archive employee clearly having trouble believing that I can understand japanese, man I kind of get it, this language is hard as balls but cant deny it also feels insulting. oh well
why is my post blowing up + but also why is everyone on twitter these days anonymous it's so weird wasn't there a time when twitter was a place where you met real people
I wonder if ppl outside Japan realize how screwed Japan is in literally every metric, I thought it was doomed ten years ago but this year my god do I feel the doom encroaching. We are so cooked just being out the forks and knives
@toyo_489 yeah ofc im being dramatic, the public transit is excellent in the big cities from my experience. its still very nice to live in tokyo in terms of infrastructure!
@veggetase my dear brother I wish Japan did import a mass guest worker population the foreign population rn is 3% and they're trying to cut it downwards, in europe it's like 15% minimum
@FaXistic parallel technological line? its not even on a technological line, its given up on the competition. before we even talk about AI let's get them to stop using spreadsheets and fax machines. nothing ventured nothing gained, and the Japanese are venturing nothing
will also be fair that not all europe is like this, German switzerland has been relatively good, but europeans in general have limited race consciousness compared w/ America where it's drilled into us in school
ask a black frenchman where he's really from and he'll prolly tell you about his parents, hell often they're upfront about their background, as a white frenchman where he's really from and he'll punch you
really normalized outside of the US but rightfully seen as racist in US
for me this was a huge culture shock leaving the US, america has a race problem but at least we're sensitive towards treating ppl differently bc of their skin color, whereas most places dont have the same sensitivity
