Let's Speak English

Mario is a kitchen hand. He prepares turtles for consumption.

>>77571561
How do plumbers preform maintenance on those toilets you have to squat over?

The ones that I guess are ground based urinals.

>>77571561
Doctor?

>>77571561
I used to think he was a knight or something?

>>77571850
How? He wears overalls and a cap.

>>77571561
A corporate mascot for the seven-headed beast of the apocalypse?

>>77571850
He was a carpenter in Donkey King, then a plumber in the Mario games.

Jumpmen look more like this.

>>77571877
yeah, but he saves a princess from a dragon.
Plumbers do pipe and water service, they don't rescue princesses from dragons.

I'm not even that anon, I just also had a similar sort of idea about it. He was like a knight or something, but before Bowser the mushroom kingdom was so peaceful he didn't need armor or weapons or anything, so he just wore regular clothes.

>>77571561
How much is a jumpman's monthly salary?
And how big is their union?

Is Mario not a plumber in Japan? Is it an American thing like him being from Brooklyn?

>>77571633

One time, in Tokyo, I had to poop real bad. But the only toilets around were squat toilets. And I wasn't comfortable squatting to poop because I worried I'd get poop on the back of my pants. So I had to hold it until I got back to the apartment, which was agony. But as I exited the bathroom I realized I would've had to buy toilet paper anyway, so in the end, I give the experience a 5 out of 10.

>>77572328
I think they're just dumb kids

>>77572331
That's fucked up.

Charging money for toilet paper in a bathroom. It's like they want someone to smear shit all over their mirrors or something.

>>77572476

>That's fucked up.

Could be worse. I had to pay 1 euro to use the bathroom at a bus station in Athens. Good thing all I had to do was take a leak, because the lady gave me two squares of toilet paper.

>It's like they want someone to smear shit all over their mirrors or something.

Unthinkable in Japan.

It's nice to see that some washed-up weeaboo who would have no place trying to teach any language in her own country get a job in another because they aren't able to tell that she's shit at it.

>>77571633

Plunger, basically - there's no trap on those things to really need dismantling or fixing.

>>77572328
he was known as jumpman in the original donkey kong i think
an obscure thing for grade school kids to know

>>77572911
Why are you so unhappy anon?

>>77572980
You mean disappointed?
Because people can pull that shit and get away with it.
Like I just said, you dumbass.

>>77572911

You seem to be upset about something, and I don't think it's the main character/writer of this comic.

Are you happy with the career you're currently following?

But that's a farmer.

Not a plumber.
Not Mario.
He doesn't even have a mustache.

>>77573026
He might be a failed teacher or something

>>77572331
There is a hook in the door. You can hang your pants there. Also I have never seen a toiler where you have to pay for paper and I'm posting this from Japan right now. Also it is pretty easy to find western toilets. I mean, the ones you sit like the wester ones but that have that in built bidet to clean your ass for you. Outside public toilets these seems to be the most common. So if I need to shit in japan I just get in a big store and see where the toilet is.

>>77573044
Westerns all look the same.

>>77573026
>>77573056
Take your passive-aggressive nonsense elsewhere. It's plain to see the person who makes the comic has no business trying to be a teacher, and wouldn't be if standards weren't so incredibly lax in foreign countries, particular asian ones.

If you can't deal with that and need to resort to pathetic armchair psychology in an attempt to defend it says more about you than me, and I suggest you pack it in and stop embarrassing yourself.

She's not going to sleep with you no matter how hard you shill it.

Anyone notice in the 3 comics she started drawing her nose different?

>>77573505
*Last 3 comics

>>77573505
She got a western nose!

>>77573298
Yup, in fact not long ago i had a teacher that said he knew english... Nobody checked so nobody found out that he actually didnt... He had taken classes on a speaking oriented english course... The dude actually though that every "-ing" was "-INE" one of his examples written on the board was "interestine" he actually complained when i said it wasnt right... It took one class for him to be fired...

>>77572911
But, she isn't a teacher is she? It's more of a teacher assistant thing, or whatever the title may be. And the responsibilities are not as big, which in turn shows in the pay.

>>77573298
Yeah, but then you'd be in Brazil, and no one wants that.

>>77571561
Anyone else have fantasies about putting a paper bag over the artist's face and doing unspeakable things to her?

>>77573864

ye

>>77576048

that doesn't explain why the artist chose to draw sexydottakingashit.jpg

>>77572911
She's not a teacher, exactly. She's something more akin to a token foreigner that they hire so that kids can get used to hearing how English sounds when spoken by Americans when they learn. Any "teaching" jobs they give her are mostly just an excuse to give her something to talk with the class about.

>>77576457
Um because it was his fetish?

>>77576457
probably a weirdo with a deviantart interested in toilets

>>77575877
What... What is this advertising?

What do you get for three dollars?

>>77576471

Eikaiwa. Learning through conversation. I did it with a group of adults for $30 an hour every Saturday when I studied in Tokyo. It's actually pretty fun, and I'd imagine with kids Cagle doesn't get awkward moments like the JSDF member of the class trying to argue with you about the Iraq war.

>>77575447
Much better, thank you based anon. Now excuse me, I need to...go...take a shower.

>>77576620
access to the toilet

>>77576620
Three dollars to use the shitter.

>>77576620
on the left side you can read "sanitarios" that in spanish is bathroom or restroom, you have to pay 3 pesos (not dollars) to use it.

>>77576646
Your welcome, go have your fun

>>77572878
>I had to pay 1 euro to use the bathroom at a bus station in Athens
It would be worth it if they at least would use that money to keep the toilet stalls clean.

I am still glad that I never had to use those squat toilets in France (yes, they have them there)

>>77576048
Nigga, you should have taken a picture of that.

>>77572962
They didn't know that.
She asked what his job is and the only thing they know about him is that he jumps. So they guessed.

>>77576620
Obviously what the ad implies... watching a sexy loli use the toilet. What else could it be?

>>77572366
It's an English class in Japan so she is asking for his job's name in English, which they probably don't know.

>>77577474
That's gross though

>>77577294
to be honest I didn't thought of it back then, I'll probably gonna hit town and see if they are still open.

>>77578211
As a mexican, I can tell you it's probably not that good, and the place might actually be pretty shady. It's not that uncommon to see places with bootleg versions of famous characters, used for their popularity to attract business. The best ones are mainly candy shops, but only because the candies they sell are normal.

A couple of years ago, in Avenida Revolución (pretty popular avenue in downtown) in Tijuana, there was a drugstore called Dr. Mario, with Mario and the logo interpreted as if they were from Dr. House.

>>77577919
To be fair, I don't think any webcomic with a self-insert draws themselves accurately.

>>77578365
Ronnie from Whomp and Katie Tiedrich of awkward zombie

Ronnie is an exception in that he draws himself worse than he actually looks in real life.

this also happens in my country, it didn't use to but some tards from the education system insisted that kids could probably use the computers to watch porno and stuff like that. when I was a kid we could even install games and the teacher didn't give a fuck, we used to play pokemon yellow and a lot of other game boy games using floppy disks.

You don't even need a degree in English or even be an English teacher to go over there. You just need ANY 4 year degree.

That's why most of the people who go over to do this are just huge weeaboos that want an excuse to go to Japan, and this is a way to not only do that, but also get paid to be over there.

>>77580422

I just do this to make good money for a few years to be able to put down a deposit when I return home.

I got a surprisingly well paid position and I'm the only teacher, so overtime is plentiful, living very comfortably and sending home over £1000 every month.

His fapbait fetish MC is based on a RL girl that wants nothing to do with him and probably forget he exists. It is blatantly him not getting over the fact that she doesn't want to date him and drawing pictures of her with his fetish to fap to. He tries to claim it's feminism inspired.
Combine this with his pretentiousness despite being an utter twat, his lacking the intelligence necessary to be pretentious, his massive ego, and the ability to get triggered faster than any tumblarina. You have a person you can truly loathe beyond others. Then he got himself funded via a kickstarter for thousands of dollars(over 100k?) with the promise that it funds him doing more comics. I honestly doubt he's even done three pages since then and the time since the money came in can be measured in years now.
He is just a horrible human being and I'm sure if i wanted to betray my brain and read his twitter i'd find more crap.

Not necessarily. That kind of attitude happens a lot; just look at most teen writers on Deviantart or Korra shippers.

But now that he's already made an ass of himself, based Mary is taking shots at him over the whole "I invented Rule 63" thing and it is awesome.

He made a steampunk Zelda where Zelda is the main character saving prince Link. Nintendo made Linkle and he got butthurt saying it is stupid and how they stole his much better idea. "It's not like I never designed Zelda characters" people started making fun of him and he went on a block spree while trying to damage control.

Why does this make some of you so butthurt? JET in particular (which I think is what she does) pays pretty decent and has subsidized housing. You get to travel, you get to learn a language, you get to meet new and interesting people.

Sure she and most other eikaiwa teachers are huge weebs, but they're weebs who find a way to make their tastes work for them. As long as she's not like the landwhale I met while I studied abroad (bitch skipped every ryokan breakfast in Nagano so she could hoof it to the one McDonalds in every little town to eat pancakes, didn't like Japanese food or speaking the language, and was more into Prince of Tennis musicals and real-life shotas than learning anything about the country) I got no beef with her earning some cash and making Japanese students happy.

I'm beginning to suspect the anons that hate Cagle and her ilk are either failed teachers, ex-weeaboos, or keked Japanese people. Possibly all three.

You can still graduate school in Japan even if you DIE. Being held back a year doesn't actually exist there.

>>77590648
I guess they allow a dead kid to graduate more as a gift for the family.

From what I heard that since the entrance to good universities are freaking hard people who get in already study hard by nature and that having the recommendation of a teacher is what matters so getting shit done in the university counts more than the paper tube you get at the end.

Jumpman was Mario's original name.

>>77591297
We know.

"Jumpman" was Mario's original name in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong, which featured several elements that appear in Jumpman. Randy Glover has stated that Donkey Kong was the original inspiration for Jumpman.[1] It is not clear whether the naming commonality is anything other than a coincidence.

>>77587206

...Huh? Where did you get that I was butthurt? All I did was point out that you don't need an English degree or any experience teaching at all; Just a 4-year degree of any sort.

I don't hate Cagle at all. I think her comics are funny and cute, even if "Culture shock via Japanese kids" is something that's been done well enough before (Gaijinsmash. Not a comic of course, but the idea still gets across.)

Is it because I said mostly weeaboos do it? You yourself pointed out that most do. It is pretty much an easy-street way to get to Japan, and basically get paid to do so.

I'm borderline a weeaboo myself, so I probably would have jumped at the chance to do this, if I had the opportunity. It seems like it would be a cool thing to do regardless of even if you were or not, just for the experience, but the truth is a lot of people who do go over there are. And sometimes, once they've been exposed to the source for so long, their love for all things Japanese ends up dissipating once the way Japan "really is" sinks in. ("Really is" as in "Not like an anime.")

The study is neither here nor there but you have to imagine what type of person would look at a video game and think about its treatment of women enough to write a book about it.

How does MGS treat women? Because it's one of the most fanserivcey beefcake games I can think of. Snake gets stripped naked and tortured in practically every game. (Except MGS2, where Raiden gets that treatment instead.)

>>77598545
>The study is neither here nor there but you have to imagine what type of person would look at a video game and think about its treatment of women enough to write a book about it.

...a critic?

Literary and film criticism have been around for an eternity. It was inevitable that video games would enjoy the same treatment once they started telling actual stories.

>>77598741
on one hand just about every game has lots of female fanservice
(Meryl's ass, the pin-up posters, Eva, the beauties who sway they hips towards you and give lethal hugs, Quiet)
but at the same time women are consistently better than men. Sniper Wolf talks about how women make better soldiers than men. Olga is just plain better than Raiden. The Boss is literally the single greatest soldier who ever lived, and Eva is pretty damn competent too. Ocelot's super soldiers in 4 are an all-female squad, and the most dangerous non-boss enemies in the game. Quiet is probably better at doing Venom Snake's job than he is, able to take out entire bases while he sits safe on a hill as her spotter

>>77598741
It's a mixed bag like everything else in MGS because Kojima is a hack writer.

On one hand you have characters like Olga and The Boss who are highly competent and alll that jazz, on the other hand you have Meryl going "I was trained to have no interest in men" and all the fanservice stuff.

It's all about if you can accept retarded shit in the game in an otherwise serious story or not, people like the Burches can't and get butthurt about it and say Kojima hates women.

I e-mailed her introducing myself and asking if she wanted to be penpals a few months ago. Made it very clear it wasn't an obsession or romantic thing, I just feel it's hard to make friends as an adult with similar hobbies and we both do creative work, so it could be interesting. She didn't reply.

I had the idea for a chain of dedicated bathroom buildings. If you've ever been to a city you know how every building has to say "BATHROOMS FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY", and if you've driven a long time for a trip you know you look out for certain kinds of places hoping their bathrooms are relatively cleaner.

Well, what if like McDonald's there were bathroom centers all along the highway and on city corners? You go in and there's a free area that's basically a nicer piss trough, then there are small dollar bathrooms, then nicer two dollar bathrooms, and so on.

You could even use the web service to reserve the really nice bathrooms for like five dollars, and maybe if it was big you could actually pay like ten bucks a month to be guaranteed one of the nice bathrooms or your money back.

You'd only have to have like three guys for staff to keep the bathrooms super clean.

>>77605991
No, American education standards really suck fifteen bags of whale dicks. Asian countries don't believe in curving grades or "no child left behind". If an entire class has a bad overall score on the test, they don't magically make whoever had the highest score be the equivalent of an A. If anything it even causes headaches for the teachers because if all students end up with terrible grades on their particular subject it just opens a whole new can of worms for the teacher.

>>77606086
>Larger countries
>Just about every single country in the top 10 is smaller than Japan

On top of that, I fail to see any correlation between declining birth rates and being a country that "find honor in suicide or murder", specially when some of the causes of the declining birthrates are the rise of herbivore men and NEETs that don't want in any way shape or form to assosciate with 3dpd

Yet Wikipedia also has a whole article specifically about suicide in Japan and how it's a big national issue. Kind of giving mixed signals there.
Also note how Japan is one of the few industrial countries that is so high, the others are shitholes, except for Korea.

>>77606079
Not highest.

People spout bulshit about Japan all the time. I'm in Japan right now and a lot of things people say is pure bulshit.

>they are not fat because they eat very little.
Bulshit, they don't eat a cheese block like a chocolate bar like those landwhales but they still eat a lot. They are not fat because their diet in general is healthier (but not every dish is healthy, also they have a huge variety of unhealthy snacks) and they walk/ride a bicycle much more.

>They are sooo racist!
I feel more racism in my multicultural country. Of course there are racist people, there are racists anywhere but they probably threat people here better than in your country. I see fags claiming that they were given the english menu as an example of Japanese racism when all they were trying to do is be helpful.

>it is dangerous
It is literally one of the safest countries in the world.

>sexist
Women are happier than men in Japan.

And the list goes on. Also I have seen people making claims about Japan like if they were an expert when all he did was a vacation on China and generalized what he saw to all Asia.

notice how the first 10 are full of 3rd world country shitholes, of course their respective government calls them suicides and not "ooops!, we let a guerrilla fucking kill every single person in that village".
also about finding honor in suicide about like 70 years ago it was still very common to see soldiers spilling their guts on the streets because they lost the war and that was totally shameful, that kind of thing kept going until the 80's when most people who fought in that war was already dead. right now you have lot of people who find very honorable to kill themselves because they don't want to shame their families for very trivial things like not making enough money or not marrying or working for a person their parents accept.

You are pulling shitty conclusions out of your ass. Why don't you check how third world countries deal with murders first?

>>77606290
Just means someone cared enough to write the article, is all.

Is Mario a deadweight on mushroom welfare?

And Ukraine is in direct neighborhood on that scale. Still higher than most other countries.

At least she's not a full on unlike able fujoshit or something. Being shy is ok at least that's what I tell myself

>>77599736
I think a lot of it relates to the same problem people have with Diaz, with the "Just admit you like the titties, don't tell me they're empowering somehow". Especially with characters like Laughing Octopus or Quiet.

>>77607775
I'm pretty sure they just find it funny to put fanservice for both audiences together with other goofy stuff in the middle of what is mostly a serious story. They don't advertise Metal Gear as a feminist game.

Mushroom-Kingdom plumbers are not like Real-World-Kingdom plumbers.
Pipes in the Mushroom Kingdom are warp tunnels used to channel energy and matter. Plumbers are like mystic demi-gods with command over time and space.

There's a company called 2theloo doing that in Europe right now, even has little shops selling fancy toilet supplies and knick-knacks in them.

>Ocelot's super soldiers in 4 are an all-female squad, and the most dangerous non-boss enemies in the game

However at the same time you've got the worst portrayal of women in MGS, The Beauties, who are just really poorly executed characters all around. Despite their concept and the Beast portion of the fights being pretty cool.

For all the complaints about "unrealistic ideals of beauty", the fact remains that thirsty little boys have no standards.

And, of course, they did that in Snow Crash.

Fuck you, buddy.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and should be discouraged whenever and however possible.

everyone has a right to death

>>77609648
All lives exist to serve the common good.

What, you think that because little Suzy Blue dumped you and you're all broken up about it, that gives you the right to take yourself out of the equation?

>>77609609
You are dealing with the effect and not the cause. People who kill themselves are in a state where it doesn't matters anymore. It is not a temporary problem for them because in their minds all the hope was destroyed. There is nothing more to be done, there is no fixing. Being a dick to the families and friends of people who killed themselves doesn't bring anything good to them or anyone at all except you who can act like a dick you are and still think you are doing good.

No, it doesn't.

Speaking as a Buddhist, suicide is a temporary solution to a permanent problem.
