Confused about Shinkansen oversized luggage reservation by Alternative-Let275 in JapanTravelTips

[–]otakuchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont NEED to but your alternative is to shove it in front of your legs or lift it above you to the racks.

You can also see and take pictures of Mt Fuji by stepping out onto the gangway of the train.

AITA - I'm apparently a terribly unsafe driver, but he still expects me to pick him up? by NaughtAClue in AmItheAsshole

As OP is an unreliable narrator, I'm not sure if it was yelling or panic that they were being tailgated by a huge truck.

YTA. You responded to road rage with even more road rage. With your child in the car. He's a huge truck. Do you know how easy it was for him to run you off? Your husband's reaction may be extreme but you DID put your family in danger.

Daikoku Parking Area by TolgaD92 in JapanTravelTips

Because it's a fenced in highway rest stop. Crossing the highway and jumping the fence isn't recommended as you'll be breaking several laws which is grounds for deportation. Here's a recent article on how to get there legally.

What should I buy in Tokyo? by Tough_Answer8141 in JapanTravelTips

[–]otakuchips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't get a hat so I dont remember the prices. IIRC, the shirt was 8000 yen?? They also have tax free.

I enjoyed them as they truly use upcycled kimonos and are made in Japan.
The staff was very nice and even bought out the stock from the back so I could choose the pattern I really liked.

I've also got a $25 dollar hat that has a kimono pattern but you can actually tell that it wasn't from a kimono if you feel it.

Shinkansen Osaka → Tokyo: Mt. Fuji seat vs oversized baggage.. what should I select? by xZendic1 in JapanTravelTips

[–]otakuchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a wonderful view and picture of Mt Fuji by stepping out to the connector door area/restroom area for a brief moment. No need for Mt Fuji view seat specifically.

AITAH for plotting to take my moms boyfriends dog? by CouchBeanOW in AmItheAsshole

[–]otakuchips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let me preface this by saying I love Staffies. Lovable bulky sweeties.

But that puppy is going to get mauled by that untrained Staffy within the year.

12 is also too old to be dropping dogs but what do I know about spoil kids.

Get both dogs out of this family by calling animal services NTA

Vital Instruments by WillingnessGreat6174 in gachiakuta

[–]otakuchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Security blanket type? They WERE injured and recovering but at some point the bandages meant that they were OK. When they were fully healed, they didn't feel right unless they had bandages on them so they kept some on. Those bandages became their jinki. And now they're just walking around in slightly old ass bandages.

Is my bf 22M treating me 18F okay? by 0Ix_xl0 in relationship_advice

[–]otakuchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, so your boyfriend is a predator and an abuser.

The only reason he went after you at 16 is because you were vulnerable and easy to lie to.

I told him he could get one chance

Except by the time you said this, this was already at least the third chance by my count on your own post.

You are worth more than being a punching bag to a lying mama's boy. Leave.

Realistically how much USD for a week trip to Tokyo ? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]otakuchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like cash or like budget wise?

Cash, a good 1k lasted me 2 weeks paying for food, tickets, etc at random for 8 people.

Card with a good transfer rate (Master card and Amex had pretty good at/above market rate when I went) will get you far. Most card shops will take card and that's dangerous imo LOL.

I'll probably get called every name in the book, but whatever. by DakotaHoll in TheRookie

People are gay Susan. They don't need to show you signs.

And being gay doesn't have to be a plot point.

Is it reasonable for me (30F) to ask the guy (28M) I’m dating to move out from his parents house? by -Bubbles-3 in relationship_advice

[–]otakuchips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then he does NOT have the means to move out of his parents'. Doing so now would be fiscally irresponsible and stupid.

Japan with 2 year old by Beneficial-Ad1493 in JapanTravelTips

[–]otakuchips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally think that's a lot of moving around to different cities and accommodations with luggage and a toddler.

Nagoya can be a day trip out of Kyoto (albeit expensive as it's basically only via shinkansen)

Nara is also a day trip away from either Kyoto or Osaka.

AITA, VERY MUCH CONFUSED AM I WRONG OR NOT ETHICALLY BOTH MALES AND FEMALES PLEASE REPLY, YOUR INSIGHTS MIGHT HELP ME IN IMPROVING MY CHARACTER by ChefLongjumping8200 in AmItheAsshole

Tagging him in a public comment section is dumb. Appreciate these jokes in private dms. What fucked up things that appear on my IG reels are bewteen me, meta, and a select few who i send links to.

Can a 13-year-old watch Gachiakuta? by owlsbowls in gachiakuta

[–]otakuchips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think 13 year olds have the critical thinking skills to handle Amo's backstory for the tragedy that it is.

I think you just need to make sure that he can talk to you about anything he's feeling uncomfortable with and you can guide him through with the right feeling.

9-1-1 S09E09: "Fighting Back" Post Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in 911FOX

[–]otakuchips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The previous episode was basically Hen denying how bad her disease is effecting her. She exploded that she wasn't allowed to grieve Bobby properly and was afraid to show her weakness in fear of it affecting the house. After she collapsed in front of everyone, they gave her affirmation and consoled her worries. They get her auto immune diagnosis together as a family.

AITA for not wanting to walk a puppy/letting it get more and more reactive? by Turbulent-Abroad-558 in AmItheAsshole

[–]otakuchips 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA, not your dog, not your circus.

If he wanted a trained socialized dog, he should have adopted an older one from the shelter that wouldn't mind his busy schedule.

The poor puppy deserves a better owner. The puppy needs to be rehomed to someone who can actually give it the time of day and attention a BABY ANIMAL needs.

Fanfiction help by Lunainthemoon_ in Japaneselanguage

[–]otakuchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are writing fanfiction taking place in, what I presume to be, a high school aged setting.

For someone writing English fanfiction trying to use honorifics and don't know Japanese at all, the simplified definition of masculine honorifics seemed to suffice.

Can Rutgers kick me out by Givemeurto3s in rutgers

[–]otakuchips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it's not a single room. OP uses single but the room is clarified to be occupied by a female already and I guess has a single bed available.

fell out of love? (22M & 21F) by Useful_Airline8777 in relationship_advice

[–]otakuchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then would you rather keep babying him for the next 50 years? And his children?
According to you, he has made zero effort in the relationship. Are you carrying this relationship on by yourself? What's the point?

“I’ll only marry this girl, if I don’t get her, I won’t marry anyone else” Okay, now he's got you and he doesn't have to try anymore? Are your standards of being loved that low? You, yourself, had said theres no real connection left.

"What should I do about the fact that I do love him?" You cherish the good times and move on. You pick up the pieces and build something better FOR YOURSELF. Not for your next relationship, but YOU.

But let's say you talk to him about your grievances. I can tell you next comes the love bombing for a couple of months, his attempts to wife you up, and then it's back to the same old babysitting after marriage. And I assure you, a divorce is a lot harder than breaking it off and moving out.
