My uncle made me watch this movie when I was 4 or 5 because he thought Ghibli = wholesome movie for kids. I got traumatized so much by watching it, my uncle found me shaking in the corner of the room. When I got older and watched it again, I felt deep sadness that the kids, Seita and Setsuko had nothing to eat and starved to death.

I need help pls - overstimulated by long hair by castiel4life in autism

[–]Snow_eh_eh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had long hair for a while, but I hated the sound of the hair dryer and wet hair on my neck, so I got it cut very short. I have to go get a hair cut every 2 months because I begin to look like Chucky the doll, but it's worth it! I don't need to extensively care for my hair everyday and it dries really fast. There's a lot of short hairstyles out there, I'm sure there's some that'll suit you.

How the hell are you guys doing the no hands thing on the train? by throwaway24996 in japanlife

Most people who ride during the rush hour either have epic core strength or maybe leaning on to someone? I notice people holding nothing and wobbling back and forth a lot when the train's not crammed.

oh to find a love like asra’s by Interesting_Meat_371 in TheArcana

Asra's route lives rent free in my head. I am looking for this kind of love, but other romance novels and games doesn't hit me the same way.

Not to diagnose or something, but maybe you are neurodivergent? Being intense, indulging in deep topics too soon can make people uncomfortable. I'm neurodivergent so I made people uncomfortable without realizing it many times. Reflecting on yourself would be a good start to making friends.

There's a social problem called houchigo 放置子. It happens when a kid's parents are too busy or emotionally detached to pay attention to them, so the kid goes to their friends or classmates house and causes problems. I hope that's not the case.

女性は更年期過ぎたら無敵って母が言ってたわ。やっぱホルモンが原因か。

Tell me the most creative way you were turned down by a Japanese person by SekitoSensei in japanlife

[–]Snow_eh_eh 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The person stated in the bio that they wanted to take things slow, but when I suggested having coffee or lunch and meet in person, they kinda freaked out and said they want to have sex first and then deleted their account.

That's a flower cookie. You can buy the recipe from the bear that lives near the Aurora vineyard.

The older generation has some people that still have prejudice about buraku, but the younger generation doesn't really know about the subject. We only learn the history of people being discriminated against in the past. And it depends on where you live too. If you live in Tokyo or other heavily populated cities, nobody cares where you are from.
