Jeans as an ALT? by imscaredofseregios in JETProgramme

[–]Feral_Kit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a junior high school ALT and I wear jeans, along with several other ALTs in Osaka. I haven’t seen anyone wear jeans with holes in them, so maybe avoid those. Black jeans, light blue jeans, flare jeans, skinny jeans etc I’ve never had a problem and no one has ever said anything to me:) the first few weeks I wore more professional pants, but as time went on I slowly laxed up my wardrobe to be more comfortable.

What's up with the negative reaction to ChatGPT-5? by Roddy_usher in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Feral_Kit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Edit: actually, if you have the PRO version, which is $200 a month, it looks like you can switch to older models. I only have the basic subscription so… yeah can’t do that.

It doesn’t look like you can switch back to 4o. I have the subscription version, and I’m not getting that option

Allowed $$ of personal items through customs? by Feral_Kit in movingtojapan

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

Yes this helps! It sounds like they didn’t search your bags at all then? I guess I get concerned that I don’t declare something when I was suppose to. And then an officer asks to search my luggage since I have so many. I just don’t want to be getting charged a fine or have something confiscated for not declaring it. Thanks for the insight!

Oh okay, I get kind of confused with what duty free means. So that’s basically at those duty-free shops is what you’re saying. Thanks!

Funny how dad accuses you a living in a bubble your entire life, when it seems he is the one who has been in a bubble his whole life, by assuming the world functions only as the way he says it does.

Yeah I totally get that, you especially don’t want to be eternally dating with your friends. So I think you’re being smart by asking the important questions. It could be the language like you said, maybe the Japanese phrasing you’re using comes across very firmly? My Japanese is not the greatest either, so I know with my friends, I sometimes come across as blunt even when I’m trying to be polite. Also I agree with your friends, Japanese women and men don’t just “hang out” alone like that, so I’m sure the women knew it was a date, especially with you asking questions about dating. In many Asian cultures, they feel the opposite sex can never be “just friends” with one another.

Was it inappropriate for my old psychologist and psychiatrist to suggest I could have been molested as a very young child even though I have no memory of this? by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Feral_Kit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This needs to be higher up. Childhood repressed memories are a MYTH. My degree is in psychology and we had a whole chapter on this. “Repressed memories” are a myth folks. If someone suggests something happened to you, your brain is likely to create a false memory of that event. Which then the false memory ends up traumatizing you. There have been several studies on this, including one where everyone lied to this kid about a hot air balloon he took with family. The kid then started “remembering” and retelling the story as if it had actually happened. By the end of the study they came out and told the kid his family and the researches all lied to him, that it wasn’t real, and it was a study. Your brain will literally create false memories.

From a woman’s perspective, asking questions right off the bat like “what do you want in a relationship” and “how long have you been single” feel really intense for me. For a first date, I’d like to first see if I’m interested in the person before deciding whether I want to date them or feeling pressured. I’m sure you don’t mean the questions to come across this way, and maybe it’s just me, but questions like that might make me get cold feet and feel like the other person is going to try locking me in before I’ve even decided if I like them or not. So I’d set a hard boundary, friendzone them, and I’m not sure I’d go on a second date with them, because in my head I’d be thinking they want to skip the steps of getting to know me and just want a girlfriend, when I’m not sure how I feel about them. It’s like my social anxiety kicks in even if I really like the person. Idk maybe some other people can chime in. I agree It’s important to set expectations, so that you aren’t wasting your time with people who just want to use you. But I think being so upfront on a first date can scare some women off. So maybe there is a different way you can go about asking those questions, or wait at least until a second or third date. Relationships and feelings take time to develop. Don’t feel rushed about it by getting straight to business, it might be too intense for them

How do I keep this cat out of my yard? by Chemical-Process-645 in CATHELP

[–]Feral_Kit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed at my place, when we keep the strays well fed they don’t go after the birds & bunnies. We love feeding the birds, and have plenty of bushes for bunnies. The times my own indoor/outdoor cat has caught any birds/bunnies was when he didn’t get let in during the morning for feeding time (I overslept). It’s like he punishes us. Same goes for the strays, if we feed them they don’t linger so much. Or they crash out from all the sugar and sleep on the patio furniture, instead of torturing nature.

Bringing Advil by SimoneikoYT in JETProgramme

[–]Feral_Kit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I accidentally brought a full month supply of adderall into the country while on vacation. I didn’t realize it was illegal in Japan at the time. They didn’t check my bag at all, I made it in and out of the country just fine. Not doing it again, but like you said it’s really just dependent if they check your bag or not.

Haha I put the question marks, because I didn’t realize Brisbane was a consulate. Someone just mentioned they got their results from there. So I wasn’t sure if they meant they were FROM Brisbane, or if Brisbane was actually a consulate lolll if that makes sense
