A first-person, single-player AAA shooter could be exactly my cuppa. However, there'd be zero chance I'm buying a game from EA so there's that.

Japan currently doesn't have this in the more normal sense. That Japan is still super high-tech is more of a PR move. I literally had to send a fax to get my current internet (though it is fiber-to-the-home).

Where Japan is innovating is in robots and also its crossovers with an aging population. Possibly also some space stuff.

But for an everyday person, I don't really see anything that doesn't already exist somewhere else. I was raised in the US and have been living in Japan most of the last 10 years.

its new policy interpretation will not include proactively removing content related to neo-Nazis and far-right extremism. But Substack will continue to remove any material that includes “credible threats of physical harm

Not even removing nazi publications

That is (hopefully was) a think in some very strict japanese companies. Also, when people had to stamp thing, they would angle their stamps to be "bowing" to the superiors who stamped first. I hope all those traditions are dead

I'm not racist but buying a bidet toilet seat was one of the better choices I've made.

Focusing purely on the question in the headline, a party usually doesn't put forward other candidates when the president runs for a second term. Incumbents often have certain advantages.

No, instead you have to learn to read and spell in a system that often sounds quite different to what is written. I want to read a book that's never been read. I want to live a life alive at a live show. Anything ending in ~ough which has something like 6 or 8 different sounds. I'm a native speaker trying to work with my wife on English (we speak Japanese at home). It's insane for any reading/spelling.

I don't think this means you should have shit in/on your pants, though. I'm in my 40s and have am not leaving skidmarks, even with a condition that can make toilet visits more messy/unpleasent. Wait until you're fully finished. Use a bidet if possible. Get more fibre.

Also, I can't create a photo post as it turns out. No visible errors, just nothing happens.

I noticed this more than a month ago. Please help!

The first (known, at least,) webcam monitored a coffee pot.

That's insane. I have the same Bose over-the-ear (I can't stand in-ear) headphones for years. They have been to the gym with me, jogging, and just existing in a humid, Tokyo summer for the last 5.5 years and have zero electronic issues. I did replace the exterior cushiony bit twice now, but the actual electronics are fine.

I live and work in Japan, but I'm still in this picture and I hate it... Though my work-life balance has progressively gotten better. I don't, however, let my subordinates do that; I want them to have real time off. If they answer a slack or something, it's helpful, but I'd rather they didn't think about work in their off time. I try to be the leader I wished for.

I ran a rather terrifying experiment this month. I, along with my wife, live in a fairly new (~eight-year-old) building. My LDK and office are on my second floor (first is ground floor to me) with some sliding doors to separate them (which are open unless I'm in a meeting). My LDK and office both have an aircon unit. I rarely use the one in my office. My LDK aircon has been on "dry" with the occasional stint on ~22 degrees when it's really hot for a bit. I use the one in my office only when I'm super hot and only for as little as possible.

We also have an aircon on our first (ground) floor in the bedroom. I start it at ~21 most nights and switch to "dry" after an hour. I was dreading our electric bill, but it just came today. From 6/18 to 7/17, we (2 people in 40-amp type A service) used 504 kWh and had a bill of just over 1万4千円.

I was honestly dreading the bill because some aircon units are really bad on a dry setting, but ours were good. I hope you all are staying cool enough in this weather. I thought I'd share in case the data point helps people.

EDIT: 2LDK + Loft, ~54m^2 plus whatever the loft is

There was a waiting list here in Tokyo, but it wasn't too bad.

"I'm not racist." is a great statement. "I'm not racist, but" is quickly entering dangerous territory.

"I don't want to yuck your yum." is also a great statement. "I don't want to yuck your yum, but" has the same problem as the above.

That "but" is doing a lot of heavy lifting and contradicting the preceding part.

Started sometime in the last couple of days. Using the kbin.social site in latest FireFox for Windows.

I also noticed in testing that kbinmeta/newest seems to be wonky if not broken.

Straight-up genitals. This probably should not be allowed to happen even when a user isn't doing NSFW flagging properly and/or an instance is not enforcing it.
