@ConceptualJames @DefiyantlyFree I tried. I really tried. But Hitler was a moron. I just had the uncontrollable urge to reach back through time and space and give him a wedgie.

@DefiyantlyFree I mean, kinda, as an object of study, not as a field manual or treatise of truth.

Been rereading Mein Kampf again so I can skip the high drama and dull repetitiveness of my X feed while being able to study exactly the same enemy messaging.

Brendan O’Neill absolutely nails it again. 🎯🎯🎯 Not mentioned and totally relevant too: Palestinian courts can impose death sentences for selling land to Israelis.

@4z07h0z @randomyoko They were definitely here 10 years ago, too, but they would have been a lot easier to miss. The current trend is called “nama donuts,” which literally means “raw donuts,” but what it actually is is a very light dough that almost melts in your mouth. interbelle.co.jp/media_sp/infor…

@FadedMagnet @randomyoko Ah, ok! Last time I was in Japan was about a decade ago and I didn't remember seeing any Krispy Kreme then. Glad to hear Japan loves tasty donuts too!

I’m curious about this too 👇 🇯🇵 Japanese account: “All I see are American BBQs, but I want to know about American sweets—big ice creams, giant donuts, stuff like that.”

All the large accounts that present themselves as truth-seeking journalists or commentators, then quote posts like this and act utterly baffled—“What the hell!?” “WTF!?” “What’s going on here???”—are frauds. It took me less than a minute to see what the court documents actually said and understand what they meant. They do not show that the bullet was not fired from the gun. They show only that the bullet was too fragmented to confidently link it to ANY gun. This is not uncommon, and DOES NOT mean the bullet didn’t come from Robinson’s gun. Of course the defense attorneys are going to spin this as evidence that Robinson is innocent. That is what defense attorneys do. They scrape together every possible fragment of doubt and present it as if it were fully exculpatory. It’s not. Defense lawyers are paid to downplay or ignore evidence pointing to guilt, exploit people’s cognitive biases, and make fallacious arguments sound persuasive. This information about the bullet doesn’t erode the case for Robinson’s guilt in any way. It is totally neutral on that front. And it in no way invalidate the mountain of positive and mutually corroborating lines of evidence we do have for Robinson’s guilt. You should expect more from the commentators you follow, and hold them accountable by refusing to give them your attention in the future. If they could not be bothered to spend even one minute checking the facts before spreading confusion to you and millions of others on X, they do not deserve your attention. They are nothing more than grifting engagement farmers.

@PSneakyCis @randomyoko You can get several kinds at any convenience store in Japan.

@randomyoko Ever had an ice cream sandwich? They're kind of a staple around here.

@SinoopyS @randomyoko There are not enough pies in Japan. That’s true.

@randomyoko Have a key lime pie.

@Pattern_Sensor @randomyoko Finally something on this list that Japan doesn’t already have (and likely at higher quality).

@randomyoko Maple Bacon Donuts!

@penkokoo @randomyoko There are several pieces of chains here in Japan, and the New York restaurant Bubby’s has locations as well. The pie is great, but the sizes are too small.

@randomyoko Please Please Please Please don’t forget APPLE PIE!!! I know Japanese people love this, because of McDonald

@4z07h0z @randomyoko There is a Krispy Kreme in just about every mall in Japan. And there’s a huge donut boom going on right now. Mostly light-as-air donuts filled with all sorts of delicious fillings.

@randomyoko Krispy Kreme, a popular donut chain, is currently doing a promotion to celebrate NASA's Artemis II launch, which will be first crewed mission to the moon in 53 years.

@Sverizona @randomyoko Japan has the same thing. Ice cream tempura.

Here is something I bet you'll love! It's a slightly unusual dessert, but you'll see it in a lot of Mexican-American restaurants, especially in the Southwest. FRIED ICE CREAM! I know it sounds insane, but it's so good! They freeze a ball of ice cream until it's completely solid, then roll it in cereal crumbs and deep fry it just long enough that the outside gets crispy. Usually I've had it with vanilla ice cream, but the one in the photo is cinnamon flavor. Then it's topped with syrup, cream, or anything else you like!

@Devon_Eriksen_ @pika_nekopanda I live in Japan and drive to work,because it takes a third of the time the bus does. Also, because I’m an American.

@pika_nekopanda America is too big and sparsely populated to be served effectively by trains.

日本では通勤・通学の時ほとんどの人が電車を利用するけど、アメリカはどうなのかな？🤔 あと日本の電車は時間通りに来て時間通りに到着するよ🚃 電車の中は基本誰も話していなくてものすごく静かなんだ

@TheWestWins @mattforney Unless we want to just annex it and run it ourselves, it’s going to be exactly like Iraq. I keep looking at it like a game of Civilization. You never leave a country after beating its military. They rebuild. You annex it and add it to your empire.

@mattforney If you think this war is something that's even possible to win, I've got news for you on who the retard is, bud. If by "winning" you mean deposing the current government so it can be replaced by various terror cells we will also have to fight, then yes we're "winning."

A majority of Democrats believe America is winning the war with Iran, which means that a majority of Democrats have a firmer grip on reality than the Retard Right. Unbelievable.

@TacticalStNick Raspberry is 木苺. Ki’ichigo—“tree strawberry.”

Time to start learning Japanese.

Modern Nazis don’t come with swastikas They come with blue hair

Kinda looking that way.

@MsMelChen @peterboghossian The SDG circle is everywhere here in Japan. It’s just that Japanese people don’t really believe anything. The last time they did, they got nuked and the living god got on the radio to tell them that he was just a normal dude.

Guys it was lovely but I think this is right. It's time to cut the bridge off to preserve Japanese Twitter. The language barrier is a genuine moat against memetic invasion. @peterboghossian wrote about why and how anglo countries became awash in wokeism, and part of it comes down to linguistic determinism through usage of the English language. English is particularly well-suited for "discourse engineering." Other languages simply don't have the same built-in equivocation, so the ideology has to be imported explicitly and clumsily as English loanwords, or it fizzles. That lack of seamlessness is a natural - but not foolproof - firewall to the woke mind virus. We caught glimpses of each other, but it is time for the window to close.

@EarthToGazelle No. No one will even notice you jaywalking. And even if a cop sees you, he’ll just scold you.

I just learned that in Japan they will imprison you for 45+ days, with no ability to contact anyone you know, just for jaywalking. They will feed you white bread, plain pasta noodles with no sauce, and hot water with no tea. Their justice system will go hard over small simple “violations” — But they will refuse to protect women who have reported having violent stalkers. I loved Japan when I went, but in general I won’t ever glorify any place, ever, because there’s always some weird shit going on pertaining to the safety of women and children.. practically no matter where you go in the world.

@Devon_Eriksen_ If you have Netflix, watch “Solitary Gourmet,” which is just about a business man who gets hungry all over Tokyo and eats at little greasy spoon restaurants. It broadcasts late at night here, and I’ve seen it called 夜食テロ—“midnight snacking terrorism.”

Apparently, "food terrorism" is not a joke the Japanese came up with just now to describe our steakposting. It's a preexisting Japanese idiom for showing you something you really want to eat, when you can't actually eat it.

@artdecofuturist @EricRichards22 There are several chain restaurants that basically serve nothing BUT meatloaf here in Japan. It’s a huge deal.

@EricRichards22 Bro don't do this not yet they may not be ready

People of Japan: Not only do we have barbecue; we also have glorious meatloaf

@EricRichards22 Japan does tons of meatloaf. Tons. They are called “hambaagu” (Hamburg), and are large hamburger steaks. Very popular.
