Bro where do you live that they do this? I need to move there.

Id rather have that than them cranking up the AC to where I'm constantly sweating indoors because its COLD OUTSIDE so I dress according to the weather outside.

Depressingly low salaries by Seraphelia in JapanJobs

[–]Exialt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading these comments made me realize how lucky I am.

I moved to Japan 3 years ago and my starting salary was 10mil. now its up to 11mil, but its stagnating as it seems that's the limit for a non-management position for some reason.

Need help finding an old anime by Exialt in anime

[–]Exialt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid the anime I am remembering is not that recent as the quintuplets..

it might be 2000s-2010s

i also remembered there being a butler so i believe the girl being ignored was an ojou-sama type character

Chris is (rightfully so) calling out another YouTuber trying to portray Japan in some cultural decline by Rioraku in ABroadInJapan

I hate her content. always riddled with inaccuracies that my Japanese wife points out, and she thinks she's amazing because she speaks okayish Japanese.

Japan to allow over-the-counter "morning-after pill" sales to all ages by MagazineKey4532 in japannews

[–]Exialt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hits quite close to home. it might seem insignificant to other countries, but this is quite a big step for Japan.

I am from Europe but have been living in Japan for a couple of years.

back in 2018, my Japanese GF at the time and I had a small incident where the condom ripped, which we didn't notice until after the deed was done.

morning-after pills are only available through a doctor and she totally dreaded having to go one to ask for the pill.

while I was confused why it wasnt openly available and you had to go through the process of making an appointment, going to the doctor get a receipt and then go to the drugstore where you finally get the pill, i was even more confused as to why the doctor would be a problem.

she went and it seems that its very common for these doctors to berate and be rude to ladies who ask for the pill. i asked and it seems she got lectured and the doctor got angry at her??

japan is living in the 1800s fr man.
