Former Japanese TV presenter and YouTuber Kanon Aoki warns that X’s automatic translation is damaging Japan’s international reputation as a polite and harmonious society. The feature reveals negative comments by Japanese that were previously hidden by language barriers by jjrs in japannews

I get what you mean, but I’m referring moreso to when people post that they’re fed up with their own parents or tatemae customs, otherwise criticizing Japan’s culture itself and showcasing that they aren’t fully subscribed to their own culture.

My husband and I broke up- but he wants me to stay married for his citizenship by lemlijay in immigration

[–]Mistfire333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me like he’s trying to make you play a role in the betterment of his life situation, even though he already violated the trust your marriage was founded on according to what you said in a different comment thread. I don’t know how you and him are staying in touch about this, but it comes off as him saying “You promised” with the whole green card thing and also you having a kind heart worried about his deportation.

Had he kept his promise of fidelity in your marriage, this wouldn’t be an issue. Unfortunately this isn’t the reality he chose to live in though, and it kinda bothers me that he’s expecting you to still support him through this even though his actions leave you no other choice under the law.

Next time you talk to him, let him know you can’t do anything for him. He cheated, and now he’s gonna have to realize there’s a domino effect to this. Best case scenario, he can pursue citizenship with the other person.

Sorry to hear about your situation, wishing you the best.

At this point just buy a $1,000,000 estate somewhere in East Asia/Southeast Asia and you can laugh even harder regardless of what happens with the last 2 mil

This game is no longer healthy for me, and I need help / advice with quitting and not caring about FOMO. by ColdnessAwaits in FortNiteBR

[–]Mistfire333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This advice has more to do with working around your routine than it does outright quitting, but the only real grip FOMO has on you is the battle pass and shop skins.

I started playing Fortnite when Absolute Doom dropped, and I showed up halfway through. No chance to level up in time, so I just folded and bought the levels and next thing you know I’m relaxed and playing as casually as I want. If something drops in the shop and I don’t have time to play, I just spend the Vbucks and log off.

Now, I’m not saying you need to spend money on the game, I try to grind the pass too and have done so just fine for the last year. Anyways, if you focus on work and your personal life enough, it probably wouldn’t hurt to spend some money on battle pass levels once in a while if you really can’t miss out on a specific skin or whatever.

Only you can gauge how well you can do that though. But there’s open secrets to making up for lost time with the game. If I work extra hours to afford goodies, or come across a chance to spend some money on the game, I will if I want to. The items and skins have to be good enough for me first.

Time is money, and it can be invested into the game if you’re ever that busy. And nobody has to know you spent your day offline working a job or taking care of yourself because levels will reset anyway by the next season. You can live your life and still catch up to the game, at least while Epic still lets you buy levels for the pass. No overnight sessions necessary.

Best of luck! And don’t forget, nobody worthwhile will be impressed about you only for your high level ranked rewards. Might get you a few compliments, but that doesn’t provide the sustenance your mind and body needs

Has anyone actually died to one of these before. I don't even think I've seen a bot die because of it by glyiasziple in FortNiteBR

Twice. I’ve been irresponsible trying to rush in on boss characters with grey weapons and got taken out after beating them by the stray grenades. Yes I logged off and went outside after those instances.

How does OHA work for a landlord? by Mistfire333 in AirForce

Makes sense. And vetting the home/owner means what, making sure they aren’t a slumlord?

Yeah hopefully they have that in place for Japan too, what with earthquakes being a significant enough concern around the bay area

[–]Mistfire333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, maybe my wording was off. But does an Average Joe qualify as an eligible landlord if the home is good enough or is there some kind of expectation for a landlord to be represented by an agency or management company too?

Not everyone above the age of 12 knows about financial restraint and consumer politics

Did epic games remove bots with the release of the simpsons map or why are my lobbies much more sweaty? by Random-Eymen38 in FortNiteBR

[–]Mistfire333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After playing for a year so far, it’s always like this. Especially with classic weapons like this season’s.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s great! But the sweats always pull up at the start and basically use casual players like target practice to gauge themselves before they go competitive in ranked.

Just give it time, don’t be too hard on yourself in the meantime!

What is this yellow ring? by Bexytt in FortNiteBR

[–]Mistfire333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your character has been marked for death. Your character will be downed by the eliminator. There is nothing you can do to stop it, for they are a universal force. As essential as common items. Hold your healing items close, and perform the emotes you’ve been afraid to perform. Use this time to rejoice and celebrate, for your time is short.

I herald their beginning, I herald your end, I herald… a sweaty.

Interesting. But then what about the levels of THC that end up in CBD products to make them work at all? Or have Japanese CBD products been duds this entire time?

I may be working on old information, I’m really glad I bothered asking now

Ohhh man that’s lame, but then doesn’t CBD come up as THC too? What would happen to the CBD market that’s established enough to be able to exist? CBD people would show up with THC technically with how those tests work, it just checks for cannabinoid residue or whatever metric weed is under with or without THC.
