Japanese from the inaka here. My contribution to this dataset: nothing. No station in my town, never was one. The nearest line is an hour by car and it's openly next on the chopping block.

Japanese here. Took me years to stop looking up and wishing for what I'll never have, and just accept this is the body I've got and live with it fully. I don't even follow baseball anymore, but every now and then Ohtani (the

Japanese here lol. "broke and hostage so they'd stay quiet" — honestly that one line taught me more about my own country than school ever did. We get Edo as "250 years of peace" and sankin-kotai as some term to memo

Parted with my PSP years ago, but I still have a working Vita sitting in a drawer somewhere. Reading this made me get up, dust it off, and put it on the charger. Looks like the Vita's going to own my weekend.

n=1 here, but I've been wearing a back brace for lumbar pain and walking has slowed noticeably. Pretty confident it's the back, not the ears. Every body part wants in on this study.

Japanese, living here. I'd heard 人質司法 (hostage justice) used in news commentary but never really pictured what it looked like inside. 5-day showers, food slid through a slot, sleeping on the floor with lights on. None of that is wha

Honestly painful to read. I tried to distribute a free utility to some friends last year and bailed somewhere mid-enrollment. Just wanted maybe ten people to download a thing. The whole flow felt designed for someone shipping to millions
