The human eye can't tell the difference between 60hz or 120hz

That's incorrect:
https://news.mit.edu/2014/in-the-blink-of-an-eye-0116

"The researchers expected they might see a dramatic decline in performance around 50 milliseconds, because other studies have suggested that it takes at least 50 milliseconds for visual information to flow from the retina to the top of the visual processing chain in the brain and then back down again for further processing by so-called re-entrant loops. These processing loops were believed necessary to confirm identification of a particular scene or object.

However, the MIT team found that although overall performance declined, subjects continued to perform better than chance as the researchers dropped the image exposure time from 80 milliseconds to 53 milliseconds, then 40 milliseconds, then 27, and finally 13 the fastest possible rate with the computer monitor being used. [...]

This new paper shows that the meaning of an image can be extracted even when an image is mixed up in a sequence of six or even 12 images presented at 13 milliseconds per image a rate of about 75 frames a second."

Don't worry lads, the pound in the pocket will be be unaffected by the devaluation of sterling.

Does the MC have amnesia? Or does the MC buy a slave? It's narrowed it down, quite a bit...

I can name 4+ manga that have that exact synopsis, you'll need to narrow it down -- is it Isekai, or based in the real-world....?

That's great, I want to be a stay-at-home dad -- the state can pay for us both!

Wow, that's amazing -- a real life example of the meme:

Wasn't this pretty obvious... since... ya know.... B12, and humans inability to make it, is pretty well known, only reliable way for vegans to get B12 is fortified foods or supplements.

Here are some of the Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency
If you have anaemia caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency, you may have other symptoms, such as:

• a pale yellow tinge to your skin
• a sore and red tongue (glossitis)
• mouth ulcers
• pins and needles (paraesthesia)
• changes in the way that you walk and move around
• disturbed vision
• irritability
• depression
• changes in the way you think, feel and behave
• a decline in your mental abilities, such as memory, understanding and judgement (dementia)

You think I'd be foolish enough for such a blatant keylogger?

It's because of the laws of Copyright, and Trademark in Japan compared to America (and the west):

In America:
"To qualify for trademark protection, a mark must be distinctive, i.e. it cant just be generic or descriptive. Brand names and designs, for example, can be protected by trademark. Generally film titles only describe movies instead of distinguish or identify their source; therefore, they usually dont qualify for trademark registration. However, when a film or a television project is part of a series, the title may qualify. For example film titles such as Star Wars, Kung Fu Panda, Toy Story, or Endless Summer qualify for trademark protection even though the titles may just describe what the movie is about. Now the title is more like a brand. This is the exception rather than the norm with trademarking film titles or television project titles."

Whereas in Japan:
At times, multiple movies or novels have the same title. For example, there are multiple novels written on the life of a woman. Therefore, even if the title is the same as a novel published by another company, it may be used as long as the content of that publication (book) is indicated. However, the title of a movie or a novel cannot be exploited on goods or service without authorization if the title is already registered as a trademark of another goods or service.
https://www.jpo.go.jp/e/news/kokusai/developing/training/textbook/document/index/Copyright_Law.pdf

Since almost all of these LNs become anime, and merchandise the title of the LN cannot be used again.
However to get the original copyright, the title needs to be unique enough, so if the title is not just a single word, then getting the copyright becomes easier.

Why would that be a red flag?

It's from the myth that "men are more visual":

They've got low expectations, which can be a big positive.
However, blood feuds (or as they call them in the South - Gjakmarrja) can be very detrimental.

What do you think?

The man had it for over 17 years! Cut him some slack.

I saw a woman approach this guy, and start cussing him out because he looked like he was staring at her. The gentlemen appeared a little overwhelmed, but I knew ol' Tim, and decided to intervene.
I said "Ma'am, Tim suffers from vision issues."

She looked a bit confused and said "Like Blind, and shit?"

I just nodded my head.

Not seen her, since.

"Junior, you dare?"

Tate doesn't say anything. He just talks and talks and says nothing so many times...that people think he's saying something, like most of these self-help gurus.

As Soyboy means a man with feminine characteristics, the female equivalent would be a woman with many masculine characteristics:

Tomboy (if it's mild), or "Butch" (if it's moderate to extreme)
The term butch tends to denote a degree of masculinity displayed by a female individual beyond what would be considered typical of a tomboy.

Same with food, though, the bacteria found in most food is exactly the same worldwide (from Paris to Tokyo, from Cape Town to Austin), when it should be vastly different (and this is probably the reason our gut microbiome is not very robust in modernity), and also why a meal in Japan, or America, or France is so similar these days (whereas in the past they would have tasted much more different due to the bacteria present) -- this is the danger of globalism, and interconnectedness, and capitalism.

I dreamed about a day before modern history, when ancient aliens attacked Cryptids to gain ownership of the Earth -- and I was a Pharaoh speaking Aramaic trying to calm down the Egyptian Vampires before they returned to the Dimension of Ever-Night as they were the only Cryptids that could fight the Ancient Aliens with us, but they retreated the cowards and shut the Portal.

We tried to fight them, but how do Spears and Axes fight against Nuclear Warheads?
They were fired, first at my glorious temples as an affront to myself, a Living God -- then they attacked the population.

As watched it all I saw blazing fire. Tremendous roars, like the noise of a thousand thunder strikes at once beaten at once, and thousands of fiery wheels, and then the final warhead descended, and the last thing I always remember in my dreams is... "Those cowardly Vampires..."

Because time is relative.

Japan has already made this, the story has been slightly altered to be more modern, and better for Japanese sensibilities:
An artist finds and rescues a mermaid in a sewer. He takes her home with him and she develops sores all over her body that begin to pustulate and bleed. He uses what oozes from her sores to paint her portrait. When he can no longer handle it anymore he breaks down and dismembers her body.

When I imagine America, I imagine Texas. So, I'm going to say that.

What did they call WWII when it was ongoing?

Was it just the war in europe and the war in japan? Trying to remember what they called it in those old news reels I watched...

War World one was called "The Great War", or "The War to end all Wars", but I think WW2 was always referred as such, since we'd already had a first.

Even though it's mostly the same thing, I consider Satay and Peanut butter to be different things.

It's okay in the UK, but not being able to talk while outside except in a whisper can get annoying, or you can face up to a 12 month prison sentence for not being respectful.

Is it hotter to you guys when she has the attitude and ambitions of a child?

I feel like the proper response is either cringe or offputting.

Hey, the 1800s called -- Johannes Justus Rein, a German professor of geography, said the Japanese to be a race of children, harmless, confiding, [...], and inclined at all ages to childish games, easily interested in anything new even to the point of enthusiasm, but when only half acquainted with it (1884) ( https://www.nas.org/academic-questions/35/1/the-great-inquiry-into-national-character )

It's not fine anymore to call a whole race "child-like", it's fucking racist. And it needs to stop.

Wait, surgeries are being canceled because the queen died? What the fuck? So at least a few people will probably die because of a weird forced mourning period.

No, certain surgeries don't happen on Bank Holidays, this is standard procedure and has occurred in the NHS for many years. The Hospitals are still open, and emergency wards are operating as usual.

The Center Parcs thing is the only thing unusual, as they are usually open on Bank Holidays.
