Wait Toyota denotes to Republicans? Aren't they Japanese?

You're trolling.

I mean they literally said there were no good guys, no? It was bad people and worse people.

I mean imagine banning the second biggest party in your own country. They're not a fringe group you can just ban and call it a day.

Not American so this might be a stupid question, but does anyone actually say that? The French have serious islamophobia issues, but I don't know anyone who would call them weak.

No? The Spain's heyday was a completely different time period from France and Britain's, and during the Napoleonic wars France was first place and lost on foreign policy.

Okay as a Muslim many things about Christianity now make a lot more sense.

ivxferre is right, so I'll just state of a few examples:

Baito, which in fact comes from the German arbeit and means a part time job.

Apiiru, which comes from the English appeal but actually means to emphasize or play up something as a way of making yourself more attractive or making a point. For example, you can say "He looks like a good guy but that's all apiiru".

Cureemu, which is supposed to be the English claim but refers to complaints or having an issue with something in general.

So, about honorifics: Whether they'll actually correspond to keigo is a hit and miss depending on the actual relationship between the characters. This happens for a few reasons, but the most important one is that in Japanese using an honorific other than san or sama (or not using one at all) is a declaration of either a large difference in status, a close relationship or shonen protagonist syndrome. It's more complicated in real life, but this is how it usually goes in anime. So anyway, one common example is that highschooler characters will usually address each other with san even though they never use keigo.

About #4, where do you even see TN nowadays? I'm pretty sure I haven't seen one in years.

As another guy who finds life easier with CCs (suspected audio processing issues + not a native speaker): Holy fuck this sounds terrifying. Both in a "what the fuck are you idiots doing" sense and in because having your perception of reality (or "reality" in this case) distorted by dumbasses on a keyboard is actually a scary idea. What are they even thinking?

I legitimately have no clue what the state department is doing or thinks it's doing.

Pretty sure the state department actually objected to Biden's encouraging of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. It's just that Biden and Blinken are true believers here. It's not about US interests or geopolitics or any of that stuff; they just want to see a greater Israel from the river to the sea.
