I'm really sorry for your financial losses. It takes a big heart to still be able to be thinking of others during that; and I hope you can get at least some things recouped.
(recouped is the right word, right? Or like, compensated?)

We've had break-ins before, so losing money to damages is kind-of a Cost Of Doing Business In Chicago thing. Generally, they're smash-and-grabs, where they got less money than we spend repairing the damaged door. (There was a point a couple years ago where it happened three times in a month, and we were seriously thinking of just leaving a hundred bucks outside the front door, so we wouldn't have to pay a grand to fix the door.) This was our first looting, though, so that's new. We've started the process with the insurance company, so we'll see where that all goes. It's a tricky situation, since it's not completely safe to go back to that store. Kind-of a big ol' question mark as to whether or not the damage is done, or just paused. Still, democracy's messy, right? It's just stuff. Some things are more important than stuff.

What happened to George Floyd was horrific, but what does rioting accomplish? Another person is already dead, more injured, business and homes destroyed. Does that bring him back? Does it stop it from happening again? People are animals and they'll use any excuse to act like it. |

You disagree that destroying innocent people's livelihoods is a bad thing?

So, they decide to choose some random kid who’s become an Orphnoch. That kid, I’m just going to call him Kouhai (since Kaido’s Sempai), isn’t doing great. He’s a monster, and he wants to die. He needs help understanding what it means to be a grey monster, and for better or worse he’s got Kaido to lead him.
Kageyama always looks good; I definitely had a bit of a crush on her when I first watched the series. It's a real shame that there's so little known about the actress who played her. She's credited only by her first name, "Waka," and as near as I can tell the Rider fandom knows nothing else about her: she did this show and then basically disappeared, as far as I can tell.

So the Bunny Orphnoch, who probably has a human name, is played by an actor named Masato Uchiyama. He was an actor who did a lot of tokusatsu roles in the mid-00s. You will be seeing a lot more of him later this year when you go through Kamen Rider Kabuto, where he has a major recurring role. Before that, though, he played the human host for Ultraman Nexus in the second part of that series (up through the part where the final story arc got condensed down into two episodes because the show was cancelled for being too weird).
I thought that kid was pretty fun for what little he was asked to. He just has to look at Kaido as a heroic source of ageless wisdom, and Kaido pretty much takes it from there. It's a good comedy duo.

Now if you excuse me, I'm going back to lurking and occasionally popping up to make a post or two. |

The nation and world are going through a huge moment right now, and while the gut instinct we all have is to discuss it wherever we can, this is not the place. Our rules specifically forbid discussion of politics and related issues. So I'm going to ask that this thread get back on track immediately, or infractions will be issued to all those who continue the discussion beyond this post.
