My grandmother told a story about meeting an elderly female relative in Kingston, Tasmania, soon after my grandparents had got their first car. After visiting, they said they were now going back to the city (Hobart), and the old lady said,

I've renewed my visa in Japan a bunch of times, including changing work category or visa status, and never had to leave the country for it. It's not standard for working or student visas, though you would have to leave if you were

How overworked would a doctor need to be to hallucinate you told them about microdosing psillocybin when you never said anything of the sort? (And how easy is it to then convince the system you're not a recreational drug user when it&#

Your last line is the right attitude to take, but do you think the guy blogging his learnings of social skills on a blog called "wired differently" is a neurotypical writing for neurotypicals? I find it to be rather common that co

I've been here for 15+ years and I've never seen a sushi place without salmon. But I've never been to a "fancy" sushi place, just supermarkets, kaiten chains and neighborhood restaurants that are $20-40 a head. Sa

There's probably a lot of little nudges one can get in their life that make them more likely to pick up programming, but I think a big one for present generations is exposure to video games and video games being a thing that most of yo

So far it seems insiders are mostly incentivized to bet on their insider information at the last possible minute , so that the market doesn't have time to adjust toward their position and lessen their profits. That doesn't leave

Don't really get why people are saying letting ticket prices rise to the maximum of what the market will bear, even if it's unaffordable to most fans, is the only solution. I've been attending shows by a certain Japanese arti

Perhaps it has something to do with recent human trends for saying "goblin" or "gremlin" to describe... basically the opposite of dignified and socially acceptable behavior, like hunching under a blanket, unshowered, pla

The general principle here is that engaging with your hobbies and interests in the second language is a good way to increase exposure (and also more fun). For me, it was translating lyrics and interviews of Japanese musicians.

My first thought was "Trenchcoat Demon" for the three-people-in-a-robe creature but I suppose that wouldn't quite fit the setting (but maybe acceptable if its existence is intended to be humorous). A thing to keep in mind is

I think being on the spectrum might lower a person's risk in some ways and increase it in others. On one hand, some autistic people are less swayed by emotive language and therefore able to shrug off a chatbot's overexcitement to

I have color-grapheme synesthesia. Pros are I can write passwords down as a series of colored blobs and reliably decode them. Cons are I occasionally make weird errors like repeatedly getting ctrl+l and ctrl+f hotkeys confused, with no obvi

If you saw a video of a person doing something cool, and later found out it was AI generated, would you still be impressed? Of course, it's not exactly the same situation, but if I listen to a song and appreciate that the vocalist soun
