More importantly,why is Saber sitting like that?

She's not even japanese.

Meh. More or less, just depends on the person

Still better than this

Go back to your own country with that fucking Arcueid stupid Saber.

>>9989322
arthur was a weeaboo

>>9989329
Much, much better. I've always sat like the OP; I thought it was a common thing even outside of Japan.

>>9989353
It is, everyone in my country sit like this.
I'm also sitting like this right now.

I've always sat like that. Are you sure that's only restricted to Japan, OP?

Jeez, I sat like this for about an hour straight once. It was fine at the time, but my foot underneath my leg hurt like HELL when I stood up.

>>9989364
I don't know what's so special about this either.

I think people sit cross legged pretty much everywhere? It's even called agura, or "barbarian/foreign sitting" in Japan. It's very comfortable, that's how I always sit on the floor.

Now seiza, that just feels bad and destroys one's knees.

>>9989371
Yeah, people do it here in the States, too. I remember when I was a kid in school they told us to sit "Indian style."

They probably don't call it that anymore.

>>9989371
There's a reason it's customary to only sit like that for as long as the host makes you.

All the 3rd and 2nd worlders sit like that. Only us Europeans use chairs.

Are you talking about the exact same pose as in the OP, OP? There is the one where you have to stretch your legs a bit less but the legs are then below you, it is easier but starts to hurt as hell after a while. I sit 80% of the time like in the OP. It is the only way I can stretch a lot, I can almost tilt 90° frontward. Otherwise I cannot even touch my feet while standing.

>>9989386
It's a common sitting style in Asia, not just 3rd or 2nd worlders.

>>9989378
I've always heard it referred to as "criss cross (apple sauce)".

It's pretty much the best way to sit on the floor if you're ever in a situation where you have to.

It's actually very comfortable. I sometimes sit in chairs like that, too.

What about this kind of sitting?
I've never saw someone from my country sitting like that.
The few times I tried to sit like this I had the impression of breaking my legs.

That's how I always sit anyway - honestly I sit in my chair like that most of the time as well.

>>9989419
I think only girls can do it.

>>9989419
Only cute, little girls can sit like that.

>>9989309
I don't understand. She is just sitting cross legged? I always sit like this, except my legs are so bendy I sit with both legs flat on the ground, its the most comfortable way.

>>9989426
>>9989428
Are you implying i'm not a cute little girl?

>>9989419
That's a feminine sitting style, commonly called yokozuwari in Japan. Southeast Asian has that style too.

>>9989431
Yes.

I'm sitting in my chair with all of my limbs packed into the seat. It's comfortable.

I-is this what they call ``seating position otaku''?

>>9989403
But Asia is 2nd and 3rd world.

Not every house in Japan is Japanese styled

>>9989386

>All the 3rd world and 2nd worlders sitlike that.

Fun fact, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Mexico, and EVERYTHING in South America except that one french territory, is third world countries.

Iran, the Philippines, Thailand, Angola, and mizambique, are all first world countries.

>>9989426
>>9989428
Wtf man? I always sat like that when I was small.

>>9989448
Japan was a capitalist power. It is first world. Other than that though, you're mostly right.

>>9989456
>>9989448
Fun fact, there are no more 3rd, 2nd or 1st world countries, we aren't in Cold War anymore

>>9989432
thanks

>>9989456

Sweden isn't a third-world country. I don't really care what your dumb NATO-fueled definitions of 'first world', 'second-world' and 'third-world' are. Colloquially, a highly developed country is first-world and a lowly developed country is third-world. We're using the colloquial definition.

Who the fuck sits on the floor? Stop it guys.

>>9989469
Put some cream on those hemorrhoids, Sven-Erik.

>>9989483
You mean Karl Ulfsson, lgbt activist.

>>9989483
>>9989488
As a Finnish person I am very happy Swedens reputation has been reduced to gays, homosexuals and privileges.

>>9989462
>>9989469

When people refer to it though, it (should) be them referring to a country's alignment in the cold war.

By the way, Sweden IS a third world country it's not like it's a insult Henrik. If anything it's a sign that your country isn't stupid by not getting involved with the US or Soviet Union's bullshit.

>>9989431
you can't do it if you are a fat, chubby, obese little girl either.

>>9989498
:---DDD

>>9989469
Calm down, Åke Mohammed. It is cold war terminology, not some classification system of a developed country.

>>9989503
meh, that's better than being a gay.

>>9989498
Fuck off, mongol untermensch.

>>9989530
Stay angry gaybag. You have never even won a war.

Why is /jp/ changing the topic of the threads so easily recently?
Fuck off, it's being worse than /a/

>>9989538
How would you know? Do you go there a lot?

>>9989498
As a Swedish person i cri

>>9989538
The topics of shit threads change easily.

>>9989549
I used to

>>9989549
/a/ has been mixing with /pc/ and /pol/ recently.

>>9989538
It's going to happen to every board eventually. We'll have nowhere to hide when that time comes.

>>9989419
That's a pretty damn good fapping position, at least if you're not fat.

>>9989419
I've never seen anyone besides my sister sit like that, but she's knock-kneed so her knees/hips are kind of messed up.

so random XDDDD

That's how we had to sit during Primary school, in Canada.

>>9989329
We also did this.

>>9989419
I used to sit like that as a kid. My parents told me to stop it and yelled at me whenever I did it again.

>>9989456
>>9989456
>Firripins
>first world

1st world = America and its allies
2nd world = COMMUNISTS
3rd world = shitholes

>>9993189
Correction,

1st world: JAPAN
2nd world: Communists
3rd word: Americans, it's allies and everything else

>>9993110
you're being a hypocrite.


______MADE YOU LOOK LOSER______

>>9993195
>3rd world
>america

Fuckin' filtered

>>9993149
I hated sitting like OP's image, but whenever we had assemblies I would sit like >>9989329 and then after I wouldn't be able to stand up. It was fun.

>>9989399
Enjoying the south of U S of A mate?

>>9993204
You blimey 'merrifat?

>>9993204
How's that healthcare working out, anon?

>>9993286
ur fukin lame for being racist

no bullying on /jp/

（＞д＜）

>>9993303
Available for purchase like always. If it were 3rd world, you would have to fly to another country for healthcare.

>>9989309
I always sit like that. Always. It's comfortable as fuck, but then again, I have really flexible legs.

>>9993306
I don't know what you're saying because I filtered you a long time ago but it's probably shitposting as usual. Please leave.

>>9993314
Do 'merrifats seriously believe this? If healthcare must be purchased you're living in 3rd world.

When I was in kindergarten my teacher made us sit like that all the time and called it "criss cross applesauce". I just think it's comfortable. I even use that position in my chair if I'm alone, which is always.

When I was in high school I discovered some people are so weak and/or fat they can't stand up from this position without the aid of their hands. It gave me a sense of superiority, for some reason.

>>9993314
This might come as a shock to you, but we're not in the 1900s anymore.

>>9993319
If you live in a 3rd world nation, yet still have access to healthcare, it's probably from an international volunteer organization like that's giving it for free.

The fact you have to pay for it proves that we are a 1st world nation.

>>9993319
why the fuck should healthcare be free

should food and clothing be free too

>>9993319
They really do. It's insanity. Speaking as an American, I have to deal with being surrounded by people who are proud of having the second-worst healthcare after Mexico.

>>9993349
Why do you hate freedom so much, traitor?

>>9993356
Because patriot act.

Americans don't deserve to use the word freedom.

Healthcare isnt free for a reason

>>9989503
>>9989498

>>9993365
It is for me. Thank god for disability benefits.

I'm actually sitting like that right now.

then again, my back's against a wall.

There's no free healthcare
You pay for it with taxes

>>9993373
>taxes
Why would anyone pay taxes when you can easily avoid them with loopholes?

>>9993331
yes

>>9993373
In Israel we use the money the goyim sends us.

I'm so fat that I can't sit comfortably in the floor other than lying with my legs extended.

>>9993394

>>9993373
Fun fact: Health Care costs aren't the same worldwide.

>>9993331
Where the HELL do you think you are? Everyone here thinks EVERYTHING should be free.

>>9993415
They're still not free, it just always boggles me that people say their health-care is free

>>9993399
Not everyone is clever enough to do that,
I don't even know how you would avoid taxes on things such as income, unless you have an own business. And you still can't claim 100% of all taxes there

There's also sales tax, how would you avoid that?

Maybe you're informed enough to do so but most people aren't and they all pay their taxes.

My point is health-care is not free

>>9993452
It's better to pay 30% taxes and have the majority of things done by a capable government than to pay less and have an incapable government. 'murrika isn't good place rebulitard.

>>9993468
I'm neither American nor did I say that their health-care system is good
And I agree with your point
It seems you have trouble comprehending what you read

I got in a fight and my jaw got messed up so I went tot he ER. All they did was have me sit on a bed for 30 minutes then a guy came in and looked at me, then another guy took me away to get a scan in a machine that looked to be 20 years old.

Fast forward a few months and I get a bill in the mail for $5000. I just can't see how what little care I got translates to a bill that makes up more money than I've ever held in my hand. America really is a shithole when it comes to stuff like this.

Of course I have no intentions of ever paying them although I might have if they sent a reasonable invoice.

>>9993479
If you don't have insurance, tell them. Tell them you can't pay that much out of pocket, you'll probably get it reduced. They try to rip off insurance companies because they're obligated to pay.
Of course you'll still be paying too much but it shouldn't be so ridiculous.
Can't hurt to try

>>9993479
Except for vaccinations when I was a kid, I've never even been to a doctor in my life. I've had this lump near my navel since I was in high school, but I don't have any money, so I just ignore it. That and I don't even know the process. There's no doctor in my town. Would I go to a hospital in the city and... ask for someone to look at it? Fuck if I know. Have no way to get there, anyway.

Never been to a dentist, either, but I brush every day so hopefully that helps me. One of my teeth in the back is broken, though. I just ignore it. It's so far back no one can see it, at least.

>>9993493
How much? They asked if I had insurance when I was there and I told them no.

To be frank I wouldn't be willing to pay anything over a few hundred bucks, I don't have the cash to be buying some overpaid nurse's kid a car

>>9993479
>I got in a fight
Jew don't belong here.
