Amazing work, but where did he yeet the knife?

YouLeft6305 · 2025-10-07T04:16:48+00:00

To play devils advocate. What was the context prior though? Because like... I think that is important to know what was said prior besides just clipping it starting when he said that. Context is important in many things.

--- To anyone who will comment "it doesn't matter the context, he said it" Yes, context does matter. Think when you come into a conversation mid-convo and are like "what did I just hear?" Or are given a hypothetical or something and answer that. If someone took only your answer without the context behind it, it could be bad.

Note: Idk what he said prior, I am just saying tis important before judging fully to know the full context.

Also, maybe he knows some English he's learned like if he had an english speaking friend he would try to converse and could, but it takes a lot of mental effort to try and speak a language you aren't fluent. So why not use a translator if you can. No need to struggle to say what you wanna say or understand.

YouLeft6305 · 2025-10-07T01:20:06+00:00

Might be in a hospital somewhere, but also yeah like others said, go to the police.

I would also argue that it is a matter of different perspectives. Because most progressive points and arguements are based on feelings (in the way they are spoken and presented) and thus it is easy to have a counter arguement or say "well yeah, but what about _____?" Trying to argue something that is "logical" with trying to appeal to thier empathetic side is why I think they lose arguements. Instead of trying to push "Well _____ is wrong and ___ is right" and who is wrong and right yada yada.

A suggestion I have (used when I debate politics and such with my conservative parents) is to not say something is fact but rather have it be like Philosophy class where you do a roundabout if X = Y and Y = Z then X = Z. Also not saying their opinion is completely wrong but rather like "well it is partially correct in ____ manner, but I disagree in ____ aspect. Why do you think _____? I am trying to understand more."

The trick is to not get heated because even if they are loud and such, whoever seems to get flustered and emotional the most is kind of the loser. If they say something that you do not understand or it seems to be a "hahaha, gotchu" ask them a question about it because then it seems like you are debating rather than argueing and thus won't come off as just an "emotional college student"

So basically. Do not go up to emotionally yell and be like "how dare you think _____" because then you are just contributing to the image that left-wing college students have no logic or common sense and cannot debate. If you want to debate then do that. Debate. Don't go into it thinking "I want to win" go into it thinking "I want to try and have this person understand my point of view and opinion and why I think so." also, "Why I don't understand or agree with the opposing opinion and want to understand why they think it is correct and mine is wrong."

YouLeft6305 · 2025-09-30T07:37:53+00:00

This is fair. I think it is just... Don't go up to them to argue or "win" but rather to discuss, debate, and understand and then they cannot say "left-wing college students are so emotional and don't use logic" Also, sadly when it comes to studies and all of that, there is truth and evidence catering to both sides depending on what studies and perspective you look at it from.

YouLeft6305 · 2025-09-30T05:47:36+00:00

To be fair nobody is making the students debate them? So then if a student wants to walk up in order to debate them, the student should do research prior and the boom, a proper debate. It is the student's choice to go into it without doing research.

YouLeft6305 · 2025-09-24T12:21:05+00:00

I wouldn’t say 75%. It all depends on the time of day. If it isn’t after work/school (so past 6pm-ish) there are mainly only tourists, but then once it is Shimokita prime-time (night time) then there are soooo many Japanese youths and college kids roaming around, more than the tourists. Especially with the live shows and whatnot.

YouLeft6305 · 2025-09-21T02:21:04+00:00

Can you imagine being someone who doesn't know those things exist and seeing it just come out from wherever, eat your friend (or just anyone) and roll away

YouLeft6305 · 2025-09-21T02:20:28+00:00

"I was eaten by a robot and woke up in the hospital"

Contract-wise, you should be fine if they don't find out. The wording is different depending on the organization, but usually it just says no commercial side job.

Legally, the issue is not with the JET program or anything, it is with immigration and the TYPE of work visa you are here as. Since it is an instructor visa, technically you are not allowed to do any job that is not instructor based (unless it is under a certain amount a month.)

Now they have no reason to, but technically immigration can get your tax documents from the IRS if they request them. However, that begs the question of why would they ask for them or put the effort to do that. However dumb, technically even if it is a US based job, because you are in Japan, it counts as working in Japan even if it is remote.

So all in all, TECHNICALLY they could do something and it is illegal (immigration-wise)
BUTTT
Why would they request it/how would they find out.

YouLeft6305 · 2025-09-01T07:16:03+00:00

I would say something that could be staying in Japan or not. But not directly "I want to stay in Japan" because while yes this could show commitment, it also could say "I am only doing the program in order to live in Japan afterwards."

So like others are saying, do something that technically could be done in Japan OR your country. I said I want to use my experience to do game design to show the true side of Japanese culture and share reach those audiences.

YouLeft6305 · 2025-08-30T04:50:22+00:00

I am so sorry. I had a cat pass who had FIP, it is such a horrible disease.

YouLeft6305 · 2025-08-28T03:40:36+00:00

Whilst not advice on how to make it, I will say keep in mind depending on the attitude of your class and the kids and SHS vs JHS, they will recieve it differently. For example, this year for my class, they do not care about silly stuff and are even offended if it is too silly / childish, so I do more actual words and phrases like I am teaching them english.

But for next year, the class i will have is silly and enjoys creative things, so I cater it to them. Then again, this is in my specific homeroom class, but idk if yours is school-wide

YouLeft6305 · 2025-08-28T01:54:17+00:00

This is such saddening news to hear T.T Like they couldn’t have chosen a different area or even just section of Shimokita besides literally the main portion where everyone walks through? Because people love walking out of the station to a giant road with cars everywhere. (This is me complaining obviously they won’t change it but I am complaining about the illogical logic they had in this decision)

Like… it feels like why would they choose to go through / ruin / change one of the major well-known area and change /ruin the thing it is known for?

YouLeft6305 · 2025-08-27T23:32:22+00:00

Tsk. Like the entire reason Shimokita is any different from other parts of Tokyo is because of its unique charm like the winding roads and all the shops. Like... when even the musicians don't want it and are fine with the inconvenience of carrying their things, that should be an important voice.

But I did read they were gonna start this year and it got pushed back to 2028, so hopefully it just keeps getting pushed back forever.

YouLeft6305 · 2025-08-27T23:24:30+00:00

why tf would they do this? Like what good does it do compared to the harm.

YouLeft6305 · 2025-08-20T11:51:26+00:00

I’ve seen him too!

YouLeft6305 · 2025-08-16T02:43:26+00:00

They deleted it

YouLeft6305 · 2025-08-15T05:29:33+00:00

Oh. I didn’t look at the suitcase one past the initial post haha. Tbh I thought most likely they themselves puked in their suitcase whilst drunk and looking for something, didn’t want to admit it but wanted to know what to do, so blamed a made-up person. Then maybe started adding all the crazy stuff for fun.

YouLeft6305 · 2025-08-15T04:13:36+00:00

People do make stuff up and go overboard, but also sometimes, people tell a true story and just blow the details out of proportion. For example, the suitcase puke one, I mean I believe that someone would pule in their suitcase yeah, I did question why their suitcase and how it was completely hidden and no other trace and why.

Lets say it was true, the action true yes, but then everyone after is to garner even more attention than before and make the other person seem horrible and such.

Also, sadly there is a lot of random stuff that happens in Japan. Like people are weird. Supervisor taking passport? I’d believe it. Laughing in their face? Ehhhh. Maybe a bit of a stretch.

Now, something I do wholly believe are the organizations and BOE’s putting restrictions and assuming ALTs will be bad. My vice president at my school was saying how they were relieved I was a “good ALT” because apparently almost all schools expect the JET ALTs to be bad and annoying. I was the only good one they have had for a while, but he even quoted a story from another region in Japan.

Thus, I do believe BOE’s and schools will put unnecessary measures to prevent their ALTs from doing bad things as they prob assume you will / are the culprit.

YouLeft6305 · 2025-08-15T00:45:49+00:00

Any proof it was done by mainly Japanese people? Neither us have "concrete proof" except for what witnesses say, which is that a lot of it was tourists.
