The US would rather try to pin mass shootings on social media platforms than address the core issues that might destabilize their status quo sociopolitical puppet show, which could set an incredibly dangerous precedent. I wouldn't be surprised if some money happened to find its way into the right pockets to try the same thing on behalf of the poor poor megacorps' "lost sales" in the near future.

You're not the only one. One of my favorite college stoner snacks was uncooked shell pasta filled with peanut butter. Sucking the peanut butter out softens the pasta and then you get a nice starchy finish.

My personal fitness results would disagree, but your mileage may vary. In a day at the airsoft field I spend about 6 hours running with a few kilos of gear and whipping around a yard/meter of gun weighing 6~8 kilos, maybe 15-20 lbs. Just shouldering a gun for a half hour takes a lot more muscle and stamina than one might expect, and aiming around uses a lot of abdominal, back, and oblique muscle. Meanwhile your legs get a colossal workout running between rooms, squatting up and down to dodge, take positions, fire out of windows, etc.

I've been playing regularly, a few times a month, for about 2 years now and while I've definitely gotten in much better shape because of it, at the end of a particularly intense day I still get jelly legs and full body muscle fatigue.

If you're interested most fields offer gear rentals so you can try it out and see how it works for you without having to make a big investment in your own stuff.

Sorry, but this is nothing but empty stereotypes and borderline racism. Yes, corporate Japan has work culture issues, but at the end of the day Japan is built on the backs of small businesses, which, despite struggling with the times, typically offer a lot more job stability than a lot of western corporate jobs. To say everyone is sexist and racist is a wholly inappropriate overgeneralization, and the war crime thing is hardly a thing in the public consciousness at all. Yes, the ultranationalists sometimes get a lot of press, but they're basically schoolchildren compared to the western alt-right these days. There's plenty of activisim and progressivism going on, and while the wheels of change turn slowly here people are trying. Social support programs are lightyears ahead, there's no toxic culture war, and people are generally much more respectful towards each other. In my experience foreigners tend to form bubbles not because the culture is impenetrable (it's not) but because they aren't willing or able to put in the effort to overcome the linguistic and cultural barriers.

Also, OP, don't make up pissbaby excuses for yourself. I was diagnosed with severe ADHD back in first or second grade and have been living in Japan for nearly 10 years. I'm not saying it will necessarily be easy for you. However, you're not going to die without meds, and there are plenty of nonpharmaceutical strategies to help wrangle the ups and downs. Personally, I found there to be significant mental health and self esteem/identity benefits to reducing dependence on medication. At the end of the day, remember that some Japanese people struggle with ADHD too!

Yet they don't seem willing to put forth any effort for Linux support. I've been a gamepass subscriber for years but I'm on the edge of canceling it because it's useless on my Steam Deck.
