  • I know that Japan has been that way for an extremely long time, so South Korea (which, despite what they would like to admit, shares a great deal in common with Japan) is the same way. Maybe I’m a bit biased because I have never thought about having a family, nor am I in anyway interested in having one, so I don’t really put a lot of thought into “would this be a nice place to live _ with my family_?”

    Nonetheless, culturally ingrained attributes to any country can be extremely difficult to change, even in a long-term. Europe, especially northern Europe, has the best quality of life in the world. Most of the rest of the Europe has started to follow suit (until recently). If I could move anywhere right now, it would be either back to New York, or two, possibly, Sweden or Germany. Although, I admit, the ladder is starting to give me pause recently with the rise of the AfD.

    Why my loyalty, for now, lies with the USA, I’m also disabled and queer. Our government and too many of the people here are hostile to such things, and becoming worse every day.

    The real shame is that I don’t have a marketable job that I can use as a bargaining chip for ex patriation. Although, I hear that Sweden has a lot of ways to work around there, rather Stern immigration roles.

    Perhaps it’s time to look back into that, since the last time I heard about it was about 15 years ago. Still…

  • To hell with a legal requirement. That shit isn’t even bourbon. Even Jack Daniels distillery, themselves, insist that it isn’t bourbon. (Yes, I know the law, but the law is wrong.)

    It doesn’t get to become bourbon based off of some silly technicality in the law.

    “Bourbon-style corn drink”, maybe. Or “caramel-flavored moon juice”.

  • At the same time, you’re hearing about countries like South Korea and Japan, and a handful of others, actually offering money for people to immigrate to their country. I suspect that, like in United States, some other countries are just so depressing, that no one wants to have a family there, while, as you mentioned, others are leaving.

    Although, I’ve never thought of South Korea nor Japan as somewhere I wouldn’t want to live. Then again, I’m not interested in raising the family here, either.

  • This reminds me of when practically every bar in NYC pulled Bulleit off the shelves after it was revealed that the owner of the distillery was some homophobic asshole.

    Even now, there are a lot of bars in NYC that refused to carry it.

    That’s why I developed an appreciation for Jim Beam. Less expensive, and I like it better.

    And fuck Jack Daniels. They stole the recipe from Jim Beam and ran over the river into Tennessee and started their own distillery. That shit isn’t even bourbon.

  • This update is nothing short of awesome.
