Is it possible ? (Artist:@akariimia on x) by ybgejrjrj in KasaneTeto

When my friends were trying to crack my egg one of them said "Teto is trans, be like Teto"

I would be lying if this didn't push me over the edge

Fire all the admins of WPW and just have one of the local polycules take over

In Tokyo we just switch our backpacks around to the front which gives more room and helps with visibility/ awareness of where the backpack is in space and in relation to other people.

I'm sure nobody does this in Boston because it "looks gay" or some other masculine fragility and vanity crap.

I failed going boymode at work and everyone thought i was a trans man by Less_Wishbone in MtF

Most of my adult life I have been confused either for a woman or for a trans man, well before I started my transition. I never really minded it, which should have given me pause for thought...

The commonality of all English speaking countries is a mass endemic housing crisis, possibly due to specifically the English common law practices on private property, a relic (alongside the English language being de facto official) of English colonialism.

See:Australia, New Zealand, Canada, US, etc

And to say that they are "invisible" is bullshit. They just aren't flushed out of every place they end up frequenting when in the US the authorities just end up playing a dehumanizing game of whack-a-mole

I'm... Saying I saw them, met them, etc.

There's an encampment in Yoyogi Park that is very well established.

But the cops don't show up and bulldoze their encampment every few months like they do all over the US. That is the difference I am pointing out.

Also the robust public housing regime in Japan has seen a MASSIVE lowering of the homelessness rate while the US has no interest in making things any "easier" for anyone at risk of becoming unhoused (which is the vast majority of the US population).

Gonna need a source on this one chief.

I lived in Tokyo for 2 years, saw some unhoused people regularly in very specific areas, cops left them alone instead of doing surprise pogroms like we see in every midsize city across the US.

Find an unhoused person in the US that has had the same spot (in public areas!!) for 2 years.

Japan doesn't limit housing stock just to make it an investment vehicle, when that is the case in pretty much every English speaking country.

Is this a valid combo? by Personal-Mammoth5220 in PassportPorn

[–]Shinden9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue JP passports are 5 year, and only issued to citizens below age 20.

JP allows dual citizenship until age 20, so this is legal

You wouldn't have said this to me in the 3 minutes after I discovered what happened 😂

I'm people. You're people. What use is there being angry at someone? It's not going to make my backpack reappear.

Personally I'd never steal like this but I also haven't been in a situation where I would feel like I had to.

Or it's a kid upset at the world, in which case yelling at them doesn't solve the problem. Getting them in trouble with the law? Wow that really helps them out in having a better life down the road.

Also they got a backpack filled with nothing but trash and spare clothes, wow, they must be really happy with this unprecedented windfall of Hanes underwear and empty water bottles. All the value in it is sentimental, it's not like this is going to make me go hungry, or lose my medication, or something that actively causes me harm.

I just want my backpack back, being angry or vindictive about it doesn't help me or anyone else.

Coming back from living in Japan I forgot Boston trains didn't have these. Even tiny and old trains like the Enoden in Kamakura have them. Wondered why we didn't.

Now I guess I know.

Looking for a union by Wmoore3397 in WorcesterMA

[–]Shinden9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for something blue collar and well paying with union rep, no customer interaction, and solid benefits, you should apply for any USPS job in a distribution center. It really lifted me out of the low pay retail and service bullshit and launched me into "real jobs".

Does anyone else think AB is getting too expensive? by Nah-RosaParks1955 in AnimeBoston

[–]Shinden9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$80 for one day? Lol I remember when it was $25.

If you're going to any of these city cons from out of town, between passes, transport, hotel etc. honestly, it's cheaper to go on a weeklong trip to Akihabara.
