.......that school just casually has a koi pond in the courtyard??

 

[Kaizerdist]

That koi fish definitely isn't coming back. Definitely if kurose is there.

There are zero benefits to bringing out your smartphone in a conversation, unless you want to stop it dead in its tracks

Edit: I just stated the most milquetoast opinion in the world, and I am getting ❌'s for it. Not that I mind, but I don't understand what's so controversial about what I said? Or do people really pull out their smartphones so they can look up a response when spoken to? Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong

Carp are terrible, stinky mud-eaters, smelly meat.

"Hey, look at this shitpost/news headline" -Me, pretty often

Suppose as a conversation starter, but then you would normally put it back and continue the conversation from there without the smartphone, and not quote excerpts from google at one another? And even as a conversation starter, it isn't ideal even if functional.

It's not that strange, though? My grandfather used to have a small koi pond in his backyard, (If I'm remembering correctly, maybe around 4-5 feet squared?) and a lot of the more fancy Japanese restaurants around here (Hibachi, especially) often have koi ponds near the entrance. And that's just here in the United States, so it's not too far off to think that they'd be common enough in Japan for a relatively well-off school to have one.

ok but I only mentioned the school, the places you mentioned you'd expect to see koi ponds there, you rarely expect to see schools with those, at least from my knowledge

The point is that they're not actually as fancy as you seem to think they are. And in the first place, koi themself are sometimes seen as a symbol of Japanese culture, so it's not too strange to think a well-off Japanese school would have a koi pond. It's not normal, but it's not odd, either. It's just another thing they can have.

Like how a highschool school in the US might have a football field directly attached to it. It's not exactly what you'd expect to see, (instead, a separate field a ways away would be more common) but if you saw it you wouldn't be like "woah they just casually have a football field here," you know?

Guy's telling truth. Any equipment you bring out might tell that you are not interested and conversation is over.

Striking seems exaggerated to me, but I do think it depends on the context. Here for example, the conv was already dying (because he isn't very socially skilled), so he panicked and tried to keep it afloat by pulling a quick search. He wouldn't have said ANYTHING otherwise, trust me.

And even without the context of social skills being bad, sometimes it can be a good idea if used efficiently. Like if someone is talking about wanting a specific thing that you saw earlier at a very good price somewhere (you won't know if it is still here without checking, so it can be good to do it before giving them false hopes depending on who you're talking to)

The point isn't that using phones while talking is bad, it's that not listening in a conversation is bad. When no one's talking OR when it's to show something related to the subject at hand (if it is useful, of course), it can be okay.

Depends on who you're talking to tho, and I guess you're the type who don't like it at all, so, yeah, won't do it with people like you, that's for sure. I also have behaviours I hate so I'd respect other dislikes to help it being mutual. Just wanted to put some nuance, that's all.

We owned small koi pond in the house. When rainy season come, the pond will overflow and sometimes dumb fish will jump out of the pond and died at the side. My dad got this idea to cook the koi carp because it is our biggest one. It taste horrible, too many small bones, very little meat.
