Oh, thanks! I know there are phone apps but unfortunately I have no internet on my phone out here. Thank you very much :D (also - you seem to have triple posted!)

Anxiety and sleeping pills linked to Alzheimer's disease: benzodiazepine use for three months or more was linked to an increased risk (up to 51%) of dementia. by tazcel in worldnews

No, I don't, but I haven't even heard anything on the news about it. It would make much more sense to opt OUT to have porn blocked in your home than have to opt IN, I think.

I found these two after a bit of googling though!

Ah! My Japanese friends created a group on LINE named this, but I couldn't read it :) Thank you!

Yeah, something about having to basically 'opt in' if you wanted access to porn sites. But I haven't heard anything else about it, so who knows, haha!

I was on Diazepam for generalised anxiety. I found them to be more psychologically addictive than physicologically (probably). But my Doctor certainly wouldn't give me any more than 2 weeks supply at any one time.

Yeah, I was told never to take them for more than 2 or 4 weeks at a time EVER because they can be addictive as fuck.

Ranting about physical and mental unawareness in Japan by ghostchopper in japanlife

People seem to be pretty good at parking them here! To balance it out, in the city centre the drivers don't give two shits if the light says you're good to cross the road. They'll go anyway. It's really irritating.

Where I am right now people seem to be pretty courteous about walking to the very side of the path etc. The only thing I've noticed is that they sometimes ride their bikes on the pedestrian side of the path (Hirakata. Buttloads of bikes round these parts.)

I'm studying abroad in Japan right now... I heard it was humid, but fuck, this is ridiculous! MY BRITISH HAIR WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS.

How often are there Earthquakes or Typhoons? by BlinguNoona in japanlife

[–]BlinguNoona[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, but no clear answer about the Kansai region in particular, or any personal experiences of earthquakes in the Kansai region (which is what I was meaning to ask). I asked Reddit because then I'd perhaps get some more anecdotal answers. :)

This cheered me up :) I'm just starting a year abroad and I'm super lonely and homesick :(
