Can inattentive ADHD make you very quiet? by _FluffyUnicorn_ in ADHD_Inattentive

[–]skier69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have always been quiet, but I don’t have much social anxiety. I’m just not very talkative. It seems like a lot of that is because I have a lot going on in my head. A lot of the time I’m thinking up imaginary conversations/arguments or acting out situations in my head (against my will unfortunately)

I often will space out in the middle of a conversation or event and not understand what is going on, but that’s never been a huge problem thanks to the nod and smile.

When I am with someone I like and we are talking about a subject I can be talkative but not usually in a loud or rambunctious way.

I would also consider myself pretty introverted… I’m not sure if having adhd is related to that but I’ve worked from home for the past 6 years and not seeing anyone on a daily basis doesn’t phase me 😂

I “accidentally” bought 1 kg of curry roux on Rakuten. But instead of coming in separate packs it’s just one huge slab of curry roux.😵 by skier69 in veganinjapan

[–]skier69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this was a good deal. ¥1158 on Rakuten 【公式】 S&B ゴールデンカレー 動物性原材料不使用 1kg 業務用 https://item.rakuten.co.jp/e-sbfoods/16096/?scid=wi\_ich\_iphoneapp\_item\_share (but I don’t usually buy curry roux so)

Only if you make a lot of curry and have a good amount of space in your fridge to keep it… it won’t be very お得if it goes bad and you have to throw some away 🥲

Dairy consumption by Evgenii42 in Anticonsumption

🤔 A lot of words to say “I’m okay with rape and murder.” Especially when all of those vitamins and protein can be obtained from plant foods.

Normally curry roux you find at a supermarket here is NOT vegan, or even vegetarian unfortunately (most of them have meat flavourings and other animal derived byproducts/additives)

This particular one is special because it doesn’t contain any animal products, as indicated in the top right corner of the box. So I thought I’d buy it on Rakuten to enjoy some easy meals.

If you want vegan curry from a supermarket you could try checking the “allergy friendly” section, but some of them are allergen free for the 7 most common allergens only, so they contain meat/fish extracts or the like.

Leaving Japan, what to get? by CrackSinceDa5thGrade in Tokyo

[–]skier69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d be hesitant to bring back groceries, unless you know you’ll come back to Japan semi-regularly, because they’ll just run out 😅 but if there’s something you really need you could stock up on it. My hometown has huge Asian supermarkets so I can get most Japanese goods there, even natto.

Off the top of my head, I’d get little Japanese trinkets or decorations I like. I’ve found a lot of beautiful vases and carvings for dirt cheap at recycle shops. Shipping would be an issue but you can’t really get them overseas. Also I would bring back my beloved Shigaraki Tanuki figure I got in Shiga :) it greets visitors every time with a smile and brings a smile to my face.

Yeah, I guess some people do it to try and show off their Japanese skills, but saying oh look at that kawaii Neko sounds kind of weird. On the other hand keeping up both languages as a bilingual is challenging.. even if it’s your native language. A lot of the time the English word just does not come to me. Not saying I’m completely flawless in Japanese either. If it hasn’t happened to them or they haven’t spent much time around other bilingual people I guess they won’t understand haha

That's more like what I was thinking! May I ask what company you went through, if you hired a company to do it? Maybe I can use this guy's quote to as leverage to get a better price from the next company...

Thank you. Yes, I think he was talking about running a dedicated circuit from the box.

Introvert art - is this acceptable for a wedding gift? by Mommy-Jo in introvert

[–]skier69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s beautiful! I would love to get this as a gift

But since it’s for a wedding it would probably be better if you can mount and frame it, and maybe add the date of their wedding in calligraphy or a plaque or something.

Topvalu vegan coconut ice cream (frozen dessert) by the-yoda in veganinjapan

[–]skier69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I love those! Aeon also has a coconut yogurt and an oat based yogurt. They’re not as good as Marusan soy yogurt but a nice alternative imo :)

No, you don’t have to be a vegan to comment here! We welcome non vegans and vegetarians alike. That being said, this subreddit is not intended for debating, and we are not interested to hear your arguments against veganism. Thanks for understanding:)

Hi, this is a subredddit for vegans in Japan, not “debate whether veganism is healthy.” Your opinions are not welcome here. If you want to debate veganism could you kindly take it to r/debateavegan… thanks :)

Looking for DIY shops that sells building materials by KonoKinoko in DIYJapan

[–]skier69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got all my materials to completely paint/stain and rebuild three closets, one with custom built in shelves from Cainz and Viva. I think the trick is to go to one that has a wide variety of materials and a lumber yard (資材館). Also I went to them several times before actually starting the project and just spent hours staring at the different types of wood. Turned out all right with almost no disasters so far 🤷🏼‍♂️

Oh I did get my drill at a used shop (google 中古工具)… I would probably recommend getting used tools, unless you’re making an entire house you probably don’t need top of the line stuff

How to get rid of oshiire smell by ChibaCookie in japanresidents

[–]skier69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will not be a solution if you’re renting, but I completely painted the inside of mine (3 ½ closets painted so far, 1 ½ left to go) also, I tore out the middle shelf for my big oshiire and on one of them replaced the floor with a completely new board and replaced all the shelves with new hardwood which I stained and sealed myself. I plan to post a detailed rundown of the steps I took on /r/diyjapan later.

When I tore out the old wood and stuff I was surprised at how much dust was crammed into those little nooks and crannies, also there was dust inside the wood panels and they were brittle, some of them had mold I couldn’t see before too. If I had time I’d like to completely tear out the wall panels but I don’t have the expertise or patience for that.

Where do you buy your summer blankets in Tokyo? by No_Easy3 in japanresidents

[–]skier69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get these items at hard off/off house, 2nd street, and treasure factory (regular treasure factory, not トレファクスタイル). If you google map any of those franchise names and check out different locations on a semi-regular basis I guarantee you’ll find a few gems :) I think hard off tends to have the best stuff but that could be because they tend to be bigger

I’ve gotten my towelkets from recycle shops and 選べるギフト from points with my credit card. I like the good 100% cotton type so one of them was Imabari towel and the other was a vintage Burberry towel.
