@WKahneman Secret is to move to a country where your primary language is only used by a minority of the population and be in a time zone that most people who do speak your language are sleeping. I've only seen the servers overloaded once, but I hear it happens frequently

@GearoidReidy Probably the same type of person who uses a MacBook at the coffee shop just to file a story instead of using the perfectly good iPhone in their pocket. One guy insists on using a physical keyboard and the other insists on high def audio

Not passing judgement but can someone explain the use case in 2023 for a separate, $400 portable device for listening to music on the go, that isn't your phone?

@Ishikawa_Sachi Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. Tumble dry low

@David_Leheny Next time, put your money on “maintaining regional stability through freedom of navigation.”

If you happen to live in Japan and you sometimes happen to make toast then I’m curious how exactly you do so. An old-fashioned upright toaster. A toaster oven. Or perhaps the ever-versatile fish grill.

The only reason I don't block about 50 accounts a day is because I don't want to be subject to one of those "Hey, why'd he block me" threads and then everyone else goes "Yeah, never liked that motherfucker anyway" and then you have to go live in a cave off the coast of Shiretoko.

@David_Leheny Surprised Hanyu was the main "individual athlete" mentioned. Recency bias? I'd think most "outraged devotees of the Japanese language" 😂 would have gone straight to sumo wrestlers. Or maybe they're not as enthusiastic about sports as they are about being a bunch of squares

@David_Leheny Beautiful! I feel this escapes all but the niche audience of sports historians who happen to be lifelong observers of Japanese society AND either doctorate level linguists or very casual speakers who might try to katakana-ize "individual" hoping someone understands

@clpearce I wonder if they're flipping the dollars they bought 10+ years ago for yen this year 🤔 That'd be a heckuva trade

@DanielAWarriner Don't rush out to buy this new (at least not before someone returns some documents 🙈), but maybe interesting if you find it in a library or second hand book store

A friend just pointed out that the word “embattled” is only used in news headlines. No regular person ever uses it in conversation, nor is it even used when describing war or military units. It’s a word ONLY used in headlines, typically describing CEOs or politicians.

don’t ask a man his salary, don’t ask a woman her age, and don’t ask about the major reason japanese phones can’t turn off their phone’s camera shutter sound.

''Never in my life have I met humans as civilized as the Japanese. They're the true resemblance of image of God. During my first trip to Japan, a colleague from the US forgot his laptop at the park of all places. We rushed back there and the place was closed for the day.
