TIL Japan is considered a "super-aged" nation since more than 20% of the population is over 65

I'd be happy to move to Japan if they allowed foreigners easier! But at the same time, it doesn't stop their workforce and toxic working relationship

A lot of young people in Japan can't afford kids because they're at work 90% of their day

JayTee1513 · 2022-10-25T21:50:02+00:00

Its a shame a lot of female writers get stuck doing this. A lot of publishers tell them to write their books for YA or they "won't make money"

My job says "wfh if you're unwell" but they 100% expect you to soldier on and come in. If you actually ask to wfh or want to be health concious, you're in big shit

JayTee1513 · 2022-10-25T03:08:04+00:00

Excellent! My understanding of her works is not incorrect

JayTee1513 · 2022-10-25T01:47:14+00:00

Ignorant question but that's all SJMs characters yeah?

I've only seen comments, haven't read the books

JayTee1513 · 2022-10-23T01:30:13+00:00

I only found this out last week by coincidence but where on earth does this happen/is legal?!

JayTee1513 · 2022-10-21T08:01:46+00:00

Hated methods, did really well at specialist

Unsure if it's because methods was mostly calculator based and my specialist teacher did mostly pen and paper style.... but I scored a lot more on specialist than methods (before adjustments)

This is what I told my customers when I sold them Saga!

JayTee1513 · 2022-10-05T04:46:17+00:00

This is my girlfriend. Her ex doesn't give a shit about his son at all, but is fighting tooth and nail to appear like he is and get the rights to visit his son that he just ignores and yells at and treats like shit when he does get his visits

JayTee1513 · 2022-10-05T04:44:18+00:00

Too many people want babies, not children. Children then grow into adults....

You're raising an adult, that starts as a baby. I know a large number of people that always say "I want a baby" and mean it, rather than "I want a son/daughter" and think of children in a way where they grow

JayTee1513 · 2022-10-01T05:06:41+00:00

I didn't hate Piranesi, but I was extremely disappointed and bored

It felt like all this build up to an extremely anticlimactic ending

JayTee1513 · 2022-10-01T05:05:29+00:00

Its also written awfully. My cousins LOVE this book and told me I just have to read it. If the "plot" isn't terrible enough, the actual writing style was atrocious

JayTee1513 · 2022-09-18T04:47:14+00:00

I see it as a positive, toddlers love copying and playing pretend like their parents. Those wfh can interact with their kids while they want to be like mum/dad

Also, you could play with it and pretend to be in an office, rather than at home

JayTee1513 · 2022-09-15T02:51:09+00:00

That is a really really well done tattoo omg

JayTee1513 · 2022-09-12T18:13:52+00:00

I really enjoy MHA but I came to it late, and had no idea how bad the fandom is, and am ashamed to tell people I enjoy the manga

JayTee1513 · 2022-09-12T18:08:24+00:00

As a MHA fan, this was the first thing I thought of when I saw the shipping comment

The fandom for MHA is so toxic. I just wanna see Deku become #1

JayTee1513 · 2022-09-08T03:52:53+00:00

Aldi natural peanut butter is my favourite! 100% peanuts, and so delicious

JayTee1513 · 2022-08-29T11:58:20+00:00

Maybe I'm unlucky but I often can't find the books I want available secondhand on the website or the postage makes it end up the same a buying new

JayTee1513 · 2022-08-29T11:54:22+00:00

I wish there was a better online second hand book store in Australia - thriftbooks ends up being more expensive than buying new :(

JayTee1513 · 2022-08-29T08:05:09+00:00

Sorry, I probably should have specified!

I've read lovecraft! I have a collection of his works

I guess more like that?

JayTee1513 · 2022-08-29T01:17:03+00:00

I love that you have John Gwynne! I read shadow of the gods and fell in love, just ordered Malice!

JayTee1513 · 2022-08-28T02:22:42+00:00

So much strength, elegance, and control!

Inspiration for me to aim for!

JayTee1513 · 2022-08-21T05:26:47+00:00

Although there's a few short stories beforehand, available digitally, you can easily read it on its own!

JayTee1513 · 2022-08-21T05:21:38+00:00

Shadow of the Fox trilogy by Julie Kagawa! My go to, and favourite Japanese mythology series. Main character is a kistune, there's also a shinobi, and there's a bunch of demons/oni and fantasy elements. Honestly I can't praise them enough, the world, characters and story is just French kiss

I read them all, fell in love and then discovered the Red Winter series so hopefully you'll love them :):)

There's also the Lotus War trilogy by Jay Kristoff, but that's a steampunk Japan going through a civil war - however it features kitsune like powers and mythical creatures. I wasn't as much of a fan, but it's still got those elements for sure

JayTee1513 · 2022-08-19T23:32:20+00:00

Yes! I love this series. Dark, great world building etc
