With regards to the last topic, I've seen a number of news stories in the US trying to glamorize "lifestyle choices" that would objectively be considered poverty.

This series was honestly one of your best ideas so far. Loving these vids

Gotta appreciate Tamamo-san wanting a nice new years feast. You go girl, get that bbq pork!

The Yankii story was honestly just disturbing...
"abused and beaten over several locations" wtf

[master_emerald]

I love the vending machine! It’s so well made.
Also, the last story made me giggle.

>Biker gangs rising again
Blame Tokyo Revengers.
>Weird shit in Saitama
The more i hear stuff about Saitama, the more i believe that Saitama is the japanese version of a favela. I live in one and the weird shit is on par.

You've never tried your fries in your shake Tara???? It's so good !!! I don't know about chicken....but French fries are wonderful !!! Lots of Americans do it ^^ try !!!

Also my shower is broken right now so I choose to live with just the bath and wash using a tall cup. It actually is not bad at all really. But I am so scared of being social and having people in my room I'm afraid to ask for things to be fixed unless it's dire.

From 'Most Famous Yankii' to the 'I Shot Myself In The Foot'-Award in 1 tweet.
That must be some sort of karmic world record..

[FUSIONJAZZMAN]

More internet mysteries or crime stories coming soon? I love those so much.

[hiddeneaf]

Yay! Bring back the Yakuza, biker gangs and more bancho!!!

[Sinisphere]

Definitely got to try some tasteless candy. 😅

[benstonks]

"the pair decided to take it to the streets" lmfao what?

[Ulta_Nagenki]

Wonder what hand foods I could dip in shakes now. I've always loved McDonald's frieds and and mcflurry every year or so but that whole chicken in a shake? New ideas. Chicken tenders and shake sounds pretty good to me now.

Tbf, you CAN live without air conditioner. Just use a fan lol

You see, I’m the opposite regarding the story at the end. I prefer to have a complete house with fast internet, indoor plumbing, AC/heating, electricity, video games, comfort, etc. Sure, I’ll pay the bill for those, but it’s better than living in the wild, fending off yokai. 😮😂
