1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

My job is hard to explain and has no real terminology for it (which is natural, it is conceptual), which is why you'll see me label it differently depending on when I refer to it, but it's basically the hometown equivalent of how a school might highlight student achievements (and yes, it's highly quasi-official). People come to us often to put it on record that they did something good, an uphill request I might add if society is based on shame. From this position, I've had encounters with a few people who, to put it lightly, if they lived in Japan, they'd be asked to commit a hundred seppukus from the literal atmosphere, often locally ordained, swirling around them. And at least once I was like "this is what I live for", which is also at the same time tragic because what they go through is also the kind of life I live; ironically, for the deed of pointing out the good in these pariahs, on top of that even more shame is accumulated onto me.
