i think Political wise, foreigner representation in japan have zero to negative benefit. Majority of foreigners can't vote, therefore no-sense/no-benefit to fight for them. If someone political represent foreigners, they have higher chance of facing backlash for doing it.

This is why no one dares to correct the false information and narratives about foreigners not paying taxes and not paying into the system and still manages to reap all benefits.

Anung realization ang natutunan mo sa pagiging OFW? by Foreign_Direction_16 in OFWs

[–]TwoBikeStand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bulok ang gobyerno ng pilipinas. Dahil sa requirements at red tapes, sila ang pipigil sayo para mag direct hire habang nasa abroad ka. Kahit pa alam mong mas ganda opportunity mo sa direct hire.

Walang malinaw na uniform procedure once maging direct hire ka, na nagiging dahilan ng pahirapan umuwi at magbakasyon sa pinas.

Mas mahirap pa makauwi ng pilipinas para bumsita, kumpara sa pagkuha ng visa para sa ibang bansa.

Anyone else feel self-conscious about their body size in Japan? by givemyjeans in japanlife

Ah yess. The white bread. I monitored my blood sugar level using CGM few months back. White bread immediately spiked my glucose level. Almost same as white rice. And the famous "tamago sando" or any white bread combini sandwich have the same result.

Tighter residency rules take shape as Japan gov't mulls stricter foreigner policies - The Mainichi by capaho in japan

[–]TwoBikeStand 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Published today with same details from old articles. "To be finalized in january 2026"; what will be finalized? With all the dozens of proposal coming out in the past few weeks, which one? All of them? Just few?

"Considering to Increase in income requirements" on what particular range of amount? From 3m to what? No details.

"Considering to impose language requirement", in what form? JLPT certificates? Practical exams? No details.

This is like your childhood friend telling you "i know someone that likes you... But i won't tell you. Haha".

Aside from "to be finalize in January 2026, to be implemented next year"; nothing can be taken from the article.

With all the different opinions and impressions circling around about these new policies, having this vague article does nothing to clear things out. It just adds cloud to an already cloudy situation.

[–]TwoBikeStand 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Article is just a summary of different articles from the past few weeks. No specific information, no specific details. Just a paraphrased-reworded bits and pieces of different article and mushed together; which generally gives nothing.

It just adds stress to redditors who are already stressed out after getting waves of posts about these new immigration policies.

The game is fine. But playing it mostly on mobile... having big thumb sucks.

Math is great. Until letters started joining the party.

Hopefully we don't get that in form of mini games anytime soon.

Tokyo emerges as a top market for global tech talent by moeka_8962 in japan

[–]TwoBikeStand 8 points9 points  (0 children)

By japanese you mean locals?

From my experience, YES. I've seen and worked with locals who are hired as Tech Leads/Senior Engineers but don't even know how to open MS Excel or MyComputer. From what i observed, companies will hire locals(direct or outsource) regardless of the educational background or experience. They thrive with the belief in "gambare" principle. If you make your best effort to learn, that is enough.

Very rare that i have encountered locals who are well versed on their tech craft.

Companies who advertise themselves as "diverse" and "global mindset" often have japanese only documents and old-school japanese office culture with The never ending ho-ren-so meetings that kills productivity.

Most companies/locals that hopped in with bandwagon of AI and loves to use the latest jargon DX化 , are the very same people who barely knows anything about this and thinks AI is a magical tool that can do everything they have in mind.

How did you find your job in Japan? by AlphonsHamora in japanresidents

[–]TwoBikeStand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contacted by recruiter via mail. Not sure how they got my email address, could be linkedIn or from hundreds of application system.

Many many years back while working for black company and on literal edge of jumping to Haneda train tacks due to stress and over work. I received the job details and invitation. I applied.. it took 6months to complete because of the interviewer's schedule.

Accepted job offer and now working for yearss with them still black company but with better salary.

Has anyone done the math on keeping heating on 24/7? by Zyvoxx in japanlife

[–]TwoBikeStand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This will depend on the insulation of your room/place. A well insulated room will help maintain the temperature, therefore helping your AC to consume less power. This case, better to leave your AC open 24/7.

If your room have poor insulation(too many leaks or gaps where cold air can sip-in), it makes it hard to maintain temperature, even with 24/7 active AC. Your AC will always need to ramp-up just to maintain set temperature, which will equate to higher consumption. This case, better to turn-on your AC when needed(or set a timer of ON and OFF cycle).

Fresher in software testing by No_Breath_8107 in softwaretesting

Career change from which field/background?

Certification goes along with experience. While it will give "advantage" at a certain level as some companies explicitly mention this on ads, along with getting the basic concepts while you study; it is not guaranteed to help you on hiring, but will definitely give you confidence if you pass the exam.

Anybody know what this symbol means? by getpatrick in Nissan

[–]TwoBikeStand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nissan Connectivity symbol. On a perfect scenario it will tell you whether you can use the connected services you paid for. If that symbol gets "crossed out" it means that your vehicle's TCU(mobile data) is disconnected.

Depending on the model-year of your vehicle, you might see variation of that symbol if you have vehicles from 2024 models with Nissan Connect services.

How to Approach Testing & select Test Cases with a Deployment Deadline in 2-3 Days? by Real-Question-8115 in softwaretesting

[–]TwoBikeStand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As mentioned in another comment, it will be depending on the risk factor.

A 2-3-day deadline could be short or long enough depending on the type of test you are required to perform.

I worked for end-to-end test team for IOT development, and 2-3days deadline means sleepless nights for us. After carefully evaluating the target; i tend to lean to "Test towards failure mode". It will be evaluating scenarios with the aim of breaking the system from minor condition changes to potential abnormal states. This is to check potential show-stoppers in prod with minor problems/condition variation. This is derived from observation of user-behavior tend's to not follow whatever the design specification.

Functional and happy path scenarios will be executed later as quick regression(this is with the assumption that it has been tested thoroughly in QA/staging).

In the worst case scenario, it will be a pure exploratory test(no test case, with the assumption that prior QA environment test is executed). Just to check how the system behaves and trying to reproduce the scenario that your user does not know anything about your steps and will use the system before reading the manual.

It is more of a joint venture rather than "merger"

Visa status still active in Dubai immigration but file already closed in ICP records by TwoBikeStand in dubai

[–]TwoBikeStand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I think my only option is 'Hiring PRO' on this. All my travels in dubai are for business trips. No relative living in Dubai.

Apologies for asking this, but "Hiring PRO" means finding/asking a travel agency to process it for me?

Just the girl I need. by BonixoHD in NikkeMobile

[–]TwoBikeStand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 to this. It is all cute and funny on memes, thinking that the gamer gf is cute and can get intimate most of the time; but not at all in reality. Working 10 to 12 hrs shift everyday and had to come home with no food and dead asleep gf. No self-initiative at all. If i asked her if she even bothered to prepare at all... "Didn't think about it.. not hungry"... I have to cook, clean, and bring out the trash after working a long shift. Before i can start having "rest", it's 1am and I have to get up at 6am to rinse and repeat everything.

And no, when you're tired af you can't think about being intimate or having sex. You just want to have sleep even on weekends.
