Mew

I like anime, games, trains, all the good stuff...

@TheWarOwl You'd think Jeff Bezos out of all people would now step in, tell them all to fuck off and make the damn show because he wants something inspiring about space exploration, the human spirit for adventure and never giving up in face of terrible odds. You know his rocket blow up...

@bunburyoudoujp And the bus that goes to Kinkakuji also stops at Kyoto Municipal Kinugasa Junior High School. So you have HS students, uni students and one million tourists all competing for the same one bus, we cramed in like sardines but the tourists with bags were very much in the way.

[Mew @Mew_AoC]

@bunburyoudoujp It's important here to realize it's Kyoto. It's a very bus heavy city and I couldn't believe the hell the citizens have to go through. I went to Kinkakuji, a bus arrived, yet there was probably 2 busses worth of people waiting. And whats worse there Ritsumeikan University nearby

@spectator Heres one for you very journalistic. " From Hokkaido To Okinawa Japan looks almost exactly the same and that enables cheap rent, cheap housing, mixed zoned communities, walkable cities and affordable life. And that's a good thing." You wanna see woods n stuff? Go to Inaka.

@yfcherries People will buy this eat half of it in a day, without knowing they ate 230g of sugar.

@GearoidReidy Didn't toshiba basically sell kioxia to some investment group while maintaining some small percentage

@MinistryofOtaku 30 years later and people are still doing Jelly Donuts but this time with culture. For me the appeal of anime was always that it was a different culture, of senpais, kouhais, onichans, onechans, moe, meido, gyaru, tsundere etc... concepts that mostly don't exist outside of Japan.

@OliverJia1014 @AndyKavna It gets worse when it's really expensive stuff like Shine Muscat and they're like I'm bored of eating it please take this gigantic amount it will spoil. I do get it grandma had 2 wallnut trees and a sweet cherry and I considered Wallnuts basically worthless and was sick of them..

[Mew @Mew_AoC]

@OliverJia1014 @AndyKavna There a big rural/urban divide people still treat it like it's "Western/Europe prices". If you know someone outside of Urban Areas they basically gift you thousands of yen like it's nothing. I don't know how to react. Here 2 kilos of kiwi and just take the 3 kg kaki they fell off

@fhASSA_ Just don't ask what they were called before.

@CaskieYT @bunburyoudoujp I feel like while the US has suburbs, chruches, HoAs, community centers. Nobody really interacts all that much because everyones kind of stuck in the suburbs and drives a lot. So there very little daily interaction that builds a "community" like the walk able areas in JP or EU

[Mew @Mew_AoC]

@jake_j_jung Oh yeah thats probably a whole other story, there is a real lack of proper bike parking. And even new the prices are sometimes crazy low. But for me stealing a bike is, I don't know like a very big thing, feels like stealing a car. Would personally never do it.

[Mew @Mew_AoC]

@jake_j_jung True but I still get upset since I even put some sticker on it, but you're probably right one guy takes one, the other goes まあ、しょうがない,これにするわ and it just continues until theres no umbrellas left.

[Mew @Mew_AoC]

@jake_j_jung Another example I can think of is Japanese front doors. Some times they have up to 2~3 locks. I even saw a friends front door(last icture) that had 2 locks and a hidden 3rd one in the handle you pop the plastic off. usually doesn't bother to lock it at all unless going on a trip.

[Mew @Mew_AoC]

@jake_j_jung I think Americans can't graps the fact that a society can be both law abiding and have laws. World isn't a fantasy place. Bikes, Bike seats, Bike accessories, Umbrellas get stolen in Japan all the time. Yet exactly thats why they have bike garages with staff to make it hard.

[Mew @Mew_AoC]

@bunburyoudoujp I and I literally mean like just on the ground. Sitting there. Nobodys touching it. Needless to say I paid 300 yen, took a bag home.

[Mew @Mew_AoC]

@bunburyoudoujp Villages around my Part of Croatia. You take one basket of strawberries leave 2~3€ whatever the price is. No staff.

Japan Sunza Station, Hime Kaido road, Hamamatsu.
You put 300 yen in you take a Mikan Bag. The mikan bags are literally next to a good 100+ trees full of em.
