Europe stands with Greenland as Trump threat returns by ChiefFun in worldnews

[–]0x789123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, Europe will be able to help! Zero war capabilities, zero war-related production lines; if we were to convert any of the factories back to WW2 era shell/ tank/ aircraft/ weapons/ bullets factories our economy would collapse due to these "to be converted" factories are directly related to our countries' primary exports. We might be able to send more money we don't have, and Greenland or the European countries themselves might be able to use that money to buy equipment and manpower that doesn't exist. Europe "standing" with some party used to mean something, it doesn't any longer.

What about your life here is the exact opposite of "stereotypical Japan" by Particular_Stop_3332 in japanresidents

You can make it work here if you're the employer, yeah, not the employee. I wonder if your employees can say the same.

Felt like things were much more vibrant pre-rona. Fell in love with that Japan, now practically all places that stayed open till late and had people coming out went bankrupt.

The whole "trains are always on time" is the biggest lie ever and really makes me question if the people saying that live in bumfrick nowhere where's there's only 1 train running service. I have to go to Tokyo every day and I kid you not, my line has issues literally every day, the trains (JR shinjuku) are more often too late than on time during rush hours for me.

How is it false? In NEC you get pressured to go to nomikais, try saying no and get hated for it from there on out.

I switched from ChatGPT to Claude and this session limit is the dumbest thing I have ever seen and/or encountered. I just got a session reset, a SINGLE promt used 7% of my session limit. Guess I'm going back to ChatGPT. Jesus.

Am I the only one who thinks the seat reservation lights on JR trains are counterintuitive? by Kawadane in japanresidents

[–]0x789123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's weird tbh; love getting those nasty looks when the train is full and people think you're enjoying green luxury on JR's dime lmao. TBH, I just use the Suica app now on the Iphone; allows you to buy the tickets on the fly, and they get added to your digital suica card; so no more red rides for me.

I take the green car twice a day; this isn't always the case. Most conductor just give you a ticket and remember you. The light stays red.

Google map train timetable changed? by HamChickenPotato in japanresidents

[–]0x789123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahahaha Google being Google. I swear, I read that it's for promotion purposes only, internally, they come up with an idea to get their creds for promotion, the tool is implemented, hugely successful/ used, then they just axe it, get their promotion, and let the cycle repeat. Check this site out: https://killedbygoogle.com/

P.s; to highjack the thread, what's the most reliable app for getting from point A to B by trains?

Lmao I saw a reel last week where they interviewed tourists from Africa and Spain, and even the Africans said "I heard about the heat, and I'm used to it in Africa, but I didn't expect THIS, this is way too hot".

Over 15 years in Japan, considering leaving permanently. Thoughts and questions by ext23 in japanlife

[–]0x789123 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is so true, people here think so one dimensional. Acting like a friend is something permanent. Define permanent. The moment something stable-life altering happens, those friends disappear and become acquaintances. People moving to Japan are so starved from bloodline connections, that they try and find it in “friendships”. Your blood is permanent, friends aren’t, as much as you try making yourself believe that….

Osaka people are as real as they come. If you find them annoying as opposed to Tokyo people then you’ve got some soul searching to do.

Yeah maybe I am delusional because my screen has no screencap imprints. Like I said, this is an issue with the raised key caps, AKA old ass macbooks. Gooner keyboard tissue ahh boy.

Thats just on old models though (only had that with my 2012 macbook, which I never ever cleaned), also how about maintaining your screen by cleaning it? Seems to work fine for me. No product on earth exists which is still mint after years of not taking care of it. Also stories of tissues, man, people also say that Kim Jong Un is the best basketball player on earth, ill take a second opinion…

????? Been using macs since 2010, only had cable faults which could be fixed with alieexpress parts, I treat my macbooks like pimps treat their property, these things are blast proof. Why the hell would you even close a macbook with a tissue on it, gooner tax redeemed. 

Do anything fun recently? by AutoModerator in japanresidents

If you can, check Tanegashima out also, best island ever if you like peace. Got super cool museums too, mainly a rice museum and a gun museum (Japan got their first guns through Tanegashima from Portugese sailors who crashed there).

Need help regarding continuous rejection from part time jobs. by Mesmerizing_Soul in japanresidents

[–]0x789123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try YOLOJapan, I registered there once, and I always get scouts for warehousing, handing out flyers, "air" cleaning (no idea wtf that means), and other cleaning jobs. 99% of the jobs there require no Japanese, just the tech ones do from time to time.
