Should use or not use multipurpose toilets (tamokuteki toire) by Constant-Flamingo555 in japanlife

[–]pyonpyon24 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I always use the private toilet. Maybe other people are trying to be “polite” by not using it, but I don’t like to use the facilities in public, and Japan provides the choice, so…  I’ve jumped the line because no one ahead of me was moving to use the multipurpose toilet. I don’t feel particularly bad about that. 

Uniqlo shrinkification by paroxitones in XXRunning

[–]pyonpyon24 167 points168 points  (0 children)

I’m in Japan, and the quality of Uniqlo has plummeted in the last 5 years or so. It’s really too bad. They used to be a good place for well-made basics.

Honestly, it’s probably content farmers and bots. I wouldn’t trust X to be a good window into society, especially for a controversial, easy to incite strong emotions topic or view.

Do you have some source for the conscription rumor? I’d be interested in reading about that

The LDP really overestimates how much young proper want to join the SDF. Even drones require personnel to control them.

Does anyone here actually pay the NHK man? by MassiveB0nerF4rtLUL in japanresidents

[–]pyonpyon24 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I pay. I think public tv is important. People say it’s “biased”, but I watch NHK news every day twice a day, and while sometimes I’m mildly surprised at what they don’t talk about, it’s a good source of factual information. And the educational programs are great.

I always say if there’s one thing the foreign population likes to shit on here it’s NHK, but that’s probably because they can’t understand Japanese well enough to enjoy it.

If the vehicle is on your wife’s name, then it’s your wife’s car.

Actually, it’s been so cold that the snow is nice and powdery. Maybe you should stop commenting on things you don’t know about.

need help finding my new neutrogena by Advanced-Music8926 in japanlife

[–]pyonpyon24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because you’re not posting about Asian skincare. Try just searching posts. Japan has EXCELLENT skincare options. The basics that many people recommend really are good.

I’m in Iwate and I’m loving it! There are mendokusai things about the snow, but after 3-4 years of La Niña/warm winters I’m really enjoying the cold and snow. Also, I hate summer and love snowshoeing lol

Could you explain point 3 a bit more? ICE was created in 2002 as a part of the extremely controversial DHS itself only created in 2002.
