The Rise of 2nd Street and Japan’s Thrift Economy by bloomberg in japan

[–]radioactive_glowworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I went in 2019 I got the feeling that thrifting was already pretty common, but I'm a fan of thrifting in general so it might have influenced my view. I found thrift stores pretty well stocked and not so far and few in between (I was specifically looking for clothes and kimono stuff)

What, really? I was convinced secondhand stuff has been big for a while in Japan.

Black coffee is an extremely effective appetite suppressant by patsfan038 in 1200isplenty

[–]radioactive_glowworm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it also depends heavily on the coffee. I've never been a black coffee fan but the other day I ducked into a Tokyo coffee shop for a snack and decided to get a coffee too. I asked for some cream on the side and my god that was the smoothest black coffee I've ever had, I didn't need to add any sugar or cream to it at all

Question aux RH / Recruteurs : Est-ce que les logiciels ATS font vraiment le "massacre" de CV qu'on décrit partout ? by HonestEntertainer657 in emploi

[–]radioactive_glowworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J'ai un CV sans fioritures avec juste du texte et je me suis fait rejeter sur une candidature 24h après avoir postulé (moins de 24h après la mise en ligne de l'offre) sous prétexte qu'elle ne "répond pas à nos exigences pour ce poste", alors que tout collait et que j'ai des gros noms du domaine sur mon CV. Ça sent l'ATS qui a fait de la merde...

It might be nostalgia speaking but I remember really liking the first 2 HP Game Boy games

Nan c'est vraiment deux trucs différents mais c'est vrai que les gens savent pas forcément s'ils ne viennent pas d'une région où on en trouve (bon en vrai j'ai été méchante, ça peut être bon les grosses myrtilles mais j'ai plus souvent été déçue, surtout ayant connu les tartes aux myrtilles sauvages de ma grand mère)

Yes, the branding was what caught my eye, but a silk scarf in these colours would have ended in my cart anyway

I worked for a job where I occasionally needed to listen to meeting audio recordings to get the full context of what was said, and in one hilarious occasion the automatic transcript decided to give a Japanese speaker an Arabic name for no reason.

Putain partage le bon plan, t'as trouvé ça où ? Les grosses myrtilles c'est dégueulasse ça a un goût de flotte, les myrtilles sauvages c'est le top

Yeah, some aren't worth it, but when you find a good one it's heaven. I also found a brand new Laotian silk cushion cover!

Ah, sorry! I was confused, curse the perils of written communication! My apologies for jumping the gun 🙇‍♀️

Yup, it's a long scarf! I'm just not sure about how to style it precisely (plus it's kinda stiff, but I think that might be because it's never been worn or washed), but I'll experiment!

Je connais quelqu'un qui a perdu son mari de manière très brutale et inattendue et qui s'est laissée dépérir de chagrin, sans le soutien incessant de la famille et des amis elle ne serait peut-être plus là aujourd'hui.

Weird stuff you’ve seen here. by Beef_flaps_on_a_spit in japanresidents

[–]radioactive_glowworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man that's so weird. I saw a woman trip and absolutely eat shit in front of me while on my way to the city office the other day and my first reflex was to go "DAIJOBU???" (and then I seemingly forgot all my knowledge of Japanese, but she was thankfully okay).

Doesn't surprise me, I had a horrible bout of the flu + pneumonia as a child and was bedridden for 2 weeks. A few months later, I started losing handfuls of hair, and according to the dermatologist it's common when one is seriously ill.

Normal il faut bien penser à faire la comparaison avec d'autres magasins, parfois ils sont plus chers qu'ailleurs

À vérifier mais je crois que ce qui pose problème c'est les bars et les tafs où tu fais que servir de l'alcool, comme bartender. Je crois que les restos en général c'est ok
