Not the GoP. Not the green party, at least with Stein still around. Not the dems after all their nonsense. So… I don’t know; we’ll have to see who runs. The “good” news for anyone disliking my selections is that the (heavily-Gerrymandered) district means my vote will almost certainly mean fuck all anyway (assuming they don’t come up with some bullshit to throw out overseas votes to begin with since I can’t really do anything about that).


Heh. No. I thought about a piece of food on the inner planets and realized I had nothing for the outer ones by didn’t feel like re-thinking the concept


Hydrate better, eat better, and move more. I eat mostly brown rice as my main carb in my big meal and a big salad (mostly cabbage) as my other meal most days. I’m not far behind you in age and I want to poop less


Bake, pressure cook, ferment, dry, poisony squish, weak poisny squish, freezy squish, freezy squish 2: revenge of the squish, and various flavors of “freeze dry” for the TNOs


Nearly zero since I almost never use the internet outside of home. If I know I’ll be traveling, I have a separate wi-fi hotspot I pay for (a bit under 100k JPY yearly). My phone bill yearly is less than 35k JPY (usually closer to 33k but leaving a buffer in case I make a lot of outgoing calls)


Living with an abusive husband (my first stepfather).
Being super over-protective; all it did was make me fail and get into trouble a lot more in adulthood.
Having me in general.
I got snipped so no kids for me unless I somehow end up divorced/widowed and marry someone who already has kids (though most parents around my age have kids already out on their own).


Yep. I can’t spell today


Not necessarily obscure, but I don’t think Tries get enough love.
Edit: I can’t spell


I have two citizenships and permanent residency in a third country, so that seems unlikely. In the spirit of the question, though, immediately start drilling language and learning customs. If they have IT jobs, particularly in English, I’m already ready to work. I also have my own small farm so experience there as well. I’ve worked in many industries in my life, so I can jump into many things.
The kicker is probably the legal side and then finding housing which just requires doing whatever is needed. I assume I have whatever assets I had, my phone, etc.


My desk raises and lowers but I actually don’t work as well standing for some reason and there’s pain. When I work outside (I’m a farmer as a second job), I don’t typically have pain but I’m also not standing still


It kinda depends on the domain. Some tools I could buy to make my life easier would be nice, but I can’t justify the cost vs how much time they would save me. On the other hand, certain things that are hard on my back, knees, etc. are bought quickly especially in my mid 40s now.
For travel, anything domestic I will make some sacrifices, but maybe not all of them (night busses are still iffy). International where my but is in a seat for 15 hours (to fly to visit my parents every few years), I go with a decent one.
Bed-related things get priority for money since I’m spending 1/4 to 1/3 of my day in the thing and my body isn’t what it used to be. Office chair is about to be on that list as well, though I’ve been putting it off for ages (and increasingly feeling it for a bad height match to my desk).
I only buy new devices when it really becomes an issue for core usability (from phones to PCs to vehicles to farm equipment). I would rather repair or limp along with it until it dies or I can’t stand it anymore. At that point, I will usually by the newest (PC or phone) or very recent used (vehicle/equipment).


Absolutely. They just take planes (and/or sometimes helicopters) to them.


They are driven all around Japan including north of around morioka where the speed limit on the expressway goes to 120kph. People drive them on the expressways all the time (and speed over the normal 100kph limit ~ 62mph all the time as well). Many have turbochargers.


Too small, too dangerous, too bad in the snow, too likely to break down, too slow for expressways.
As someone who lives in rural northern Japan and drives his kei car on the expressways and in the snow: what? I’ve also never broken down. I don’t think kei cars are perfect, especially not mine, but this makes no sense to me as most people, including those living in Aomori which is the snowiest major city on earth, drive kei cars all year round. We do have winter tires here, unlike the all-seasons I used in the US.


I generally like mine (Nissan Dayz Rooks HS ~2018). My two biggest complaints are lack of power for certain driving (like with 3 passengers and luggage uphill) but some have turbochargers, and secondly that the smaller footprint does make them feel much more flimsy in windy conditions. I’ve been blown around the expressway and felt like I was going to get blown over on a couple of occasions. Otherwise, I am quite happy. I still try to walk/train/cycle/motorcycle first, but sometimes that’s not possible or practical.


We already do in colloquial Japanese.
I assumed it was a personal name, but I don’t know.
