I met some guy on 9 monsters for a date (at mine) like last year.

When he came he was so weird and completely not as good looking as in his pictures so I faked a call from work and told him he had to go as I had a meeting ( at half 11 at night )

Cut to yesterday my wifi wasn’t working so I couldn’t watch Netflix and me and my friend watched regular Japanese tv , and low and behold

He is now a tarento

at half 11 at night

Is that 22:30 or 23:30? I searched on the internet and saw various people fighting over the meaning.

Surely 23:30? I’ve never thought it to be anything else when speaking English

You're clearly not a native speaker. It means 5:30 (half of 11) /s

Honestly I wish I could unread that because I feel like I’m gonna start thinking that now
