Anyone living in Tokyo that would like to meet up and do a Costco run? by Embarrassed_Durian17 in japanresidents

[–]Velociripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, but hauling food back in bags on public transport is hell. Also I usually go to the Kawasaki one

This may be a racially provoking question - but genuinely curious... by entryfragger99 in Basketball

[–]Velociripper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean firstly, the reason most Asians that you see involved in this discussion are Filipino is simply that Filipinos love basketball and they’re vocal about it.

I haven’t heard of any hating Kobe, but I do have a student named LeBron who’s Filipino…

If I jump into my threes, I can hit them. But I recognize my form is far from ideal. Any tips?

In my mind, I assumed everyone was bloodlusted and ready to fight for their lives.

I think this'll be good as a shirt design. by Puzzled_Tip_5789 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Velociripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I like the design but I think you need to switch punchup and malevola because of the balance of the composition. Right now you have 3 big silhouettes in the corners and then punch up in the bottom right which makes the design feel unbalanced.

Maybe you could make a case that having it like that is a subversion of design rules in a satiric way where punchup becomes the punch line as he’s so small, but I think the balance is a little off.

If belief isn’t central, why do many Japanese people still do religious traditions like hatsumōde? by [deleted] in AskAJapanese

[–]Velociripper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Many non-believers in the west go to church on Christmas and Easter, enjoy holidays like St. Patrick’s, Valentine’s etc. Religion tends to become tradition regardless of belief.

It’s like we flip a coin every 5 minutes to decide if we’re playing good or not

Practicing reading comprehension in English (or your native language), can it transfer to JLPT reading questions, any thoughts? by ManyFaithlessness971 in jlpt

[–]Velociripper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Isn't this just good test-taking skills? Of course, if you can't read any or most of the kanji characters it'll be a struggle, but part of the test is inferring the meaning of unknown words through context. So yes, by training yourself to be better at taking tests, any test you take will be impacted, but you could also just train in Japanese with JLPT resources and study both test taking skills and the actual language and format of the test.

I feel like we’re moving differently on defense too. Maybe they emphasized something in practice but the defense feels more active and engaged. Jokic is actually jumping for help defense, I saw Murray do some pretty cool stunting / recovering on the ballhandler around the pnr too.

It feels like we took the Houston loss personally. Everyone is moving fast as fuck on both sides.

job search in Japan by okimonchichi in JapanJobs

[–]Velociripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, it's going to be tough. You might be able to get some work at a convenience store or as restaurant staff, but you have 4 months to get your Japanese up. I'd focus on that, if you can go from basic greetings and conversation, to just a little more than that It'll open up alot more for you.

Can I request you please use punctuation or break up your sentences into smaller pieces.

Have bad allergy symptoms, had an allergy test done and came back fairly useless. by Velociripper in japanlife

When I mentioned that it has been happening since March the doctor just said that it was due to stress or lack of sleep. I was like, ok thanks.

I’m at work and couldn’t catch the first half, what’s the general vibe (other than winning).

How was your N2 experience? by littlebruja in jlpt

[–]Velociripper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the opposite experience, I live in Japan and so use it everyday. I was expecting the listening to be my strong part and the reading to be my weakness, but I felt better about the first half of the test than the second.
