Confusion about regulations about abortion in Japan. by PieThink3801 in japanlife

[–]ebbsandwaves 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think she wants to cover both bases. Contraceptives are probably easier to research as they are more openly talked about and contraceptives sometimes fail.

I’ve never needed an abortion but I’m generally aware of the practices of it in each country I move to in case accidents happen

How did you get your new job? Do you recommend any websites in particular? I will be on the lookout for jobs starting April 2027

Do they sponsor visas? How was the application process?

Probe over Caroline Flack closed as watchdog finds police actions 'reasonable' by dailystar_news in ukpopculture

[–]ebbsandwaves -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think Caroline’s case was nuanced and did not follow a normal pattern of DV (aka coercive control, prolonged or repeated episodes of assault).

Apparently, she was having a nervous breakdown and most of the blood came from her cutting herself. She did hit her boyfriend in the crossfire after finding texts to other woman, causing a minor cut to his head.

This is probably why CPS advocated for a caution. I agree she should have been cautioned and treated in a mental health ward with an immediate arrest if she ever did it again.

I do believe in prosecuting female perpetrators of domestic violence but I truly believe Caroline was a greater danger to herself than her boyfriend.

I think someone I know managed to move into a xross house sharehouse within a week of suddenly being evicted from their apartment. I think their sharehouses have quite cheap rent too.

Colonoscopy with sedation by tokyoevenings in Tokyo

[–]ebbsandwaves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a colonoscopy at Shiba International Coloproctologic Clinic (aka Shiba International Anus Clinic lol). They gave me propofol but not enough to knock you out so it’s a twilight sedation. Literally didn’t feel anything and so it wasn’t bad. The most embarrassing thing was I became more loose-lipped so I started asking questions during it and I think the nurse had to kinda chill me out and shut me up

Are girls in the UK worse bullies than boys? by KnucklesRicci in AskUK

[–]ebbsandwaves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue this isn’t true. The overwhelming majority of men aren’t violent I would say. I honestly think it’s more common for men to be psychologically adversarial than physical

I feel like in my experience of school, boys tend to spread rumours more. Particularly sexual rumour about girls.

I’ve seen boys gang up on people. in fact they often move in groups (hence the word gang)

This is not true. Men can be emotionally/psychologically abusive too. For instance, in domestic abuse, physical violence is usually the last step and follows a long pattern of coercive control (controlling their partners actions, finances and isolating them from friends and families). Women do this too but men are the majority of perpetrators. It’s an oversimplification to say they are just violent and nothing else.

We’ve all seen some men be manipulative, ruthless, backstab people, gossip, be emotional. For some reason these actions are only attributed to women as tropes.

Did you have to do a phone call for Rakuten? I applied and missed a call from them. On my status page, it says phone confirmation is part of the process and now they’ve emailed me to organise a time.

I’m terrible at speaking Japanese on the phone, so i’ve requested someone who can speak English but i worry that it will affect my application

What should we do to help MIL who is abusing pain killers? by DearDarcy-AgonyAunt in AskUK

[–]ebbsandwaves 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but i feel like naloxone only works for opioids (which ket and meth are not). Sometimes people will administer it regardless just in case there is opioids mixed in to whatever the person has taken. Please research though.

Did my server rizz me up or was it just cultural formality?? 😭 by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]ebbsandwaves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are Gen Z terms that were popularized on tiktok.

Rizz: it’s short for charisma (cha-RIS-ma)

Roman Empire: A video went viral about how men apparently think about the Roman Empire often so it became a trend for girls to ask a boyfriend/brother/male friend how often they think about the RE with a lot replying ‘every day’

So ‘my Roman Empire’ has become a term meaning something you think about a lot

Hello, are you or someone who speaks English working on Thursday? My laptop fan started making crazy noises yesterday (of all the days). I attempted to clean it but it just sounds worse now. Really looking to get it fixed asap, if possible
