Sakura trees in Japan

I was curious about what the Japanese side’s take on Trump’s remark would be, so I found this news report from a Japanese outlet:

Try translating the comments by yourself. You’d find that most people are blaming the Japanese reporter who asked “why didn’t you notify us before attacking Iran.” They say that of course they wouldn’t tell us (Japanese) about a surprise attack beforehand and that this question is stupid and rude.

Personally though I think this remark is rude regardless of what questions were asked. Also I think that the question itself may be stupid but isn’t rude.

Back like 7 years ago, in my German classes, we were given a list of names to choose from. Don’t exactly remember what I chose, but I think it started with an F and was 5 letters long? Liked it quite a bit.

In the Japanese classes I took 2 years ago we were given the choice of picking a Japanese name, but most, including me, rolled with a transliteration of their own name.

It’s like how most people call moving a file into the trash can “deleting.” It is deleted (in a sense), but you can still recover it if you want before the trash can gets emptied.

Or like how even you can actually delet a file from the disk but still be able to recover it before the disk space is overwritten by other files. I’m not saying that this is what Google does when you recover a freshly deleted account (most likely not), but what I’m trying to say with these two examples is that being able to be recovered is not a contradiction with having been deleted

Also I don’t get why you take problem with this. It’s not like it’s another loop to jump through to get to delete the account?

it might just be me but he lowkey looks hot

I’ve actually been using Proton (on the free plan) for a couple of years before going to Tuta on their paid plan. I can say that the UI of Proton feels much better.

• The search in Tuta’s inbox often gives no result despite me searching exactly what’s in the subject line
• The custom notification selector in Tuta Calendar sucks
• Tuta Calendar feels sluggish
• You can’t select whether to send a message as plain text or as HTML in the message composer?? Why do you have to go into the preference page to change this??
• When you open a message in Tuta Mail, it often fails loading the message and I have to press Retry multiple times for it to load the message properly

As far as I remember, none of these were problems back when I used Proton.

They’re legit and I’ve been on their paid plan for a few months now. I don’t like the UX of their app. Often feels slow and laggy and outdated. Probably will switch to Proton or something else when my 1 year plan ends.

I can’t be the only one who thought that this was a cute lil’ guy flipping his middle finger right?

Nice setup!

Thanks! Hope it’ll turn out fine

Aww thank you

I really hope China stops fucking around with Taiwan. (am Taiwanese)

You must have missed the part where OP mentioned raspberry bits in a chocolate bar.

Going for purple to get the dog. I speak Mandarin, so if I put in the effort I could learn Cantonese really fast.

Glad to hear it’s not a taboo! I had been always under the impression that Ryukyu was some sort of taboo word that was never to be mentioned of. I had somehow connected it with the once-Chinese influence over the Ryukyu Islands and thought it would anger locals or something haha.

It’s actually scary how quick they’re rising. I live in Japan, and I once heard them at a intersection nearby on a car giving a speech. I hated how they speak. They sounded like they were heavily appealing to the emotion and used a lot of sentence final particles like ne, in a tone that sounded half-aggressive and also… very conservative in a way. They were talking some shit about how Japanese people should come first and that we should “protect Japan”, as if there was some sort of foreign force trying to tear Japan down to pieces. What’s worse was that there were actually people cheering for them. I actually wanted to go downstairs to shout at them but I restrained myself from doing that. I still sort of regret not going there to shout at them.

Cool, so people there actually like the name Ryukyu? I used the word Ryukyu in a Japanese class one day but I got corrected by the teacher saying that Okinawa is the new name.

(I’m Taiwanese btw)

I read this the first time as “he didn’t try to influence electrons”

Found the lemmite in Japan! How’s it over there?
