  1. Re:Welcome to the rest of the world on The Price of Amazon · · Score: 2

    I honestly don't see the link with your message and what you replied to.

    The price of goods is decided what the market of buyers at large is willing to pay, not what every single buyer is willing to pay.

    Being profitable means spending money on taxes. It's more interesting to put spend on the extra money on R&D.

  3. Just evaluate it on Modeling How Programmers Read Code · · Score: 1

    If you want to know what a code prints, just evaluate it, it will tell you instantly without having to worry whether you made a mistake in evaluating the code in your head.
    Now if you want to understand the code, that's something else, but it's not what's asked here. The code is sufficiently straightforward that the only explanation you could give is the code itself.

    gaijin chronicles, what a funny site name.
    They should have gone full weeaboo and call it gaijin no monogatari or something.

    A sauna and a jacuzzi are entirely different things. A jacuzzi is the name of a brand of hot tubs. Some people also use the word spa, though a spa can also refer to a larger water treatment installation.
    A sauna is a nordic cabin typically with a wooden interior where you experience high temperatures. It is a bit similar to the maghrebian hammam, except the latter uses steam, and therefore has wet rather than dry heat.

    Hikikomori are usually not that casual. They'd play eroge instead.

    I fully agree with you.

    You don't lie because you can, you lie to get what you want or to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

    Just out of school? Good luck getting any job!

    If you're not getting a job as soon as you leave school (or even before you even finished your studies), then there is a big problem with your higher education.

    It says 70% of couples in Japan stop having sex after 40. That doesn't really surprise me, I would have thought it was similar in the west too, or maybe only after 50.

    There is no point to life. The only meaningful thing you can do is seek happiness.
    Obtaining happiness requires being entertained, and those people simply have good enough entertainment that they do not need to seek it outside.

    There is no problem to solve here.

    That's wrong. There is not a single stereotype.
    Manga caters to all fetishes, so you can find anything from easygoing girls, shy girls, big chests, flat chests, etc.

    There is a difference between casual sex and marriage.
    Japanese women definitely like having sex with foreigners. Japanese women however, are not really good in bed, so I wouldn't recommend them to anyone unless you have weird fetishes (they moan in a distinctive way, are more open to facial ejaculation, have more smelly vulvae and keep it unshaven and have bodies generally less developed -- most of their female appeal is the result of skin/hair care or cute fashion clothing, so seeing them naked usually leads to disappointment)

    I don't know what's so difficult with finding a job. Assuming you're got some real skill in a valuable domain, you can easily get hired. Most companies desperately look for competent people to fulfill their needs.
    Setting up your own successful business, however, is much more difficult.

    There is a simple way to deal with this. Do not trust women, and use them as much as they'd try to use you.
    Only once you've established a relationship that has passed the test of time may she gradually earn your trust.

    I do not find socializing with women, or even getting women into my bed, to be particularly difficult. Study the game, learn its rules and train, and you're good to go.
    It is, however, fairly worthless. Many women in their twenties seem to have no other goal in life than to party or go out, and have therefore very shallow interests. They do not value solitary entertainment, like reading a book or playing a video game. If they watch a movie or a TV show, it better be with other people.

    It is not something genetic, it is a matter of conditioning. Women are conditioned to be seek more social interaction, while men are conditioned to pursue things greater than life, like enlightenment or the elevation of skills. This is apparent in how the genders work differently in the job market.
