Vote or Die I voted today! I was 17 during the last election, so this was the first time I've been able to vote. I hope all you other young Americans voted too! Actually, I don't. I really don't care if you voted or not. I don't know why everyone pressures us to vote. Why not leave the voting to the people that care?

This Woman's Work I feel weak and tired, like I have nothing left to give. All I want to do right now is crawl into bed, go to sleep, and never wake up again. All day long I was forced to deal with people and I wished I could just hide somewhere alone instead. I was close to walking out on my job thanks to the old man, but the voice of reason in my head kept me from doing anything reckless.

If these people can't figure out the simple and obvious story to the video, then that is their problem and they should stop complaining about it. What makes it worse is that these comments are coming from the same group of people who love Hikki's Japanese videos. If these people
