I really need to switch to Unix already. I have absolutely had it with them.

Oh! I misread you, my apologies. Yes, they have to be so much more selective.

The JSA complains about recruitment falling, so perhaps they will raise the limit to 2 eventually.

Vinny just sent me this. We talked about the case yesterday and were rather confused how Costco could be responsible for customers misapprehension about suppliers. But I finally get it now, thanks!

It almost seems they're suing Costco, etc. because they can't sue dupe culture.

Someone who gets 6-7 wins in Jonokuchi would be a great prospect, though?

I have been thinking for a while that there's a need for content like this. There's so much demand for videos for the heyas with their own channels, so that kind of window into the other heya would be great.

Sumo Prime Time style PLUS more of the everyday, talk to the junior rikishi, etc.

I would definitely watch that! I really want to learn more about past Yokozuna and the origins of sumo.

I would definitely watch interviews or profiles of Makushita wrestlers! There's so much talent there.

I would love to see translations of interviews with rikishi if available, especially those jungyo interviews.

The mawashi they wear is based on over a thousand years of history based on a religious Shinto ritual. It allows you to see their physiques and strength during the match and originated at a time we weren't as puritan about nudity.

Don't be disrespectful.

You would also have to exercise for several hours a day, as sumo wrestlers are mostly muscle and have the same body fat percentage as the average Japanese person. They're quite impressive and it's a great way to escape this toxic mess.

I believe Kotoōshū was the first European to win the Emperor's Cup, but yes, Baruto and Tochinoshin. But is he trying to say Yokozuna? It's a strange way to phrase it and a weird thing to write when Aonishki is nowhere near contending for the rank.

Do you not understand the difference between generalizing people by their self-professed ideology and generalizing people by their gender, race, religion, etc?

I have a hard time believing you don't. Are you arguing just to argue at this point? I can't imagine that's a good use of your time.

Considering it was founded 100 years after our country, that's especially impressive!
