In Japan, you can be on the hook (sued) for knowingly engaging in a relationship with someone you know to be married. It’s usually about breaking up the marriage, from what I understand. Sex of the people involved doesn’t matter here.

Japan does not grant citizenship to those born here. There are multiple ways to acquire Japanese citizenship, most of which are based on the most recent couple generations of parents/grandparents. Multiple citizenship technically isn’t allowed, either. Anyone naturalizing to Japanese citizenship must relinquish their existing citizenship(s) unless the other country does not allow relinquishing. If found out, the Japanese government can take action to revoke citizenship (or at least parts of it; there are actually court cases about this).

Maybe something with potatoes? Fairly decent nutrition (though carb heavy if you care about that), cheap, and lots of ways to prep it (including forgetting about it in an oven for a couple hours with some salt on the outside wrapped in foil)

Maybe make an egg? Fried, scrambled, boiled, whatever. Start small and iterate. Next time maybe make some eggs with cheese or something else. You probably have all the equipment to do this and eggs shouldn’t be hard to find. Good luck!

I’m shocked that this is still news as often as he seems to speak without thinking

I was wondering if it were tied to recent court decisions in Korea to allow someone to sue over wartime labour, but it looks like this has been going on a lot longer.

For the Koreans I met who moved to Japan, the work culture can be less bad, as can be working at certain companies despite where they graduated from. My sample size is small, though, and I am neither Japanese nor Korean.

Yep.　裸祭り -> hadaka matsuri -> naked festival

shriners?

神主 (kannushi) is apparently the term for the head priest. Not sure who made the decision, though.

Japan allows women (…)

A shrine in Japan which is legally distinct from the Japanese government (especially post-WWII)

I oppose the death penalty in very nearly every circumstance. I think that prisons should be more about rehabilitation that just brutish punishment (but the punishment exists at least in part to avoid extra-judicial attacks by the victims who feel the perpatrator was not justly punished). Some people, of course, cannot be rehabilitated and, in that case, I would lean toward life in prison.

I’ve been living in Japan the better part of a decade and don’t have strong opinions on anime or the like (I couldn’t tell you what KyoAni has made)

The netuyo are probably whinging about it, but I stay away from those corners of the internet. Osaka Naomi and others have faced issues as well. Mostly, from what I remember, it’s been sports competitions where this comes up

They’re dentists’ drills; the sound alone is horrifying! (I have nothing useful to add)

Monotropism Score: 181 / 235

Your Average: 3.93

I’m Monotropic, Now What?

This score suggests that you are more Monotropic than about 27% of autistic people and about 90% of allistic people based on data from the initial validation study.

I’ve never been officially diagnosed with any time of autism. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid in the early 80s, though was not medicated and unaware until sometime after I graduated high school; my parents just neglected to tell me until then.

That would be some shit if Japan stopped being rabies free because of human bites.

I actually got board, got a new HDD, and got linux mint on it. It doesn’t seem to have a bootloader installed and trying to install grub2 hasn’t changed anything. I’m also pretty disappointed in game support. Maybe I’m missing something, but Steam knows it’s on linux and a huge number of games in my library just say they run on windows or windows and mac.

I’ll check it out. Thanks!

One of my goals after moving is to get another HDD and dual-boot as I transition away. I mostly have to figure out gaming and video editing stuff. I will also probably run WINE just for notepad++ because I can’t quit it with the textfx tools (so far as I know, the linux clone was abandoned, sadly).

I’ve been using H&R block, but every year shit breaks and I have to fight with them. Latest was that my NRA wife broke all their validations (despite it properly flagging her an NRA)

I can’t wait to use it, but it seems it doesn’t support overseas income yet and I live full-time outside of the US (and yes we legally have to file taxes every year even if we won’t owe anything).
