  1. i want shrimp tacos now. that one looked really good

  2. it definitely is. also, love your pfp. that manga made me cry so hard.

  3. Mari Lopez yeah, i hate them too, and hate the sweat mustache. but i have basic human decency, so i wear them when i go out to curb the spread of this pandemic. we wouldn't even have to wear masks if people just followed directions like those in basically every other country. europe is back to normal already, and banned people from the usa from coming there because we have a pro-disease president whose cult followers also became pro-disease.

  4. we need ranked choice voting. most democracies already use it. and it's the most democratic way to run an election. you can vote third party without throwing away your vote, which allows third parties to exist. even one of the founding fathers (i forget which one) said that a two party system would be "the greatest evil to befall this land." but look what we've got now. but then again, we all pledged allegiance to a republic in elementary school, not a democracy. guess that's why the person with more votes loses, and every election is only about the lesser of two evils. ranked choice voting. call your representatives about it.

  5. i bet you go into stores completely naked, because them forcing you to wear clothes is "tyranny" 🙄

  6. GiarcraiGO no way you're a nurse. is the requirement to wear clothes inside a store tyrannical? it's just basic hygiene. just be a decent human. you don't have to always be contrarian. didn't you grow out of that in your early teens? are you a sheep for wearing clothes to the grocery store? i guess so...

  7. Dallsant oyasumi punpun. legit after some chapters i would just pour a glass of whiskey and stare at the rain outside my window for 30 minutes at a time, just trying to process. never had a manga hit me that hard in my life.

  8. Esteban M. ok, so with the exception of canada, no real better options. try staying in japan or denmark or south korea or singapore or finland or sweden. you'll have a very different outlook afterwards. i also came from a 3rd world country, and am extremely grateful for the opportunities the usa has given me. but the current state of things right now are seeming to resemble the end of the roman empire. if this continue in this way, i wonder how long a luxurious life in the usa will last for the middle class. i've lived in japan and thailand, and while thailand is exciting and chaotic, it's not a place i could see myself living the rest of my life. but japan, on the other hand, just seems superior to the usa in almost every way, especially regarding safety, stability, and cooperation of society with each other.

  9. VoidX yeah, opiates to keep the pain in our feet away, and stimulants to keep us up and peppy. it started out with him just giving it to some of my co-workers, and wasn't mandatory, but seeing how much it helped them get through their grueling 16 hour work days was enough to convince most others to start taking the handouts from him. so yeah, it's not like he would spike our drinks or anything, but put us in conditions where no human could manage those conditions for an extended period of time without chemical help. then he offered it.

  10. VoidX i lived in japan for 3 years and speak the language fluently. when i lived there, it only took about a year for me to find a boyfriend who i was very attracted to, and the sex was great. you are right that the work life is brutal in japan, but because people are responsible, there are also a lot of liberties you have there that you don't have in the usa, like being able to buy beer from a vending machine on the side of the road. the public transportation is great, never late, cheap, clean, and quiet. i mostly spent my time in nagasaki and fukuoka, but did not once feel discriminated against. there was this one really kind old man who always wanted to talk to me as long as he could possibly keep me, who would walk his dog near my dorm. i never had a negative exchange, even with the older folks. you are right that they need to work on gender equality, and that mandatory unpaid work events should be curtailed, but overall, i felt more comfortable there. i never felt unsafe walking to the convenience store at 3am, which is something i would never even consider doing here. i know the ups and downs, and am not romanticizing anything. i still feel like the pros are worth the cons.

  11. VoidX the topic of sex is taboo among the older generations, but the younger generations are much more open. in kyuushuu, there are no overcrowded trains, so no groping. i didn't go to tokyo, and honestly would prefer not to. i don't much like giant cities anyway. my favorite part about nyc was central park. lots of nature and animals. that's how kyuushuu is. fukuoka is kind of a big city that was a touch overwhelming for me, but definitely nothing like tokyo. and nagasaki had so many beautiful edo period houses and flowers and trees growing everywhere and kind people at every turn. i did one year of schooling there, and then 2 years of teaching english. you're right, work is rough there, but where i lived in florida, i would work 80 hour weeks where my boss would put my overtime hours on the clock of a different store he owned so that he didn't have to pay overtime, and then drugged us to keep us able to work longer. so even though working in japan was tough and required a lot of extra unpaid extracurricular activities, it was still a breeze compared to my work life in the usa.

  12. joy4118 lol i bet you're a flat earther too. probably anti-vax too? and also probably drinking bleach cuse trump told you to? you've already shown that you're completely delusional, so there's really no point in furthering this discussion.

  13. Total Control 871 CO2 is a molecule millions of times smaller than even a single viral particle. it passes through the mask as if it's not even there.

  14. Total Control 871 no, it means no point trying to convince someone the earth is round when the overwhelming breadth of scientific information out there already wasn't enough to convince them. some people just won't listen, no matter how much you try to reason with them. i'm pretty sure you're a russian operative trying to weaken the usa by causing people to spread the disease. my roommate is a mortician, and he's scared for his life. he brings me n95 masks from work and makes me sanitize my hands before i come through the door. he has seen first hand how dangerous this virus is, and so he is terrified. i trust his fist hand experience more than a tinfoil hat on the internet.

  15. Total Control 871 i stopped speaking with the flat earther as soon as i found out, didn't i? and now i'm about to stop speaking with you. have a good life. assuming covid doesn't get you. but you probably live in russia anyway.

  16. Nirmana Fernando yeah, japan was heavily affected before massive quarantine and contact tracing procedures were put into place. aside from that, wearing a mask in japan is just normal during cold and flu season, so during a pandemic, no one politicized it. japan did worse than the usa at first, due to extremely dense population, but quickly enacted the proper measures to get it under control, and so got it under control. trump, on the other hand, is owned by the big business sector. as more small businesses go bankrupt, their niches are quickly swallowed up by big business, which ends up being profitable for them in the long term. so they're having their lapdog figurehead president spread pro-disease propaganda to keep people sick, reduce social security spending, and allow big businesses to outcompete small businesses. that's been the plan from the beginning.

  17. ReactionShot at least you believe we live on a spherical planet. looks like at least some true information made it through your tinfoil hat. but yeah, you keep OBEYing when they tell you not to go grocery shopping naked. guess you're a sheep too.

  19. Ameiru Senpai it's called oyasumi punpun it's absolutely worth the read, but don't come for me if you feel like dying after reading it. it's very, very, very good. but as OP said, haunting but beautiful. sometimes agonizingly nostalgic. darkly relatable. overwhelming at times. the rest of the art is drawn in manga style, it's just punpun and his family who are drawn in the style of the pfp. i guess having less detail in the main character and his family makes it much easier to self-insert into the story. since they look like no one, they could look like anyone. at least that's how this particular work is made. it's a masterpiece, but also hauntingly accurate, and dripping with disillusionment. hard to describe, really.

  20. VoidX oyasumi punpun resonated very much with my own life and upbringing. it may not be a masterpiece to you, but it was to me. same goes for Haibane Renmei. it never became popular, and a lot of people find it too slow for their tastes, but it has a cult following of people who are completely and utterly obsessed, like myself. i consider it a masterpiece. another one would be onii-sama e... which probably wouldn't be relatable or interesting to you at all, being a shojo anime from the 70's, but it expertly displayed to me the feelings i felt growing up, in a way that stuck with me and never went away. i still feel my heart about to explode every time i hear the opening song. aku no hana is another one. i'll look into your suggestions, but typically i prefer josei to seinen

  21. VoidX i needed that money to pay my rent, and was in a toxic relationship with a guy who only paid rent and spent the rest on pot and videogames, so i was responsible for buying all the food and cleaning supplies and household necessities. definitely doing better now though. living on student loans for the meantime, doing my masters in neurosci, and dating a girl this time who's a few years older than me but is really responsible, worked 15 years as a prison guard so she's tough as nails, and now is going back to school to get a nursing degree cuse she hated being a correctional officer. she's driving lyft and uber in the meantime, and with the lower living expenses where i live, is earning more money overall. my lease is up in 3 weeks and then i'm moving in with her. i'm so excited. i'm 30 rn, but haven't felt this way about someone since i was in high school. things are definitely looking up. thanks for the kind words ^_^ <3

  23. Total Control 871 most money for research comes from giant corporations or universities anyway. not the government. but the corporations do own the government, and you voting for a pro-corporation anti-people government is what's put us in this situation in the first place. i work in neuroscience research, and can assure you, everything is based on the data and statistics, and who the funding comes from (in my case the university) has no bearing on the results of science. big corporations may hire researchers to specifically fudge the data to tell you that cigarettes are safe or that lead in the water doesn't cause brain damage, but that's because of runaway capitalism, and not some government conspiracy. bernie sanders was the only politician who would have been held accountable to only the people, because his campaign was bought and paid for by the people. the rest are just corporate lapdogs, doing whatever their corporate overlords tell them to. but in this case, i'm guessing you're a russian troll, trying to weaken the usa by encouraging us to spread disease amongst ourselves.

  24. there is no seating, it's a taco stand, not a restaurant. you don't eat the tacos there anyway, even before covid. you take it back to your car and either eat it there or bring the food home.
    2
  25. that's so stupid. you're also mandated to wear pants in a business. is it bad for business kicking nudists out of your restaurant?
    2
  26. if everyone just wore them in the first place, and social distanced properly, this pandemic would be over. europe's already open again. and europe has banned all travel from the usa, because the usa is among the worst in the world in terms of cases and deaths per capita. we'd already be back to normal by now if it wasn't for our incompetent leadership, and the crazy conspiracy theorists who put them in office. but you're right, if people keep being contrarian like this, maybe we will have to keep wearing masks forever because of pro-disease people like you making the whole country sick
    2
  27. Smelson and you know who owns your government? those big companies. so sure, if they're making money off it, they'll tell their puppet leader to keep spreading misinformation to keep this pandemic going on as long as possible. bernie sanders was the only person who was accountable to the people, and not big business interests. but you might be right in some aspects, the president's handlers are having him spread his pro-disease philosophy so that small businesses die and then they can corner their respective markets. we're run by big corporations. the president is just a figurehead, doing their bidding. they bought his election, so they own his seat in the whitehouse. get big business money out of politics.

  28. that's only assuming the virus particles travel individually, but in reality that's not the case, they fly in droplets which are big enough to be filtered, even by a cloth mask. and if you cough while wearing a cloth mask, those droplets only travel about 2 feet instead of 6 feet. but my roommate is a mortician, so i have an ample supply of n95 masks.

  29. ReactionShot it worked when people were required to wear clothes into the grocery store. before this pandemic, do you think that taco stand would have served some guy not wearing clothes? i guess you're already OBEYing. edit: oops typo

  30. ilive4anime oyasumi punpun

  31. ilive4anime you finished it quite quickly! but yeah, nothing can prepare you for oyasumi punpun. if you like anime, and want to continue not knowing what to think or feel about life anymore, watch the first four episodes of aoi bungaku. the entire series animates several completely different traditional japanese works of literature. but the first four episodes cover ningen shikakku, meaning "no longer human". i highly recommend it. but yeah, punpun left me in a daze for weeks, unable to get it out of my head. ningen shikkaku is about the same level of intensity as punpun. definitely check out the version made in the series aoi bungaku

  32. ilive4anime yeah, it's like that. i went through the same thing. it's one of those that leaves you in a place where parts of you won't ever be the same. i'm surprised you made it through the whole series so quickly. it took me about 3 days cuse some of the times i had to just take an hour to cry into my pillow until i fell asleep, or drink a bunch of whiskey and stare blankly out the window for indeterminate amounts of time. it was a rough ride, but in the end, i'm glad i read it.

  34. NPC that is a law to wear clothes in public, genius.

  35. once they get back in their car. this is a taco stand, so no seating anyway. you pick them up, get in your car, and eat them there or take them home.
