No. I do have aphantasia, but that’s the only thing that jumps out to me as weird (in this situation; I’m plenty weird in other ways).

Maybe because I don’t “see” images or have a mind’s eye in the same way other people describe it, things work a bit differently. I still do dream vividly and visually, at least so far as I can tell.

This makes things like reading difficult or impossible. Unfortunately it also makes remembering to try reading just as hard.

I must be weird, but I can read in my dreams (and tell time, etc.)

read it from left to right like a language

A number of languages are not left-to-right, BTW.

Ignoring domestic terrorism, an outside attack to me seems most likely in terms of cyberattacks on weak infrastructure (utilities, signals, etc.)

In Japan, you can be on the hook (sued) for knowingly engaging in a relationship with someone you know to be married. It’s usually about breaking up the marriage, from what I understand. Sex of the people involved doesn’t matter here.

Japan does not grant citizenship to those born here. There are multiple ways to acquire Japanese citizenship, most of which are based on the most recent couple generations of parents/grandparents. Multiple citizenship technically isn’t allowed, either. Anyone naturalizing to Japanese citizenship must relinquish their existing citizenship(s) unless the other country does not allow relinquishing. If found out, the Japanese government can take action to revoke citizenship (or at least parts of it; there are actually court cases about this).

I’m shocked that this is still news as often as he seems to speak without thinking

Some of the the Louisana folks would often say ka-SHAY in a wonderful Cajun accent.

Don’t be sorry :) I’m sure different people would even argue about the definitions above. I lived in a super-left (comparatively and using US terms) neighborhood in a generally left city, in a generally left district in a state that mostly voted conservative. Depending upon the granularity (and definition of all the above terms), the results would play out rather differently. I’m a software engineer for a living so exercises a bit like this are something I do often

I think it’s too broad a question. How is conservative measured? State level? District? Past voting? Voter rolls?

I also imagine the type and level of crime matter. But there’s also what isn’t recorded.

Interesting question, though

As long as it’s not scrambled, I suppose

It varies by region at least in the US based on a few years of doing service desk work. Listening to YouTubers, it seems a bit all over the place as well.

Well, crap. Guess I’ll eat a nice quitch to chear myself up

A “niche” is not a “nitch”

For the Koreans I met who moved to Japan, the work culture can be less bad, as can be working at certain companies despite where they graduated from. My sample size is small, though, and I am neither Japanese nor Korean.

Yep.　裸祭り -> hadaka matsuri -> naked festival

shriners?

神主 (kannushi) is apparently the term for the head priest. Not sure who made the decision, though.

Japan allows women (…)

A shrine in Japan which is legally distinct from the Japanese government (especially post-WWII)

They’re dentists’ drills; the sound alone is horrifying! (I have nothing useful to add)

That would be some shit if Japan stopped being rabies free because of human bites.
