That's because Fukushima is not pouring irradiated water out anywhere. The frozen earth barrier that is supposed to prevent leakage into groundwater is not 100% effective, but the amount of radionuclide transport is low and slow. The reason Fukushima is not in the news is because it is boring. Very small increase in exposure, Fukushima fish regularly tested and back on the market, slow, painstaking and dull process of decommissioning and decontamination underway - it's not exactly going to light up the headlines.

MrBeelzeebubbles comments on Jun 27, 2019:

My brother and I had a pretty fraught relationship growing up, but we were both terrified of my dad. When I was about 7 and he was 10, he was playing golf with a practice ball in the back yard, and I was pretending to be a turtle, crawling around with a clothes basket on my back and the peg bucket on my head, generally getting in his easy and being a pain in the bum. So he thought it would be a good idea to whack the bucket with his golf club. Cue screaming, blood all over my face, a serious egg on my forehead and frantic begging. "Don't tell dad, oh god don't tell dad, please, please don't tell dad..." So I made up a cock and bull story about falling over (I was a clumsy kid, so completely believable), kept shtum and blackmailed my brother into compliance for three months until my big mouthed little sister got wind of the truth and blew the whole gaff. Most rewarding head injury I ever had.

I've had one lass who wanted me to be a lot more dominant than I was really comfortable with - it wasn't that I'm prudish, I just find that sort of gameplay boring. So that only lasted one night. I've also found a lass who really didn't like being orally pleasured, which was... disappointing. She had quite a fleshy labia minora, and was a bit embarrassed about it so didn't like me going down on her, no matter how many times I explained it was absolutely not a problem. But, she was smart, fiesty and hotter than the surface of the sun, so we worked something out.

Maybe tell him you're only interested in a relationship (be it friendship or anything else) based on equality. If he'll read yours, you'll read his. Let's face it, if he's only interested in an unequal relationship, do you want one (of whatever flavour) with him?
