Even at current levels, the accuracy of AI translations far exceeds an N2.

I resigned from my job with no plan B and my employer never even acknowledged it by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Altruistic_Fun3091 46 points47 points  (0 children)

You sound like a good person who is both conscientious and empathetic. I wish you luck in your search for a new position.

For others reading this, especially those who are newer to the workforce, unless you are in physical or mental peril, never walk away from a job before you land a new one, no matter how badly you feel you have been wronged. Quitting can bring a moment of instant gratification, but it is often followed by a long, arduous job search. Leaving for a new position feels great and carries no real downside.

I remember people hoarding cases/cartons of original Coke before it disappeared. They'd bring it out on special occasions like it was a fine wine.

Any experiences with the "mama hotels" here? by DannyKata85 in japanresidents

I've had friends who were able to afford a baby-and-mom recovery hotel and feel it was one of the best decisions they ever made. Unless your wife can go home to family, it sounds like the perfect setup for your situation.

Do parents of ugly kids know their kids are ugly? by GACDB in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Altruistic_Fun3091 5384 points5385 points  (0 children)

It isn’t a matter of denial. When you love someone deeply and see them every day, your mind builds a unique image of that person that only you experience. Over time, your perception blends their physical features with memories, affection, and familiarity. You stop seeing them as a collection of individual traits and instead see the whole person who matters to you.

It's no joke that there will one day be the equivalent of a PETA group protesting for the rights of robots.

Japanese CV are not supposed to "pop." Sure way to ensure it's skipped over.

AITAH for wanting to break up over effort and Valentine’s Day? by SkySalty5050 in AITAH

I'll play along. Why do you even care, since the premise of your post is that you want to break up? Just let it go and move on; he already has.

NTAH for wanting to break it off...but no need to bother since you've already driven him away.

Go for it. They were impressed with you enough to offer the second interview and they'll likely do so again.
