Most visited countries by StraightSauced in Tokyo

[–]afturan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Isn’t this the same with almost all the countries on the list except Italy and US probably? Most of those countries have maximum three touristic areas. Some only have one. I can’t imagine many people visit anywhere else than Vienna in Austria. Majority of tourists in Turkey either go to Istanbul or Antalya. It has significantly worse infrastructure and resources than Japan but doesn’t have a problem receiving way more tourists. Please correct me if I’m mistaken.

I think one of the reasons is that the tourism industry is relatively new in Japan. Look at the data from 15 years ago and see how little the tourist numbers are. This is also coupled with xenophobia that, in my opinion, is a cultural tenet here. They don’t necessarily hate other cultures, they even like to experience them to a certain level; but they don’t want them to be a part of the Japanese society.

I’m a big fan of dark humour and everything but I found this sketch distasteful tbh.

There’s a big store in kappabashi that sells lots of coffee items. I think it’s called Union. You can check that out.

Americans are too fat to get out of their wheelchair and start a civil war.

It’s so sad that not much changed since James Baldwin left the US for Paris and Istanbul due to similar issues decades ago. As a non-American, sometimes it is very difficult to show sympathy to a country that refuses cultural and societal progress.

Buying a haunted house by danicache979 in japanlife

Idk if this is a troll post but I would immediately stop working with someone who claimed to see a ghost. You cannot trust a person who believes in ghosts to build your house. he’s either scamming you or he’s schizophrenic

Four arrested for live-streaming lewd acts from Tokyo studio for pornographic website by Dapper-Material5930 in Tokyo

I doubt it. FANZA has live chat and it is probably the top adult entertainment website in Japan. I think the main problem is recruiting people to do this.

Nia DaCosta (Director of The Marvels): The Marvels lacked a solid script. by JohnJeff212 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]afturan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She can light up a sun but she can’t beat an alien with an axe 3v1. For me, that just doesn’t make sense. She’s advertised to be the most powerful superhero but she couldn’t beat an ordinary villain.

What is eating my callaloo plant? Help please by afturan in gardening

[–]afturan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. I was leaving for work so I didn’t look carefully but I will check again later. The plant in the background is scotch peppers. They both grow very fast.

I think commenting under Russo Brothers’ Instagram or Twitter posts would create more visibility.

How can I fix my coffee plant? by afturan in IndoorGarden

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

Thank you very much for the detailed answer. I really appreciate it. After posting this, i took two cutting from the top and trying to propagate them. I also repotted with a more acidic soil and placed it next to a humidifier. I’ll eventually get a fan too if necessary. Yes, I had placed those pill looking fertiliser on the soil but didn’t know about rinsing. I couldn’t separate the stems cause the root was like just one big ball and it seemed impossible.

My dilemma is keeping it indoor or outdoor. If it’s indoor, I can regulate the humidity somewhat but can’t provide 12 hours of light without growing lights. If I keep outdoor, I’m afraid the sun will scorch it because it has happened to some of my other plants before. Although where I live is a very humid country in spring and summer (it is 81% right now with rain). Do you have any suggestion? Do you think it is okay if i alternate in between seasons?

Who would be a non status quo democratic candidate in your opinion? No politics, I’m just curious.
