I would say yes. I saw the movie first and I really liked it so I’m going back and making my way through the show.

I’m not very good at taking nail pics but here are mine. A pale pearly pink.

Same. I kind of feel that it’s almost bad luck to post a lot of squishy couple stuff. I have seen so many couples who did that break up. The couples I know who are still together don’t post too much about their coupledom.

I was bullied pretty consistently from elementary through JR high. My worst bully was a pretty, clear skinned, thin blonde girl in the 7th and 8th grade. She and her friends stuck a pad to my back as i walked down the hallway. They always called me a zit-faced freak. She would scream in my face “HI HI HI” and when I…

Yes. Fox News murdered my elders too. The only “wisdom” I would get from them are racist or misogynist diatribes.

Do it!

It depends on the situation. Sometimes they don’t add the made-up word at all. I was watching DS9 the other day with Japanese subtitles and a character says something like “the [combustible gas] Trimor is gong to explode!” And the subtitles just say “combustible gas”no Trimor.

Exactly. My brother and I work abroad (in different countries) and we have no desire to come back to the U.S.

I have a lot of extended family who are Trump supporters. I feel like I’m getting close to a point where I might have to cut people out of my life. It hurts because these are my grandparents and my aunts and uncles . But then this is beyond simple political disagreements and I don’t want to associate with people who…

I live in Osaka and I’m engaged to a deaf Japanese guy. Japan isn’t perfect but I think there are some things that are even better than the U.S. Speed and quality of closed captions on TV are way better. Information desks, hotels and other places usually have staff members who can sign.

Yes yes yes. Plaza recently had a thing selling mason jars (complete with little diagrams on how to use it!) “Popular drinking glass in Brooklyn!” etc. They were selling mason jars and tote bags and authentically made in Brooklyn candles and stuff. No idea if it’s still going on though.

I read somewhere that it was the 3rd or 4th most common language overall after English and Spanish. I need to find the source though.

My boyfriend's family has one! She is very much a cat trapped in a dog's body. She does not like new people and even though I've been going to his place on the regular since August, she is only slightly warming up to me but still won't let me pet her.

I never thought I would date anyone shorter than me....until I met my 4'5 boyfriend. *shrug* You never know who you'll click with.

I'm 5'7 and preferred guys aroundish my height....but then I met my 4'5 boyfriend. *shrug*

Madonna did that on Smap X Smap! I need to find the video. She tried something one of them made and said "This isn't good...mazui". Omg.
And when she came out she said "My name is Madonna-san". It was amazing.

I am literally reading this after having early afternoon sex with my Japanese boyfriend in Japan. At least some of us are getting some?

Oh man, we watched the anime of that in class. Talk about traumatizing. What makes it better/worse (?) is that the voice of Gen in the English dub is the voice of
Ash Ketchum.

Yeah social media is complicated. I'm dealing with something similar myself. We found out a couple months ago that my mom has brain cancer and it's not really looking good.
I haven't said anything on Facebook yet, and neither has my brother. At first I wasn't going to post anything until everyone who needed to know,…

Where on the site? (I live in Japan btw) I can't find the link with behind the scenes stuff.
