A company run by a dictatorial CEO where employees in their 30s and 40s make up a small percentage of the workforce—the reason being there are no mid-level managers 🟰—is highly likely to be an exploitative workplace.

When you apply for a job, I think you should state your desired hourly wage.

Once, when I was assigned to a tour desk, I stated my desired hourly wage, and they agreed to it. Since the hourly wage at the time was $ 15, I asked for more than that.

In that case, my request was granted.

If they refuse to negotiate your hourly wage and simply offer the minimum wage, I think that’s a exploitative company.

I think I’m in the same situation. Just the other day, when I went to Japan, my flight ticket was under my passport name, but my Global Entry information didn’t match because I changed my last name after getting married, so I couldn’t use TSA. However, I’ve been able to use TSA when traveling to remote islands.
When I returned to Hawaii this time, I asked a Global Entry representative which name was on file for me, and it turns out it was the one on my passport, not the one in the Global Entry system. I still don’t quite understand how the system works.

Hello ！
I’ve been thinking about having my 2-and-a-half-year-old daughter take violin lessons, and while I was looking into it, I found this studio.
I was planning to have her start around the time she turns 3, so I haven’t contacted them yet …. It looks like they teach in both Japanese and English 😄

I’ve taken lessons at Virtuoso Violin.
Everyone from young children to adults seemed to be enjoying their lessons.
Please feel free to check out their website.

I think you'll also find them at the music school in Ala Moana.

It would be faster to ask Discovery Bay directly.

On rare occasions, it may be closed for maintenance.

I’d recommend the sauna at Sky Ala Moana instead.

I live in Discovery Bay ！
When it gets hot, the thermometer sometimes reads 140, but since that’s in Fahrenheit, I don’t think it’s as hot as it is in Japan.
Also, it occasionally breaks down.

Can't you resolve this by resetting your login method here? ？

I can log in through the Yahoo website and check my email there, but it doesn't seem to sync with the Mail app on my iPhone ？—the one that comes pre-installed on the iPhone. I'm thinking ？ that there might be some restrictions because I live overseas.
I’m busy today, so I’m thinking of stopping by the Apple Store tomorrow, but since it’s a Japanese Yahoo Mail account, I’m worried they might not be able to resolve the issue.

So that’s the situation, then.

It seems that Yahoo Mail does indeed have restrictions on access from overseas enabled by default.

Disabling the access restrictions for overseas users might make it possible.

I hope it works out.

As Ko-ji-san mentioned, I tried disabling access from overseas yesterday, but it didn't work.
Today, I received helpful advice at the Apple Store, and we tried all sorts of solutions, but we couldn’t resolve the issue. For now, they set up a bookmark for Yahoo! Japan Mail, and I’ve been opening it from there. Although I’ve saved my password and other information on my smartphone, I have to go through text verification every time I open it, which is a hassle.
The Apple representative told me to try opening it again from the iPhone Mail app after a while—they said there’s a chance it might start working for some reason, but they couldn’t say for sure. They mentioned that this kind of thing happens from time to time.
I imagine there are many people living overseas who use the Yahoo! Japan Mail service—has anyone else been affected by this?

I was able to get through on the phone. It was a very busy
restaurant where it’s hard to get a reservation.
Thank you very much.

Nayami,
you’ve run into someone who’s incredibly irresponsible.
If you can’t take responsibility until the very end, you shouldn’t have started in the first place, but first of all, feeding stray cats in public places without permission is illegal.
You could be fined, so you should stop doing that.
Feeding cats that haven’t been spayed or neutered contributes to the stray cat population, which is likely why that law was enacted.
A while back, a cat-loving neighbor of mine started feeding them, but it led to a vicious cycle where kittens kept having kittens, and the stray cat population exploded. After receiving complaints from other neighbors, they had a hard time catching them all and eventually took them to the Humane Society.
So, I think it’s fine to just say, “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to break the law,” to that irresponsible friend.
I think the cats will eventually move to areas where animal welfare organizations have obtained permits to feed them.

P.S. — Since traffic violations are caught in the act, even if you report the video to the HPD, they’ll just say, “Please be careful,”
and won’t issue a ticket.

They will keep a record of it, though. Unless they witness the incident firsthand, they won’t issue a ticket.
If they were to issue a ticket for every single instance, they’d end up issuing tickets to
every single driver.

Thank you for sharing your experience and letting me know that tickets are only issued for drivers caught in the act.
What’s more, this recent incident happened while I was walking with my child in a stroller—I thought we’d be pretty noticeable, but the driver seemed to completely ignore us, which really made me angry. If it had been drizzling, I might have felt so miserable that I would have burst into tears.
A little while ago, I also witnessed a car accident right in front of me at an intersection where two cars collided. If I’d been walking a little further ahead and waiting at the traffic light, I might have been caught up in it, so I’ve been staying extra vigilant when waiting at traffic lights lately.

The other day, while driving down Kapahulu Avenue, I saw someone crossing the crosswalk while filming the traffic ？ on the street ？ with their smartphone. Every single car, both to the right and left, had come to a complete stop. After seeing your post, I wondered if this person might have had a similar experience ？, but how about trying to cross the crosswalk this way? ？

Even when I’m driving, I feel like traffic has been moving faster lately. I think pedestrians must have a lot of scary experiences. Our street faces a major road, and since there are quite a few traffic accidents, to be honest, I’m afraid to let my son walk there alone.

#5 Mr. M
＞ Why don’t you try crossing the crosswalk this way? ？

The City of Honolulu has a law commonly known as the “No Smartphone While Walking Law （ Distracted Walking Law / Ordinance Section 15-24.23 ）,”
which prohibits “viewing （ Viewing ） ” the screen of electronic devices such as smartphones while crossing crosswalks or roads.

We’ve summarized the key points you should know.

[Prohibited Activities ・ and Devices]

◆Prohibited actions: Sending text messages, checking social media, browsing the web, and watching videos on your smartphone are, of course, prohibited—even “simply checking the time on the screen” is not allowed.

◆Covered devices: Smartphones, tablets, laptops, digital cameras, handheld game consoles, etc.

◆The Only Exception: This is permitted only when calling 911 （ for an emergency ）.

🚨Hands-free calls or listening to music ？
"looking at the screen" is what is regulated; therefore, making a call without looking at your smartphone screen or
listening to music while crossing the street—（ setting safety concerns aside—） does not constitute a violation of this law.

💡 Crossing the street while filming a video—if you’re looking at the screen—is a violation and subject to a fine.
I know of people who paid fines for this before the pandemic, but enforcement of this violation has now become more lenient.

I forgot to mention one more important point.

In the event of a traffic accident on a crosswalk, if you were filming the incident, the pedestrian would also be considered to have committed a violation, which would put them at a disadvantage.
