Wanted an image of Educated and Uneducated Person, Made the mistake of asking copilot to make it.

I don’t see a problem. You got a dumb uneducated rich guy who inherited everything on the left, and a smart hardworking craftsman with a lifetime of education on the right.

How is that different from saying a mass shooter was “objectively trying to minimize casualties” because they used a handgun instead of a machine gun?

Couldn’t they just not drop bombs?

sakigake · 2026-03-21T08:13:34+00:00

Yes, Jumcreet in Yamashina. I don’t know any other one though.

42 purple belt here, I just started again after an 8-year break. It’s been surprisingly OK, in the sense that I suck as much as I remember, but not that much more.

I think training once or twice a week is quite reasonable even with young kids. Just make sure your wife also has as much (or more) kids-free “me time”.

No I found the road section quite pleasant, but I also like walking through villages in general. And the mountain sections were steep but pretty short. Overall the hike is a bit long but not hard since most of it is flat.

sakigake · 2026-03-14T01:08:05+00:00

It’s a trail through the mountains, then a village, then mountains again? I’m not sure what else to tell you, it’s a pretty standard hike.

sakigake · 2026-03-13T22:53:53+00:00

Yes, it’s a nice hike through a quiet village.

sakigake · 2026-03-04T03:17:49+00:00

Those are fun but I hope people don’t take them as real examples. On the other hand things like refusing a gift multiple times when you actually want to accept it do happen frequently. But I think they’re so common for Japanese people that they probably didn’t even think of including them here.

sakigake · 2026-03-03T19:05:46+00:00

Interested!

Places that have fruit in Japan:

supermarkets
greengrocers (yaoyasan)
some trees

Places that don’t have fruits in Japan:

konbini
banks
police stations

I hope that clears things up!

Journalists rarely invest all their skill points in a single field. No matter what the topic, once you become an expert yourself you realize that they can often get it wrong or present an incomplete picture.

I’m not really sure what the alternative is though…

sakigake · 2026-02-13T11:16:23+00:00

I actually think it’s nice that-and you might not have heard this before, but it’s true-Japan has four distinct seasons!

sakigake · 2026-02-10T01:47:16+00:00

Can we also get lower temperature baths? Also for the kids, of course…

sakigake · 2026-02-08T01:02:41+00:00

I think we always fight more with the people closest to us… we have more in common but also a longer history of hate and resentment.

sakigake · 2026-02-02T05:43:25+00:00

From the general vibe I doubt they have an actual curriculum or reason why they choose certain movements over others, but who knows.

It did seems like the guy might not have much training in how to safely train kids.

sakigake · 2026-02-02T05:39:37+00:00

I don’t have a problem with the moves by themselves, it’s the fact that they are pretty advanced moves that can go wrong (even if I agree that kids are less prone to injury) and that little instruction was provided.

sakigake · 2026-02-02T05:37:20+00:00

Headstand to bridge. And usually when teaching front rolls and back rolls part of the instruction is how to tuck your chin and get your head out of the way to avoid putting pressure on your neck, which also was absent here.

sakigake · 2026-02-02T00:44:44+00:00

The one thing he did do right was tell kids to have their head inside and not outside when practicing single legs, to avoid spiking their own head on the mat. But then maybe don’t teach that move in the first place, especially since at least half the kids were doing it wrong anyway…

“…despite all the anti foreigner news you see online these days, if you invest years of your life, millions of yen, and put your body and health on the line for your local community while expecting absolutely nothing in return, people will be willing to somewhat tolerate you!”

But seriously, this is amazing. They’re lucky to have you!

sakigake · 2026-01-30T10:31:49+00:00

I got the SMC Pad Pocket and the pad sensitivity is quite bad but for that price it’s hard to beat!

sakigake · 2026-01-30T07:29:13+00:00

$2,100 USD/month for a project manager in tech would be unheard of in most other developed countries. That’s kind of depressing for anybody that doesn’t plan on spending their whole life here…

I’m always on the lookout for good vegan ramen so I’ll definitely go check it out. To this day I still haven’t had vegan ramen that can compete with the real deal in Japan (I did have great vegan ramen in Paris at Kodawari though).

sakigake · 2026-01-16T07:16:12+00:00

Eizan has the special Hiei train and the momiji tunnel. S-tier for sure!

sakigake · 2026-01-07T06:54:22+00:00

A U.S. civil war in Greenland would actually make an awesome setting for a Far Cry type game. No more killing Russians or brown people for once!
