@japan_nobunaga It isn’t guns that make a place violent. It’s the violent people who use guns for crime. See the UK for other samples of how guns aren’t the issue.

Americans, teach me 🇺🇸
Japan has almost no guns and very low crime.
America has lots of guns and a huge debate about it.
But here's what genuinely confuses me:
my American friends online feel SAFER with a gun,
not less safe.
Can someone explain that mindset
to a curious Japanese guy? 🙏

@96_0492a You’ve chosen wisely. Rip stomach the next day. But worth it.

@japan_nobunaga It’s not someone’s appearance. It’s a pattern and people notice patterns.

Honestly, racism is one of those things many Japanese people struggle to understand.
If we see a white person, we think, "Oh, they're white."
If we see a black person, we think, "Oh, they're black."
If there were blue people, we'd probably think, "Oh, they're blue."
And that's about as far as it goes.
If someone is nice, we think they're nice.
If someone is an asshole, we think they're an asshole.
If we like them, we like them.
If we don't, we don't.
We grow up being told not to cause trouble, not to fight, and to get along with the people around us.
Maybe that's why judging someone by their race feels so foreign to a lot of Japanese people.
We're usually too busy judging people by whether they're good people or not.

@DallasTexasTV Thank god. They still had it across the globe. America got their microwaved anal excretion.

This father was on a road trip with his two young daughters & they needed to go to the restroom so he stopped at a QT & took them in the women’s restroom since no one was in it & a man came yelling at him to get out & called the cops.The girls were crying & then he assaulted him.

@yjtravellife For my money, there is no better brisket in the world. You went to the right place.

My first brisket ever! Terry Black’s BBQ! Hey, everyone in Texas! This is the real BBQ, right? 🤤

JUST IN: Elon Musk's net worth rises by $165 billion today, more than Bill Gates' entire net worth.
Elon is now worth $1.3 trillion.

USA. I went to a Texas BBQ restaurant.
The man at the counter asked: brisket or ribs?
I stood very still.
In my country, this question has another name.
It is called choosing a clan.
Brisket: slow. Patient. It has waited 14 hours for this moment.
Fourteen hours of smoke and silence.
This is the way of discipline. This is the way of my teachers.
Ribs: bold. Immediate. They arrive already holding their weapon.
They do not wait. They do not explain themselves.
This is the way of instinct. This is the way of warriors who do not return.
I asked the man which was better.
He said: "Depends on the person."
I stared at him for a long time.
This was not an answer.
This was a test.
Perhaps the most important test of my life.
I chose brisket. I sat down. I prepared myself.
The ribs arrived at the next table.
They smelled of smoke and oak and something I cannot name in any language.
The man eating them did not look at his food.
He looked at nothing.
He had already transcended.
I went back to the counter.
"I made an error," I said. "Ribs."
I sat down again.
The brisket at the next table glistened quietly.
Fourteen hours of patience. Fourteen hours of waiting.
Looking at me.
Not with anger. With something worse.
With understanding.
I went back.
"Brisket," I said. "I have returned."
The man at the counter said nothing.
He had seen this before.
Brisket. Ribs. Brisket. Ribs.
On my fourth approach, he placed both on the counter without speaking.
I understood then: there is no choosing.
There is only the truth of what you already are.
And what I am, apparently, is someone who cannot leave a BBQ restaurant.
I ate. I could not finish.
I sat with the remains for a very long time.
The other customers left. New customers arrived. I was still there.
The man came to my table at closing time.
"You doing okay?"
I told him I was conducting a funeral.
He nodded like this was a reasonable thing to say.
A ninja does not choose between brisket and ribs.
A ninja orders both and sits with the consequences until the restaurant closes.
Is this normal in Texas?
And which one was right?
I need to know. I am going back tomorrow.
English
@japan_nobunaga Normal in Texas. Lots of stolen and illegal guns in California and Illinois.
English
Be honest with me, Americans 🇺🇸
Do you actually own a gun?
In Japan, I have never seen a real one. Not once.
Not at a friend's house. Not in a drawer. Never.
But online, every American just goes
"oh, mine's in the nightstand"
like it's a phone charger 🔌
So now I'm genuinely curious:
What's YOUR gun? The very first one you ever got?
Is this normal everywhere in the US?
Or just some states?

@s_2829p This makes me so happy to see Japanese enjoying Texas as much as this Texan enjoys Japan. 🥰🥰🥰

@tuuu28283 I need videos of Japanese people going into American 7-11s and reacting to them. 😬😬😬

La FIFA preguntó a una japonesa que por qué recogen la basura en todos los estadios a los que asisten.
Ella lo explicó: "Es nuestra cultura. Pero también es una señal de respeto hacia el país y estadio que nos acoge y hacia nuestros jugadores. Para nosotros es un honor que nos reciban aquí y no podríamos dejar todo hecho un desastre".
