US citizen living abroad. Not going to happen in one presidential term and the US has probably permanently fucked itself in terms of special currency/status/soft power ever getting back to the level it was.

I always wanted Alice 3 to be a Soulslike personally

That would definitely keep me from buying it; I can’t stand those sorts of games. I did like the first two, though, and still have the CD for the first one kicking around.

Is going to be earlier and waking just before things start heating up an option? Here in rural northeastern Japan, we do that to beat the heat of the day for work outside (getting up right around 4 or a bit before when days are their longest) and a lot of folks are asleep by 20 or 21.

Way too much German industrial/goth/IDM/whatever to mention.

人間椅子 (Ningen Isu) - 無情のスキャット (Heartless Scat) – one I listen to somewhat frequently.

Linda Linda by the Blue Hearts is another.

千本桜 by 和楽器バンド (senbonzakura by wagakibando) is another I like because of the mix of traditional Japanese instruments and style along with modern ones.

For Japan specifically, some retailers want to use 3dsecure (or something like that; it’s changed names and versions a few times over the years) which is only supported by domestic cards. Marketplaces that don’t care about that might be fine, or they might disallow based on some other criteria.

I thought it was octopuxen?

OP: retired at 35.

It didn’t sound like money was the issue here.

I need to get away from the gun in my safe calling me.

Running away only works for so long. As the great poet once said, wherever you go, there you are.

I would recommend professional help.

It is agreed to in the sense that it’s part of the social contract. People not doing it could face social consequences.

The documentation I mean here should be in the repo and checked as a part of the PR process. I don’t mean it should be a manual, I just mean a readme should at least describe what the service does (it has such a generic name in my case that it’s not self-evident and is so broad in scope I don’t know what happened). The functions also have terrible naming and no comments to describe what they do. So, as a guy just coming into this team after re-org with no idea what all this stuff does, I was completely lost. They also changed which services which teams owned, further making it difficult to get knowledge.

… as someone in his 40s, this post makes me irrationally angry. Write. Don’t know what to write? Write something, anything, anyway until it starts to go somewhere. Read more, both authors you like/admire and maybe something you don’t to see what else is around.

I recently got moved to another team after my company restructured. Several repos have zero documentation. Most of those don’t even have comments on the functions. LinkXxxx(some args) like Xxxx to /what?!/ It’s also an over-engineered mess with multiple layers of abstraction. I can’t wait to finish figuring out what everything does and re-write (and document it) like a sane person. This code presumably had no AI involvement which I’d argue is even worse since real humans made these shit decisions. Don’t get me starting on their testing (and mostly lack thereof)…

Worker suggested using AI to write some documentation. Another coworker did. I immediately spotted a bunch of hallucinated shit. Good times. I want to know in my head what a thing does, how it works, and how it fits into the architecture. I can’t do that if an AI is just deciding stuff; it’s like a quiz back in school where I would memorize shit for about one week before 99% of it left my brain forever.

I can see it, but I’d think there’d be a better source of acid/sour that isn’t as fatty to pair with the PB.

There’s an XKCD for that as always: https://xkcd.com/386/

If the person does not seem like they would be receptive to seeing another view point, I probably just ignore (and, if transphobic, racist, sexist, etc., typically block the person). Every once in a while I might make a comment and judge the reaction first.

If the person seems like they actually want to consider their and other positions, I might make a comment with some back and forth.

I guess the exception to that is when I see posts like ‘Japan is like X’ or ‘All Japanese people do Y’ and it’s just plain wrong. In those cases, I will always post at least once.

I also work a fulltime job, have a small farm, and have a house to maintain so I’m not typically swimming in free time for arguments anyway.

Disturbed are still around? Well, I’ll continue nor buying their stuff, I guess

Oh yeah? Well, I’ve pooped at a significant fraction of the speed of sound

Japan probably won’t do anything more. I believe he has an entry ban for some time here (probably 5 years from whenever he was gone), but I don’t recall the exact details.

I fail to see what this has to do with visiting a couple of cities for a week or two as a tourist. If your argument is that a person cannot come from a country that has more rights or better wealth than another country, the dynamics to visiting anywhere get really weird.

I live near China but don’t go there because I don’t like the government. However, I’d love to see many archeological sites like Xi An and other places.

Because in Japan, they’d be had for battery. Even self defense in Japan as defined as enough, and only enough, to flee in most cases; punching someone who punches you doesn’t qualify if you can remove yourself from the situation otherwise.

Not for long enough. Shame that Japan didn’t have the balls to do it when he was a being a dick here.
