Life tip: if you're at the store, and you see 1 box of yakitori with 8 skewers for 980 yen, and you see 3 boxes of yakitori with 3 skewers each for 298 yen each, if you do the math then 3 boxes of 3 skewers is without a doubt cheaper.

@ryo Life tip that will help nobody here. I don't even know what yakitori is.

@xianc78 Yakitori is chicken on a skewer.

It will help if you replace "yakitori" for whatever other food you can buy that has similar options.
For example, McNuggets.
You can buy 1 big box or multiple smaller boxes, consider the amount of nuggets you get in each one of them, and calculate how much you'll be paying.

@ryo @xianc78 I could have guessed that. From what I know, yaki generally means that it's fried or grilled, or cooked, or whatever (teriyaki, takoyaki, tamagoyaki. And tori is bird, and generally chicken is just called bird. Kinda fun to know. Though I think I'll never actually know Japanese, because I really question if it's worth learning at this point. I'll probably be dead in less than 10 years, and I will be in no position to enjoy any media way before that, so does it really make sense to make long-term investments at this point? I can't find a justification for that.

@TerminalAutism @xianc78 I don't recommend anyone to come here for the time being.
Not until most people drop the entire scamdemic altogether, because while most people are quite OK, you'll still find some random lunatics who will go out of their way to force you to wear a mask (which is actually illegal, and anyone doing so can expect PENALty of up to 3 years in prison + 5 million yen fine, according to the "law" that is, which even the governments are using as toilet paper at this point).

@ryo @TerminalAutism I've heard that some people just like the privacy aspect of wearing a face-mask even though facial recognition algorithms can detect faces wearing them now. I know Masahiro Sakurai says that he likes to wear one because otherwise, people who recognize him will start asking him questions.

@xianc78 @TerminalAutism Yes, and I actually think there's more of them out there.
The true believers of the scamdemic do exist, but it's seemingly not as many now I think of it.
Most people wear it just to not be the needle that sticks out, which creates the problem of governments, media, businesses, and whatnot believing that most people actually still believe it all.
Meanwhile, the true believers are the ones who will actively avoid you, force you out of elevators, force you to wear a face diaper, and whatnot, and honestly even with the recent brainlets I've met it's still an extremely tiny minority.

Another thing is that younger people are more likely to blindly follow the company "rules" of which they work for to the pixel, so even if they know it's a scam, they'll still kick you out of stores for not wearing a face diaper because "oh what if that one person who clearly doesn't give a fuck is scared of the covAIDS?".

@ryo @TerminalAutism Here's a solution, that I came up with. If you see someone not complying with the mandates (like not wearing a mask), pay them a small tip. This encourages them to keep doing it.
