Fuck this company.

They’ve been awful for many, many years at this point. I’ve no idea why people keep giving them money and expecting them to not be awful.

I’m in my 40s and I’m with them. Movies can be cool, but I tend to like an interactive experience more.

I don’t disagree, but the majority of Japanese are just using whichever device is in their pocket (largely iPhones or Android, some feature phones, the occasional tablet, and much more rarely (outside of official business work), an actual full-sized computer).

We basically have this in Japan. People will put their bike back to factory for the inspection and then change it out. They get caught rarely, but not often. loud-assed 暴走族 (bousouzoku) groups love to ride around in the countryside where I live and I can hear them from quite far. I really wish the police would do something about them.

there is literally no correct answer

I deleted mine years ago but, in Japan, it’s still one of the main ways small shops communicate with their customers. Some use FB or insta instead. They don’t have the knowledge, money, or desire to create a whole website that is far more difficult to interact with and update than the platforms that are free, people use, and are easy to update.

I remember a few snippets. Hatchet in fifth grade. The outsiders at some point. High school English is mostly blank until senio year at a new school. We did a whole thing on middle English and Chaucer which is probably why I remember.

Absolutely. I keep meaning to try that but always forget until I’m already making coffee

I appreciate the answer (iced coffee is really popular here in Japan). I was mostly poking fun at how someone would make coffee out of ice (like ice tea – isn’t that just cold water steeped in other water?)

Ice coffee sounds difficult to make. Do I have to roast the ice first? Should I go for a light roast or dark on it?

Not in my country!

(Seriously, though, Japan doesn’t do joint bank accounts).

Maybe they’re leaving room for improvement?

6 is my personal favorite, though I’ve not played them all. I enjoyed the MMOs for a while, but haven’t played any single-player game newer than 7 back on playstation. I did buy JP 2 or 3 that wasn’t released in the US, but I just never had time to mess with it. I always think about playing a newer one, but the lack of time to devote to it generally stops me (and, if it requires a console, that’s probably not going to work since I only have PC and a switch).

Are overseas uni students allowed to work? That might be it. I never looked at UK visas to know the rules on that one.

The only time I ever liked plain milk was still warm out of the cow. These days, I just don’t drink milk except for a very rare (couple of times a year) chocolate milk or milkshake where I don’t taste the milk itself, really.

Breed and diet definitely impact milk flavor and fat percentage, but some types of pasteurization seem to as well.

This is not an endorsement to drink milk that has not been pasteurized.

Aside from that, particularly with regard to colostrum, some people think treating the milk can damage things. As mentioned, I’m not a milk drinker to begin with, but I have no idea if (a) there are any studies showing benefits or even effects of drinking colostrum, particularly as an adult and from something other than a human or (b) regardless of point a if there is even any study on heat damaging it. I watch a lot of farming/homesteading content and some people are really into this.

“farewell” and “last date ever”, they always say. As soon as the money runs out… BAM! Time for another tour.

I somehow flipped over one of the bars and bashed my head on the deck (wooden on ours rather than metal) when I was around 6 or 7 years old. No stitches, though I don’t see any noticeable scar. I don’t remember much aside from seeing blood and a headache.

I have an LG with WebOS and have youtube premium and haven’t seen any ads so far (though it may be regional). Cheers for the link, tough. I wonder if it works on Japanese versions

You realize that birth control, plan B, and abortions are very much a thing here, right? These “we need them to drink so we can impregnate them” posts always creep me out a bit.

Japan? Liberal Paradise? Since when???

My thoughts exactly. It is left of the US on a few things like social safety net and healthcare, but mostly the same (which, compared to much of the western world is still quite far to the right).

hating of foreigners, especially gaijin

Wat? What do you think that word means?

would be fairly ostracized unless they spoke perfect Japanese.

Source?

There are growing trends in the youth, but their conservative patriarchy is still holding strong for now.

Getting them to vote would help. Obviously anecdotal, but a lot of young adults I knew didn’t vote.

I’m from the US and have been living in Japan almost a decade. I don’t speak perfect Japanese by any stretch, but I can generally handle myself unless we get into certain medical jargon or legalese. I own a house and a small farm. Your premise on being ostracized is false, however; racists gonna racist so policies or people that exclude others aren’t generally going to give a shit if the person speaks flawless Japanese. On the other hand, I think the internet has a kinda warped view of what living here is like and how foreigners are treated. There is racism, particularly in trying to get an apartment. I’ve also been treated like a normal person more than I’ve ever been treated like some outside or zoo exhibition.

We definitely have issues with alcoholism here. I think part of it is that a ton of small businesses (as well as larger ones) are ones that survive on alcohol revenue. I remember when I lived in the US, a lot of bars and breweries would fight legalization claiming it would hurt their business. I think they are stuck in the mindset that no one will leave the house or something, but that’s just speculation on my part.
