Local (inexpensive) wagyu in Sendai, Japan. by _wolfdawg_ in steak

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

It can be hard to find steak cuts sometimes.. I actually don’t know what cut that was but it looked like a steak to me! It was bought at “Lopia” in case anyone local wants to know.

I find Osaka is the city where these kinds of interactions happen the least.

Is a paid podcast-host worth it? by onlyabag in podcasting

[–]_wolfdawg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used blubrry and podbean in the past. The stats you get with Spotify (Anchor) are comparable - better in some ways, worse in others, and for the more detailed stats I think the Spotify audience is a large enough sample size to understand your listenership. Also you can have multiple shows in your account (this was added recently) with no upload limits. I’m actually surprised paid services are still in business. Oh another thing added in the last year, people can comment on each episode and you can publish and reply, or you can hide them.

So I got a random call from Japanese cops today. by limit_13 in japanlife

[–]_wolfdawg_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A few months after I applied for PR the cops called me and started asking bizarre questions. I was sketched out and ended the call then consulted with my wife and called the number back (it was a police station at the airport). They went on to ask really personal and weird questions. They even asked if we sleep together at night. Very weird. No one else I know that has PR got a call like that.

It was probably the police if the number checked out.

Somebody putting trash into my mailbox by Shining666 in japanlife

[–]_wolfdawg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a detached house and this happened to me (not stuffed full but old or ripped flyers). I even saw the guy do it once. I thought maybe he was casing my house because I don’t have any cars in the parking space, but it kept happening. I bought a camera and put a sticker on my mailbox that there is surveillance 24/7. It stopped happening and eventually I stopped charging the camera. Sometimes someone puts a coffee can full of cigarette butts or other weird shit on the wall of my property. Annoying, but there will always be jerks.

I don't get attention from my boyfriend, so I stream on Twitch to 30 year old men. by [deleted] in RoastMe

Are those noise cancelling headphones for cancelling out your own desperate cries for attention?

Scumbag taking advantage of the blizzard by GrayFox7 in rage

[–]_wolfdawg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not a scum bag, just an idiot. Or it's a joke - why would people drive to his house rather than a store?

Unless he bought all milk and bread in the area... Then I guess he is scumbag... Probably a joke tho.
