I haven't been to Japan in ages and would love to visit. I've been curious about checking out Okinawa for a while, too.

They'll have new holes with no teeth. Maybe they can call it doing the Hisoka because it has the properties of both rubber and gum.

My experience with UM et al is cavity inducing sweetness of tone while spouting racist BS.

Student suicides in Japan hit all-time high in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

I don't think that's how I would put it, the not Japanese enough, nor put self harm in a positive light...

Anyway, examples:

High stakes testing throughout schooling. A lot of your path is decided before you can reasonably be expected to be responsible for it. The first minute of this is a bit more poetic about it https://youtu.be/P07rqHQ35hU

Work culture. There's a word in Japanese that means death from overwork. Bosses can be really shitty. Leaving a job is a big deal. (This could be too much for a kid because this shitty life is what they're working so hard toward)

Bullying and conformity. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Individual expression is becoming easier, but it's still pretty difficult, especially at school and work.

Loneliness. There's a concept of the true self vs the public self. It's more difficult to connect when you're always masking.

After our spat, she stayed up working late yet again. (programming.dev)
 

When she finally came to bed to spoon and apologize, again, we fit together oddly because she was now a foot too long.

Starting with my fingers, I began to slowly and painfully crumble into sand. (programming.dev)
 

By the time it was too much, I didn't have the ability to do anything about it but scream.

Mod [email protected] posted a really creepy and pro-pedophilia post at https://lemmy.cafe/post/11105990

Mod immediately bans the two people that call it out as trolls.

Update: post is locked after two more bans

I didn't want her taking my other eye, too.

Hunting and fishing are for psychopaths (programming.dev)
 

I'm not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I'm talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they're obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the "tradition" stuff, it's just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don't tell me it's to eat, like I said, I'm not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don't tell me you're respectful to the animals you kill; I don't believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.

Knives go in the dishwasher and get sharpened with a pull through sharpener (programming.dev)
 

My tools serve me, not the other way around. It's not worth the time and effort to wash by hand or sharpen on a whetstone. I don't need an expensive knife to cook at home. A pull through sharpener and honing steel are adequate. Get the right material and you don't have to worry about the metal in the dishwasher.
