Re: The Truth about Instagram Auto Posts + How to Stay Safe

Really wish they would find a way to intelligently allow scheduled posting that still prevented spammers. I’m in Hawaii running a profile whose target demographic is Japan. My audience’s peak use time is 10PM Japan time, all 7 days a week. That’s 3AM Hawaii time. I can’t be waking up in the middle of the night every day just to post manually. 💩

Re: 2018 Canon Rebel T7i Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deals

Don’t fall for the $499 price at Focus Camera, as the $350 rebate is expressly not applicable to “eligible products packaged together and sold for one price”. In other words, instead of getting a T7i for under $500, you’ll be paying $849 for the camera and an expensive printer you didn’t want in the first place.

Re: No social security increase next year due to low gas prices

It's based on the CPI, not gasoline prices alone...

The concert was horribly managed. The lines to get in were a mess.
None of the workers knew what was going on. Trying to control thousands
of people and not one of the workers outside of the venue had any sort
of megaphone or any way to pass along information to the crowd. And this was on Saturday, after they'd already had Friday to work out the kinks. Shame on you, Tom
Moffatt.

Any idiot who would financially support the North's ridiculous dictatorship by choosing to travel to a country that he knows is insane more than deserves to be held prisoner there.

Re: The Top Three Japanese Memes of 2013

I figured as much. Was more of a rhetorical question as "Hadonking" is absolutely not a word that has ever been used before to refer to Street Fighter. Google that shit. =p

Great article, but WTF is "Hadonking"??

Anyone else see this headline and think they were building an Inouye Highway from the Big Island to Kauai?

Common sense says if there are budget cuts, services have to be cut. Quit complaining, Gramps! ;)

Japan has one of the highest conviction rates in the world (99%+), mostly due to confessions obtained after hours of unsupervised interrogation. No juries. Guilty until proven innocent. Yeah. So advanced. ???

Re: Kaneohe woman raises awareness for human trafficking by working out

Zero explanation as to how working out has ANYTHING to do with raising money or human trafficking...

The beauty of the Japanese syllabary is that there is never any question of how to pronounce things because each mora is always pronounced the same way. So unlike most English palindromes, (almost) ALL Japanese palindromes are true palindromes by your definition, are they not? わしのしわ is wa-shi-no-shi-wa both ways...

Re: How The Emperor Trolls Japanese Conservatives

.k3NiCHi — Fri, 04 May 2012 13:48:49 -0000

The emperor has 2 sons and a grandson, so I don't really think there's a need to "fight for Aiko's succession"... Why rock the boat?

EDIT: And I mean that totally in a "Japan likes to stick to tradition" sort of way, not a "girls shouldn't be allowed to inherit" sort of way =p

As far as I'm aware, that became a non-issue with the birth of Prince Hisahito in 2006. Although all that's done is push the crisis into the future...

I truly feel sorry for you if PF Chang's is the best Chinese food you've ever had. It's not even close to being the best fake American Chinese food out there...

Re: Move to dump Chinglish from Beijing menus

.k3NiCHi — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 11:19:20 -0000

Not really... Like the 連文莉 said, it's about as offensive as "Spanglish" -- i.e. it's not at all. It's "Chinese" + "English". I think you're confusing that with "Chink" + "English" would equal..."Chinklish"?

Re: Why do Japanese people change their attitude when they communicate with foreigners?

.k3NiCHi — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 02:44:41 -0000

While it probably IS because you look like you could be Japanese and your husband doesn't, don't forget that it could also just be because you're a woman and he's a man. While I'm never afraid to jump on the "that's racist!" bandwagon, don't forget that Japan (and Asia in general) can be very sexist, too! =p
