Eh, Ignore idiots like this facebook guy. They'll live their whole pathetic lives without achieving success, and he'll never advance beyond middle management. Eventually he'll have children that grow up to hate and resent him, and those children will see that pathetic bigotry for what it is: Cries of desperation from a man who has no fucking idea what it means to be alive.

EDIT: I mean seriously, the guy only has 111 friends. That's hilariously sad by normal facebook standards.

As I'm not on fagbook myself I seriously hope you're kidding.

I signed up for the site when it was college-only back in 2005, and I now have ~200 friends. Keep in mind I'm very conservative about who I add.

Most people I know that have even moderately decent social lives have 300+ friends.

A kid (like the idiot above) that graduated high school in 2010, based on his generation's level of connected-ness and vanity, should have WAY more than 111 friends.

This means that pretty much nobody likes him.

I'm seriously thinking of going to Sendai and giving them a hand, maybe they could use a trilingual well-intended smart-arse

I just can't find a website on how to volunteer... anyone seen anything on the news about it yet?

Just about to review earlier pages in this thread to see when you had checked in. Good to read you, Lira.

Any bet that Lira's first thought when the earth began to shake was "Cool, it's Godzilla!".

Unfortunately, I'd stay well clear. No Shinkansen, and highway is closed. And even if you got there, there'd be too much redtape before you could get involved, esepcially if you don't know the area. But I completely understand how you feel. Just feel so helpless.

Volcano resumes eruption in Southern Japan

Also, looking for a new IAEA pronouncement stating that things are worse than previously revealed. Much worse.

IAEA?

International Atomic Energy Agency

Except for the Godzilla bit, that's exactly what I said out loud

Yeah... I did some research and was eventually talked out of it. Meh...

I was talking about this yesterday with my family, can't believe it actually happened. It will get even worse is Mt. Fuji wakes up, now they will have much bigger problems.

Yeah apparently they already have 100,000 troops en route to the Sendai and the surrounding towns. Not to mention all other departments sending people up there.

Were there many deaths as a direct result of the earthquake?

As far as I remember, no, not really. The roof of a supermarket fell on a kid, some old guy had a heart attack, and so on. Outside the prefectures that were hit by the tsunami, there are just a dozen or so deaths.

Quite a few because of the falling debris and collapsed buildings. It's going up all the time, at least according to NHK.

^^^^^

Thing is, these houses aren't little shacks like you'd find in shanty towns. It looks like the place has been bombed.

You sure? I just watched NHK and the numbers are high only in Miyagi/Iwate/Fukushima, exactly where the tsunami hit

I'm not keeping track of what-killed-whom any more, so I reserve the right to be mistaken here...

Sat in the 7th floor of the library at uni, I just watched a Japanese guy walk up to the window and cry silently as he watched the sun setting...

Jesus the sounds of ultimate fear in those people's voices

all of this is so hard to phathom from a weather nerd's standpoint. i'm always used to seeing such destruction caused by a weather disaster. the fact that it was sunny outside and just seeing the disaster unfold as a force of Geology and not Meteorology...blows my mind. that video of the earth opening up....man...so wicked.

this is the type of shit you see after tornadoes and hurricanes. i feel for those people...at least with weather you can see the conditions coming towards you and you know it's going to be a shit day. these people had no real heads up or warning. absolutely horrible
