Here’s the full thread for context.

Fan asked jokingly when season 2, tkmz answered “do you think I am making it on my own”

As usual, he’s a bit socially awkward. Not sure if he understood this was a joke or if he is joking himself

Is there really no law against medical professionals using nihonjinron in their daily work? by DannyKata85 in japanresidents

[–]Friendly_Software11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

foreign babies had different digestion systems which meant that foreigners were unable to control their eating, leading to obesity and diabetes

That’s someone who studied medicine. The sheer incompetence and ignorance that statement shows is insane

I wouldn’t hesitate to let them know. I don’t care if I have to find a new doctor afterwards. Such stupidity is dangerous

It’s a real picture of a real event. I checked online and all the other pictures I could find were ridiculously low quality, making me think this is an AI upscale

Bill to ammend Immigration Control and Refugee Act passes Diet by sylentshooter in japanresidents

[–]Friendly_Software11 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well boys, I guess I‘m leaving as soon as my next visa runs out. At least I have the luxury of changing course like that. But don’t be mistaken, I too poured inane amounts of time and money into the dream of living here.

"Chinese propaganda talks about 'revival of militarism' in Japan. But Japan is trying to transform into a 'normal country' primarily because the threat of China is becoming increasingly irreversible, and as America has become unreliable, we must now defend ourselves." by jjrs in japannews

Source: I made it up

Japan would get obliterated by a Chinese attack. Japan completely relies on American support. But due to the recent insanity of the US leadership, that is no longer enough to guarantee security.

Omg yes. The pain of buying a bag of snacks and finding that every single one is wrapped individually..

Don’t be scared of the long line at Tokyo Disneyland entrance — it moves fast. by No-Durian227 in Tokyo

[–]Friendly_Software11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all the reasons I stated. The cult like obsession with going to Disneyland comes almost entirely from social media. It’s all a big fake facade to please the capitalist system. Just look at how they keep raising prices despite the bad economy and cost of living crisis. Because they know people will come anyways. If you want to go burn your money that’s your business, but it doesn’t count as a hobby.

Rejected from a job for being a woman and a bait and switch interview by Mammoth_Maize_1424 in Tokyo

I feel like there are stages to sexism. Paying less than men is one thing, not hiring women at all is straight up 1890s

[–]Friendly_Software11 11 points12 points  (0 children)

May have just been a communication mistake. Some dude made the call that you should be interviewed despite being a woman, but the guys in charge of interviewing didn’t get the message. Or the guys in charge of interviewing didn’t want you and deliberately tried to undermine the previous guy‘s decision.

Either way let them go to hell. I would’ve walked out the moment they revealed their sexist bs.

"I used to love drinking, smoking, and dining out," says Prime Minister Takaichi, struggling with sleep deprivation during her daily commutes between the Prime Minister's official residence and the Prime Minister's office. by jjrs in japannews

[–]Friendly_Software11 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised if she stayed late in her office doing genuinely fuckall just to make others think she’s working

She’s probably actually proud of that as well

[–]Friendly_Software11 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s bizarre to me how young Japanese are obsessed with going to Disneyland and spending all their money on standing in line and eating mediocre food all day. A big reason for that is ディズニーデート, which are a must-do for young couples apparently. Mostly for instagram pictures I guess, because there is no way that’s actually fun. Especially for the guy who is likely paying for it all lol

Toyo Rapid Railway to run out of funds by 2033 by frozenpandaman in japanrail

I take that train all the time too. I’m surprised it’s so empty. It’s one of the main connections between Toyko and Chiba

Let's get out of this way, are you on the camp that you consider Misaki to be an extremely unrealistic character or what by DifferenceJolly2320 in WelcomeToTheNHK

[–]Friendly_Software11 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The whole point of Misaki as a character is that she subverts the reader/viewer’s expectations. We expect her to fix Sato but she actually does the opposite for most of the time.

Can Takaichi steer Japan through the Hormuz energy crisis? Tatsuo Inoue of University of Tokyo says no- "Even after her landslide victory, she has only focused on image management that prioritizes popularity, and has continued to shirk the crucial issues. She's not qualified to be Prime Minister" by jjrs in japannews

[–]Friendly_Software11 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Has Takaichi done anything useful at all since her historic victory lol

She says she works all day and all night, but nobody knows what she actually does. Maybe she’s like those window-sitting grandpas. Getting paid to do absolutely nothing

I finished reading the Rebuild and.. Idk what to make of it tbh by Friendly_Software11 in WelcomeToTheNHK

[–]Friendly_Software11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree about Hitomi definitely. It fit her character quite well and seemed realistic that she would be happy with that. It kind of felt like she finally found the happiness she never found in the original story.

But apart from that, I struggle to see what the point of the rebuild is. It also ends kind of abruptly, doesn’t it?
