Non-American, though (rightfully) heavily invested in this election.
Since I’m an otherwise powerless observer, we took our family to Tokyo Disneyland to help and distract us until the results are in.
Really feels like a surreal Last Supper moment, NGL.
That's going to be a long trip, results probably won't be fully tallied for a week at best.
It’s a week in Japan in total, then a couple more weeks travelling Asia. Trying to cram in as many distractions as possible
The election day ground game is crucial! Don't waste your time just worrying. If you're in the US, look here: https://events.democrats.org/ It's not too late!
this election is not good for our health
Do you know what day it is?
Remember, remember this 5th of November, The Jan 6 treason and plot. I know of no reason the Jan 6 treason, Should ever be forgot.
Yeah— I’m going to curl up and watch V for Vendetta..
I have a bottle of wild turkey and some gummies. If it looks bad, I will just drug myself into another universe
Watch MSNBC, take a drink every time they throw to Steve Kornacki.
Wake up from your coma in 2025. ;)
We’re on a Disney movie marathon. First was The Great Mouse Detective and we just finished The Sword in the Stone. What should we watch next?
Robin hood, then emperor's new groove
Not a movie, but X-Men 97.
Already finished it. Hit me straight in the member berries
Treasure planet! Or Atlantis
Treasure Planet it is!
And then Atlantis.
how to train your dragon (and its sequels) are my comfort picks
I'm fortunate that I'm out of town on a work trip so I won't have the energy to worry.
I feel bad for my wife who is at home deep in the red.
Third button: weed or alcohol so you don't have to think about anything for a couple days!
one could always get a head start on hoarding toilet paper whilst one waits for the end of all things
You could always leave it all behind a come to Japan.
That's an impractical joke answer to a lot since they're strict about outsiders but it's a genuine possibility for my Japanese wife and I.
I guess I best apologize to Duolingo and get back to practicing my 日本語...
I’ve heard Southern Japan is basically depopulated and a tropical paradise. Is that true?
By southern do you mean Kyushu and shikoku? I haven't been to Shikoku but it does look like a Paradise from when Degawa and other celebrities went there on TV.
Kyushu is also pretty tropical, but more populated, and has more tourist attractions, thus more tourists.
Both are beautiful. I haven't been all over, but Shikoku looks more tropical than Kyushu.
Unfortunately they also are where most of the summer typhoons wreck havoc, landslides destroy the most property and bury the most people. Most of japan besides Kanto, Hokkaido and touhoku are pretty tropical so for example if you move to areas around Kanazawa you can get most of the Paradise with less natural disasters. If it is just for a visit, however, Kyushu is amazing. Kumamoto, Beppu, Fukuoka are beautiful in their own unique ways.
It was kind of funny to watch Hanzawa Naoki, and they'd be like: "As punishment, we're transferring you to this city outside of Tokyo!" And they'd be like: omgz a fate worse than death. And I'd look up the city and it'd be a place with great public transportation, a famous temple, and amazing local cuisine.
To me that would be a fate worse than death.
I'd rather take my chances with the typhoons and landslides.
