Me: bro I think I accidentally joined a gang in Japan.

Friend: WHAT.

Me: I was literally just looking for an umbrella because it started raining.

Friend: okay???

Me: so I enter this tiny shop, no customers, just one old man watching baseball at full volume.

Friend: already sounds suspicious.

Me: I ask him: “Do you sell umbrellas?”

Friend: reasonable question.

Me: old man looks outside dramatically and goes: “…for rain?”

Friend: 😂🤦🙆

Me: BRO I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THAT.

Friend: what did you say.

Me: I panicked and said: “Yes. Usually.”

Friend: LMAOOOO😂

Me: then another guy in suit suddenly appears from back room and asks: “Who sent you?”

Friend: ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Me: I thought maybe bad translation so I said: “…the weather?”

Friend:😂😂😂😂

Me: both men go silent.

Friend: nah you activated side quest dialogue.

Me: old man slowly nods and says: “He’s careful.”

Friend: careful about WHAT???

Me: THEN THEY TAKE ME UPSTAIRS.

Friend: WHY WOULD YOU GO.

Me: because at that point I needed answers.

Friend: no at that point you needed LEGS.

Me: upstairs there’s like seven dudes sitting around one tiny heater eating oranges in silence.

Friend: this is literally Yakuza: Citrus Edition.

Me: one guy moves over and pats floor beside him.

Friend: you sat down didn’t you.

Me: I DIDN’T WANT TO BE RUDE.

Friend: you’re gonna accidentally become regional manager.

Me: eating at Japanese conveyor belt sushi.

everything normal.

then plate beside me disappears, not taken by person.

just… gone, I blink.

plate across from me also vanishes.

salaryman beside me doesn’t react, he keeps eating calmly.

Me: …did you see that.

Salaryman: Yes.

Me: AND??

Salaryman: Happens after 9PM.

BRO WHAT.

I stare at conveyor belt harder now, tiny gap between plates.

movement underneath, something crawling.

chef suddenly yells from kitchen:

Chef: NOT AGAIN.

entire staff sprinting toward conveyor.

small child cheering: Ninja raccoon!

a RACCOON emerges from underneath belt holding sushi in mouth, full speed.

employees chasing it with nets, raccoon leaps over soy sauce expertly, lands beside me.

we lock eyes.

this animal has criminal confidence.

Salaryman slides one tuna plate toward raccoon respectfully.

Salaryman: He likes fatty cuts.

Me: WHY DO YOU KNOW HIM.

Salaryman: We all know him.
raccoon grabs sushi.

then steals waiter’s car keys and disappears into kitchen.

[Chase Passive Income @chasedownleads]

Know a guy who's been in 12 car accidents this year

Insurance companies have paid him $4.9 million

From working less than 2 weeks a year

That's more than many CEOs and professional athletes make

He's hoping to get into 15 or more accidents next year

Passive income is beautiful

Me: accidentally missed last train in Kyoto.

Phone battery: 1%.

hotel: on the opposite side of civilization.

old taxi driver pulls over, I get in.

Driver: Where to?

I show address, his smile disappears immediately.

Driver: ...ah.

never good when elderly Japanese man says “ah” like he just saw prophecy.

we drive in silence for ten minutes.
then he asks: You know story of this area?

Me: No.

Driver: Good.

refuses to elaborate, rain getting heavier, GPS suddenly loses signal.

Driver taps screen aggressively.

Driver: Hm.

Me: What.

Driver: This road appears sometimes.

Me: ...sometimes?

Driver: Japan has many mysteries.

I start calculating if walking in thunderstorm is safer.

finally we reach tiny apartment building in middle of nowhere, i pay him.

before leaving he leans closer and says: If woman in white asks for directions tonight.

Me: ...yes?

Driver: Give wrong directions.

then drives away into rain like retired anime character.

Exclusive investigation reveals security gaps and organized crime at Toronto airport: ‘You could walk out carrying a cruise missile’

@github holy shit, how did the attackers find a large enough uptime window to get in?

[Shazi @ShaziGoalie]

WAIT… WHAT? 🇨🇦

CTV says innocent Canadians are allegedly having their luggage tags swapped at Pearson Airport… then unknowingly flying suitcases filled with drugs to countries where trafficking can carry the DEATH PENALTY.

One woman was detained for 7 hours after border agents found 45 lbs of meth inside a suitcase tagged with her name.

RCMP has already arrested multiple Pearson baggage/ramp workers connected to tag switching.

@drgurner @Watchdog_MP @TorontoPearson Yep, I always travel with only a carry-on and I try not to let it out of my sight.

[Chris Ryan @Watchdog_MP]

🚨 CANADIAN TRAVELERS: YOUR LIFE IS AT RISK 🧳 ✈️

Innocent Canadians are landing abroad and getting ARRESTED for drug smuggling… because airport insiders at @TorontoPearson are switching their luggage tags onto suitcases full of cocaine.

CTV W5 exclusive: At least 17 victims in one year. Destinations include countries where drug smuggling can mean the DEATH PENALTY.

This is the tip of the iceberg.

How is this happening inside our airports? Could it have anything to do with the airport being staffed by majority foreigners? Arrests of baggage handlers aren’t enough. First a gold heist now this! Security must be fixed NOW.

Tag everyone you know who flies.

This could happen to ANYONE. 🇨🇦

May Long Weekend in Canada:

[Nav Toor @heynavtoor]

THIS GUY BUILT AN ENTIRE WIKIPEDIA THAT IS 100% AI HALLUCINATIONS AND IT'S OPEN SOURCE ON GITHUB

it's called Halupedia.

nothing on the site existed before you clicked. every article was generated the second you arrived.

the site has one rule: the universe only exists when you visit it.

it looks exactly like wikipedia. same fonts. same layout. same scholarly citations. same "stumble" button for random articles.

the only difference is none of it is real.

here are some actual articles currently in the encyclopedia:

> the great pigeon census of 1887
> the ministry of slightly wrong maps
> chaldic arithmetic — a branch of mathematics where subtraction is forbidden
> armund the river mapper — a cartographer who mapped 14,000 leagues of river without leaving his chair
> the society for the prevention of unnecessary tuesdays

every article page also tells you how many people are reading it right now. it says: "you alone are consulting this folio at present."

the creator's own tagline for the site is the most unhinged sentence i've read this year:

"an encyclopedia of a universe that does not exist until you visit it"

the entire backend is a single open source repo called vibeserver. one guy. one description on github: "a little webserver making things up just in time."

we built the largest knowledge base in human history and the very first thing a guy did with it was make a hallucinated mirror universe and put it on the open web.

the internet is healing.

FORZA HORIZON 6 LEAKED 10 DAYS EARLY AND MICROSOFT IS TO BLAME

Someone forgot to encrypt the preload on Steam.
The full game - all 155GB - is now freely available on piracy sites before a single paying customer has touched it.

-> The leak happened because files were uploaded to Steam completely unencrypted
-> 155GB of assets, cars, map data - everything is out there right now
-> This is the SECOND time this year a AAA game leaked this way (Death Stranding 2 in March)
-> FH6 doesn't release until May 19 - pirates have a 10-day head start on buyers

Valve or Microsoft need to explain how this keeps happening.
