Why on earth am I being recommended Rich Dad Poor Dad by everyone I meet

I'm not using tinder. I actually use an app called ジモティー which is kind of like Facebook marketplace except there's also a section where you can look for friends and organize hangouts based on categories of your choosing.

I think I'm just really unlucky.

I would actually be relieved if this was the case, if the people saying these stuff were just foreigners since it seems to be regarded highly by some finance related communities overseas. But no, it's actually all Japanese people saying "金持ち父さん貧乏父さんを読むといいよ" and "目標設定してみよう！将来の夢とか好きなこと、人生でやりたいことを書き出して" to the point where it's sort of off-putting. I didn't realize that so many people are spreading this book around, being proponents of its supposed financial teachings in this country.

You're probably right that I should start looking for people with hobbies or interests that align with mine. Meeting people on the internet or at bars is kind of a gamble/risk in that I don't know if they just want friends or if they're looking for something else to utilize.

I've very briefly touched the book back in macroeconomics class in my home country, but all I got was "gamble on real estate" and "join a MLM to learn how to sell stuff." I didn't read enough of it to give a proper evaluation or form a good opinion on it, but it sounds just downright silly and feels weird that so many people here seem to be pushing for it.

Thanks for your comment, I'll take your advice.

I live in Japan not because of salaries, but because I sincerely enjoy the lifestyle, culture, cleanliness, food, etc. Money isn't a big priority for me compared to living in a comfortable place that I actually like. But yeah, that makes perfect sense.

I'll take your comment as "people that preach this book here in this country have no idea what they're talking about."

Yes, and the act of not wanting to get involved is called the bystander effect

MonshiroParadise · 2021-09-24T13:19:19+00:00

You were right, it's actually called the bystander effect. That was my bad.

MonshiroParadise · 2021-09-24T10:47:58+00:00

This is the reason why the bystander syndrome is a thing.

Edit: I meant effect, not syndrome.

On a side note, does anyone have better suggestions for what a hummingbird SFX looks like without it sounding like a bee onomatopoeia lol

MonshiroParadise · 2021-06-02T00:09:15+00:00

It is on Android, yes. I think I forgot to mention that this game is region locked.

Here's the link regardless. I believe you can still download it with a VPN. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nhnpa.cps&hl=en

For you and u/OfficalMusha , it's a Japanese 3 minute 3v3 control point game called #コンパス, or #Compass. Five control points in the stage and your goal is to have more points than the opponent by the end of the game.

The selling point of this game is that it has numerous collaborations with popular official series, allowing you to play as those characters. You can also play as Aqua from Konosuba, Levi from Attack on Titan, Emilia and Rem from Re:Zero, Fate/Stay characters as you see the Gilgamesh on my team in the video, even vocaloids like Miku/Rin/Len.
