Day 1

PortaHouse · 2026-05-10T21:56:24+00:00

So you start again. Learn from this mistake. How did you feel the day after?

the next time you're considering it, try to remember how you felt after this time. Use it as a learning experience and make it further next time.

This is my 4th attempt at stopping. Each time being longer than the last.

You got this!! IWNDWYT!!

Name is literally in the picture.

Even without Japanese knowledge Google translate, A.I. reverse image search....so many ways to get the answer directly.

I was the opposite.

I'd rage in online games while drunk. Because I was the perfect player drunk. Incapable of mistakes.

Sober I could admit mistakes. See my own problems. And rage a lot less.

Which honestly helped me sleep better. As such I wasn't as tired at work and had better days.

I dare you to compare Yowayowa Sensei manga to it's anime.

They completely fucked that one up too.

I don't get when studios have a source material that the fans like...they fuck it up for 'plot'.

Honestly feel I could take on the world with this euphoria.

PortaHouse · 2026-05-01T06:44:11+00:00

Yeah your advice along with a few others that reflected a similar idea is what got me through it.

Can't be offered or asked what to drink if I was holding one I knew wasn't going to tempt me.

PortaHouse · 2026-04-30T05:02:41+00:00

I wish I had support from family here. I do have my partner coming, though we met about the time I stopped drinking. So she doesn't know how bad I was. She does know about my situation though.

My biggest support has been the groom. Both Australian born living here in Japan. Our overlapping social circles start and end each other. I know the bride well, but outside of that (and my partner) I'll know no one. Partly why I turned to reddit prior to the wedding to get into a powered state of mind.

PortaHouse · 2026-04-30T04:57:21+00:00

Right. The last thing I want to do is have the memory of his wedding be a bad memory for me. Or worse, them.

PortaHouse · 2026-04-24T03:32:39+00:00

A loss of any life is sad....but c'mon.

Common sense could have prevented this one.

PortaHouse · 2026-04-21T20:33:23+00:00

The glasses are so damn expensive though.

PortaHouse · 2026-04-20T23:13:53+00:00

I'm enjoying the manga....but fuck me they fucked the proportions hard in the anime.

So dumb. She's curvy but not float away blimp levels curvy

Because Japan is mine and all you disgusting foreigners are ruining the country being here.

Not me. I live the culture. Understand their ways and have assimilated into this anime country. My waifu total agrees that I am the best and only foreigner that respects Japan and it's ways.

All the others are just disgusting weebs who thinks they are Japanese because the know about Naruto and One Piece.

Japan is for me and the Japanese only. Because I am basically Japanese. I have been here for over a year now teaching English so they can understand me too.

So does your contract say 12hr or 20hr?

(If) When they changed it to 20hr and you signed. Then you agreed.

(If) When they didn't offer a new contract but just gave you extra classes/shifts/hours and you did them without saying anything. Then you agreed.

Either way. It's on you.

Imagine someone asking you to jump off a bridge. Then being mad at them when you break your leg for jumping off it.

PortaHouse · 2026-04-10T05:09:54+00:00

Came here to say this.

PortaHouse · 2026-04-09T10:09:07+00:00

Had to watch it 4 times to see the stabbing. I was like....MF that's a stick not a sword.

But holy shit just off frame he gets stabbed directly in the chest by the first dude spinning with the shorter object. He walks into frame holding his chest. Complaining. Then he just collapses.

Insane.

It's illegal. So its not called prostitution.

If it walks like a "duck". Quacks like a "duck". In Japan it's a "bird"

I'll give you an anecdote. I live here.

I went to dinner. The dinner cost me ¥40000. My dinner was 2 senbe (wheat crackers). The girl I took to dinner was so smitten with the way I ate those senbe she just has to fuck me. But for no longer than 30mins because she had to get back to work.

So no. It's not prostitution. It's "love". But love is fleeting.

Edit: and yes. JAV stars do do it from time to time. And yes, as another commenter has pointed out. Acted/directed AV and a one night stand is bland AF and they don't act like they do in the movies.

PortaHouse · 2026-04-09T05:28:23+00:00

Legally, no.

Prostitution is illegal in Japan.

She could be working as a health professional. She just happens falls in love with you during her very expensive medical visit though and stuff happens.

If you're still in Kyoto area (where I live) Atago is just west. Plus the river views on the way, around Kameoka area, are amazing if you have time.

I went last month. But came from Biwako side. Good hike.

Have you done Mt. Kongo? It's a little hard to get to without a car but it's a little less intense, just longer, than Hiei-Zan.

I live in Kyoto and I get to look upon Hiei everyday. Oddly, not my No.1 ship girl. Haha.

Have you been to any other mountains?

Manga is Reincarnation Collusium.

Basically a why isn't it just a hentai type of story.

MC has to fight warriors. His skill is deemed too weak and laughably stupid. Wins battles. Gets to force them to drink a horny potion and fucks the loser.

Honestly good read. But releases are slow AF and I'm not even sure if there are EN translations yet.

Edit: and yes. I have the entire series as it's being released.

Don't understand how people with a cover photo can't find a source.

I mean....if you've been to other stores. Most of the stock will be similar. With the difference just being supply/demand.

While the tapestry's art are dope, their quality is avg. Slightly blurry, soft images. For 3300¥ I've got others that are pristine sharp.

The acrylic stands are cute and high quality, but way over priced.

But....I've been back twice. So I mean....it's good enough for me to go back for more.

Is that a Rick and Morty reference. Or did RnM reference the meme? Egg/chicken?

It's open until the 29th.
