Welcome to Japan
Where cars are parked orderly and in reverse
Where fruits can be cubes
Where people keep left
And lamps have different brightness for double beds
People queue up in lines
Applies to stickers too
Where what you get is the same as the poster
you get waved goodbye..?
Relieving both mind and body
Yup.
Smooth train operator
No embarrassing knocking or barging into rooms to check out if they are occupied
When you need an extra hand
For the selfiestas
Brolly holders
Because normal manhole covers are too mainstream
Think diagonal
And anytime u need to soak your feet
Where you raise responsible adults, not brats
And luggage is organised in color codes
When you need help after the condom broke
Instant sanitary gratification
Why they are so welcome at football matches
Where water is that clean in the drains
Nuff said

When Anyone says it’s not possible to keep big cities clean I’m just show them this. Japan is one of the most densely populated countries don’t gimme that bs
After having been here two weeks I can account for almost all of these.
The fucking baby holders are legit and some are terrifying because they are placed in the bathroom stall in a fashion that you will have a staring contest with your infant while you poop.
kyoto is by far the cleanest city i’ve ever been to. it was incredible.

At this point there’s no excuse for a baby boomer to be technologically incompetent anymore. It’s just willful ignorance, this shit is not fucking hard
“why is it asking for a password” because you’re logging into something martha, that’s how it’s been for the last 20 fucking years
“how do i do [x] can you show me” no dale you can Google it like the rest of us. it requires one exposure to the concept of googling to understand how it works. your generation was smart enough to cause a total economic collapse out of malice but not smart enough to type in a few words I guess
“im just not tech savvy” no you just refuse to learn because like in most things you are stuck in your ways
the worst part is after you help an old fuck with some sort of tech bullshit 9 times out of 10 they’ll give you some kind of bullshit passive aggressive thank-you
like “oh i guess you young people have to know something about those phones you’re always on, huh?”
give me a fucking break gretchen i have depression from living in the economy you created and my phone is more of a reprieve than dealing with your stubborn inconsiderate ass
AND ANOTHER THING that just gets my blood boiling is their ability to get into their settings, completely fuck things up, and then manage to develop total amnesia about how it happened
what do you mean you set your phone to japanese on accident, phil? there’s like 15 separate menus you have to navigate through to get there
“i think it’s because i got a virus” no greg it’s not a virus, the only viruses here are your rampant stupidity and the deadly pathogens carried by your unvaccinated grandchildren
i just absolutely loathe that the people who decide if women should be executed for having abortions or not are the same people who can’t figure out how to work a blu-ray player with the instructions in front of them

Experiencing brutal cold for a period of time every year keeps you humble
That’s why Californians are like that
Time to plastic over the windows for the season.
????? Why??????????
You put the plastic on the windows to stop the heat from leaking out of your house from between the panes, through the glass itself, and where the window is attatched to the rest of the house. This does make a drastic difference in the temeprature of your house and the amount of gas/electricity needed to keep it warm.
Some other Winter Things:
- If you think there’s going to be an exceptionally deep freeze, you open up all the cabinets in the house to warm the air in there and keep the pipes from freezing/bursting.
- If you’re going to be away for a while in winter, it’s adviseable to turn your water off to avoid the same.
- Putting an electric Blanket between your topcover and bedsheet and pre-heating your bed for half an hour so you don’t get a chill going to bed.
- Applying literal vasaline to your lips if you’re going to be in the cold for an extended time (more than 10-20 min, depending on latitude), becuase chapstick won’t cut it and your lips will split and bleed and HURT
- Doing the same to your nose
- Your tears go from liquid to gooey trying to produce a similar protection for your eyes. You can also feel the water freeze on your eyes if you step directly out into the cold.
- Also since I know you’re a socal person- in the far north you can get as little as eight hours of daylight. 7AM to 3 PM. You need to by the most obnoxiously bright light possible and sit beside it or you will actually literally develop psychosis in some cases. It’s 4:30 and you need to take the dog out? it’s pitch black out.
- Everything is covered in ice, which will alternately cause you to slip and break something, burn, or actually tear off your skin.
- Christmas and the pressure to be jolly is much stronger in places with Winter. Get your Holly Jolly On In this Frozen Black Hellscape!!! It’s why people go real bananas on the holiday lights. they’re trying to stave off the void.
“trying to stave off the void” is my mood for the entirety of winter.

first really great October sunset since I got back. almost makes the nights of sitting praying the sun will pop out under the bottom of the clouds for almost a week–it didn’t–worth it. almost.

sensible part of brain: you made enough pasta that you could take it for lunch tomorrow. put it in a container.
overwhelming majority of brain: shovel the pasta into your face. do it. put it in your face. the future is meaningless but the pasta is now.
