Michael Hopcroft Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 I would be interested in reading an explanation of Japan's alcohol culture and why it is acceptable to go out with all the co-workers you already spend too much time with and get utterly smashed together.

That sounds to me like a lot of people in North America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It at one time was proposed that American culture was based on the concept of the cowboy. A loner, an individual making his own way responsible to no one. While Japanese culture is based on the village, a community always coming together against outside forces. These differing viewpoints are reflected in every level of both societies. From political outlooks to business practices. I am in no way educated or intelligent enough to prove or disprove this idea, but it does seem to bear out in many respects.

I saw a poster once that said something like this: "Hate your job? There's a support group for that! It's called 'Everybody', and it meets at the bar." Not sure if that's quite the same thing as what you're asking about, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave the circuit one last look-over, declared it OK, flipped on the power, and bent forward to write in my lab notebook. A few seconds later POW, about 20 cm from my head. I pushed myself away, dazedly wondering who had shot me at close range. The TA unhelpfully smirked at me and said, "Hooked up your capacitor backwards, didn't you?"
