@snowyborne@mitsukanehive I still remember chapter 200 of kaguya sama. Old scanlator quit and everyone wanted to be the next one. Then it became a meme and some of them were joke TLs
@suchnerve I couldn't believe when the aptitude test they made me take had a section that showed zoomed in peoples faces and some drawings and asked what emotion they were expressing. Can't see any reason for this other than to exclude autistic people.
@misanthropeyrk@veidtlemania Shall we dance. It's a remake of a Japanese movie where they also act like blackpool is the cultural capital of Europe and it's cracks me up
@lostbutlucky All those things still exist. Forums just died and all moved to discord. Which sucks because there aren't indexed and can't be searched for. Fundamental a worse way for these communities to operate but alas.
@deepannai I love summer, you can go outside for hours after work. You can go to the beach on a weekday. Winters are tough, many get Seasonal affective disorder. Doctors say to use Vitamin D tablets. Many countries are trying to get rid of daylight savings time. But I think it works well
@keikei23876 Bae is Australian. Australia is in the southern hemisphere and known as the down under. It's been a meme for a long time that everything is upside down in Australia. It then became an in-joke to "fix" the plush if you see it displayed normally as upside down the right way
@schuld3157 Sounds interesting. I can recommend a classic American book that might serve as inspiration.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Written in 1889 might be one of the first ever isekai stories. It looks like its available in Japanese.

@flpatriot369@helllolucy It says it on the top right of every form. Some did choose to fill it in Irish. Maybe people weren't used of using Irish on official documents only a few years after independence.
@wheyh I went to Japan for the first time a few months ago. My feet are over 30cm, no slippers at museums or public spaces fit my feet. Is it okay to walk around in socks. No shoes inside is more common now in the UK but we don't wear slippers. Just socks.
@shiten_room I agree. Access is the biggest issue. Western fans are used to pirating manga. Publishers have to provide better or similar service to pirating. To buy manga officially you need to use lots of different services. When a series is in English, it can be difficult to find where.
@drown_in_sound_@OliverJia1014 Very much agree. Camden was punk. Most people had no reason to go. Then punk became cool. People flood in to see the cool vibes. Rents go up and push out who made in cool in the first place. It became a pastiche of it's past self. The same thing with otaku culture and Akihabara.
@Urban__Tree Only thing that always sticks out to me about these endings is it's almost always them having a daughter in the future. I'm sure timeskips with a son exist, but every single example in this thread is a timeskip with a daughter. Kind of has some weird implications.
@HillCitizen@fawfulfan@CommunityNotes You are confusing what "tax" is referring to here. Infra is largely funded property tax. The initial setup might get state or federal funding but maintenance has to be covered by property tax. Your income tax isnt used to fill potholes.
