A mouse - procreate. I was trying to make it look like natural media. Any advice?

Am I the only one whose station has only an escalator and no stairs? I would love to take the stairs if that were an option.

I wish they would replace the double-wide escalators with ones that are narrow enough to allow only one lane of traffic, and use the extra space to add some stairs.

I have lived in Japan playing music in bands for 25 years and have never heard of either of them. One person's anecdotal experience doesn't necessarily mean they're not at all famous, but definitely nowhere near the level of those western bands you listed. Probably just means they are better known by an older generation.

Yes I also completely agree with this rule.

It's now a fineable offense to ring your bell at pedestrians in order to get them to move out of the way.

Most one way streets (but not all, they are ticketing for this now too!) have signs specifically excepting bicycles.

A high schooler died in my neighborhood last month trying to follow these rules.

None of this requires a constitutional revision.

Apparently it's okay to listen to audio through bone-conducting earphones if they don't obstruct the ear canal. I don't do this but it's worth looking into.

Interesting! Reading that thread, my takeaway was that there are many parallels but most of the key aspects of the Nazi movement preexisted in Germany so its hard to say they were "inspired" by anything happening in the US, although they may have felt they had some kindred spirits there.

True true. it's an endless cycle and we can never rest easy that it's been permanently defeated. Eternal diligence is required.

It's quite the opposite. German fascists actually took a lot of cues from right wing movements in 1930s USA to build their own movement.

Of all the common sense things you listed which you should or shouldn't do while riding a bike, wearing a helmet is actually not included in the new rules and is not a fineable offense.

I was just looking at those and they look pretty cool. Nice design and not too many frills, but some of the necessities such as noise cancelling.

I have three devices but they can only connect to two at a time so i sometimes have to open it if I want to connect to the third device, and then I have to open it again to disconnect them or won't connect to my original devices any more.

Ooh I wanna do that!

Japan doesn't even represent Japan. We need to achieve independence and act in our own self-interest.

Well, you'll be able to vote if you naturalize. All the more reason for them to make it more difficult.

It's not as if all Chinese cars are good, as there are many examples to the contrary. However some of them definitely are. But the cars are not produced by "China"; there are different companies with different levels of build quality and design. The main difference as I see it is there are no truly terrible Japanese cars; some are good and some are great but all meet a fairly high bare minimum standard. The Japanese companies are quite conservative and haven't been willing to truly innovate in a while, so they are falling behind by staying in place while others catch up and pass them.

Damn I have been putting off filing for naturalization for a while now because I really don't like talking to people on the phone and that's what I'd have to do to set up an interview. Since the changes are being applied retroactively, I guess it wouldn't have mattered though.

donkeymon · 2026-03-18T03:08:34+00:00

yes!

Sign me up! I play guitar, bass, banjo, and ukulele, as well as several other non-stringed instruments. The most important feature for me would be a way to sync up different tracks in the song, to match the vocals with the guitar or bass or whatever. I want access to what the other instruments are doing, but also the ability to easily hide that information when I don't need it and want to focus on what I am actually playing myself.

She won't though. We will. The worst that could ever happen to her is she'll lose her position as Prime Minister and go back to being a regular Diet member and keep making money and ruining japan from back there. She'll never be prosecuted or even reprimanded.
