re: Americans stranded when Afghanistan fell.
There were a ton of desperate people hoping for help in getting out including, iirc an entire school class on a visit (who vouched to the school and parents that the kids would be safe???).
In a recent interview I watched, the interviewee asked if the MSM had printed any stories about Americans getting back safely. Personally, I don’t recall any. Probably some, many, most got back. But I don’t recall any stories. Certainly not failure stories but even personal interest stories of what the people felt and what they went through. I would assume this is to avoid upsetting a Dem Agenda but perhaps I am not being fair.

You probably are excited about the advent of “Organic Cricket Flour”. It’s produced in Canada, used in some salty snacks and kid’s school lunches. Best of all, if you eat crickets, you’ll eat less beef and the oceans won’t boil!
Now you can be excited by yet another product that normalizes consumption of … well … bugs.

Good times. I lived in Japan for 7 years. If you’re white you still get discriminated against. But if you’re bold enough you just power through.

Motteru

????

English: Have

It means a lot more than just have. No words translate/transliterate one-for-one. It means basically having the right stuff. Somebody looks at you and knows they’re dealing with someone of substance. Maybe not at first. But they come to realize it.

This next few bits may sound like a brag. But it’s nothing anyone who has made it through armed services accessions training can’t say. Just don’t quit.

I somehow fumbled my way through a social network I knew nothing about to a guy who owned a bar (nothing mysterious about that) who played on a corporate rugby team.

Now, who wants a rugby player who folds into the fetal position and cries? They extend practice in the Tokyo summer from 4 to 5 to 8 hours. It’s starting to dawn on them that there is something seriously wrong with the white guy they let on the practice field. Let’s face it. If you play Rugby there is something wrong with you.

I never let them know that my screen saver was a picture of Helldivers over burning Japanese carriers. That wouldn’t have helped my case.

Re recent cellphone thread:
FWIW, I’ve been using conservative company Patriot Mobile for 2+ years, without problems. Customer service has been responsive and US-based. They have discounts for military, first responders and NRA members.

A bisexual stalinist, yes I would call that eccentric, before I knew about his complex upbringing I thought he might have been beneficial to urban youth aspiration, but he absorbed a smorgasbord of leftists influences from every sans his stepfather who was an army officer and small businessman
