@OliverJia1014 I need to get one of those haha. ATM just have a microwave and toaster. Plan to buy one when one of those break

@shchmtky I did it via my toaster oven!

Successfully made traditional Italian lasagna! Been a long time. It’s indeed a lot of work and doing a real bolognese sauce requires at least 2 hours of simmering, but it’s well worth it. Do not skip out on high quality cheese and making your own béchamel sauce either.

Bench in a shady spot, cool breeze, sounds of the baseball game nearby.. suburban Tokyo parks are some of the best.

@tanpukunokami Because I work from home the child’s daycare hours are from around 8:30 - 17:30. I also understand that this comes at the cost of less income which makes buying a house, etc. more difficult. Finding the perfect balance is tough..

I got a message from my child’s daycare saying, “We can look after your child until 8 p.m.” I’m grateful. Really. But it also made me a little sad. Instead of a society where parents can leave their children at daycare until 8 p.m., wouldn’t it be much better to have a society where people can finish work at 3 p.m. and spend the evening with their kids? That feels like a much richer life to me.

@AvaVtuber_ At least 2nd time I’ve seen this tweet lol

why are men always ok with doing nothing for their birthday???

@OliverJia1014 Having a young kid it’s go to sleep around 10 and wake up at 5 so that shit can get done and I still have my own personal time.

The only reason to wake up that early and exercise is if your life is so busy you can’t do it at any other time. But you also need to get 7-8 hours of sleep beforehand. Exercising on 4-5 hours of sleep is bloody awful and you’ll achieve nothing.

@ameliarenataa_ Wasting..?

Wow, wasting water

Nothing like half price ガスト beers on a Saturday.

@Capito_Nihongo I remember going to the local ARIO and seeing an endless line and wondering what the hell it was for.. turned out it was Pokémon Cards.

Es ist seit Jahren einfach super schwer in Japan Pokemon Karten zu kaufen, da es viele Vietnamesen und Chinesen gibt, die alles leerkaufen, um die Karten dann weiterzuverkaufen. Es nervt einfach nur noch. Mein Sohn und ich möchten einfach ein paar Karten kaufen, um damit zu spielen und sie zu sammeln, aber jedes Mal, wenn wir in ein Geschäft kommen, wo gerade neue Karten reingekommen sind, erscheinen ganze Gruppen von Vietnamesen und kaufen ohne Ende und missachten vor allem die Regeln. Eigentlich darf jeder an einem Tag nur eine bestimme Anzahl an Packs kaufen. Die ziehen sich aber einfach einen anderen Hut auf und stellen sich wieder an. Dadurch können weniger Leute Karten bekommen. Das ist einfach nicht fair, vor allem den Kindern gegenüber und man sollte was dagegen tun.

@farzyness Closed X to check and there it was..

Whoever designed this needs to be fired immediately:

@aki_yattemiru あり。絶対

味噌汁に玉ねぎはあり？なし？

Actually nicer than I was expecting (but seemingly pretty high in calories). Wouldn’t mind trying mixing it with a spiced rum or something.

@CacheThatCheque I’ve of course learnt how to write them before, but will sometimes blank on one when writing as there’s rarely ever a need to write by hand. Id like to learn to write Japanese fluently but its hard to justify the time investment in this era.

“…he was still not able to write basic hiragana and katakana characters, despite having lived in the country for nine years” Dude had a doctoral degree but couldn’t bother to learn hiragana and katakana. How tf do people like this exist? #Echobox=1778578206" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/05/1…

@Airaxora Increase the periods after the okay by as many as possible

how do you text "okay" but in the rudest way possible

The wind has died down and now it’s a light cool afternoon breeze in Tokyo. These 無糖s have a bit of an artificial taste but are quite easy to drink. 乾杯

@kikomotu 11時でも朝ですか？。。

@Bornakang Can I mix and match if I’m ambidextrous? (I’m not)

Im genuinely confused

@ick_real A lady (maybe a witch?) would chase me through a park with lots of yellow flowers. Forgot about it until I saw this post.

did anyone else have a really vivid dream/nightmare as a child that they remember to this day and it has never left your mind orrr ??

@Jdaflame I’ve found that novels are easier to understand than non fiction books. Japan has tonnes of mystery/crime stuff which is good. For example, 告白 or 光

I need to start writing more in Japanese and I also need to start reading more material but low level easy Japanese books. Any recommendations?
