Having free time after my semi-voluntary retirement, I reached out to the wedding company I worked with back in the 00s to see about going back to minister/performer work.
After doing it for two months, I decided to quit.

My streaming service has/had an AI porn section, so I decided to check one out. Even for porn AI was too lifeless and unnatural to be watchable. It looked like someone using corpses as marionettes.

Because Japanese sentences can drop all specific information and nearly all parts of speech while remaining acceptably grammatical for everyday speech, the language is ideal for abuse through gaslighting. Especially by those working with non-native speakers.

To the bank sending me emails every 8 hours asking why I haven’t signed the paperwork they sent:
It’s because you sent me the forms at midnight Friday Tokyo time, and I can only sign them during US East Coast business hours!
And that’s 100% because of your bumblefuck provincial system!
