@Brother_BBQ_ @bunburyoudoujp Indeed but the Japanese vs British, Australian, American ratio in a Hub vs equivalent pubs elsewhere is significant. That includes the staff.

@TeoSelander @bunburyoudoujp There's plenty of assholes in Hub, they're all British tourists 😂

The best way to learn good spoken Japanese is not by getting a Japanese girlfriend.
The best way is to make a bunch of salaryman friends at the local standing bar. They will teach you real Japansse.

@Brother_BBQ_ @bunburyoudoujp How dare you besmirch Hub. All Nippon gate keepers like to crap on Hub but the fact is that Hub is like a British pub but without the assholes.

Neanderthal genome is largely known. If it becomes possible to reconstruct a live Neanderthal person, what, in your opinion, would be the pros and cons? I’m genuinely interested in canvassing opinions for and against.

@tanpukunokami Why do Japanese people like 10cm of foam on their beers?
English
A can of beer that pours its own foam.
Japan just casually invented this
and moved on.

I would argue that one thing missing from Japan, or certainly most discourse within the country, is the sense described here -- of how many things the country has gotten right, whether through luck or otherwise. Comparisons to overseas tend to overemphasize things Japan "lacks"

I have been in Tokyo for one week now. This is my fifth time, but the first just “existing” – no sightseeing, etc, just living locally. There are so many things the Japanese get right (and so few they get wrong) that being here is a delight. I hope they know how lucky they are!

@CacheThatCheque I’m doing a bit of watch scouting mainly for old Breitlings and I came across what I think is one of Seikos all sub-brands “Oceanus”… How am I supposed to pronounce that? All I can see is 美味しいanus…

Was following after this kei car today. Not going particularly fast but at every curve of the road he’d deliberately drive into the right lane before moving back into the left. Such weird driving.

Catholicism replacing Shinto and Buddhism would fundamentally change Japanese culture.
You are Indian and don’t understand or respect Japanese religion and culture.
Mafuyu@asahinades
@bunburyoudoujp @miyako_no_59 No it wouldn't change the culture,it's only you who are insisting that when the japanese Christians themselves respect the culture

This castrato @justintrudeau will go down in history as arguably one of the worst degenerate politicians that the West has ever seen. No hyperbole. I'm understating the damage that he has permanently caused.
