Fuck this company.

They've been awful for many, many years at this point. I've no idea why people keep giving them money and expecting them to not be awful.

I'm in my 40s and I'm with them. Movies can be cool, but I tend to like an interactive experience more.

I don't disagree, but the majority of Japanese are just using whichever device is in their pocket (largely iPhones or Android, some feature phones, the occasional tablet, and much more rarely (outside of official business work), an actual full-sized computer).

We basically have this in Japan. People will put their bike back to factory for the inspection and then change it out. They get caught rarely, but not often. loud-assed 暴走族 (bousouzoku) groups love to ride around in the countryside where I live and I can hear them from quite far. I really wish the police would do something about them.

there is literally no correct answer

I deleted mine years ago but, in Japan, it's still one of the main ways small shops communicate with their customers. Some use FB or insta instead. They don't have the knowledge, money, or desire to create a whole website that is far more difficult to interact with and update than the platforms that are free, people use, and are easy to update.

I remember a few snippets. Hatchet in fifth grade. The outsiders at some point. High school English is mostly blank until senio year at a new school. We did a whole thing on middle English and Chaucer which is probably why I remember.

I'm torn between "no teeth (just gums) and a mouth stuffed with chocolate pudding (specifically the one that many American buffet restaurants use)" and "crunching jagged jawbreakers (or rocks)"

Absolutely. I keep meaning to try that but always forget until I'm already making coffee

I appreciate the answer (iced coffee is really popular here in Japan). I was mostly poking fun at how someone would make coffee out of ice (like ice tea -- isn't that just cold water steeped in other water?)

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 16 points 2 days ago (10 children)

Ice coffee sounds difficult to make. Do I have to roast the ice first? Should I go for a light roast or dark on it?

Not in my country!

(Seriously, though, Japan doesn't do joint bank accounts).

Maybe they're leaving room for improvement?
