Ah, okay. I appreciate the fact check.
TIL that Japanese people are all autistic.
edit: an explainer as I can see how this sounds insensitive without context (note that I am not Japanese, this is only from what I have come to understand as an outsider looking in)
Japanese folklore, as Shinto, puts forth the idea that inanimate objects can have (or develop?) their own (personified) spirits. This has carried over to modern behaviour and beliefs, where personification of objects is quite common.
Even if most Japanese don't identify as being of Shinto faith/spirituality, and probably don't believe that random inanimate object X has a living spirit within it, items are often treated with great care as though they were to have a spirit. (theory time: maybe this plays a part in why you can often find used items in such good condition in Japan...)
Them's the small government folks for ya...
Guessing Intel contracted out their warranty to Asus, who were willing to do it for the least $$ (since Asus probably knows their administration of the program wouldn't cost much with all their denials)?
They don't think it be like that, but like that it do indeed be.
Yea, that gene most East Asians have (~80% for Japanese iirc?) causes much fewer sweat glands, so much reduced BO production. Not none, but enough that a BO smell can't be picked up until a few days without washing (which would be sacrilegious to do anyway). But even if not what we think of as BO, they can definitely smell too. Get on a crowded train in the summer heat and...it's not always so nice lol.
Can confirm on deodorant being so rare tho. Every pharmacy seems to have only a single option tucked away.
That's exactly how it's viewed in Japan.
Smell like shit (BO, etc)? Go wash yourself, you stink.
Smell like a pine tree from cologne? Go wash yourself, you stink.
I love me some bullet trains, but there is a certain distance that makes planes way more viable.
There should be a lot more (and higher quality) high speed rail between cities of moderate distance, however.
I really want to downvote this but I can't bring myself to do it.
