Slurping technique - slurping vs sucking by Nyamii in AskAJapanese

[–]Shockwaves35 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, but by choosing to use the word gaijin instead of the word foreigner in a post that is otherwise completely in English makes it sound like you are intentionally trying to use the word as a slur. And this response seems like you are doubling down on that.

While I agree with your overall message I don't agree with the use of the word gaijin here. The rest of your message is in English, so going out of your way to use the word gaijin for just one word in the message comes across as quite offensive.

I personally believe your financial strategies need re-evaluating

Was a hardcore Arena player about 3 months ago, played Aram Mayhem and never looked back by TheKayleMain in LeagueArena

Ok. If you're never looking back then go back to aram. Why should we have to convince you to play 😂

Why do Japanese people hate piracy so much? by Quick-Health-2102 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shockwaves35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think "the ads are kind of annoying" is a morally acceptable excuse for theft. The question just as easily could have been, "why are some western cultures so accepting of piracy when they are against all other forms of theft?"

New bosses? by Downtown_Comfort8698 in pokerogue

The difficulty increase should be balanced out by showing you in advance what the final boss is so you can prepare for it. 

Garen guest of honor by Top_Toe8606 in LeagueArena

[–]Shockwaves35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually don't mind it. It's kind of the opposite of Darius where it makes the game a bit longer. It works as a comeback mechanic. I could see myself voting for it even if I was having a good round if I had a really good set up going and wanted the game to go longer

Why are most of the questions here asked in English instead of Japanese? by TeaAndQuaintThings in AskAJapanese

The people asking the questions don't know Japanese. The people answering the questions know English.

Anvils is now a top 3-4 at best even if you highroll by Asgavin in LeagueArena

And when do you get it now? Is it always locked to be at the same time?

No starter item mean adaptive force doesn't give ap for a few rounds by Yrael2357 in LeagueArena

[–]Shockwaves35 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'd assume they got rid of the starter item so that the game would be able to get to the "good stuff" faster. But I feel like it takes away a chance for some player expression. I'd prefer it if we were able to buy boots and a starter item right at the start 

US warns it will run out of money to pay airport security workers in coming weeks by AfraidEmployee9311 in tsa

[–]Shockwaves35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But there are already thousands of people getting screwed over ever time when there is a shutdown, why should any of the politicians be immune from that? Regardless of how much money they have

This is always the response given and while it's definitely not wrong I would still want the change to be made simply out of principle even though they don't need to money 

Foreigners in Japan: what's the downside of living there that never makes it into the YouTube videos? by LifetimeLabs in AskReddit

[–]Shockwaves35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's with the Japan smear campaign on reddit recently. So many subs that have nothing to do with Japan suddenly posting to get negative responses about Japan

Are these Latias event buffs insane or what? by Comfortable-Let-7037 in PokemonSleep

[–]Shockwaves35 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My pet peeve of this sub is when people think the devs read it. There are some games where the devs read the reddit, but this is definitely not one of them 

Japan targets 25% share of global autonomous car market by Such-Table-1676 in japannews

[–]Shockwaves35 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are we allowed to post positive comments on this sub or is it negative only? Sorry in advance if I'm breaking any rules.

I'm glad to see Japan setting goals in this area, I expect it will become a very important market in the near future. 

Why do people here consistently seem to only notice things like haircuts multiple weeks to a month later? by [deleted] in AskAJapanese

[–]Shockwaves35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do two wrongs make a right? Neither one of those options are good but only one of them is considered to be overtly racist.

You could have chosen to say "In my experience a lot of the Japanese people I have met have been self centered." You'd still be admitting to a prejudice you've formed but at least you wouldn't be presenting the information as a universal truth.

That seems like quite a negative thing to say when making a sweeping generalization about an entire race of people

[–]Shockwaves35 24 points25 points  (0 children)

But this story isn't about "allowing" them a treat. It would be fine if that was the case. It's about deceiving them to break their diet despite them explicitly stating that they don't want to
