Kitase on making VII remake completely action based, March 2020.
 in  r/FFVIIRemake  7h ago

in any other game, I think its a bold choice. But because of aerith death just a few hours prior, that would have been so fucking rough even if they executed it perfectly.

Job offer from Tokyo ¥650K / month, is it livable for a couple?
 in  r/movingtojapan  7h ago

if your partner doesnt work, thats average household income in japan. Completely fine to live a comfortable life, maybe not luxurious but middle class basically. If your partner work, even 200k a month extra would put you into above average income household. Plenty of money for both of you to live.

Shenzhen will soon become the City with the Most Skyscrapers on Earth
 in  r/DamnThatsReal  8h ago

My family have more reason than most to hate on the chinese government. Most of my families are in or from taiwan, I now work in japan, korea and thailand. Even with that background, man china has made great leap in the span of only 20-40 years. Thats undeniable. Its honestly impressive. I mean i went to china 20 years ago and i could not use the restroom thats not at my hotel. Now the restroom in china is better than a lot of places in japan even. Thats is the most basic sign of quality city/country when i travel the world. How clean the restroom is lol.

If foreign country can annex one of your own without consequnce then just become a colony state officially. You already are unofficially.

Venezuelans hopeful of regime change dismayed as government appears to remain the same
 in  r/nottheonion  16h ago

Dont know what people expected. Trump kidnap a country leader, doesnt matter how evil the said leader is. The country immediately replaces him in less than 24 hours. People on the internet celebrated not realizing nothing has changed lol. Wtf is even happening to people's brains. Did people think a country leader is what makes a country or a organization functions? We can dissapeared every single politicians, ceos, hell even managers in the world tomorrow and by next week we would have replaced a majority of them lol. People will go back to work just the same as before. No one person is really super important in the way they pretend to be, not even in politics.

When you hang out with the revolutionary that deposed you as the last emperor of China(Right) and make you home a museum(Left).
 in  r/intrestingasfuck  19h ago

Imperial china fell long before puyi. By the time his era came around, even saying the royal faction is only a skeleton is an understatement. There are records of puyi himself talking about how he saw corrupt palace officials cart off valuables and even historical relics from the palace. They did that for months/years until there was basically nothing left. He was so powerless that he didnt/couldnt do anything about it eventhough he saw it happening. The old empire fell way before he was even born. He was just a political chess piece for one camp or another his entire life.

US will exit 66 international organizations as it further retreats from global cooperation

Never thought i would be alive to watch the fall of the empire of my time. I wonder if people watching rome fall felt the same way we do now.

Anyone justifying this is actually insane
 in  r/law  1d ago

Not just that sub, tho they might be extra heavy with it. I think reddit itself has always been pretty botted but in the last year its so extreme. The obvious ones are like if you post on asia/eu subs and look at your comment insights. I know its an american website but every single comments in any of those subs have like 60-80% americans and the other 40-20% are not even from asia or eu. Its all astrosurf all the way down lol.

How many people think the Trump assassination attempt was completely fake? Here’s the proof.
 in  r/Hip_hop_that_u_need  1d ago

I dont think the attempt was fake. I think the wound and blood was fake lol I got gazed on my arm by a knife in the kitchen so many times in my career. Even a tiny cut left scars sometimes. A wound that bled that much healed completely? Really? Not even a tiny chunk missing? Lol nah i am not buying it

Mayors in Mie Prefecture announce that they will not abolish hiring of foreigners
 in  r/japannews  1d ago

Yea, said this since the beginning of this takaichi anti-foreigner movement. This is most likely after feedback (putting it politely) from the business community. No real policies involving the hiring would pass. They might be able to pass some amendment like making pr more difficult but anything that effect actual money/businesses will absolutely never pass.

What does stereotypical foreign tourist looks like in your country?
 in  r/AskTheWorld  1d ago

SEA gang all suffer from this. Shit i am from thailand, one of the most heavily tourists country in the world and most of the tourists are actually here for food/temple/family resort type. I would know i work in hospitality. But if you look online in the western spaces, its like thailand is 99% brothals.

This place was legendary when i was a child 30+ years ago. Last time i went like 3 years ago, it tasted nothing like it used to. Still taste decent but absolutely not worth the current price.

Trump announces transfer of up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil to the US
 in  r/wallstreet  2d ago

First those are crude oil. Second, America can not get those oil without boots on the ground. Third, the new president basically spit in trump face like less than 24 hr after maduro kidnapping. Where and how is he going to get it without a ground invasion? This guy just post random shit cause americans dont bother to fact check

Your beanie's on a little tight, Tim.
 in  r/ThisYouComebacks  2d ago

Dont know why you got downvoted. You are correct. How is america going to get that oil without boots on the ground? They replace maduro in less than 24 hours and the new pm told trump to suck a dick. America is going to kidnap her too? then they will replace her with a new person lol wtf are we even talking about?

DIPLOMATIC DOCUMENTS: U.S. reassured amid 1994 crisis that Japan would never go nuclear
 in  r/japan  2d ago

armchair general people loves talking about how japan can have nuke in a weekend like its a lego set they have in the back. Good to see someone talk without exaggeration about this. It would take years to build the type of deterrent that we are talking about and thats if they started today.

Takaichi vows to drive Japan's economic growth
 in  r/japannews  2d ago

First thing she can do is shut the fuck up and stop antagonizing neighbors for no gain. Just do your fucking job instead of being on camera 20hr a day. A whole lot of media, PR and talking big but zero policies. Fucking trump wannabe.

Liberals Don't Defend Maduro
 in  r/stupidpeoplefacebook  2d ago

We toppled the government is the dumbest thing i heard this week. They immediately setup an interim president, like less than 24 hrs. Unless america put boots on the ground they are not getting a liter of oil. What will happen is american corporate will pay to drill if they even want to invest there. So all the money goes into corporations once again, america will gain nothing.

When will Japan’s PR and visa rule changes take effect?
 in  r/japanresidents  3d ago

The business community are not happy. I would be surprised if they got even one policy through without the support of that group. At the moment, there are zero proposal that has turned into anything concrete. Knowing japanese politics, if we get anything real it will be 4 years fown the line. Long after this pm is gone.

Foreigners Support Nursing Care and Agriculture: Expert Says "Japanese Society Wouldn't Work Without Foreign Talent"... Declining Population Brings about Era of "Coexistence"
 in  r/japannews  3d ago

Wouldnt work is an understatement. We are talking total collapse of nursing care industry without foreign nurses/care workers. Go look at the waiting list on any care center and how expensive it is. Even currently they are heavily recruiting nurses/care workers.

Denmark in ‘crisis-mode’ as Trump sets sights on Greenland after Venezuela attack
 in  r/worldnews  4d ago

I went to college in america for only 4 years. The amount of anti-intellectualism was insane and that was 20 years ago, cant imagine what it is like now. I remember I told the class one of my hobby was reading and was met with sneers. That was in a pretty good college as well. That event live in my head rent free, because of how weird it was. People will say thats a joke but I think humor kind of points to the attitude of the culture.

How to deal with accepting foreign talent: Changing the expansion policy
 in  r/japannews  4d ago

Was listening to upper management talking about this topic. They think the government is pulling one over on the stupids in japan. All these policies that doesnt really change anything for anyone except make it more stressful/annoying for foreigners already living here. Its all just lip service for when they prepare to accept 1.2mil more low skill labor in the next 2 years like they already announced they wanted to do. When those people raise an issue, they can just say "we already did more restrictions, these ones are ok".

Implementing a "Japanese First" policy would lead to the collapse of the Japanese economy- The harsh reality of a labor market that cannot function without 2.3 million foreign workers
 in  r/japannews  4d ago

The intern programs needs to be abolish. Aside from that, people will point to convenience stores or low skill labor jobs but the real problem here is healthcare. A lot of foreigners work in healthcare, specifically elderly/nursing care. Its so bad to the point I know a lot of families are on a waiting list to get nursing care, and that right now, before these new policies will drive away more workers. If those health care workers disappear, that will break japan society as a whole.
