Yen has devalued so much that for the first time in the 15 years I’ve lived here it’s cheaper to buy local whey protein than import from myprotein.

@gotrice2024 This guy is not a tourist. He works as a host in Japan. The girl literally said “I know you!” In the beginning of the video.

@mat_coyg @mrjeffu They could add a homicide charge later. They probably initially arrested him for dueling since it was easy to get an indictment. Happens pretty often where the perpetrator is initially charged with something like illegal handling of a corpse then a murder charge added after.

[TrainwreckJP @TrainwreckJP]

Doesn’t commit further crimes for two years it’s a life sentence? In jail? What’s he going to do, shank a middle manager?

One good thing about two weeks off the gym is my nagging shoulder and hip pain went away.

[TrainwreckJP @TrainwreckJP]

Caught a cold and didn't go to the gym for two weeks. first week back with lighter weights and half volume. Crazy DOMS. Guess this is what middle age brings.

Can someone explain how conservative religious values is apparently, “woke”

[TrainwreckJP @TrainwreckJP]

Ahh yes, the older generation never regularly ate karaage, kushikatsu, tonkatsu, or tempura. I’m surprised restaurants in Osaka survived for so long. Complete mystery.

[TrainwreckJP @TrainwreckJP]

So tired of this Orientalism fetish. The difference is she’s dressed as a sleep deprived student studying a cram book preparing for entrance exams. If it was some random ojisan smelling like alcohol and overwork he’d be woken up real quick

[The Figen @TheFigen_]

The difference ...

I think Asian people value respect very much.

[TrainwreckJP @TrainwreckJP]

Great example of how literal translation doesn’t work with Japanese

[Interesting AF @interesting_aIl]

If English was spoken like Japanese 🇯🇵

@dadsweb67 Most people enroll in a driving school to get their license and it’s the method taught in them. You’ll see cars pull in head first in front of convenience stores but most people are just used to backing in.

Kuroneko Yamato should offer Raygun a CM. I can see it now, have her doing her original break moves while delivering parcels.

Oh what a surprise the totally not corrupt IBA, I mean Gazprom, wait Russia is awarding a performance. Or maybe sporting theater.

BREAKING: International Boxing Association to award Angela Carini, who abandoned her fight against Algeria’s Imane Khelif, prize money equivalent to an Olympic champion.

As it’s Okinawa and they’re speaking English with an American accent I’m going to say losing World War II and having a forced US military base there.

[Callisto Roll @callistoroll]

How did Japan get like this?

[TrainwreckJP @TrainwreckJP]

Sure you can call it choice when they’re forced to retire at 65 and live off an at max 12k USD annual pension.

Keep in mind 401k equivalents are uncommon and the stock market was tepid for 30 years.

[Fernando Cao @thefernandocz]

In Japan, retirement isn't the end goal.

Many people work well into their 80s and 90s, not out of necessity, but choice.

They stay engaged, contributing to society.

This leads to better cognitive health and lower rates of depression.

But what about exercise?
