Take home on 6.7 mil a year is only about 450k a month.

Utter nonsense!

This is a painful reminder that wars happen for the glory of the victors, and eternal agony for the losers.

What’s that supposed to mean?

Actually, it might have been Ice Cube who said the "Compton Michigan" line, with Dre just calling him a liar.

Next will be "Nuke".

For me, the best thing Dre ever did was the voices of some of the characters on the Eazy-Duz-It album.

For years he had me believing that Compton was in Michigan....

Am I the only one who doesn't find festivals even remotely interesting?

Always knew he was the Japanese Jimmy Savile. Without the fake marathon running.

This is another relic of Japanese corporate culture that needs to be phased out very soon.

Alternatively, you could exercise some self discipline....

Why don’t men understand?”

That's not how the tweet ends. Translate it properly, please.

Nice. My company of close to 20 years pays less than a "food processing concern".

Is the word "illuminage" British, or maybe French? Could not find it on Merriam-Webster's dictionary's online website.

The Mod is from the UK, so I think it is UK English.

I am not a native speaker. But I think it should read:

Osaka Castle illumination

Er, no, no, and no.

I am only really familiar with Ryuichi Sakamoto collaboration with David Sylvian.

Yeah, Sylvian and Sakamoto in the early 80s was my first introduction to him. I subsequently went on to discover his solo work and YMO (my first exposure to YMO being the loading screen music for Daley Thompson's Decalthlon on the Commodore 64).

Anyway, Mr Sakamoto's not dead yet. Hope his remaining time on the planet is as comfortable as it can be.

Used it (and its successor "Share") quite a bit back in the day. It was useful for tracking down obscure Japanese stuff that was hard to find on contemporary services such as Emule.

First started playing in the arcades about 30 years ago, then on the PC, then online, then for real a couple of times after coming to Japan. Haven't played in years, but I still have the set I bought in Chinatown somewhere.

Cannibal Holocaust

I use self-regies almost exclusively.

Soon these stores will be mostly unmanned.

Anyone who lets others, real or imagined, to dictate how they choose to live their lives and enjoy themselves, particularly in ways that are harmless and widely accepted, deserve everything they get.

How about pro-lifers focusing their energies on eradicating child poverty worldwide first.

So, all is forgiven, then?

Not very SDGs.

I think I need to start getting some freelance work that pays in dollars, not Japanese funny money.

Come on attempted murder?

Yes. It should be an instant attempted murder charge.

Perdue? Sounds like a loser........

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

Similar in that it will flop at the box office and the star will have to slap Chris Rock?

I currently wear a mask with a Moomin design on it.

I have three of them.

Religion by and large is a good thing,

I beg to differ/

One of Japan's saving graces is the lack of religion.

Could not agree more.
