A nerdy dude from MN, USA.

Right, they're technically correct. (The best kind of correct!) It's physically fat and cartilage, but that's how the camel's body is storing the water.

This is me internally whenever I hear people say that the sharks want to bite you, like some bloodthirsty man-eater. Especially because they're usually talking about grey nurse/sand tigers.

Also, it's definitely pedantic, but whenever I hear "that's the mommy/daddy shark" and they're completely different species.

My best friend is normally not draining, but his longtime girlfriend is, and he is when they're together. They're codependent as hell, too. We're all roommates, and man does it suck the fun out of hanging out/living with them.

Looks like Osaka's Kaiyukan! Probably Yuki and maybe Arare?

I feel this. It's hard to see a reason to keep going when over half of the country I live in voted for this. The rest of my lifetime here is going to be a shitshow.

I am white, and I imagine that it does have an impact. I think people are pretty nice as a whole, but there are obviously some strong xenophobic attitudes in Japan, and skin color/perceived background will have a big influence on people who behave like that. Usually I hear people being curious more often than hateful, but I don't doubt your friend's experiences.

It's unfortunate that some restaurants do this, but there are lots of places in Kyoto that admit or welcome foreigners. As long as you do your best to be respectful of the people and culture, a lot of people in Japan will do their best to help and/or serve you. I'm a big obvious American, and I've been treated very well the two times I've been. Kyoto feels very welcoming to me, strangely enough.

As some other people have said, an intense storm rolled through Minneapolis and this is the backside of it illuminated by the setting sun. Plus someone probably upped the contrast a bit.

That's good, that means you caught it early. Rooting for ya! Nutrition really is most of the battle, in my experience. I went from 290 to 240 over the course of a couple years, though I still have like 40 lbs to lose. You got this!

The cities are heavily blue, yes, but there is a significant chunk of red as you get further into the rural areas... and there's a lot of rural area. It gives us a democratic majority, with some strongly red counties.

But she did post a pic of her and her cat in her bio.

10pm-6am, aye. Should be a quiet night, though.
