Fata Morgana

This is not career advice.

@BobLoukas This basically "choose your battles." Good advice in many aspects of life, including trading. The little battles leave you with less gunpowder when the important battles come.

@humansofjplife Funny, his hinting about unreported crime, when it doesn't sound like he reported this crime, which was a serious assault. Why not? And nobody with half a brain says Japan (or any country) is "perfectly safe."

@WisprFlow Maybe you could try supporting your customers. Wispr Flow is getting unusable for me. And the best you can do is say "Good news! You can still copy and paste!" It's like a taxi service not coming and saying, "The good news is you can still walk!"

[Fata Morgana @wetpoodles]

@gato_danger @TrumpDailyPosts Of course not. City hall hates the competition.

@GregAtkinson_jp And more than likely, the only punishment they'll face is a month or two of detainment followed by deportation. This is getting ridiculous.

[Fata Morgana @wetpoodles]

One of the worst ideas they've had. Aside from the morality of it, it will be extremely counterproductive. You think guys who strap explosives around themselves and crash planes care about being executed? Live streaming it glorifies it for more of these clowns. They'll want to be next.

@PedalPowers @humansofjplife If they already have a child, it's not early.

I used to do agricultural exports from China. I still avoid buying Chinese produce. It's almost impossible to control quality when exporting any volume. Even then, a grower has no control over pollution in the local water and air. When buying produce in Japan, if it doesn't specify a location, I assume it's from China. Sadly, even when a domestic location is claimed, there are some dishonest importers. That's why I am also very careful with super-cheap vegetable shops.

@AF632 @GavinNewsom @realDonaldTrump They would answer that question if they could read it.

@felixprehn I'm a fan of your presentations (and clever dogs). Living in Japan, I feel I'm getting a front-row seat on the roller coaster. We'll lead the whole gang down the drain, but I hope we'll also be the first out of it. Maybe see you on the slopes some winter day.

Cooler than expected Kyushu September bringing great sunsets.

@unherd @si_rubinstein Denial really is a river in Egypt here.

@ArtemisConsort When I lived in San Francisco, I had to walk through a free open-air concert with Albert King playing blues guitar on my way to Safeway. It was just horrible. I wish I had stayed in Michigan. Maybe you should try there.

@Lambheard @AwakenWithJP That's how Europeans eat. There's no tipping in Japan, and the service is better than the US by far.

[Fata Morgana @wetpoodles]

Still parts of Japan remaining that haven't been taken over by trends, tourists and upscaling. Buttered potatoes, and buta-bara - which no self-respecting yakitoriya in Kyushu would be without. Better to run out of chicken. A popular local yakitoriya, patronized by local workers and run by an elderly couple, the weathered old man behind the grill. His wife does all the smiling, because he is focused on grilling. He doesn't need to smile because we can see he cares. Very photogenic in his own way, but I wouldn't dare spoil the mood by taking his picture. It's simple and good, in the way many places in Japan used to be.

[Fata Morgana @wetpoodles]

This is misrepresented and, in any case, has almost zero impact on the data for life expectancy in Japan, which is collected in a variety of ways, not just on death reports. Incidentally, vegetarians and plant-based diets are far and few between in Japan. Meat and seafood is standard.

@bunburyoudoujp I personally enjoyed my time as a salaryman in an entirely Japanese company. It was an adventure.

@newstart_2024 Every single breath brings me a step closer to death, but I don't plan to stop breathing.

[Fata Morgana @wetpoodles]

@syrupmermaid Japanese people can speak for themselves. What's with all these foreign accounts pretending they're Japanese and talking about Japanese purity? Are they all weebs?
