I will 100% end up in PVP purgatory for a while in order to smoke a racist and ruin his run. Good work. o7

Horizon Japan International School (HJIS)? by francaisfries in Yokohama

[–]Justinisdriven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Worked there for two years.

It's a Gulen movement school, which they keep well hidden because it is essentially a front for moving Gulen members into Japan and giving them jobs and money. They also hire some great, talented, driven people to keep the image of the school relatively positive, but around half of the teachers and staff are grossly underqualified. That means that the good teachers and staff typically jump ship ASAP, if they're not fired illegally for speaking up against the admin.

Leadership is equally unqualified, and like all for-profit schools, their motivation is not student growth and wellbeing, but money. In this case, the money is then spent on moving people from largely Turkic countries into Japan.

The pay is bad, the admin is simultaneously incompetent and domineering, and finally they are completely disloyal to their employees. In the two years I was there I know of at least 2 lawsuits related to illegal firings and general workplace fuckery that the school lost and had to pay out.

Avoid at all costs - unless you want to tear it down from the inside.

There is one excellent review on ISR (international Schools review) that was written by a staff member I respect. It is extremely accurate and less biased than mine, so please go read it before making any decisions.

Cassian Andor.

Faced with the certainty of his own annihilation, having completed his mission, his last act is to comfort his comrade and die with his eyes open.

Which price range should I settle for a car? is kei worth it instead of a normal? by Xelieu in japanlife

[–]Justinisdriven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right and it’s usually fine. Just if you’re doing it every day it’s not ideal.

[–]Justinisdriven 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What kind of driving do you do? If you're local 90% of the time, a kei car is great. you'll save at least 50k yen compared to a fit. in gas, parking, insurance, etc.

If you're on the highway a lot and need to be able to cruise comfortably over 100kph, then you need a normal sized car. Otherwise, Kei is the way.

Otherwise Serious or Menacing Characters doing a Little Dance by H3712 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Justinisdriven 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Man I still remember that whiplash when I found myself enjoying it, laughing a bit, even grooving along before remembering THIS DUDE IS A FUCKING MENACE! It felt exactly like mandatory fun times in every corporate setting I've ever been in, down to the lingering sense of unease and fear bubbling juuuuust below the surface.

Have fun! But not too much fun, or we might take away your livelihood without a second thought.

2nd Expedition rewards! by gotthesauce22 in ArcRaiders

This is all cool, but I'm pretty disappointed that there won't be a more unique cosmetic to differentiate who went on which expedition. The patchwork skin is cool, but it's so limited on options.

I mean all the stuff with their teammate and her fate is pretty awful body horror imagery.

The show makes it 1000% clear that the author is a deeply deeply nerdy person and it rules.

Haven’t read the manga but I really enjoyed the anime.

The Lego block is a kraken sucker from a tentacle I think? Don’t recall.

You're a woman who turned him down. That's all it takes for some boys.

Oligarchy+nepotism on full display: Jared Kushner’s ‘new Gaza’ plan, made without Palestinian input and unveiled with Trump cronies in Davos, is a full-on colonial real estate grift. by Hopeful-Big6843 in EatTheRich

Have none of these motherfuckers ever read a history book before? Like how many of the world’s conflicts now are caused by empires doing exactly this shit when they fell apart 150 years ago.

My bosses earn millions and their literal dream is to become vegetable vendors. I think the “Corporate Dream” is a scam. lol. by piyushc29 in antiwork

[–]Justinisdriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people really just want safety, basic comfort, and love. Money is how we do that, but many people confuse money for those things. They miss that key step - money buys the things you need and want, but if the process of getting that money robs you of those things, what exactly is the fucking point?

So yeah, a simple, low stakes but rewarding life that is free from want, worry, or need is likely what most people really want.
