I’ve only heard of 3-4. I’m sure I’ve heard more just out in the wild if they’re that popular, but I never know what a song is or who sings it.

As someone in Japan for a decade, there is no way Tokyo should be that high, especially post-corona and inflation

I use it for code reviews but that’s basically it. Looking at open job postings. Ton expect ai experience. I want to die.

Except when looking for a new job and now so are 8k other people :/

You can find videos of mudlarks in drained canals on YouTube. I can’t recall the names anymore as I stopped really enjoying the content, but there are videos out there.

Have you seen mudlarks in drained canals? Sucking mud, sometimes up to the knee. If you’re not getting stuck, you struggle to get footing and slip in regular shoes.

Don’t know if it counts but stupid meat circus climb in psychonauts. Never finished that thing.

None in my village. I’m not sure if that’s fortunate or unfortunate. We definitely have bears that come within a couple KM of my house.

I use a couple of subreddits specific to Japan because that’s where the knowledge is for legal, visa, financial, DIY, etc. advice and people refuse to move over. I technically have a bluesky which I haven’t updated in around a year (it’s for business purposes anyway). I also have a linkedin for job purposes. All other social media (FB, insta, twitter, tiktok, whateverTheKidsUseTheseDays) I either never had, deactivated, or fully deleted my account years ago.

Edit: some people are mentioning YouTube. I don’t really consider it social media, but I do use it if that counts. I try to watch more Nebula, though.

I don’t knowingly use AI at all in my person life and projects (I say ‘knowingly’ since many products have it shoved inside now, but I disable all I see). At work, we have AI code reviews which, as a concept, I think is fine and useful.

Probably the Switch. It’s … fine, I guess? NES? Awsome. SNES? fantastic. GB? amazing for its time. Genesis was killer. Atari 2600 was huge in its day. The switch? Meh.

It doesn’t help that I’m generally unhappy with nintendo being a bunch of greedy fucks as I see it.

This is why I don’t use it for coding at all.

I don’t like talking (edit: aloud, to be clear) that much, in person or otherwise, so I like data modes.

I would love to have no-till going, but it’s also not reasonable for me. Actual mulch is uncommon in Japan and cardboard just blows away in my area (even with 15-20cm long U-shaped staples in multiple places per piece and on joints; it be windy here). Do what you can now and don’t worry about not being the best or perfect.

This is my experience as well. These days, fewer than 4 spaces is downright unreadable to my aging eyes.

I added one other SDD to dual-boot linux, but it’s otherwise the same as when I built it in May 2020.

I was looking at upgrading the video card before all the prices went to shit. I’d need to get a new mobo to really make it worth the effort. I’m not sure adding more memory would really do a lot.

My previous computer was a laptop since I knew I’d be moving across the world and I got it in late 2014 or early 2015. It technically still works, though it just sits in a closet.

I’m thinking I just want to buy a higher-end laptop next time and just use this machine as a server. If I can do some gaming and video editing on it, that’s really all I need that’s intensive. I’m also debating whether or not to live in Japan full time or see if I can get work authorization somewhere in the Schengen area and just live in Japan part time. Bit of a dream with jobs the way they are now, though.

I was scrolling through the comments before posting about it, heh. I used to sing it at karaoke quite a bit.

Destillat is good in both versions, I think, but I definitely prefer the Das Ich version.

I think it’s differently good but still prefer the original. I think there’s something more compelling in the arrangement and orchestration of the original.

Wages have also mostly not kept up with inflation that went nuts starting around Covid times. Some companies have been doing raises, but a lot haven’t been able to keep up with inflation.
