I head up a small community for fans of a niche indie brand. The founder is doing an event in Japan with an exclusive item for people who attend! I was so excited and was looking into booking a plane ticket to go!

However… turns out that Japan has a law that absolutely forbids stimulant medication in the country. And, no, I don’t really want to upend my regimen of 8 years and risk going on a new medication for the trip.

I’m really shattered, as I wanted to attend this cool event and meet up with other enthusiasts. It really hurts to be barred from an opportunity like this.

I hate ADHD. I really do.

      You want to be right, and read what you want

      No, I’m Korean and still have family members who experienced first hand the horrors of ethnic conflict brought to them by the government of Japan. The types of crimes that the Japanese government still denies and still attempts to white wash out of history.

      Maybe actually pick up a history book about the topic some time? Or, maybe try reading about the history of Japan somewhere other than a manga?

        Maybe try reading ? I explicitly stated why you’re talking in the air, you really want to be right, while thinking your past justifies any of that eh ? (Protip, that was just an argument of authority to use your nationality like that)

        Learn not to care on the internet and when to stop, it’ll do you a great deal of good.

        And before you cue in your next answer, read the sentence above.

          You want to be right, and read what you want (or you wouldn’t even have answered, among others things), so yes, you’re right.

          Ahh yes, how could anyone not understand such clear and powerful writing… it’s like talking to a Toaist with a concussion.

          I explicitly stated why you’re talking in the air, you really want to be right, while thinking your past justifies any of that eh ?

          I don’t think you understand what explicitly means…

          Protip, that was just an argument of authority to use your nationality like that)

          Lol, it was a rebuttal you idiot. I was confronting your claim that my information was discreditable because my knowledge of a subject is biased by my own research interest. Do you even know about Korean and Japanese history? Or have any idea why a Korean person may have a better understanding about Japanese ethnic conflict?

          Learn not to care on the internet and when to stop, it’ll do you a great deal of good.

          Lol, do you think the equivalent of “I’m rubber your glue” is an actual defensible argument? Or is that just what you do when you get slapped around in an argument?
