@StrongzeroTrpg Disbelieve. Sounds like outsider propaganda. They don't want this to work.

なんかちらほらツイッター上で日米トラブルも起き始めてるみたいな話が流れてきたが「本当か？」ってなる 私の観測範囲にいるアメリカ人たちは皆楽しそうにフロリダマンの話してるので、そんな空気感は全くない

@kengakusha1 I've always said that if I ever go to Japan, I want to see rural or suburban Japan. "Real Japan". I'm sure I'll get to see a city as I leave the airport, but the glamour seems unnecessary. I want to see a vending machine in a field, lol.

この5日間で学習しました あなた方はリアルな日本にとても興味があり 誇張された画像などは好まない それは本質的でないと理解していて 素朴で美しい日本であるとか 俺たち日本人が日常として気にもとめないような事の方に価値を見出している気がする それは景色や習慣だけでなく 日本人の考え方、思想に関しても同じように価値を見出してくれている それは大きな驚きだったし 共通点が多いのも嬉しい発見であった これからまだまだ発信していこうと思える よろしく

@realalicekato That's okay too. We can't take the attitude of needing to be glum because things aren't perfect. I don't think it's a coverup or even a distraction: it's people living their lives and not spending all day every day focusing on the bad.

As Japanese, I’m convinced we cover up the dark, sick side of our culture with cute/ kawaii things like Hello Kitty or Pokemon lol

As we say in America, "hold on to your butts". It's probably going to get weirder. As the novelty wears off, people will start to settle back down and the old favorite arguments will rise to the top again. Hopefully we can pick a few interesting people to hang onto before the tide goes back out.

朝からフォロワー２万になってるBOTを見たり、普通のナイジェリア人と喧嘩してるアメリカ人を見たり、今日の朝はあまり良くない

The thing I have recently come to realize is how America has no social rules at all. I mean, I knew this, but in comparison to Japan, I don't think Japanese people understand how lawless social interactions are in America. One person will be shy and very difficult to befriend. Another person will think you are best friends after chatting with you for 5 minutes (which I generally find annoying). There are no rules. There is no "normal" here. I once had a nice conversation with a lady and in the end she cussed at me because I didn't ask her for her phone number. I didn't want her number! I thought we were just having a nice chat! There are no rules and it confuses everyone here too, lol.

メリケン君、ネットでちょっとやり取りした人をフレンドと呼ぶのはいかがなものか

(Disclaimer: I am not a real Japanese person but I want to answer anyway!) "It depends." The general rule of thumb is cheaper sake is better hot. Higher quality sake is better cold. The real truth is that ideally you would try a particular sake at all temperatures. Different temperatures bring out different parts of the flavor, while masking others. There are some expensive sakes that I enjoy hot, and some cheap ones that are good cold, and others that I think are best at room temperature. I really like drinking sake hot, though, so I try to find ones that taste best when hot!

@iina_quu People here debate it, but I will as this question to a real Japanese person. Is Sake served better warm or cold?

勝手なイメージで申し訳ないんだけど、アメリカニキたちはガハガハ笑いながら、チーズバーガーと一緒にどんなバーボンでもコーラで割るとかしてグビグビ飲んでるんだろうなって思ってたんだけど みんな「いや、高いバーボンでコークハイとか勿体ないからやめとけ」って言ってて、なんかごめんねって

@May_Roma In the end, we wouldn't ask you to be more American, so you can't expect to ask Americans to be more Japanese. That said, people who are needlessly boorish should be blocked. They are unlikely to improve.

アメリカの方からこの様な投稿が大量に来るので私はアメリカが嫌いになり始めています。 Xの自動翻訳は失敗だったかもしれない。 アメリカのXユーザーは日本より遥かに不躾で怖い。アメリカ人は彼らを止めるべきだと思う。これではアメリカのイメージが日本では悪化する。 彼らは私は日本人だということを理解していない。そして彼らは私のように日本人が英語を身につけてアメリカで修士号を2つ取得するということがどういうことかを理解していない。

I like tipping, personally. And I go out a lot. I tip probably 4-6 times a week. I tip more than 20% unless service is very bad. I feel like it's a way to encourage better service. If tipping didn't exist, restaurants would just have to raise prices to cover higher salaries, and then I bet the good servers would end up making less money. Usually I find servers are against the idea of removing tips!

別にアメリカのチップ文化を全て否定するつもりはないんよ。 でもアメリカの人も「何にでもチップをたくさん取りすぎだ」って怒ってる動画を、YouTubeで見たりするもんだから。 物価も上がってるのにチップ払わないといけない客も大変だし、 チップがもらえないと収入が不足する職種も大変やん。

There are always extremists. Americans tend to be more outspoken, so our extremists are loud too. Left extremists aren't much worse than right extremists. If someone said anime was morally corrupt ("degenerate") then it was probably actually a right extremist. Some of them think such things. It's not a popular opinion here.

タイムラインに流れてこなかっただけで、ちゃんと日本人とアメリカ人の口論は起こってるんだなw

@pal9999 I think America largely accomplished what they wanted to already, which is greatly damage Iran's stockpile of rockets and complete destroy their war manufacturing capability. It will take Iran years to rebuild that capacity.

基本的にこの戦争はアメリカの負けっぽい。短期的にイランの優位は揺るがない。 ただ、これは３～５年の期間を置くとイランの有利がなくなる。 理由はホルムズ通行料をイランが設定した場合、ほぼ間違いなく、カナダアメリカのパイプラインが増設され、サウジとUAEもパイプラインを増設され、ベネズエラに大規模投資が行われる事になるから。 これによってホルムズ経由しなくても重質原油が市場に問題なく出回るようになる。 結果的にだけど、イランがホルムズで取る通行料自体が、世界中の「ホルムズを迂回する投資」にカネを流し込む結果になる訳。 そうなればホルムズカードは効かなくなり、次にアメリカが攻めてきた時の抑止力がなくなってしまう。 さらに悪いのは水問題がさらに悪化するってことだ。水ばかりはどうにもならないから。 長期的にはイランは詰んでる。詰んではいるが、短期的には叩き潰す方法はないってのが正直な所。

@Mynameis_BLK In defense of any protestors, an American military base full of young energetic American soldiers probably isn't the best representation of America either and I'm sure we misrepresent ourselves regularly enough there. But Japan probably does need that base, for now.

アメリカの人々って、日本の沖縄でアホの左翼活動家どもが「米軍基地移設反対」とか言って、米軍に向かって物凄い侮辱行動してるって知ってんのかな？

Yeah I've gotten the impression that Japanese treat the idea of "followers" very different. It explains something that happened to me on Instagram a couple years ago.... (if you are bored and want to read the story, read on! It is not very exciting.) I stumbled across a Japanese cosplayer on Instagram. Just some dude who dressed up as various anime characters and did a good job of it. I followed him. Instagram would occasionally send me "you might also like" type links to his friends, who were also cosplayers. I liked the costumes! I never tried to talk to any of them, I just was happy to see characters from different shows and how they did the clothing and accessories for it. I started following more of them. One day I just decided maybe it was weird to be following a bunch of Japanese cosplayers and maybe I should dial it down. So I unfollowed all but the first guy. I honestly didn't think any of them would care or possibly notice. The next day, every single one of them had blocked me.🤣 THEY KNEW! Maybe they are here somewhere reading all these exchanges and hopefully understand that I didn't mean any offense to any of them. I didn't think they would even notice. Americans are very casual about such things. I'm sad that I probably hurt their feelings.

日本人とアメリカ人のXユーザーの違いは、日本人はFF外の人の返信は嫌がったり、巻き込みリプを毛嫌いする傾向があるが、アメリカ人は全然気にしないってこと。私は昔からアメリカ風に気にせずどこにでも口を出してるけどね。

@seigihakatta Aw. I wonder what I'd do in real life, seeing this. The temptation to pretend not to notice would be normal. But a well dressed person who seems to take care of themselves and is just having a really bad day would make me want to sit down and ask them about their day.

海外の方々はこれを見て どう感じるのだろう？ 深夜の電車で泣きながらサンドイッチを食べるサラリーマン さん🥹🥹🙏

@kengakusha1 Hm, no. I think the truth is that the people who act like that in Japan also act like that at home and it's just the kind of person they are. They either don't realize or don't care what other people think of it. America has no "normal" anymore.

ひょっとして日本で迷惑行為をしている白人は母国で迫害されていてストレスが溜まっているため 安く来れる日本で羽を伸ばしているのか？ それは迷惑でしかないし 日本を舐めすぎだと思う 実際のところどうなんだろう ここにいる保守のみんなはどう思う？

It's mostly an internet phenomena. I would bet none of them talk like that at home, at work, or in the bar. I think it's unfortunate really. But I think on the internet you have a mindset of "I can't convince anyone, therefore I will win points of my own by insulting them." For what it's worth, I find myself being far nicer than usual on X, even in political debates, because I just came here for the Japanese chat and everyone is so much more polite and it makes me want to be more polite.

アメリカ人のレスバを通知欄で延々と読まされている。 なるほど、これはなかなか過激だｗ 糞だの変態だの人外だの、そんな言葉が平然と飛び交っている。 日本ではSNSの悪口で精神を病んだという話をよく聞くけれど、多少の罵声で動じないように、いっそ向こうの地獄でメンタルを鍛えてきたほうがいいのかもしれない。

@shion0_25mg Looks fantastic. Much more traditional American now (on the right). You can also put cheese on the eggs. I, of course, like American cheese (it is a very soft and mild cheese) but "pepper jack" cheese (a white cheese with hot pepper flakes in it) is a second favorite.

アメリカの皆様、世界の皆様こんにちは！ 料理が好きな日本人です！ 先日、皆様にいただいたアドバイスを参考に アメリカ風朝食を改善してみました！ いかがですか？ コーヒーが飲めないため日本で買ったお茶を使用しましたが、全てのメニューが美味しかったです 教えてくれてありがとう！！ before→after

@BlackDumpling Yes, as you said in the end, Poland is different. "Europe" is really "western Europe". Eastern Europe had a different experience growing up, which Western Europe somehow learned nothing from.

It's a truth Americans ignored. We told ourselves hatred from Europe wasn't anything special because everyone hated us. Because there was something about us that deserved it. Deserved contempt, vitriol. But no, truth is Europe hates us because there's something wrong with them. Breaking the language barrier with Japan has made it abundantly clear that Americans aren't beholden to a Europe that constantly stabs us in the back. Counts every single favor as some outsized gift that we should count our blessings to have, considers every debt to us as a matter of just what we owe them for being what we are. Consider every interaction you've had with a European, or even Canadian, where they've treated American-ness like it was some sort of disease, a malady, a "thing" that made you inferior. That you owed them some otherwise unspoken apology for. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. You do. We've all encountered it, sometimes daily. None of it was true of course, but that didn't matter to them. Piggish Americans. Stupid Americans. Buffoonish Americans. For the longest time we've treated Europe like that angry friend who constantly says mean spirited cruel things, but really loves you in the end and will always have your back. When, no, Europe just hates us. Europe plays at being our friend because it needs us but then promptly knifes us in the back and twists it just to hear the sucking sound every chance they get. It's time to be honest with ourselves. It's not us, it's them, and they've been telling us how much they hate us for decades. It's time we believed them. It's time we acted accordingly. None of this applies to Poland. You're cool. Also we like Italy's Prime Minister. She's cool. Żadna z tych rzeczy nie dotyczy Polski. Polska jest spoko. Inoltre, ci piace la Prima Ministra dell’Italia. È cool.

@Salamoons @chicfryrice Oddly the ratio is the same here. Japan 80% approval. There's a Gallup (famous polling place) article about it. They are the #1 Asian country for Americans.

@chicfryrice 8割の日本人はアメリカ人の事が好きで 残りの2割の日本人は残念な人だ

Can you tell me something about Japan that I wouldn’t know as an American?

@MakoLikesUMP9 @T_T1116__ Well, it's a start.

@T_T1116__ i have the same question.. do we just talk?

@jeosg7393 Same thing you'd say to all the people dodging them now. At least we could make a hard military target instead of letting them bomb airports.

アメリカ人でまだ正気保ってて政治経済のニュース見てる人に正直な分析を聞きたいのだけれど、トランプは2~3週間後に本当に撤退出来ると思う？ イスラエルがなりふり構わず引き留めて、また何週間も攻撃するだけだと思ってるし、日本に石油は届かないし、いずれアニメも作れなくなると思ってる。
