Never heard of it.

I know it may sound crazy, but not everyone is driving around with a phone. That's why you sometimes see updatable signs on highways telling you what AM station to tune into for whatever alert it is they have to issue .

You're right that AM is mostly used by right-wing hatemongers in the US, but they will always find something else. It's not the platform that's the problem.

It's a bit funny to me that this move is coming from Japan. It's been a little more than a decade now, but I used to live in Japan, and good radio stations playing music were all over AM radio when I was there. Maybe it's regional.

It's true that it's largely used for spouting hate in the US. It is also used by transportation departments to share travel warnings, but I doubt that gets a whole lot of usage under normal circumstances.

If AM goes away, the hatemongers will just find another platform.

Where are you that you get shunned for not having tattoos?

I'm also curious how you dress because that can send signals to others about our likely political leanings even when we think we're just dressing generically, and that will also be affected by where you live.

Other way around. Lobbyists for the auto industry want to get rid of AM to save themselves money, but AM is more reliable than FM for emergency alerts (further range, can penetrate buildings).

Hah, guess Google's autocorrect is a prude. Fixed.

Generally no, but I'm not going to be put off by it unless there's something particular to the necklace that I dislike.

hair that leads from the bellybutton to navel

Bellybutton and navel are the same thing. A happy trail leads from there to the pubic region.

Dislike lavender. I once passed through a town that produces a lot of lavender, has a festival for it and everything. It was so awful. Lovely area, though.

Sounds like you're allergic to shrimp.

Not OP, but often, yes.

Popcorn. I hate the smell of popcorn. It permeates everything and takes so long to go away.

Interestingly, I do not dislike eating popcorn. Just the smell.
