Reddit - Beehaw until I decided I didn't like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn't like are better now) - kbin.social (died) - kbin.run (died) - fedia.

Japan-based backend software dev and small-scale farmer.

  • Videogames you always wanted to play but they did disappointed you?

    Jump

  • Zelda OOT. The controls, especially when first using the slingshot and such, with the camera just sucked. I never got far with that after I finally tried it in my mid-/late-20s. It's one of those I found much more enjoyable watching someone else do.

    Played Goldeneye for the first time at a barcade in my early 30s and I didn't really enjoy that much.

    As I think about it, anything on N64 and maybe Gamecube that I would try once I had time and money later in life just were not great. I had been playing better PC games, even in the same years, and have zero nostalgia for it which probably doesn't help.

  • This autoplays for anyone else who doesn't want to be jumpscared :/

  • Should Ukraine... just keep going?

    Jump

  • Never overextend your supply lines and get yourself encircled.

  • B.C. to end time changes, adopt year-round daylight time

    Jump

  • I moved to Japan a decade ago and there are not time changes (though I'd argue that, at least for eastern Japan, we're in the wrong timezone). It is much easier on my body not making that change twice a year. I have a really sensitive sleep schedule so this is very important to me.

  • I'm sure a good lot of you, like me, had been anticipating/dreading that moment when we say, oh fuck this is it, for real. Like the BIG oh fuck. My question is, how ready are you?

    Jump

  • I thought I was going to get drafted just after 2001-09-11 as a young man in the US and nothing has really felt quite at that level since. I did buy a dosimeter when Ukraine was invaded. I don't know what the future holds. I'm glad I don't live near any US military bases nor in the US anymore.

  • doomer billionairs

    Jump

  • I love the idea, but the billionaires know they're on a timer with regard to staff loyalty and will actively be monitoring the outside world to get out as quickly as possible. In a completely unrelated matter, I think we might have some good spots for building giant concrete structures to contain future radioactive waste...

  • How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?

    Jump

  • I instinctively clicked away at 'researchmaxxxxed' (or however many 'x's the thing had). Do I need to go yell at a cloud now?

  • Average Age of Leaving Home in Europe (2025)

    Jump

  • Thank you!

  • What to Know About Americans Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers

    Jump

  • Don't forget your FBAR as well if you have basically any non-us bank accounts, securities, etc.

  • You can bluntly comment on someone being fat or short in China and it's chill, but people get offended the moment you imply they're old...

    Jump

  • In Japan, it's common to hear comments on weight and such. Pressure to conform and, sometimes, genuine concern about health. I think aging is unavoidable so it makes it less of a target. Even calling someone tired-looking can be an insult here if done in the wrong way (despite a greeting being お疲れ様です which is often used)

  • Forget electric bikes, Kawasaki is building an electric horse for actual production

    Jump

  • As a rider of a Kawasaki bike I quite like, zero chance you catch me on that thing; I'd rather an actual horse

  • Average Age of Leaving Home in Europe (2025)

  • Anyone have a link? This is just a blank post with plaintext title on mbin :/

  • Cardinal found with forbidden phone during conclave to elect Pope Leo, book says

    Jump

  • It only calls the ZPhone of No Return

  • What should one give to the homeless population besides money? If you were homeless at one time, what did you need besides money?

    Jump

  • When I lived out of my car, peanut butter was my main staple since it would survive well at about any temperature. I survived off that, bread from a bakery outlet, and, when the weather was cool enough, cheese.

    Edit: for non-food, grooming/hygiene supplies are generally good.

  • Persian Americans in Los Angeles celebrate regime change in Iran

    Jump

  • Yeah, this seems like it could easily go into premature celebration territory.

  • What to Know About Americans Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers

    Jump

  • Yeah, I could be making triple what I do in Japan had I stayed in the US. It's not always about the money. Retirement is certainly a harder thing with all the idiotic IRS rules (PFICs, specifically). I don't regret moving at all. If I had it to do again, I may have picked somewhere else instead, but this is home now.

  • What to Know About Americans Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers

    Jump

  • I left before Trump was elected the first time, but I never thought he would be elected. That was certainly an interesting time in my life when everyone started asking me what was going on. Zero chance I move back now (and I will be dropping citizenship once I no longer need to have access to take care of aging family). I have to file taxes (don't make enough to pay), can't touch certain retirement investments, and you'd better believe I vote (not that it matters in my illegally and heavily-gerrymandered, sadly).

  • Farming for self sustainance

    Jump

  • You have a lot of research, practice, and failing to do. I moved to the country and have been doing small-scale farming. Self sufficiency in any short timescale is going to be basically impossible, especially if you need to rehab the land. There's also all kinds of materials you need that you probably can't produce yourself. Community sufficiency is much more important, I think.

  • Births in Japan fall in 2025 to 706,000, record low for 10th straight year

    Jump

  • I know people who want to have kids but they worry about daycare and such (rough lottery-ish system in Tokyo) and jobs (which means moving to someplace like Tokyo) and the overtime expectations and such. So much stuff here nearly expects one person being home or not working during business hours to get stuff done yet, on the medium japanese, or even Tokyo, income, that's not tenable. The yen keeps dropping compared to other currencies yet our fuel, agricultural inputs, and many raw materials are still imported.

    I've been here a decade and have citizenship elsewhere so, if worse comes to worse, I have options. Most japanese do not. Yet salaries remain stagnant whilst everything goes up in prise or disappears from the market.
