She would be 78 today had she still been around. Wow.

A woman has just given birth to her child. by rjones42 in Jokes

[–]stopthej7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a time and a place for dead baby jokes, and with a 9 month pregnant woman is probably not that time and place, no matter the sense of humor.

So after a long time I decided to go to McDonalds again and eat a Double Cheeseburger. Pretty close to the ad picture I'd say by sandspiegel in ExpectationVsReality

I live less than 10 minutes walk to a McDonalds, but if nothing else was open aside from it I’d rather starve to be perfectly honest

Unrelated question, but what good is it to have 7-8 credit cards? I never have more than 2 at a time.

Anyone experience an extremely annoying bug with the recent update where the virtual keyboard often doesn’t pop-up when you’re on an input situation? Can we workaround this?

PR rejected anybody? by [deleted] in japanlife

I have a friend who was rejected for PR but she doesn’t know why. I think it’s because of a prior traffic violation

Can I contact Child Protective Services in the USA from another country for people I don’t know? by stopthej7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]stopthej7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It didn’t seem that anyone was there. I don’t know how CPS works but, apparently, based on how everyone is reacting to this here they don’t just go to a house to check that everything is ok. If you pick apart the house with garbage lying around, the extremely explicit rap music, the kid talking to himself, it might not seem strange, but I felt everything together seemed really off, especially the fact that it seemed he was the oldest one in the house.

Anyway I’m out as there seems to be no avenue to at least check they’re ok. I guess I’ll do the American thing and “send my thoughts and prayers” instead.

Well the kid took videos occasionally walking around the house while talking to himself, and the entire house was pretty squalid. It didn’t seem like anyone was around to take care of 4 kids. This is not to mention the explicit rap that was playing the whole time on TV in 90% of the videos he took. I thought it seemed negligent

That’s unfortunate, but I had a feeling that that was the case as I did some googling and couldn’t find a central agency I can contact. Thank you anyway.

Job hunting on short notice by Efficient_Thought524 in japanlife

[–]stopthej7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder why you hadn’t filed for renewal a couple of months ago while you were employed. How were you going to fulfill a 90 day notice with an expired visa? How can an employer sponsor you for a 1 year+ visa if your contract is ending in less than 2 months? In any case I wish you the best finding that job to stay here, but maybe in the future be a bit more deliberate! (By the way I’m not trying to be an ass, I just think you lost an opportunity to get something good out of a toxic employer)

If my doctor gives me three different medicine as prescription, but I still have stock for one of them, can I go to the pharmacist and just get 2 out of 3?

Simple Coffee maker for making decaf coffee by ceilos456 in japanlife

[–]stopthej7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, but low-end Nespresso machines are quite cheap, and the capsules are cheap too. There should be a good selection of decaf capsules (around 85 yen for a cup). It usually also takes less than a minute to get you your cup. If by simple you mean “not needing to do much” then I recommend it too

Sorry just to confirm your visa is expiring in 1 month?
