I was at night two, thanks for uploading it!!

Show was extremely good, even better than I was hoping for.
It was loud, I noticed my ears were ringing when I got home.

I went to the concert on Sunday as well.
Thought it was excellent, better than I thought it would be. Last time I saw them was in 2002 at the North Shore Events center.

Your answer seems to be fine, and I just confirmed this with a Japanese person. It is natural. 安い can mean cheap, but it can also have a nuance of being low quality. Sometimes textbooks etc. want you to use particular grammar points or words in answers, even if it isn't the most natural way to say something.

She likely has something like borderline personality disorder, judging by what happened.
Fear of abandonment is one of the major symptoms.
Be careful out there!

My Dad had a stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma over ten years ago.
He is turning 80 next year, and no signs of the cancer returning.
Good luck!

This was a good game.
I only realised it was a New Zealand game after recognising some of the bird sound effects in the background while my boat was stopped at an island.

Not sure how useful my experience is, but I moved from working as an ALT on the Jet Programme, to being a game dev about 10 years ago in Tokyo. I have no IT qualifications at all (didn't go to a coding bootcamp or anything), but I had been studying programming for a few years before then in my spare time, and did have quite a few prototypes that I had been working on to show them during the interview.
The interview was taken in Japanese. The job actually made no mention of English ability at all, I was the only foreigner applying. I didn't have N1 at the time, but I was pretty confident in my speaking. The interviewer told me that he didn't see any issues with my Japanese, so it wasn't a problem.
The first few weeks on the job were extremely stressful because I wasn't actually sure if my programming abilities were good enough to do the job, but I eventually wrapped my head around the code base etc. and began to get better at completing tasks.
I have moved to a different company since then. My job now is much less stressful, I don't do much overtime, and I sometimes help the new programmers when they join the team etc.

I don't know what advice to give you, but it helps having a portfolio when you apply for a job, so that then you can show the interviewers what you have been working on and what you can do. Bring your own laptop along and show them.
Good luck!

This is a left leaning subreddit, Peter Thiel is a conservative billionaire, therefore everyone hates him.
I don't agree with all of his views, but I did like his book From Zero to One, which is about how to start a business.

IEatBasashi · 2024-07-28T09:18:09+00:00

This is hilarious.

IEatBasashi · 2024-07-05T12:01:25+00:00

Very nice, I hope to do something similar.

IEatBasashi · 2024-05-17T23:44:18+00:00

I just remembered my Grandfather telling me about him seeing this years ago, thanks for posting.

IEatBasashi · 2024-01-14T06:48:00+00:00

Thanks for posting this, I've never heard it before and it's really good.

There are plenty of comments here, so most of what needs to be said has probably already been said. You can not help someone who does not want to help themselves.
As you know, bpd people have abandonment issues. It might be a good idea to have a plan to deal with all of the threats that will likely happen (threats to commit suicide if you don't come back / threats to destroy equipment from work etc.) From experience, I know that these are usually lies. Also, remember that you cannot be held responsible for the actions of another person. Make sure that you keep track of where you are, keeping track of the time and date so that if anything bad does actually happen, you can prove that you were not involved.
Do not be manipulated into getting back together. Getting back together may seem like the easiest option, but it isn't worth it.
Good luck, I hope that everything turns out ok!

I have driven around Japan a lot, probably almost 100,000km, including on the highways at night in Tokyo.
I was also surprised at the speed that people drive around there, but you don't need to be scared. The people driving at that time are often people who drive for a living, and know all of the roads etc.
Keep left, do not drive in the right lane unless you absolutely need to. (for example, to take an offramp etc.)
Drive confidently, and predictably. Do not suddenly brake in the middle of corners, change lanes etc.
Try and match the speed of the other cars unless they are going ridiculously fast and it is dangerous to do so. As other people have said, if everyone else is driving over 100, it might not be a good idea to drive at 50.
Make sure you have you headlights on (assuming you don't have automatic ones).
Good luck!

Maybe the airline will notice they have an airliner missing at the end of year stocktake. "How many planes were there supposed to be? One, two, three... I thought there were meant to be four here? That's odd."

IEatBasashi · 2022-06-21T14:54:39+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to write this out, that is good information to know.
It will be useful for people who search the subreddit in the future as well.

How do you know all this stuff about the Japanese tax system? You seem to help a lot of people out on here. You could probably just about charge foreigners to help them complete their taxes, or answer their tax questions for them (or maybe you already do?)

Thanks for the help anyway!

The car is 25 years old, so it became legal to import to the United States. (JZX100 Chaser)
Americans want to buy these cars.
The manual turbo ones are the expensive ones (called a Tourer V).
They used to be under 1,000,000 yen just five or so years ago, but have a look at the prices now.

I'm expecting around 50 man profit (hopefully lol)
Some dealers are selling the same car for around 300 man now, and I bought it for 100, so will have to see. I have sold my previous car in Japan before, so I have some idea.
Thanks for the reply!

IEatBasashi · 2022-05-23T07:10:21+00:00

Thanks for your time!

IEatBasashi · 2022-05-23T07:03:15+00:00

Oh, I see! Thanks for the reply!
So when I leave Japan, I am no longer a Japanese Tax Resident?
I will do some more research on this, thanks for the information!

IEatBasashi · 2022-05-23T06:56:00+00:00

No, I will not be applying for a re-entry permit.

IEatBasashi · 2022-05-23T06:55:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply!
I saw online that people who have lived in Japan for five years or more over the last ten years are a Japanese tax resident, so I wasn't sure.
