He's actually the newest arrival in my most recent town. Picked him up from the void of a friend's town. I kind of like him.

Yes. To be honest, I... legitimately don't recall when me and my girlfriend got together. Definitely around 5-ish years. Maybe more. Things just kind of happened, and we've never been big on things like anniversaries to bother keeping track of the date.

My native tongue is Japanese. However, I'm entirely fluent in English. In fact, I make most of my income by writing articles in English. I'd hazard that I understand the language better than the vast majority of native English speakers.

Ah... yeah. Family always has to make things more complicated, doesn't it? Even when you really want to, you can't stop caring about their own situations...

If it started acting up after your sister damaged it, then... yes, obviously she's at fault and should be held accountable for the repair/replacement cost. I'm not sure why that's even a question. Just because it didn't break in two or have the screen shatter doesn't mean her actions didn't...

Emma Watson. No contest. She is by far the yummiest celebrity I can think of.

Alright, this kind of needs to be said... do you know why real taxis cost more than an Uber driver? Because taxis actually have to follow things like safety laws. Their drivers have to have special licenses, their cars have to be rigorously maintained, and they also have to make enough per fare...

I do most of my work from home. I'm a freelance writer for lots of websites and magazines. Used to do newspapers, too, but that industry is dead as can be.

Hatred and bigotry being defeated is always good in my book.

I'm already stuck at around 13. Medical condition that basically amounts to a stunted puberty. I've looked identical to how I looked at 13 for nearly 20 years now. I even still fit in my middle school uniforms. I guess one perk is that I often get the child prices at movies and theme parks?

Because most of the time when I eat out, I do so with my girlfriend? It's not exactly rocket science, figuring out when two people are a couple. And when a server is doing things like being dismissive of complaints, intentionally avoiding our table while everyone else in the section gets regular...

If you have money to burn, sure. But let's take an example of someone living paycheck to paycheck. They get paid tomorrow, and have $50 spare in their budget this week. Hey, they could go out to eat and have a nice meal! But, oh wait. You and the tip police say they're not allowed to actually...

Essentially, restaurants argue people are going to tip anyway, so the tips should be considered the server's official income. Then they go on about how having to actually pay their staff would be higher prices for customers. So since this tipping=expected mindset is so entrenched in US culture...

Anime. Pocky. Ninjas. My culture made all the cool stuff. Sorry we didn't leave any for the rest of you.

How kind of you to tell other people how to live their lives and spend their money. I'm sure that attitude went over super well with the people you served. Maybe that's why you kept getting crappy tips.
