Wujigege

The funniest thing is that I believe I gave her a gift, a card or something
for Christmas because it was Fall semester.
I didn't have any intentions at the time but that was what saved me from failing the class since I could prove I took the final with that haha

Heh... They rake in the money if they can't tell who is in the class due to the amount of people

Thats not the reason, the lecturer was ill and barely came to class the entire semester, so she barely taught.
The school was really crap with lecturers getting replaced by substitutes in the middle of the semester
When I transferred out, I learnt just how crap the school was

SEA countries are especially xenophobic towards each other.

@Wujigege *speechless* Paradise... Lost.

So it seems Japan is only great for visit, not staying. RIP to them foreigners that love Japan and their culture.

It's certainly great to visit. Just not staying since even if you are filthy rich like Ghosn, you get screwed over.

It is pretty pathetic too. Companies can do their own investigation but since Nissan is owned by a French company which Ghosn also runs, Nissan couldn't investigate their boss so they got prosecutors involved like he was some hardened criminal

I meant his sister

I am male and no, I am not in a band with Steven Spielberg's son

I came across this when looking up Steven Spielberg since I ended up reading about Warren Beaty and his sister Shirley MacLaine

This is heartbreaking

At least you weren't a veg, were you?

No, I wasn't a vegetable.
Still doesn't change the feeling of powerlessness though

Always remember, there is someone out there who has it worse than you

Maybe they have in house legal counsel

I dont think lawyers have to always be present for contracts

It is a contract worth millions with no legal counsel, it seems very fake

Only real life is more complicated than that, like the expression "nothing is white or black everything is a shade of gray", it's really frustrating to be hammered all over it in dramas or tv with incomplet idea

I have been very fastidious in the dramas that I watch.
Dramas are supposed to be fantasies, I have no interest in watching or reading about powerless women
That is why I enjoy Doctor X so much

It is completely unrealistic but a story about a woman who is the best doctor in the world and charging exorbitant fees is very satisfying
I am considering watching this

No need to suffer through dramas that will piss me off because they are popular or because I want to pretend to be elitist and join in conversations

Apparently north Korea is saying they have no (zero) cases of conovirus >_>

@Archaic pickle maybe they did though ... if yanno what I mean (☉v⊙)

The issue is that it will affect whole planet if it is not contained.
If they didn't suppress the news in the beginning, people would have been quarantined sooner.
It is pretty ridiculous how easily it was allowed to spread.
It could become pandemic

It's best to run for governorship or mayorship.
Even Congress in remote states where he can outspend candidates

Yeah...he was never going to be taken seriously until he had at least served in Congress. *facepalm*. And his platform was seen as socialist. *double facepalm * :D

Bernie got a book deal and made a lot of money when he lost. At least a million dollars
Trump was going to lose and make a killing too
It is all about profit.
Americans are naive.
If 1 million people donated $1 and started a project, they could build an important infrastructure themselves
Instead they donated to politicians to win seats...

The person claimed that I could set an amount per chapter and commissions would roll in but I refused..
It is very odd. I felt like insulting the person for being a naive idiot

People are self-ish/centred

I know bs when i see bs, i dont gotta be involved in the bs itself.

The point is that the African American was a prosecutor who got taken to court for a crime he didn't commit.
He was placed in the shoes of people he easily dismissed until he saw first hand that the system was against minorities.

In short. Empathy is HARD!!

various topics and subjects , if so i would recommend the series on Parcast Media via Spotify

Sure, shoot

Embrace the cynicism that comes with age
