How Would Japan Have Fared in a Fight, Had the US Landed on Mainland Japan in WW2?
Imagine for a moment, the cataclysmic collision that never came to pass—an American invasion of mainland Japan in late 1945. It’s a chapter of history we narrowly avoided, but the shadow of what might have been lingers ominously. How would Japan have fared? To put it bluntly: Japan would have lost, and it would have been a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions for both sides. The ferocity of such a conflict could have scorched the very essence of Japanese culture, leaving ruins in its wake.
“I am 65, male, and a virgin.”
I know that this will sound like an “incel”/”nice guy” rant (is that what they call it nowadays?), but I guarantee you that it isn’t. I look decent for my age, am physically fit, I am very social (I go to different meetups 2-3 times per week plus golfing with my buddies on weekends), have put in a lot of effort into dating, and have a lot of hobbies. I do woodworking crafts, I love to read, I golf, and am very active politically. I have worked on the campaigns for several congressmen and senators in my area. On weekends, I volunteer at an animal shelter or a local VA hospital. My friends would describe me as a very amiable, social person. I have probably asked out about 50+ women throughout my life, in real life or on dating sites.
The “Good Ol’ Days” are Bullshit
Look, we all do it. We sit around and reminisce about how great things used to be. How everything was simpler, people were kinder, and the world just made more damn sense. But here’s the thing: it’s all bullshit.

Questions and Answers For Couples Sitting On The Fence of Parenthood
Q: Will it make me fulfilled?
A: Ummm sometimes? Honestly, the first year of her life, I felt less fulfilled than I ever have because I was spending most of my time taking care of a tiny baby that couldn’t talk or interact in a way that was interesting to me, and it meant that I couldn’t do things that really DO make me fulfilled, like writing and creating. Now that she’s almost 3, I have a lot more moments where I feel proud or amused or loving toward her, but to be honest, I don’t feel fulfilled by our relationship. It’s something different.

“My mom (60) has no retirement plan or money and is banking on me and wife to take care of her”
I’ll begin this story with gassing up my mom. She is a wonderful kind and caring woman. She single handily took care of my brother and I before my dad reentered the picture when I was 9-10. She is a small business owner and has her demons with spending/not saving for retirement/mental health issues. That being said she is extremely extra. She can be very needy, manipulative, emotional and doesn’t deal even remotely well with confrontation or disagreements.
