"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Well that's an additional valid reason, but I still say the USA and Japan both would've suffered mrore casualities before an unconditional surrender by Japan would've happened. Also along the lines of what you said about Russia, the USA had to fill some role of protecting Japanese from revengeful Chinese after their surrendor. Point is dropping the A-bombs wasn't necesarily the bad thing that some people make it out to be and the reason for them to support their claims that the US is always the villian.
It's war dumbass. You kill the other side and you win.
