My most popular tweet of all time (15 million views) was a translation of a very popular Japanese meme that explained why Japanese consumers do not want American cars. Trump does not seem to understand why U.S. cars are unsuited to the Japanese market. x.com/mrjeffu/status…

A viral meme summarizing decades of U.S. complaints about Japan not buying enough American cars (while not making the kind of cars Japanese consumers actually want):

Trump's 90 day pause on tariffs against Japan will come to an end soon. He told Fox News that he can send a letter: "Dear Mr. Japan, here's the story. You're going to pay a 25% tariff on your cars." That would deal serious economic damage to a major ally.

I think there are a lot of people, and this applies to me too, who are too stubborn to ever admit they're wrong. They'll go to lengths to "prove their point". This is why I don't engage online. Go grab a drink and discuss with buddies, not randos.

You’re telling me a black man was the closest actor they could find to Snape in the whole world?? He has a literal clone just walking about and you cast a black guy?!?!

Worked on a game with an older lady that used 90’s slang to date herself. So what’s the problem with using modern slang in game dialogue again?

The anti-loc crowd proving once again they are absolutely toxic. What else is new? Andrew, you may not see this. I don't blame you if you muted this thread. But just know there are SO many fans who are thankful for the work you've done for Trails. Keep doing what you love. 👏
Andrew Wallace@TheSlyArtist

WORK ANNOUNCEMENT! I was the lead editor on Trails through Daybreak II! I edited 2/3rds of the main story and was a producer on the game's English dub. I helped a little with casting and provided supporting direction during all of the game's voiceover sessions at PCB.

If I ever get to work on a Pokémon game, I hope they credit me as Professor Ok (since it's pronounced "oak") I mean the president of Nintendo America is "Bowser" so hey, maybe it'll happen

@DougDinsdale I’m looking to build a budget gaming rig but the specs listed looks like it could be cheaper if he just bought a premade laptop. Unless the project is to build the pc in which case I’m all for it

TL: Son listed up what's needed for a PC. But it costs over 100K yen.😱 He's in grade 4, so his allowance is 400/month. For cleaning the bathtub and sink he gets 600/month. Total 1000 yen. Maybe take it out of the household budget for the number of likes... (Like the OG post!)

息子が自作PCを作りたいと必要な物をパソコンで書き出してくれたんだけど、合計10万円以上する…😱 お小遣いは小4だから月400円。 お風呂掃除は毎日やってくれているし、洗面台洗ってくれたら20円として、毎日してくれれば、月600円で、合わせて月1000円かぁ…。 イイネの数だけ家計から出すか🤣

A viral video shows a sushi restaurant that serves sea urchin directly onto the hand of a customer and sprinkles gold dust (?) on it. Many Japanese netizens are calling this "vulgar." [There also appears to be a Louis Vuitton suitcase on the counter.]

When you “fail” an interview because the only question they asked you was “when can you start?” And you say next week instead of tomorrow.

Just watched the latest ep of Stone World on Netflix, and this seems like a mistranslation for 自力復活者 but I suppose story and flow wise it works. My take would've been "Could it be that someone revived on their own like Senku?"
