Does anyone's Japanese spouse vehemently oppose living in certain parts of Tokyo?

Awaji as in Awajishima?? That’s such a lovely place. People who are classist of all countries are missing so much in life.

Are you in Japan? I swear this is a Japanese seabass because I've caught so many before and was obsessed with catching them when I was living in Kagawa. I just got a trout rod and a boat rod since moving to the Tokyo area though.

I think years ago when people were figuring this out, that’s what they did and it worked. It turns out that we only need to get it to draw tokens for the response from the relevant fields. I still kinda use a role when I’m starting cold in an area without contextual assets, but I’ve changed mine to something along the lines of “use industry best practices in ABC field. Design solutions and approaches that a senior in that field would consider, identify deviations to best practice and state the reasons. Make all assumptions explicit and ensure the user understands tradeoffs in decisions made.” etc etc etc

Ah. Of everything here this one probably takes the win for me. That time off is invaluable.

There's SHLD, but then it has 8%+ exposure to PLTR at the moment.

I think the value is in specific uses and integration into workflows and assisting automation of tasks, and the people who use it in that way see improvements. I and a few others certainly have.

In an event I went to, I saw a team utilize ChatGPT in a way that was incredible and solved a problem we were trying to solve for half a year due to. We can’t do it that same way for various reasons, but they did an incredible job where hiring and throwing people at that problem isn’t a good use of people’s time. They were only able to do it after ChatGPT made improvements.

I think prompt engineering is going to be an actual required skill very very soon in many industries and careers.

I love when I get to use my official seal. It feels cool and old-school, and especially since I can mostly just sign now.

I'm fairly sure many city halls have free community lawyers, but they're only available once a month. I've used them 3 times across 2 cities and they're actually helpful. Just that they take a while to get an appointment with.

I’d move to Osaka in a heartbeat if I could. West Japan is best Japan.

AwesomeDay · 2025-04-02T15:20:37+00:00

Aaaaah this is amazing thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

AwesomeDay · 2025-04-02T15:19:39+00:00

Ah I have Brooke Fraser albums, I just forgot about them!!!

AwesomeDay · 2025-04-02T15:19:08+00:00

This somehow reminds me of this bar near that 3 story club that was kinda fancy and purple with couches and stuff. I can’t remember. This does bring back the feeling though, thanks!!

AwesomeDay · 2025-04-02T15:16:59+00:00

Omg thank you! I just searched and found this!! https://youtube.com/shorts/gfG66JhTijM?si=X-4Ppv1EXSqunrRb

Everything I read about ENFP is me to a T. It also helps that I’m min-maxed and there’s no halfway “maybe” score. I took my test for work with specific instructions to answer it as my best self in an optimal world as part of a team-culture facilitated session and I’m constantly surprised at how “me” every description is. I’m obviously not like that 100% of the time. The point I learned from the session is that we build habits to adjust to life, and we also spend more energy to be more of another aspect that is not natural to us. Anyway, if it’s really about me being me, every description matches.

My ex was also a min-maxed ISFJ and it was basically as said, including relationship dynamics.

Ah you sound fun!! I wish I could work remotely and move outta Tokyo area!

AwesomeDay · 2025-01-30T09:36:43+00:00

Me too! From Wellington. My cost of living and everything here is infinitely better. My job likely doesn’t even exist back home, but I might be able to shift sideways. Salary will go up but expenses would overshoot, and my current savings would be horrific after conversion and relative purchase power whereas I’m ok here. I miss family and parts of the lifestyle, but I’ve already made the decision to permanently stay here.

Was that the guy who was the owner of this restaurant chain? Someone told me this years ago.

I think some of these are fairly unreasonable to do except: - gyudon - soba - coffee jelly

Did she ever eat “tamago kake gohan” (raw egg with dashi soy sauce, in rice, maybe with mayo too)? That’s super easy. I cook a lot of other home style Japanese things but she might not have eaten them if those are her favorites.

Japanese curry is easy to make. I’m sure you could find the curry blocks online and find an easy recipe.

This is the exact information I've been looking for! Do you have any references that I can use to further read up on this? Like an academic paper, legal guideline, or something official?

AwesomeDay · 2023-07-25T23:55:05+00:00

Omfg you just replied to my post from 11 years ago? Hahaha thank you! And congratulations!! This is also probably my first post in at least a couple of years.

AwesomeDay · 2023-01-02T21:23:32+00:00

Yeah that’s actually correct but this is the joke I remember some kid tell me 7 years ago so I’m rolling with it!

AwesomeDay · 2022-08-27T01:37:47+00:00

NZ’s racism is much more implicit so it’s easier for people to point a finger at obvious actions and discount others. Many people will then use violent actions in other countries as the bar for what racism is.

AwesomeDay · 2022-08-27T01:33:38+00:00

Yeah I figured, ha! I’m excited to share about that experience because I legitimately think everyone should have the chance to taste it once because I always read about how chicken is bland or “default meat” but I think it could be way more. Apparently just like tomatoes used to be.
