@CnnmnSchnpps @milkmaniac @CacheThatCheque True, lotsa chubby ones, and increasing. Still a much lower % than North America.

@anroy_research @milkmaniac @CacheThatCheque There are plenty of chubby Japanese girls 😅 Wealth is a relative concept through. Japan-wealthy is not US-wealthy

There are a record 4.12m foreigners now living in Japan. Coming to Japan has worked out well for me: I have PR, a house, a family, and have achieved a decent level of wealth. But if making money is your goal, I’d go elsewhere than Japan at 160 yen/ USD www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ne…

@BatmansStepbro @CacheThatCheque Hopefully. Indians also have to do their part, to get there.

@anroy_research @CacheThatCheque They'll be liked and respected in 10 years again, every nationality get's a racist hate phase apparently

Twitter today could never comprehend this

@ai_for_success 外国の人々は分断に疲れたではないでしょうか

こんにちは、みなさん。私はアシュトシュ・シュリヴァスタヴァです。AIについて投稿しています。 なぜ最近みんなが日本やXにそんなに夢中なのか分からなくて、正直聞くのがちょっと怖いです。

@Brian5_8_1899 @ramprasad_c I think it's an economics problem: What level of curry smell will people endure, for an increased tax base? And if it further increases, will they happily tolerate even more of the smell? How far does this scale before it's unbearable or people start to die?

@ramprasad_c Ok but how do you compare them paying higher taxes with never wearing deodorant and stinking up everywhere they go?

They pay more taxes than an average American, which pays for welfare that people like you use. They also help you with X monetization which you desperately need because you have no useful skills.

@ESRogs @signulll I'll read his mind. He meant a small clustering of countries (or maybe just 2: USA and Canada), that are several SDs less racist than all the rest.

@signulll Yeah but which do you mean? Least racist by far, or just one of the least racist?

america is one of very few countries that has even tried to build a multiethnic democracy at scale, & the fact that it has a visible, loud, ongoing discourse about racism is actually evidence of relatively low tolerance for it compared to countries where racial hierarchy is just... ambient & unremarked upon. japan (lol very obvious now), korea, much of europe, india's caste system, han chauvinism in china, ethnic dynamics across the gulf states.. most of these societies don't even have the vocabulary for the conversation america tortures itself over daily. america is quite literally is one of the least if not the least racist countries on the planet, & it's not even close.

@signulll True dat

@brianyun @rieglobe My moot @eigo_perapera1 is probably a super-famous celeb, and this is her account where she can be herself.

@rieglobe The anonymity on twitter also allowed multiple personas. We had looked into this and found that avg active user in Japan had around 2.1 personas and heavy users had around 4 to 5. People customized their feed per each persona and it helped create bidirectional social graph.

The reason X/twitter won Japan is simple: Both twitter & facebook entered Japan in 2008. Facebook forced real names in a country raised on anonymous internet culture (2ch, Mixi). So Facebook became performative, basically LinkedIn. Twitter let you be pseudonymous. Cat/dog/anime profiles took over. So that’s where people were most authentic and ideas flowed.

@juliarturc It's better here in Japan. But what you describe was inevitable in the U.S. Massive investments and valuations will lead to that. In any field where lots of money gets moved around, inevitably the scum rises. Politics is the classic example.

Why so many of us feel career-homeless in tech: >Startups full of fraud, grifters and short-term thinking >FAANG full of politics and slightly behind >Frontier labs in a race with no morals >Academia full of title collectors >Content creation ridden by AI fakes and sensationalism Who is starting the renaissance and how do I get in touch with them?

@CacheThatCheque True! 😅 I'd like to think we've avoided becoming like an unhappy older Japanese couple, but wanting the fella out of the house is probably immutable!

@anroy_research Teaching online for pocket money might be easier but ALT work would get you out of the house (wife may prefer that 😂)

Not sure how many would do it but coming to Japan in your 30s, 40s or 50s to work as an ALT perhaps wouldn’t be so horrible if you already have assets: you’d get a visa, something to do everyday without huge amounts of stress or responsibility, time off, and no money worries

@milkmaniac @CacheThatCheque Oh man, so many low-probability factors to clear: Inaka yet rich, rich yet homely/fat, Japanese yet homely/fat for that matter... Probably better odds in just grinding to wealth!

@CacheThatCheque path of least resistance: marry a homely 田舎 fat chick with family wealth

@TechLayoffLover Here in Japan, companies only lay off people as a last resort when they’re in trouble. Boards do their to best balance the needs of shareholders, employees, and communities. In the US it’s about shareholders, period.

**ORACLE IS ABOUT TO MASSACRE 30,000 WORKERS WHILE LARRY ELLISON SITS ON $201 BILLION** The company just posted a 95% jump in net income to $6.13 billion Record fucking quarter And they're planning the largest layoff in Oracle's 47-year history Sources saying 18% of the entire global workforce is getting torched That's 30,000 human beings with mortgages and kids and car payments While Larry Ellison was literally the richest person on Earth for three weeks last September $393 billion net worth at the peak The man could lose $201 billion tomorrow and still have more money than 99.9% of humans will see in 1,000 lifetimes Oracle's "workforce optimization" (their actual words) comes down to one simple equation: $6.13 billion in quarterly profit ÷ 30,000 eliminated salaries = even more billions for shareholders The press release will say they're "streamlining operations to focus on cloud and AI capabilities" Translation: we're firing 30,000 people because we can replace them with software and nobody can stop us I'm hearing the cuts hit hardest in support, consulting, and mid-level engineering The exact people who built this company while Larry collected yachts If you're at Oracle right now, your badge might not work Monday morning

@Justfilmi @gyozaskirt Was this a common pairing in Vancouver?

@gyozaskirt Lmao looks like this age old phenomenon has made it out of Vancouver Canada 👀

seeing a lot of asian girl + brown boy couples lately #noticing

@Fly_LewisT @HMBrough_ Of course I can’t describe everyone. I’m assuming that is understood. Also, if you’re talking about posters on X, this site attracts the most vile people from any country. They’re not representative.

@anroy_research @HMBrough_ You talk as if you are referring to everyone True, not every Japanese are like that but the fact half of theme are targeting Chinese and Muslim mostly speaks volumes I already encountered 2 Japanese attitudes I hate, they cannot speak nicely is it

From what my partner tells me, Taiwan is basically the cool version of Japan: 1) Less stuffy locals (nobody will care if you walk while eating or talk on a train) 2) SLIGHTLY more xenophilic locals (if you’re brown this is important) 3) Way less touristy, but just as cheap and orderly 4) Tastier (albeit fattier) street food

@eigo_perapera1 Exactly, 🐴🍅 😅

@anroy_research うまとま🐴🍅

Matsuya Gyudon, my fave Japanese fast food. Hamburg steak set with tomato sauce.

@F0ODHub White wine or Japanese sake

What drink goes best with this?

@gyozaskirt I guess I was a pioneer!
