Sure, but that interpretation would make the game woke and political.
I don't think the Japanese abbreviation sounds so cool when you know that "asa-kuri" could also be interpreted as "morning chestnut".
Isn't this the same as what Israel has been doing with Birthright?
who the fuck wants to talk to an older European.
Me. I love French daddies.
I don't know yet. I'll be living in London, and since it's a very international city there are jobs there that use Japanese. There's an employment agency for Japanese people that also helps former English teachers in Japan find work.
In the meantime there's some pervert on UpWork who wants me to translate futanari porn.
There are many things that I'll miss, but I know things wouldn't work out long-term there. I'm now 40 and have issues with fatigue due to a sleep disorder that went undiagnosed for years, so my chances of getting out of English teaching weren't great. Even if I could, I'm not sure if I could handle the stress and long working hours they have at most Japanese companies.
I'm moving back home to the UK after living in Japan for 11 years. I noticed a westerner at the boarding gate with his feet up on the seats opposite him. I thought that was incredibly rude, especially as he had his shoes, which Japanese people normally remove when putting their feet on something people sit on, but I didn't dwell on it.
After boarding the plane, he walked past my seat, and I noticed he was carrying the book "The Real Anthony Fauci". I wasn't familiar with the book, and although I think there are things Fauci deserves to be criticized for, it just screamed conspiratorial chud. I decided to wait until I had WiFi access and could Google the book before passing judgement, and it turned out some people don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
To me, bisexualope sounds more like a bisexual antelope, which someone has probably already taken as their fursona.
But only for those that keep to the speed limits. Plenty of people drove at 80-100 KPH when I commuted by car.
Yes. I spent some time living in northern Kanto, which is famous for its car dependancy, and absolutely everyone drove 20-40 KPH above the limit. Sixty KPH (which is generally the highest speed limit outside of highways) is equivalent to around 37 MPH, so I don't blame them.
エミュレーター 違法 is now only the 4th auto-complete suggestion. The first is エミューレーターとは (What is an emulator?) I guess there's been a sudden surge of lawlessness in Japan.
Have you ever talked to a doctor about it? One to two hours is quite extreme, and would probably be classified as a sleep disorder.
I've had problems getting to sleep most of my life, but it generally took me around 30 minutes most nights. I eventually developed really bad insomnia in my mid-30s and got diagnosed with sleep apnea a few years ago. My poor sleep was possibly causing spikes of cortisol during the day that made it difficult for me to get to sleep.
I would have thought chomping on a dry ass cone would be more of a Ben Shapiro thing.
"Just a cone" sounds like a cone with no ice cream to me, so yes, that sounds weird to me.
Oh, so Marxist-Netflixists aren't welcome here? Whatever happened to leftist unity?
I'm surprised they didn't take offense at the label "black tea" and claim that it's anti-white erasure by the woke mob.
Imagine being such a simp for corporate interests that you actually watch and pay attention to ads.
They didn't even say they were a Chinese national. There are plenty of native Chinese speakers in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and many other countries.
"Stiff breeze" sounds kinda gay.
I'm personally all for letting people decide if they should vote, but it's entirely Biden's fault that people don't want to vote for him.
Last year, I discovered that I have something in common with Biden. No, I don't mean I should be executed for my crimes against humanity (although I'm sure some of you tankies will beg to differ); I discovered that we are both using CPAP to treat sleep apnea. I struggled with chronic sleep deprivation for around three years until I finally got diagnosed and started CPAP around 18 months ago. I want to try to avoid being ableist, but as someone who has personally experienced impaired memory and reduced neurological ability from untreated sleep apnea, I know full well what it can do.
I do not know the full details of Biden's treatment, but articles suggest that he only started CPAP last year despite being diagnosed in 2008. Maybe it's unfair to speculate about his personal health, but it seems like there are one of two possibilities.
- Like roughly 50% of CPAP users, he struggled to adapt to it and quit within the first year, but had to give it another chance after his health inevitably deteriorated.
- A CPAP was unnecessary at first, as he could manage his symptoms through undergoing surgery or using a dental device, but they progressed (as they generally do with age) to the point where he needed to start CPAP therapy.
In either case, he was probably sleep deprived for some time before his doctors noticed and advised him to start CPAP therapy. It can also often take at least six months to overcome sleep deprivation (it took more than 18 months in my case), and even longer to repair the damage it caused.
My sleep apnea is likely much worse than his, but I'm also half as old as him, and I would not describe my memory as fine. I never expect to remember important information unless I write it down immediately, and I sometimes struggle to remember the names of people I've worked with for several years. I've just had to accept that dealing with my poor memory is part of managing my symptoms. I don't think he deserves to be mocked, but I think he should accept that his memory is far from fine.
I'm 40 and therefore ancient in terms of internet years, but although I'm British (but one who was born to a Celt and an Southeast Asian born in a British colony, so don't judge me) I really don't remember how Ireland was viewed when I was younger. I didn't have much awareness of current events until I was at least 10, and the Good Friday agreement was signed when I was 15, so I always view the worst of the conflict as something that was before my time.
I know there was a whole stereotype about Irish terrorists, but was that ever used by politicians and/or media figures to prolong the conflict? Are there any verifiable examples of this such as articles or videos?
I like to sing eurodance classics, and most of them omit the rap verses. I've always been grateful that they do, because I'm scared it'll be cringe and sound like I have zero flow.
I saw some people on Reddit discussing whether someone was being orientalist, and I agreed they were simply by using the phrase "zen-like concentration". I'm not offended by them using this term, I just find it stupid. "Zen-like" has absolutely no meaning, but gives an air of eastern spirituality and mysticism. I personally think you should only be able to use that phrase if you can give a detailed and verifiable explanation about the differences between zen-like concentration, huayan-like concentration, mahasthabir nikaya-like concentration, and chan-like concentration, as well as recognize that the last one is exactly the same as zen.
And why is it only ever "zen-like"? I'm sure everyone would find it strange if Asians suddenly started to use the terms "seventh day adventism-like" or "independent fundamentalist baptist-like" to refer to the elements of American culture they find exotic.
I discovered what appears to be the only bar in my current country of residence that specializes in Peruvian pisco in December 2022. At first I went just to try a pisco sour, which I've long been interested in. After getting the chance to revisit it over the holidays, I experimented with different varieties and ways of serving it, and realized a short tonic is my favorite way to drink it without masking its natural flavor.
Previously, I mainly enjoyed cocktails and didn't have any particular favorite spirit, so this is all very new to me. Should I be taking every opportunity I can to inform people of my fondness for pisco and how my refined tastes are beyond the comprehension of the plebs who enjoy lesser drinks like beer, wine, or vodka? Just how far should I go? Am I now required to be a dick to Chileans and go out of my way to remind them that their pisco is shit, an opinion that I certainly have come to after extensive research and experimentation to form my own judgement, and am absolutely not parroting from opinionated reply guys? Are there any gender studies scholars who can help me with this?
Climate change is making the Middle East uninhabitable. This can only lead to two different outcomes for the state of Israel. We will either see a second holocaust by Israelis choosing to remain in their unsafe homeland, or their citizens will have no choice but to flee and once again be dispersed among other states, undermining the Jewish people’s right to self-determination.
Do not be fooled by so called pro-Israeli American Jewish conservatives who receive funding from fossil fuel companies. There’s a very good reason Ben Shapiro defends Israel from the comparative safety of America, all while enabling the fossil fuel industry to bring about the downfall of the Jewish state. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
How come you guys have a house speaker but no techno speaker? Isn't Detroit's legacy just as valid as Chicago's?
You may wonder what lead to this, so I must confess that I made the mistake of claiming that Palestinians deserve basic human rights (my exact words were "I support an end to the occupation.")
I used to think human rights were unconditional, but then someone told me that Palestinians are actually homophobic, so as any rational person capable of critical thinking and nuanced thought would do, I abandoned all of my values and pivoted to support for apartheid.
They made an excellent point, namely that I should support the murder and displacement of homophobes, which is why I propose the following.
Every queer person in North America will come together and form a milita. I'll assume George Soros will pay for everything. For your first mission, you'll take over the state of Florida. I have it on good authority from Conservatives that the US military has gone woke, so I expect them to cooperate with you.
To any Floridians reading this, you have 24 hours to leave before you are crushed under the high heels of the Pink Army. You brought this on yourself by voting for Ron Desantis. Do not resist. Bigots deserve bombs. Anyone who is opposed to this is a homophobe who supports Hamas and is literally worse than Hitler.
QUEER PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES!
