Queen shit op, keep killing it
You should extend your outreach to furries. There's going to be someone nearby, and there's a 12% chance they're also trans. Maybe less in Japan.
You just have to figure out your animal. What are you?
Shark pit! Shark pit! Shark pit!
I've seen your blog posts before, your work is pretty cool! I'm not in Japan but feel free to hit up my contacts, especially if you're heading to the UK
I would have ringed/rang/rung/whatever your bell if I was still in Japan unfortunately it's been years. Good luck !
- a BLÃ…HAJ pit (400 shark plushies) with ocean wave projectors, sound effects and an OLED tv
whaaat hahah now that's cool
btw im also fine with online friends, i hate not having many people to talk to.
this feels like some kind of government honeypot operation
like who's going to believe that someone would actually have four hundred shonks in a
oh
oh my god it's real
:3
That’s either an elaborate trap or the coolest hangout ever. Nice digs, kid.
Th risk seems worth it though.
excuse me, 400 shorks???🥺🥺

This is the correct number of shurks. Any fewer and you run the real risk of not having a swarm. And a swarm is the best number of shorks.
No bloodplay in the pit.
i think i'm in love
awe
Oh my god. I need to get a plane ticket to Tokyo asap
didn't know you had vip access to heaven
Oh my god thats amazing, makes me wish I lived in Tokyo
i rlly wanna see that photo but imgur is blocked in the UK, could you please do a direct Lemmy upload? 🥺🥺🥺
Not OP, but there you go:

Last week I had to do a quick vpn setup after finally discovering that the Spanish CloudFlare ban from football corruption was blocking some niche game forums I tend to check out, this should work for you.
I basically created a second Firefox profile by cloning the first one, then added the first shitty free vpn extension I could find. Not for privacy, just to tell some webpages that no, I'm not from Spain.
If you are on the phone I'm sure there's some other random VPN app you can install and turn it on then you want to bypass Imgur, then turn off again.
Yeah they are bad VPN, they have ads and stuff, I don't care it's not for privacy.
I could use proton VPN as an app since I'm on my phone, but I already use rethink DNS as adblocking VPN so it's fiddly to turn it on and off just to see an image
Wish you best of luck. This is the way to make real friends. Put out there who you and what you are looking for. Well done.
Thank you. Means a lot.
hey sorry everyone in that other thread is being shitty. i wish you luck 💖 ^^
You have all that AND space to entertain, in a flat in Shinjuku?
yeah, its 3 floors.
You realise that that's... unusual, yes? Maybe even noteworthy enough to justify proof of some kind.
Im well known, why would I lie? check bobdahacker.com theres a link to myprofile here.
I don't know you. That's your page, sure, I don't see anything that suggests you have an entire palace in Shinjuku where the average living space is a shoe carton. You as the expert haxx0r of all people should know that it's a bad idea to just trust randos on the internet, especially when they make unusual claims.
what do you expect me to do dox myself?
No, I'm voicing concerns that, imho, should be normal in interactions such as this.
bro just meet me for drinks in a PUBLIC place then?? Like what do i have to gain to lie about my apartment size HOLY FUCK
What people have to gain by lying about stuff is attention. I'm not saying you're lying, I'm saying it's unusual and worthy of suspicion.
Please stop spamming my DMs, I don't want to discuss this in private. Just in case you (or anyone) don't know, wanting to take discussions private would be another thing that would be considered a red flag.
people can tell im not lying by getting to know me and meeting in public first. I dont have many friends here and I am very lonely.
what would i have to show publicly to prove I am not lying that would not doxx me?
You're conveniently in Tokyo, where the vast majority of people here are not, so meeting you in person is unfortunately out of the question for them. But luckily they can still DM you and chat with you, right?
I don't know what you'd have to show. It's pretty difficult to show evidence of your living circumstances, indeed. That's why I'm simply saying this is cause for concern, hoping that others might be on guard. Your reaction to this, as a seasoned internet security expert, shouldn't be to get worked up.
i just emailed you a video i took just for you of me showing my entire shinjuku apartment. hope this satisfies your needs and if you are in tokyo we could talk about hanging out sometime.
well im autistic and hate when people say I am a liar, I am not a liar like... and if you are not from tokyo why should i care about proving myself, i want friends in tokyo, i am so lonely here, i hate being alone, i wish i had friends.
Yeah. As I said, I know it's impossible to prove. I'm saying people shouldn't take everything on face value, especially if it sounds awesome sauce and so cool and you're a cool hacker and woaaah you live in Japan that's my dreaaaam please be my friend - because what you describe is at least unusual, to say the least.
where do i say i want people who dont live in japan? like yeah sure im down to make online friends but im explicitly LOOKING for friends in TOKYO, japan is so fucking lonely, espically being self employed, i hate being alone so much. Im a people person.
You say that people could just meet you in person if they don't believe you. For people to meet you in person they'd have to be in Japan. That's obviously unrealistic for pretty much everyone here so they're back to having to take your word for it.
If you want to find friends in Tokyo, you're not going to find them on a platform where Japanese people living in Tokyo can probably be counted on one hand. What you will find is people fawning over you.
I tried dating apps, spent hundereds of dollars on them found no one i thought maybe people living in tokyo would be on here, there are a lot of foreigners. For online friends I would show them around my house on call when I trust them. And why should it matter to people im friends with how big my house is, I want genuine friends who likeme for my personality.
It doesn't matter. You brought it up.
when did i say its a palace? its 3 floors, and 3 rooms.
That's a palace in Shinjuku.
You are not helping your case by trying to go off platform btw. That makes you more suspicious.
im new to lemmy and you cant upload photos here properly. holy fuck.
You seem really cool! Insane hangout spot,,, I hope you find someone in Tokyo asap :) !!
thank you, i posted recently on reddit and got a couple of dms, so hope I get new friends from that:)
