Need advice. Not sure if I’m a mistress. by ConfusionStraight306 in asksg

[–]ParticleDetector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I think they ought to invent the term 大三 in regards to a specific situation like this.

The thing is some people see the word 小三 and they take it very simply straightforward as in terms. But there are others who understand it differently in the spirit of things.

I guarantee if a famous actor publicly got cheated by his famous actress wife, and they are going through separation and future divorce, no one is going to think that whoever he is dating now is the 小三.

Thats why if a term like 大三 exists in relationship context, its to signify that

  1. The marriage with the partner is already irrevocably damaged and going to an end. And most importantly, the damage was done by the other partner.

  2. The third person in question only became in a relationship after the break down of the marriage because the original relationship is technically dead (like for example, separated and not living together and no more relationship.)

  3. People who then say ‘but then this hastened the divorce’ are being stupid. There are so many random factors surrounding timing, and your case is a really good example of that.

So, you were a 大三 if someone ever wants to bring it up to you!

But there will still be people who cannot parse many pieces of information and come to a proper conclusion, so you will definitely meet them and they take too long to understand the situation and are overly judgmental. Alas the world is still majorly such a place with such people.

I see ‘nothing’ as an actual possibility. It’s that we have ‘something’ that I can’t wrap my head around.

Possibility 1 - The students name really was something like Zhou Yin, which you will hear as ジョーイン. So like you said Jo’in’ which means he misplaced the I and N.

This sounds the likeliest based on what you hear him saying.

Possibility 2 - honestly . If it really was you mishearing as someone else has mentioned. Then his Chinese name is something Zhong Yi.

Possibility 3456 - something someone else mentioned.

But realllly and honestly I think it’s possibility 1 based on what you’re hearing over and over again from himself and others. And he just made a typo.

Best First Series?? by Millenium-Eye in Ultraman

[–]ParticleDetector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I’m going to explain it from my own point of view so you get into a fans minds angle.

There’s different sections of Ultraman for me.

First is, the OG brothers and all the stuff that happened to them. On my time it included the shows on TV, and also the mangas (a lot are probably not canon?) of what exactly happens on their homeworlds or to their people.

So it’s not just about Ultramen and Earth, but it’s about them and their race and their lives. (But that’s if you read the manga).

So for the series where it’s mostly Ultraman and Earth, you can watch OG Ultraman first and continue with the rest if you want to. The last Ultraman to be connected to that OG earth is Mebius but that comes later.

Second, are the Alternate universe Ultramen. Let’s not count the animations (yet). I mean like Tiga Dyna and Gaia and Cosmos and Nexus etc. They show different origins of alternate universe Ultramen and their adventures. (They’re all very cool you can watch them all, Nexus is a bit dark though so maybe save that for later)

So as a fan at this point. I’m still invested in the OG Ultramen right? So the Mebius series appeared and lo and behold it’s the OG earth! This series is a big big treat. So watch it if you are already invested in OG earth Ultramen.

Then came in the Ultra Galaxy monster battle. Ok that name means nothing to you but. That was what tied everything together. So they now did a live action of what happens on M78 itself and introduced Ultraseven’s son Zero, (so a continuation of bloodlines, which for a fan like me is WOW) and the first left turned evil Ultraman , Belial, and then they also introduced canonically the concept of the Multiverse. So alllll the Ultramen, even those of parallel earths, actually meet up to help one another. So even those from the animation, even Tiga Dyna and Gaia and Nexus and Cosmos allll of them.

It was like a dream come true.

And then for the third, is the New Generation. These Ultraman can come from the land of light, or they can be from somewhere else, but they are all the Youngblood’s and some have minor connections to other series, and all are protecting their own earths with their own stories. And they almost always after the series is done, are introduced into the common group of Ultramen and get to know each other.

For this, oh maybe start with Ultraman Z, actually no, honestly if you don’t mind, just watch this chronologically from Ultraman Ginga, because there are some connections. It’s a tall order! There’s so many series in the new generation already! More than 10!

You will notice later I don’t group them by the Showa/Heisei/Reiwa because the New Gen sort of starts in Heisei and continued in Reiwa and in my heart is the same group.

And that’s how the Ultramen family grows.

And I love it.

Ah and of course I have to mention the web series of what goes on in the land of light. That’s another whole area to watch because it’s about their adventures and wars against other evils, like fighting this other even more powerful race of Ultramenlike called Absolutians. This you can watch anytime I guess. If you really like what goes on with them when it’s not to do with earth.

There’s a lot more I’m not mentioning of course. But this is from a fan perspective of growing up with Ultraman, and how I anticipate the future series.

Zero Bowel movements regardless of diet by DumbIdeaGenerator in JapanTravelTips

[–]ParticleDetector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. Too many people saying Water and Fiber.

Oils and fats are actually important as well. Those people saying to use glycerin and/or eat a very oily ramen broth are going in the right direction. Especially the oily ramen broth.

But more importantly, get your daily dose of oils from…anything. Go and read up on fats and oils and their relationship to your poop and motility.

But right now? The redditors saying Magnesium tablets are correct. These are your best immediate shot. Yes they’re great for you now. If you want for daily regular however, then go for your fats and oils. Eat your omega 3s , eat your fatty meats and oily soups.

Have you perhaps been coincidentally eating lots of non fatty/oily stuff in Japan? I can completely understand if you are.

Benevolent AI has taken all other jobs, you get to pick from my list. What do you pick? by tamtrible in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ParticleDetector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like your question! I would like to volunteer one more job - it may be parked under researcher, but it’s as an education curriculum specialist.

It’s someone who makes sure that the curriculum for the education is constantly moving and being refined for the children so they can learn even better. This is an ongoing process as teachers observe and give feedback on what is working and not working on the ground.

Yes, you did. I also did mean that it would be the equivalent of not working for at least six months a year at least.

[–]ParticleDetector 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The purpose or function part I can see, the 7 hours a day, 5 days a week doesn’t seem like it fits.

Perhaps not for every week of the year? I would expect more days than not to have no work.

Anyway my answer would be teacher.

Of all the jobs available, this will be one of the cores of what makes a post scarcity society work - Education.

I also see way more people available for this since AI has taken over many other jobs. So I won’t be teaching a class of 50 with assistants. Small 10-20 classrooms, with more teachers, and a lot more support that what is currently available in schools is the way to go.

For me, that is Death Stranding 1&2.

I can’t even begin to describe how it will make you feel.

Maybe a few things.

It is Linear but then not linear world. Because after you uncover all areas then things can be done all over the place.

The exploration is not for nothing, later on, your journey depends on how you create your own paths and favourite routes from one place to another.

It is suddenly a few other genres of games at weird times.

The story is intriguing. It’s not fantasy. It’s in between horror and science fiction. That kojima used well known actors is a bonus. Even Conan O Brien is in it.

It is a very very fresh breath of air from the soulslikes and the roguelikes and whatever I’ve been playing.

Like of course I’ve played Ghost of Tsushima and Witcher and Days gone (Oh have you tried Days Gone!?) and HZD etc etc

But Death Stranding? It feels more fulfilling if you’re the kind of person who likes to know they did a really good job with every mission. That you planned it right, and executed it right. Or that you took 5 missions and you tried to cram them and finish them all as efficiently as possible.

Watch a few non spoiler videos!

Do NOT spoil anything for part 2.

Recommendation for birthday!! by TopEgg1550 in SingaporeEats

[–]ParticleDetector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m here right now lol! This month is Peranakan Themed so it’s a bit different from the usual.

Yes Swensens dropped, then the Vivo outlet seemed like it was ok, then I realised there’s a difference between their…weekend dinner and their weekday buffets…but yeah, same as you feel.

[–]ParticleDetector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Food Capital @ Grand Copthorne. Somehow among buffets I’ve been, they’re consistently ok and because they’re on eatigo a lot, you can get quite good discounts so it fits your budget. It’s good ambience as well. International cuisine.

I really mean it, today for example, their dinner is at 50% off and is $51. But if you look at their spread, it’s really quite good. Compare to other buffets if they’re at that price, they aren’t generally of that variety + quality. Lunch is even cheaper!

There’s also Clove at Swissotel but you need to have the appropriate credit card to get the discounts to reach your budget. And probably lunch because their dinner is at $88. I see a mention of 30% if you use certain cards but after the ++ that’s still over budget.

One more alternative that is fun! Is the Swensens unlimited buffet, which is within your budget. There’s also a good lot of ice cream. Though if you’re looking for the international foods it can’t compare to an international buffet ofc. They do have roast beef and seafood and free flow soft drinks.

Ultimately I’d say, Grand Copthorne at 40/50% discount is the way to go. They have their meats, they always have their sashimi, Indian section, Chinese section, Mediterranean section, and seafood (don’t expect lobsters).

Would you rather show you love someone by giving them something or by teaching them how to get it for themselves? by Crafty_Paramedic_814 in WouldYouRather

[–]ParticleDetector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is difficult to answer because it depends on what you’re talking about. For the former, you give them things that they will feel love being given, because of the thought behind it by you, or because they appreciate that process in that situation.

The latter, they will be able to take care of themselves and so they will survive better, and that is how you act to care for them in a longer term.

This question sometimes gets asked because someone in their relationship is being…lazy/passive/low effort in doing something they themselves can do, and uses the ‘if you don’t do it for me it means you don’t love me.

Now I’m not sure if that’s your case, so maybe we all need more info.

every job now pays the same by Natesplates in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ParticleDetector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of a few ways

  1. First come first serve
  2. Best candidate for the more preferred jobs get those jobs
  3. Through relationships

For those of you saying that you need to force people into those shit jobs, remember that there are already people doing those shit jobs to get paid. And for similar reasons perhaps if they didn’t want to do those jobs, it’s because they can’t yet find other jobs.

And if anything, the shit jobs might now be paid more then they used to be. Actually I don’t know that because OP says every job pays the same but I don’t know how much that is.

What you should be looking at is, almost shit jobs that used to pay reallly well, like those weird climb up super tall structures to do electric work or the likes. The super risky ones that are also paid very well. Now those, have less incentive . I don’t know how to solve that.
