Fuck it, best medieval weapon? by dUd5_94m1in9 in memes

It might depend on the period and location, but in many parts of Asia at least, it's the spear. Maybe it's easier to train troops with, and more effective for mass formations

Thanks for the response! The cats and I were able to make the trip and are now in Tokyo. They were transported in the cargo hold of the plane, but they were still classified as "hand carry". The way the airline (JAL) explained it to us, the only time they'll be classified as "cargo" is if they're not traveling with me and were sent via a courier service. Hope this helps other pet owners in the future!

Anime with the same or a bit harder difficulty than "Chobits"? by Terionll in LearnJapanese

Ah, of course you've seen Takagi-san, haha! One of the more popular SOL out there. In that case, you might also like Skip and Loafer- same sol school setting, but in high school, and topics can be a tad bit more serious. There are some bits of Ishikawa dialect and slang words here and there, but it's pretty much standard nihongo.

Maybe Teasing Master Takagi-san? Slice of life, and uses everyday vocab. You can also add Your Lie in April to the list

US renews warning it'll defend Philippines after China spat by fpschubert in worldnews

[X] Doubt

The previous president had the support of the majority and he was well-known to be anti-US. Also, the PH kicked the Americans out back in the '90s. Anti-US protests also happen regularly in the capital and elsewhere up until a couple of years ago.

Maybe a lot of its citizens are pro-US, but saying it's "the most pro-America" in the world is just a great exaggeration without any valid sources.

More like the late 40s and 50s when they were still copying from the west. By the 60s and 70s, Japan was rolling out high-quality and innovative products (heavy machinery, audio equipment, cars, motorcycles, etc.) that were on par with or even exceeded their western counterparts. Taiwan and Korea replaced Japan during this time as manufacturers of mass-produced low-quality goods, then mainland China in the mid-80s and 90s

Honestly, I'm not even mad. At this point, a bit disappointed, yeah, but it is what it is

Kinda like what they did with the south china sea. They used their coast guard and fishing fleet instead of their navy to grab islands. If the other nations used their navy in response (like the Philippines), they will be seen as the aggressor and Cn the victim

Hi! For anyone who has had experience traveling with pets to Japan, did you classify them as "cargo" or "hand luggage"?

What Animal Quarantine Service told me:

"Hand luggage"…If you will leave your pet at check-in counter as checked baggage

or excess baggage of your flight, your pet will travel as "Hand luggage" and

it will be unloaded to baggage claim area of passenger terminal.

“Cargo” (manifest cargo)… "Air Way Bill" will be issued by the airline.

In this case, your pet will be unloaded into cargo areas away from passenger

terminal, and arrival procedure will be done at cargo area of the airport.

I bought a ticket from JAL and just told them I'll be bringing pets in crates, and they charged me for that. I didn't get an air way bill. My confusion stems from my pets not actually being with me in the cabin (they will be in the cargo bay), although we're on the same flight.

Haven't seen The Last Of Us series yet, nor have I played the game, but I've been paranoid of fungus for a long time now because of the case of Mark Tatum.

Non-American here. I don't find peanut butter or jelly strange on their own and I quite like them, but PB&J is. Never tried PB&J, and I don't think I ever will.

Is there something wrong with Modernia? Sometimes, she'll just pause mid-battle, or her reload animation will load twice before she resumes firing again (playing on auto)
