It's made to look like that on purpose, but it's kept. It's the counter reaction to the biodiversity disaster of loan monoculture style like you often see in USA suburbs. I actually enjoy the feeling of wilderness.

Doesn’t everybody need to known/try to speak japanese ?

There are Western companies and Westernized Japanese companies in Japan that don't require any Japanese level for IT, although they require English. Sometimes they only require a certain TOEIC score, which is only reading and writing comprehension, no writing or talking test. Also, in my case, it seems it is more lax with sub-contractors.
Only requiring English for IT is common in the startup ecosystem all over the world.

There's a visa type for engineers and specialits, sponsored by the recruiting company, that lasts 5 years. But it depends on your country of origin too and diplomatic relationships, a recent Chinese joinee only has a 3 months visa for now.

Except the order goes the other way.

You should ha voided that.

Slightly better than "vegetable sleuth".

As I said, most of the points made in the video I didn't think about before, and I find it interesting to know other reasons why people play old games or are patient gamers, that's why I shared it here. I think the person is simply expressing her taste, maybe it's traditional stereotypes for some people, but you can't decide of your tastes, I didn't find it hateful. Now people who defend trans people found this video offensive, which I was miles away from expecting, and many people decided to jump on this wagon and decided this is a hateful post based on prior comments without watching the video. Also as I said other places, I am not knowledgeable in trans defense, so maybe it's possible they are correct.

Can you use garlic as a contraceptive in this case?

I see what you mean but I think there's quite an intersection with patient gamers reasons.

Ok, I was not considering this point of view at all when I shared this. I was thinking that's a different point of view on patient gaming that I didn't have.

Résumé exécutif

Le projet Politoscope observe depuis 2016 le militantisme politique sur X/feu-Twitter. Nous avons développé des méthodes pour analyser les dynamiques sociales et de débats, ainsi que les manipulations d’opinions.

Permettant de passer en accéléré ces dynamiques sociales, il est possible de caractériser un processus d’affaiblissement puis d’inversion du front républicain à l’approche des législatives de 2024 et d’identifier les stratégies de subversion qui l’ont favorisé. Ces stratégies de basse intensité, pilotées ou influencées pour la plupart par le Kremlin, se déploient sur des échelles de temps trop longues pour que les acteurs du débat en aient conscience. Elles visent à déstructurer la société française de manière systémique pour provoquer une transition vers une société fermée ou une démocratie illibérale.

Dans un contexte de reconfiguration brutale de l’espace politique suite à la dissolution de l’Assemblée nationale, les efforts du Kremlin sont sur le point de payer. Cette étude identifie une convergence d’intérêts entre le régime de Poutine et l’extrême-droite française. Elle explicite certaines mesures actives mises en place par le Kremlin depuis au moins 2016 pour déstabiliser la société française et montre comment certaines d’entre-elles entrent en synergie ces jours-ci pour faire tomber voire s’inverser le front républicain. Ceci est la dernière étape avant la prise de contrôle de la France par des personnalités politiques moins hostiles au régime de Poutine.

Dans ce dispositif, les communautés politiques préoccupées par le conflit israélo-palestinien et la montée de l’antisémitisme ou de l’islamophobie sont instrumentalisées afin de compromettre tout barrage contre une extrême-droite banalisée au second tour des législatives.

There's a Samurai and a Joker. The joker says he wants to legalize cannabis and rename the Shibuya district to "drug-addict" district.
As far as I understand, Japanese people are fairly politically apathetic and abstention is very high.

Edit: governor, not mayor.

Le lien pour voter se trouve à la fin de la liste des circulaires des candidats de la circonscription : https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/services-aux-francais/voter-a-l-etranger/elections-legislatives-2024/consulter-les-circulaires-des-candidats-et-voter-par-internet/article/consulter-les-circulaires-des-candidats-11eme-circonscription

Pour se connecter, un identifiant envoyé par courriel, un mot de passe envoyé par SMS. Un troisième code envoyé par courriel pour confirmer le vote.

Interface simple et efficace, un peu lente depuis Tokyo. Le code de confirmation a mis quelques minutes à arriver, j'ai rafraichi trop tôt par impatience, ce qui a annulé le code précédant. Au bout du 3ᵉ coup, ça a fonctionné. Au final ça m'a pris environ 15 min, tranquillement depuis chez moi.

 
 

I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything. There are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask "Why are we here?" I might think about it a little bit, and if I can't figure it out then I go on to something else. But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose - which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell.

 

They contain a sweet honey that you can taste by sucking the bottom, a friend made me taste. I just did some research about it for this post. It appears some are actually toxic, and it's very hard to tell the difference.

An illustration of the "ultra free" market in Japan, is the insane amount of ways to pay at the cashier. It seems every financial group thought they could do better than the other, and for some reason I don't understand, they didn't eat each other, they just coexist.

The main categories are: bank card, payment apps connected to bank account, transportation cards, electronic money. They may work through card reader, no-contact, bar code scan or QR code scan. For the last two, you are either scanned or you have to scan them.

Also, Japan loves "points". If you know the cashback system, where you get something like 1% of your bill back, in Japan they usually get points back, which are of course limited to shops accepting those points. So on top of payment methods you also have a dozen of points system, either specific to the shop brand or from a different company that may have agreements with different merchants.

Despite that, cash remains essential, it's very common to end up in a restaurant that only accepts cash, even the convenience of paying your house bills at the konbini requires cash.

 

I'm not super convinced by the water jet. It can make a mess, it requires a lot of paper to dry if you don't want to wet your pants and if you don't have soap, are you really cleaning?
Heating seat feels like overabundance (a common thing in Japan).
But the sink to clean your hands and reuse this gray water for the next flush is amazing. I think it should be made mandatory in every region with water resources issues. It's still not clear to me, however, if using soap there will cause more maintenance issues or not.
