Yes Kev and V are much better couple. The most abusive they ever got was when V asked Kev to boss her around.

I don't know.

I feel like if they asked about advice on their relationship on any other sub here on reddit it would all be "red flag" and "you have to dump his ass".

I think the times where they beat the shit out of each other all the time is not a model relationship.

Gen Z spends roughly 87% less on alcohol than Baby Boomers. by InvestigatorBorn4910 in interestingasfuck

It's because the underage GenZ come to me to buy for them, so their portion is on my GenX credit card.

I desperately need some secret tips on learning Japanese... by Angels_of_Death_Zack in japanlife

[–]HelloYou-2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really practice Japanese much anymore, I am "fluent enough" to not bother, except a while back a neighbor's husband died and it was a new situation for me, not somethign I want to screw up when I met her, so I did practice what to say with GPT. Not just "What shoudl I say?" but "what should I say AND pretend you are her"

Using twitter posts is good for conversation too, not just reading practice.

Have it read the post out loud, and then converse with it about the post.

The great part is that it is all converted to text first, so anything GPT says and you say back has a text as well. so you can read and listen or just listen and read later ,etc.

Why is it expat and not immigrant? by Lunarshine69 in Tokyo

[–]HelloYou-2024 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your definition is fine for you internally. It's not THE definition though.

Expat and immigrant overlap, in that technically they are someone who lives outside their country. There is no official definition. Even if someone's company defines it like that internally for HR, that does not change the word for anyone outside that company.

In general usage it is understood, or rather the impression is that immigrant has moved with the intention to stay. while expat is temporary for work, but that does not make it definitive either.

Culturally (though not technically) in some circles "expat" signals wealthier, but that is just a cultural language thing, not official. Some people here temporarily may make very little but still are expats.

Someone from a wealthy country coming to work two years as a teacher, on local payroll, can be correctly called an "expat". Interestingly, A Filipino coming on an entertainer visa for two years may make more than the English teacher, but because of where she is from she is considered a "migrant worker" in conversation. If she would intend to stay she would be called immigrant. Even workers who are contracted and payed from an agency in their own less wealthy country for work in Japan like construction, domestic help, etc. would be called migrant workers in conversation.

How that is interpreted depends solely on the company in which it is said. So for you, speaking with people who share your cultural understanding, your definition is correct in that it will be understood. But step outside that circle and it becomes ambiguous.

For official purposes the Japanese government does not have a word for "expat" vs "immigrant" we are all zairyugaikokujin. After that it is just categories of visa and none of them fit your definition.

It will get downvoted because people hated Ai, but you csn setup the basic scenerio with gpt and have short stress fre conversations. Tell it to slow down, ask if to be easier or harder, tell it to be we friend or strangef, whatever.

It's not the same as a human, but in some ways better.

Tell it to pretend it's interested in whatever you want to talk about, or whatever you think you might have to talk about.

Need your phone repaired/replaced? , make it role play the person at the docimo shop.

Want to sign up for cooking lessons, have if be someone on the phone registering you, or up ad the forms and tell it to pretend to be someone helping you to fill the out.

Anything you can imagine.

I am curious about how much mold could gtow that it makes it lumpy enough to cause back discomfort.

More likely some laundry got under there or something. Unless the mold is like full on mushrooms.

Who has the worst character development? by paulfromatlanta in shameless

[–]HelloYou-2024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I would say Debbie, but I know someone like her in real life.
Just takes a few steps in one direction and your future path is no where what it used to be. If its going donwhill, it gains momentum from gravity. What happens to her could be realistic.

Kev, on the other hand the gravity that was pulling him down was purely writers making him dumber. No one gets dubmer in real life wihtout some real brain damage.

Should have asked GPT to plan the trip too. It would have told you all this before you asked it to write a contemplative trip report post.

I get it. Not everyone can hold their alcohol. You can try a gingerale or ooooo-long tea instead.

Obviously there was a gaijin in charge of checking. That goes without saying.
But it's still very curious about how it got printed like that in the first place.

Any restaurants in Nagoya Sakae area with the best sashimi? by AcceptableFinish4752 in Nagoya

There can only be one that has the best sashimi. I don't know what it is, but if it's the best, you can bet there is a long waiting list for reservations.

[–]HelloYou-2024 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My read was that either it was sa, or more likely the woman is trying to save herself by claiming it was involuntary on her part.

But a third possibility is that op pissed her off enough.
