How did he manage to hide it so well?

東京グルメで世界一周 Foreign cuisine from around the world divided by region and country. More common cuisines like American and Italian are also divided by specialty.

Yes, it means the same as crowdsourced in this case.

Also, does anyone know any good sites for finding restaurants that aren't user generated? I find Gurunavi and Tabelog overwhelming, and also lacking in detail for individual restaurants. Is there anywhere with more detailed and curated content. I like bento.com despite it's design language being stuck in the early 2000s. Is there anything like that but in Japanese and more extensive?

Yes, it's gay to be concerned about what kind of world you're leaving to your children and grandchildren. /s

Can't I have a decently sized kitchen and a gay sex room?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

When I had sex ed in the late 90's, I was shown videos with real (but obviously non-sexualized) nudity. I don't remember there being any controversy about that at all, and I went to a Christian school (Anglican).

I'm a cis gay man into eurobeat. There are some trans people I know of on the scene. There's Jessa Stebbins/Kendra Blast in America, and DJ Satomi in Japan.

I think this song about Egg superstars is also relevent to your post.

I'm not a native speaker, but I've studied Japanese for more than a decade. There are no singular, non-gendered third person pronouns, so there is no equivalent of a singular they. Although there is an equivalent of a plural they, it's not completely gender neutral. The equivalent of him is kare, and the equivalent of her is kanojo. You can make them plural by ending "ra" on to the end of them. Kanojora is used only for groups of women/girls, and karera can be used for a group of men/boys, or a mixed-gender group. That makes the root meaning of karera male coded even if it's used in a gender neutral manner, so non-binary people might prefer not to use that.

This shouldn't however be a major issue for Japanese speakers, as first person pronouns are the only ones that are in frequent use. Unlike English, where you use pronouns to avoid repitition, you can completely omit them in Japanese, so instead of asking "Has Asami done her homework?" in English, you would ask "Has Asami done homework?" It's also preferable to use names instead of 2nd/3rd person pronouns. Instead of asking "How about you?", you'd ask "How about (person's name)?" It's probably much easier for a non-binary person to ask that no pronouns be used for them

Why were they so sure the penguins weren't just roomates?

I knew I was gay when I was 12. I've only ever been attracted to men, and I'll be 40 next week. If you think you're gay, you're very likely correct. Some people's sexualities are fluid, so you may also be "incorrect". Either way, it doesn't really matter. Life is not a quiz. You're under no obligation to give the "correct answer" first time, and it's not too late if you suddenly realize you gave the "incorrect answer" when you're in your twenties, thirties, or even older.

I only watch/read Japanese media raw, so I guess my eyes are free to wonder.
