Oh hahah, didn’t realize that!

Nah it’s a small-ish company in Osaka. Is calbee considered good?

Though I actually do work for a Japanese company, but I love it. Maybe I’m lucky, or maybe not all Japanese companies are as scary as people picture them.

Same, same, and oh my god SAME. Also maybe at least 50% of tourists might focus on other countries…

I started questioning our role in the World War 2 during a history lesson when I was in, like, 4th grade. I’m from Russia.

I’m 0% Japanese and can say that so far, aside from some annoying paperwork, it’s a bliss compared to the countries I used to live in before. Maybe the difference is that I didn’t expect people to truly love me behind their smiles and politeness. Just being friendly (as it is in 99% of cases here for me) is enough, and way above my experience in Europe when people jumped to being rude and sometimes hostile right after hearing my accent after trying to speak local language.

I believe it’d be more appropriate to call the US government predators, considering all the evidence.

Make one in final fantasy setting with its characters and I’m sold! Not a good things, but you’re 100% correct!

Holy shit, I never expected to see the company I worked for (as Apple support) in the news, you go Conduent! But honestly, yeah, the amount of personal data we used to deal with was absurd, and the security was almost non-existent. The only account that was prohibited to even look up was Tim Cook’s one. You could be easily fired for that.

Basically, we could see the whole purchase history of any account, bank info, address, phone numbers, etc. and we used to tell the customers crap like “oh, no, I don’t see anything, we cannot identify payments or block/unblock your iphone”, even though we could easily do all that and way more in a few clicks.

Anyway, my NDA is over now, so I guess it’s fine for me to share all this.

I was quite shocked when my neighbor here once offered me a joint. And it’s Osaka’s central area, and it wasn’t that late! Though I sometimes can smell it in the air, and occasionally see teenagers (on the older side) smoking weed, it’s usually somewhere far from the crowds and popular places.

*in the US

Geez what a list. Better get help ASAP.

You mean don’t kirk-shame?

So Apple paid for the same thing a couple of years ago, and Google pays for it now. Two of the biggest “phone/os” companies do spy on people and now it’s a confirmed fact.

Not offer, but I’m terible at spelling.

And mouse controls which seemed like a useless feature, but proved to be a really awesome one!

Damn that’s awesome! Knowing the amount and the speed of speech in Gintama, your level must be really high! I’m stuck with something easier and slower for now😅

This skirt, and the sad radio segment about a dog with a twist (from the insomnia episode), are two of my favorites from the whole show.

This is exactly the reason why I loved playing cyberpunk on switch 2, stick walk, plus mouse shooting. Wish more games would support this.

With hundreds of thousands of dollars you can build a giant mansion and still have some change for a good car. Unless you want it to be in the Tokyo central area or something.
