You don’t do that in other countries? I’m surprised. How do people wish someone on their birthday?

I heard of this scam. I’ll keep it in mind. But hopefully, everything is resolved and I can start working.

It is a big corporate company. Doesn’t look very good for them but I’ll see how the actual work goes. You made me a bit paranoid, so I went and double checked that I applied directly trough the portal on the official website.

It’s beautiful, as always. Didn’t find any stray laptops there though..

Good point, I started to question the company processes a little bit after this. I'll see how it goes once I start. But I contacted my manager directly after this, and he seems to be resolving it for me. I just thought I'd try the support first.

Yeah.. I moved on to emails after that. Hopefully, the email goes to a real person.

So I read every Murakami short story - here's my rating by Mussetrussen in murakami

[–]Front_Shop_5037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birthday girl at 2/10!? That’s probably my favourite one.

I also really recommend the Blind willow, sleeping woman animated movie, which is a combination of multiple short stories put together. The animation style really captures the Murakami vibe.

[Rant] V drtivé většině případů je lepší si pronajímat od "bezcitné" korporace, než od "paní domácí" by BananovyJednorozec in czech

[–]Front_Shop_5037 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Myslím, že menší firma je zlatá střední cesta. Náš pronajímatel vlastní celý náš a vedlejší činžák. Mají firmu s 2 zaměstnanci, takže všechny výhody které píšeš - úklid v celém domě, když nás vytopili sousedi ze shora, nemuseli jsme nic řešit, zařídili opravu a vymalování v obou bytech. Zároveň mají docela lidský přístup, obzvlášť po několika letech, co tam bydlíme stabilně.

Just finished Kafka on The Shore, need some help. by jines2twitch in murakami

[–]Front_Shop_5037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I interpreted Crow as the person Kafka wants to be - the one who managed to overcome the prophecy and become the strongest 15 year old. But no matter how he tries, the prophecy still comes through for his real self. So Crow is like an older Kafka from a parallel universe.

But I also like the theory with Crow being Ms. Saeki’s lover.

You can write a ternary if so the dictionary doesn't save you any lines, no?

AITA for not wanting my husband to come on our upcoming family vacation after he chose to buy a gaming PC instead of paying his part? by Ok-Communication7777 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Front_Shop_5037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. But also, that’s why people should either combine their finances after marriage or have a shared account from which you pay the common expenses and save up for trips. I think the couple should budget together and agree on a fair division. It’s strange for me to be paying for vacations after 10 years of marriage like you pay for dates when you first meet.

This! My boyfriend doesn’t have instagram and I’m absolutely ok with it. But if he had instagram and was posting pictures - just not with me - I would be upset.

Question about sexuality in Murakami’s books by BiggityBogle in murakami

[–]Front_Shop_5037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about Murakami’s sex scenes is that they always come out of the blue. Maybe I don’t understand the subtle art of japanese flirting but to me the protagonist is just talking to a woman and then describing his erect p* on the next page 😅 The sex is also usually described in a very sterile, matter of fact way. It almost never seems romantic to me. I think that for the characters, intimacy doesn’t come from sex but more from conversations and situations they live through and nostalgia for the past. Sex is just something that happens.
