I use a couple of subreddits specific to Japan because that’s where the knowledge is for legal, visa, financial, DIY, etc. advice and people refuse to move over. I technically have a bluesky which I haven’t updated in around a year (it’s for business purposes anyway). I also have a linkedin for job purposes. All other social media (FB, insta, twitter, tiktok, whateverTheKidsUseTheseDays) I either never had, deactivated, or fully deleted my account years ago.

Edit: some people are mentioning YouTube. I don’t really consider it social media, but I do use it if that counts. I try to watch more Nebula, though.

It only bothered me because I saw that it was a school assignment and I thought it would be to a higher standard. In casual speech, I don’t really care unless the meaning is unclear.

I don’t knowingly use AI at all in my person life and projects (I say ‘knowingly’ since many products have it shoved inside now, but I disable all I see). At work, we have AI code reviews which, as a concept, I think is fine and useful.

Probably the Switch. It’s … fine, I guess? NES? Awsome. SNES? fantastic. GB? amazing for its time. Genesis was killer. Atari 2600 was huge in its day. The switch? Meh.

It doesn’t help that I’m generally unhappy with nintendo being a bunch of greedy fucks as I see it.

This is why I don’t use it for coding at all.

Shouldn’t it be ‘after having been together’?

What is ‘at the same time’ referring to in that sentence? They wanted to break up at the same time (as in both had the idea)? They wanted to break up at the same time on the clock to continue the theme of things being same-y?

The boy is due north of what? The place? The girl? Also, the girl should be wondering about her decision, I think.

(I don’t even speak English every day anymore, so I could be wrong).

I don’t like talking (edit: aloud, to be clear) that much, in person or otherwise, so I like data modes.

I would love to have no-till going, but it’s also not reasonable for me. Actual mulch is uncommon in Japan and cardboard just blows away in my area (even with 15-20cm long U-shaped staples in multiple places per piece and on joints; it be windy here). Do what you can now and don’t worry about not being the best or perfect.

This is my experience as well. These days, fewer than 4 spaces is downright unreadable to my aging eyes.

I used to walk by that building quite a bit. Place creeps me out (not for any supernatural reasons).

I was scrolling through the comments before posting about it, heh. I used to sing it at karaoke quite a bit.

Destillat is good in both versions, I think, but I definitely prefer the Das Ich version.

I think it’s differently good but still prefer the original. I think there’s something more compelling in the arrangement and orchestration of the original.

Wages have also mostly not kept up with inflation that went nuts starting around Covid times. Some companies have been doing raises, but a lot haven’t been able to keep up with inflation.

I got noro when I was around 20 from food at a family gathering. I ended up in hospital on fluids because I could not drink anything and was vomiting at least once an hour and had diarrhea several times a day. I was so weak I could hardly move.

I do not use AI in my personal life at all (unless some program I use jams it in somewhere and I haven’t noticed yet to disable it or discontinue use).

If I have medical concerns, I talk to my doctor. If I search anything before/after, I only do so on actual reputable sites (e.g. mayo clinic, etc.)

I’ll open a bottle of something nice when this happens, along with doing a happy dance, but I think that cork is staying put for now.

my wife: short-form video (mostly insta reels, I think).

me: language learning app or ebook.

I wear big, obvious headphones most of the time I’m anywhere in public. This usually helps to prevent people talking to me. Less of a problem here in Japan in general, though, which I like.

I was originally thinking of grabbing parts as they go on sale finally (this PC is from 2018ish, I think, and I guess I could upgrade some bits), but I think I’m just going to wait and get a laptop. In part because I do less gaming, the gaming is less intense, and I’m thinking about trying to spend part of the year living outside of Japan which would make the logistics of shipping a heavy full tower around (or even mid if I downsized) just too much of a headache. Still not 100% sure, though.
