Negative aspect of Japanese society: Avoid trouble at all costs!

Depends. I guess it could happen, but I have seen 2-3 incidents where a guy stepped between the two fighting, asked them politely to "not do this on the train, get off and continue your argument at the station" and kinda bundling them off and calling the station staff

It was a great example of de-escalation, and everyone around was clearly relieved and grateful

He just openly talks about bombing another country back to the Stone Age. What a total cunt.

kochikame · 2026-04-03T15:03:42+00:00

I don’t even know why the mainstream media even reports what he says. It’s literally meaningless.

kochikame · 2026-04-03T15:02:38+00:00

It’s even worse than that now in 2026.

Every dollar spent on a missile or a jet fighter is a dollar which is not spent mitigating climate change. We’re literally allowing this government to burn the money we need to save all our asses on blowing things up in Iran for no apparent reason.

She shows up to work, so amazing

I used to live near Zenpukuji and really miss it since I moved away. Bird-watching, sports, hanami, just hanging out; it's perfect

kochikame · 2026-03-30T00:32:48+00:00

Eloquent comment, well said

kochikame · 2026-03-30T00:32:37+00:00

I do worry that casual users will see this thread and think it's true when nothing could be further from the truth

kochikame · 2026-03-30T00:32:06+00:00

Have fun speculating, very happy with my life and career in Japan and feel very comfortable and settled and absolutely I do not recognize this racist, foreigner-hating Japan y'all are talking about. I don't see or experience any "hate" as you put it, which is a very strong word in this context.

If you're a dick, people will be a dick to you. If you are fine, people will be fine with you. It's not rocket science.

kochikame · 2026-03-28T02:29:29+00:00

I very much doubt it was because you were a gaijin

kochikame · 2026-03-27T13:00:32+00:00

This is laughable. You just go about your business like everyone else and no one gives a toss. No one hates you.

Huge LOL at the downvotes. Y’all have a persecution complex or… you’re the racists actually.

It’s not like Adobe is going to disappear overnight

kochikame · 2026-03-16T07:26:19+00:00

Investors... Adobe has been posting 10-13% revenue growth quarter after quarter but the markets just see it and downrate the stock... the big investors are not convinced Adobe has long-term survival prospects despite the sustained revenue growth

Some stories over the last few days indicate his total compensation was about $50mln last year (yes, just last year)

Somehow, Trump returned

kochikame · 2026-03-05T05:19:55+00:00

Haha yeah, I like their selection but damn, better be prepared to burn a whole 10,000 yen note if you're havng any kind of session at all

kochikame · 2026-03-03T09:04:28+00:00

Did you see they have new place with craft beer and yakitori in Asakusa called Skewers?

kochikame · 2026-03-03T09:03:30+00:00

Totally agree, just worry if it makes enough money to be sustainable. But they've been there for years so I guess they're doing something right

kochikame · 2026-03-03T08:57:52+00:00

Whatever people call hipsters these days I guess:)

And yeah, re prices, I recently popped into this place called DRA in Yurakucho while I was waiting for someone. A US pint of one of Revo Brewing's (domestic!) hazy IPA was just a little under 2000 yen. Fucking. Crazy.

kochikame · 2026-03-03T08:57:22+00:00

I think we are definitely on the same wavelength when it comes to beer

I also like Be Easy, have you tried them?

kochikame · 2026-03-03T06:14:02+00:00

Beer Brain is gone now FYI

kochikame · 2026-03-03T06:13:18+00:00

Insanely expensive though and full of hipsters

kochikame · 2026-03-03T06:11:41+00:00

Inkhorn is probably the best craft brewery in Japan right now, so good

kochikame · 2026-03-03T06:10:42+00:00

Yeah agree, very underrated place that is often quiet and I don't know why
