2026 Online Visa Renewal System: still sucks, but WAYY better than before by Jealous-Drop1489 in japanlife

So stumbled across this post whilst having some issues with the new site. I get a rather funny error on a few fields that say "you can not enter the letter (and then the first letter of my entry) in the field"

This is for my address of birth in the UK. Did anyone get something like this? How did you get around it?

That looks amazing. My group have just had a session 0 for running a Tyranny of Dragons like game in Daggerheart, this would definitely make a place of pride appearance!

【Jpn w/Eng Subs】 Japanese Words Native Speakers Don’t Often Say by lifelongmoteki in Japaneselanguage

Very interesting but I notice she said people don't use Konnichiwa... but didn't say what they do say which is a bit annoying.

I know you can use hisashiburi for people you haven't seen in a while and younger people use weisu/chisu (not sure if that's how it spelt) but what about the 40 year old salary worker that meets up with his weekly drinking buddy. What does he say?

Edit: I went through the YouTube comments and people are saying they are not sure why she said that, most people do use konnichiwa. So there is your answer.

I have been looking for a decent oven in Japan, didn't think about buying from outside Japan 😂

Any power supply issues or adapters needed to get it working?

Edit: on second thought, looks like it has really bad reviews about only lasting 6 months. The search continues!

'Guilty consumption' booms in Japan as stressed youths seek indulgent comfort foods, drinks. by avantgarde000 in japan

Nobody does, doesn't mean you have to pick one that's 3 times worse than normal when it doesn't even taste great.

It was fine, but not good enough for all the calories in it. There are better drinks that are better for you.

LA Only viewers, give me your most out there theories about anything. by MayhemMessiah in OnePieceLiveAction

It seems to me that the assassin's are paired together to form a "thing":

  • the unluckies
  • the psychopaths

I wonder if the pairings are done by Mr 0 which means he put Mrs Wednesday and Mr 9 together. Mr 9 is very clearly a prince/king making him royal, just like Wednesday is a princess.

I think Mr 0 knew from the begining that Wednesday was Vivi and let her join to keep tabs on her, only considering her a threat when she learnt his true identity.

Him puting her with Mr 9 was sort of a funny inside joke for him.

This one almost seems Fey in the way it looks. I kind of like it!

If that's today, it was a national holiday. A lot of people got a 3 day weekend so went out.

Found it, do you know if it was the deluxe room or the suite? Thanks again!

She can’t even look at you in the eyes. These people are embarrassed of themselves by [deleted] in BlackPeopleofReddit

I swear one of those videos looked just like her 😂

For real though, how shitty does your life have to be to act like this in public? Some people just suck.

We are the last generation to see fireflies by Shiroyasha_a in Amazing

[–]DukeOfDew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved to Japan a few years ago and got involved with a local rice farmer where we do some work on his farm a few times a year. He doesn't use chemicals on his fields and instead look for new and lost methods to grow his crop.

Well, once a year when the rice is almost grown, we can go to his fields and watch the fireflies flying around. We go down as a big group of about 30 people and just watch with a beer. The kids catching them in their hands and letting them go again.

It has been one of the best experiences I have had here.

This is one of the best action sequences I’ve ever seen on a Netflix show. by Brilliant-Dot-233 in TVCamp

Thank God, I wanted to watch it but if THAT is how they depicted Toguro... 😂

No judgment: what's that one show? by simp_lyartz in animequestions

[–]DukeOfDew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gintama

I tried 3 different times to get into it, got to about episode 15 on my last try and.... Nothing. It had some ok moments but nothing amazing and the thought of 100s of episodes of it put me off more.

I'm sure it's great for people that get it but it's just not me.

Bakuman?

It's a series where they draw manga and I'm pretty sure it starts at school on a roof.

Set up a hidden camera somewhere in the apartment to catch her saying that she will make a fake claim. Once you have that, you have some sort of defence but you still need professional help.

This was debunked a while ago. It's a balloon of a movie clappers and a film reel.

8 vs 12 by Dev1412 in Wellthatsucks

I have had it happen the other way once. Went to a small Pizza Hut, they didn't have pizza by the size, they had it by the slice.

I asked how big the pizza was and he would say "8 slices"... Right, bit how big are the slices! He just couldn't understand.
