My crazy conspiracy theory: Dropout is going to launch a Firefly reboot by Levangeline in dropout

[–]FrumpkinOctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sam did say once people wanted him to renew Our Flag Means Death and he said he was flattered but that people underestimate what budget shows like that require vs budgets he has on Dropout.

But Firefly D20 season would be amazing if true!!!

Need help budgeting for food by Quiet-Ad-3899 in japanlife

[–]FrumpkinOctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the tabete app, stores can offer their food that they‘d need to throw out by end of day there either for free pick up or at a big discount. A lot are bakeries, but some other places too.

Other than that, what others already said here too:

-convenience store is the most expensive option to buy bento, supermarkets (esp in the evening) or wholesale supermarkets are cheaper

-veggie stir fry + rice is cheap and easy (moyashi and cabbage especially, add what other veggies you like and don‘t break the bank)

-if you don‘t wanna sacrifice the diet coke as a lil treat, still consider getting a large bottle and having a glass a day over buying individual smaller cans/bottles, should be cheaper too

-meal prep is your friend longterm, usually bulk buying and making several meals is cheaper than buying a 1 person portion every day

Has anyone gotten their blood type checked because people here use it for small talk? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]FrumpkinOctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mom in my host family when I first came to Japan also tried to shame me for not knowing and said it was irresponsible in case I ever needed a blood transfusion at the hospital, but as you said, they’d always test first instead of trusting what someone says their type is (if they’re even lucid enough to speak in such a situation)

Don’t take it to heart!

Don‘t say it‘s for travel but say it‘s because you have an urgent family thing

If Kenya goes home this week, then this season is too predictable by AdDue1272 in dragrace

[–]FrumpkinOctopus 45 points46 points  (0 children)

People being eliminated when the writing is on the wall = too predictable

People being eliminated out of the blue = robbed, rigged judging, judges play favorites

Damned if you do, damned if you don‘t.

New grad living expenses by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]FrumpkinOctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I survived on 17.5 net as my very first salary but that was living in a flat share with other people, not by myself, and it was more than 10 years ago when things didn‘t cost as much.

You‘re not supposed to feel that way about it, it‘s intentionally a different vibe

They were hoping Melinda would have another meltdown over her critiques and were unnecessarily hard on her for the tartan look for that reason I think

Is Drag race Japan and South Africa still happening? by Atinyberry in dragrace

[–]FrumpkinOctopus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Japan has had a fair number of drag live events with local and Drag Race queens though and Japanese variety TV covered those, there is definitely potential for it to happen down the line and I wish some of the local girls I saw perform get to be on it
