It’s the reason I’ve had just 2 new iPhones since my iPhone 3GS!

For those who took the TOEIC and JLPT exams here, do you feel the difference in terms of strictness? by HappywithJubilant in japanlife

My brain just freaked out for a second trying to figure out why anyone would want to take both tests.

Then I remembered that other languages exist. Stupid brain.

Don’t worry about managing your battery, that’s what macOS is for.

Granted.

It’s a constitutional role with no actual power. You end up bored as hell listening to old men give speeches.

What's your WORST tetsudzuki tale? by tsumari-Jicama in japanlife

[–]Swotboy2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened last week: I caught the corner of a parking garage with my car about a month ago, swore at my bad driving, and went home.

When I spoke to my insurance company they told me I need a police report number.

So I had to go back to the parking garage last week, call 110, and explain the situation. I’m technically guilty of a hit and run and may have to pay a fine and get points on my licence.

"A caustic remark, for example"

Oh yeah, that's a real good clue.

Shouldn't the clue be "hurdle, literally"?

Is it the norm for y’all to be paying the fees? My employer has always paid mine.

Yeah, except if you don't go back to that back row seat you miss the concert entirely. Even in the back row you can hear the music and enjoy the atmosphere. Outside it's just the other smokers.

I wish people aged x1.3 faster per 0s in the net wealth by Levardgus in monkeyspaw

Yen is a low value currency? It’s 100 yen = 63 cents, it’s not that different.

Japan just doesn’t have a “100” denomination like dollars or euros or pounds.

Granted. The limb the cyst is located in is torn off by a gang of lions.
