    I use to work as a utility in a hotel near the so called suicide forest for six years. The parking lot at the back that people rarely see (because it's covered in trees and other vegetation) is full of abandoned cars of the people who took their own life in the forest. The size of the parking lot is like 8 or 10 basketball courts. And every November first and second we put sunflower in hood of every abandoned car to pay respect to the the owners. That hotel has already close in 2014.

    As someone who is haft Japanese and has visited, the reason why a lot of windows are just nets is because a ton of people just don't use their air conditioning, so they keep windows open, usually the metal screens aren't enough to keep the bugs out, so some people put nets and whatnot over their screens.

      That's just how it is with the branding-reliant brands, like Gucci, Fendi, Off-White, Balenciaga, etc. People will buy all of their ugly shit just because the name is on it. See Off-White belt, Gucci belt/flip flops, ugly Balenciaga dad sneakers, and Fendi everything. Of course, people are scrambling for those items specifically because of mob mentality (they've seen it a million times on instagram) and anyone who can scrape together $600 or so can get one, but you get my point. Even if it's a monstrous piece of crap like that rainbow tiger pullover, people will still get it because Gucci and there was a song about it. They have the clout of saying it's "the Gucci pullover". With other high-fashion, haute couture stuff, it has to rely on the actual design and craftsmanship of the clothes (Tom Brown, Celine, Rick Owens). These may be names you haven't heard before because they don't rely on obnoxious branding, thus their names don't quite permeate the fashion sphere. Very sad, because there's quite a lot of artistry in the fashion industry people never hear about because they're so repulsed by these massively expensive, elitist doo doo clothes, and rightfully so.

    And at the end, it still amazes me how a building that was abandoned 9 years ago can be so easily accessed, has so many curious things inside and hasn't been completely emptied. There's even electronics and other things. In my country it would be all graffitied, completely barebones and maybe there would be people living inside.

    IH asks; "Why is he still walking around with the small one, if he knows the long one exists?
    Sumet; "He's doin' his best!"
    Cracks me up everytime.
    Also, at the end of it, Sumet asks; "Why did he even need to think about it? She was ready to drop him at the second of a hat."
    What he meant was; "At the drop of a hat" or "In a second", so....we got "at the second of a hat."

I live 5 minutes away from a train station and I pass at least 7 vending machines before reaching the station that just has 6 of them on the outside and not including the ones inside. I think some people technically own some vending machines as one of my neighbors sells fresh fruit and vegetables in his garage and there is a Coca Cola vending machine right next to his shop. I’ve seen him open it with a key, stock cans in there, and collect money. I assume that he technically owns it, but I’m probably wrong about that.

    I like your high fashion theory. But I saw ugly embroidered Gucci rip offs in PacSun over a year ago and people do buy it.

      I don't think the look of those clothes is the selling point. It's just the fact that people can strut around in clothes that cost way too much money. "I bought this ugly ass shirt for $400 and now you know I had $400 to spend on this ugly ass shirt!" They can be any design they want, so long as it's distinct, and just the fact that they are so expensive will draw the rich to them. Then the people who follow the trends set up by the rich, because they themselves want to appear rich, just jump on the bandwagon thinking it will make other people believe they, too, are rich.
      That's the only theory I can come up with that makes any kind of sense. I mean that garish shirt that was shown in the video looks like someone ate a bunch of wool and clothing dye then threw it all up and weaved the result into a shirt. No one looks at that and thinks, "How awesome is that shirt!?" I may also be hopelessly out of touch.

    I actually tried the Sake, sweet potato and Shinshu Apple kitkats a while back
    sake was alright. Sweet potato was really good but the shinshu apple one was horrifyingly accurate in taste.
