I think foreign men in particular would not be good targets because of all the built up rage from bad marriages, micro-discrimination on a daily basis, miserable commutes and poor job prospects. It is like picking a pimple that is ready to blow anyways

Thanks for the chuckle of the day

In a pandemic, times get tough, and social norms start to break down, it seems

Recreational drugs are used by almost every part of society. Home parties with cocktails, beer for dinner, Shochu at the izakaya

I'm happy that we are not forced as much to experience Christmas as when in my birth country Britain.
