The trains are nice and clean. The other people on the train are polite. It's inexpensive, convenient, and fast. You can get to your destination faster than if you were to drive and read or work or play games or whatever.

It's extremely expensive to own a car, park it and drive in Japan. Many places you would want to go simply don't have anywhere to park. You're paying a lot to get a worse mode of transportation.

I'm not saying that trains are better than cars. You couldn't pay me to ride a train or bus in the US. But the situation is entirely different in Japan.
You do realize Japan is more than the Tokyo Greater Metropolitan Region and Osaka, right? There's large swathes of the country where vehicle ownership makes life a lot easier. Where I was, everyone owned a car. Granted, they took a train if they worked in the city or had business to conduct there, but there were cars and parking lots galore where I was, all my Japanese coworkers owned cars and it wasn't inaka, it was a commuter town in the Greater Nagoya region. How the hell could a nation become an international automotive powerhouse if it hated cars on principle?

Granted, though, there's a lot more restriction on types of cars one can get, and people walk, bike and take public transport far more often than Americans do.
 
>be former meth addict
>one day feel disgusted in yourself
>hear a voice telling you to make pillows
>attribute this to God
>make nice fucking pillows (semi-firm and firm are his best, the soft ones aren’t for me)
>during the 2020 election you are Trump’s strongest soldier
>get sued multiple times
>still calls 2020 a stolen election
>Walz effectively tells people to sue you
>go to DNC and calls Harry Sisson a fag

Truly, Trump’s strongest soldier
Plus it was hilarious explaining to my mother what 1488 was after the commercial came on while I was visiting for the holidays.
 
Vladimir Putin claims that he wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if the democrats didn't steal the election from Trump:

Mind you, this post is not here to start Russia-Ukraine spergory, but it is relevant nonetheless
He certainly has a way with words. I think this fits neatly with my heuristic that the influence Russia tries to exert on US opinion isn't necessarily directed towards a concrete goal, but more just aimed at causing more division, e.g. regardless of who they wanted in the white house, they had a bunch of people '16-'20 complaining that the president is illegitimate because he's a Russian agent or Russia somehow tipped the election.

Think about it this way: if Trump comes with a smoking gun on election fuckery on Monday, will the added context of this statement from Putin make people who weren't already inclined to believe it more or less likely to do so?
 
Well I mean obviously I'm bisexual if I think based on anecdotal evidence that more women would want to fuck Henry Cavil but would not want to fuck KingCobraJFS based on appearance alone. It's not like we live in a world where women openly say things like "Henry Cavil is hot" or "I want to fuck Henry Cavil" for some reason? Also, even if they did, what on earth could be the reason they'd say or do that?

Fuckin chuds man, just can't admit they're all bisexual...
Henry Cavill is the one-two combo of being attractive and also being a complete nerd that cares a lot about trivial shit (honestly I would listen to a multi hour long video of him just explaining the lore in The Witcher or Superman because he clearly knows what he's talking about).
Are you telling us Mama Bravo raised a bitch? Is this what you are saying?

A disgrace!
When your team hasn't done shit in decades and all of a sudden starts hitting homeruns one after another, I can see a person start to get whiplash (or worried that the other shoe is going to drop and everything that has been done this week will be undone like it never existed).
 
I don't know how anyone can possibly get excited about the AI superpower investment. This is my one doomer point. What we call artificial intelligence is anything but intelligent. This is a field best left to the private sector. Companies like Google, Amazon, and Apple are burning money and getting little back in return. I get this feeling that Barron Trump went down a Tiktok AI rabbit hole and now we're wasting tax dollars on gay Skynet.
If you know any CEOs, AI is currently a magic word for them. If they hear the US is leading in AI, whatever the fuck that is, they might be more interested in moving their operations here, even if they sell broomsticks.

Tax money isn't being used for this, video in the thread where Trump was asked about Musk and Altman having beef and he mentioned that it wasn't a taxpayer funded thing. This AI stuff doesn't concern me much, I don't see it having much success. If Thiel was involved I would be concerned, but Altman is a fucking failure at delivering.
 
I've heard them talk, I've watched Thomas give interviews, I watch them not break any laws, just march around chanting. If someone thinks they are feds they are just retarded. They might have a federal snitch among them, but they were generally trying to show folks another way. But the con inc and boomer cons can't handle thinking we might have to go an active route, and seethe endlessly young, fit dudes are sick of bullshit.

Probably best to be very skeptical of them, but it's just silliness to call them feds, even if they were, what laws are they breaking?
I remember filing them into the fed category in my head when all the leftist rags and reddit headlines about it were basically "lol the patriot front aren't feds! stupid nazis!" all in unison. If all the usual suspects say they aren't feds then they are most likely feds.
I just don't see the benefit in telling people they aren't feds.

Never forget, they want AI to happen so fucking badly because 5 minutes after AGI is confirmed they will have absolutely no use for any of us "useless eaters" ever again. They'll arrange for 15 minute cities, set up guards via AI powered surveillance systems, give us lots of food and sex chatbots to keep us fat happy but not breeding, free birth control, and then wait a few years until we all die out.

I knew they were feds when the police did absolutely nothing at all about any protests, especially not to protect the conservative side of things... Except intervene to keep anyone, including the press, from approaching the Patriot Front guys, at which point they were allowed to march out of sight and hopped into identical white vans and left the area.

This happened repeatedly, over and over again, until the press stopped even reporting on that much.
 
Honest to God question, in terms of being fucked up with Joepedo and then just this easy, simple reversal of things that were fucking normal in society 20 years ago, is this what a junkie going clean feels like? As if you don't have the burdening presence on you and all the jitters and withdrawls (let's say this was the Butler attempt) and you're back and healthy and feeling good?
