If the CDC director made a false statement about what a vaccine can achieve (i.e. milder or less symptoms), then that's a bad mistake, but it's not "a top expert claiming something is a CT but later it turns out it wasn'

How often does that happen though, i.e. "top experts" saying something is a ct but it turns out to be real? I can't think of any examples. Sure, pundits on 24h news are often wrong, but I wouldn't call them top experts,

I think for many, it starts out as posting slurs and extreme ideas as jokes to troll the "normies", until they suddenly really mean it. I remember when Reddit's "The Donald" sub became bigger and hit the front page

Nice, I'll go ahead and propose to my company that has everything on Azure and is a total MS whore to switch their 10000-somewhat employees over to Discord.

Ah, interesting. I suspected that I got a "save face" answer from them because they always err on the side of "Japan and Japanese people can't be criticised by Western people".

I can't help but feel amused and a bit annoyed when designers pretend their work is like a science. Yes color theory and light refraction are science-y topics, but let's face after all if the people who pay you say they want it in

In Japan, feudalism never really ended, at least not in the hearts and minds of people. They love their „upper caste“ regardless how much it hurts their lives.

In Japan, anything but political dynasties would be seen as „not normal“ by the voters. Politician is a family business like an Udon restaurant - the eldest son of a politician is expected to become a politician, too. And many of these dyna

Also the „Happy Science“ cult which has racial segregation and Japan ruling the Earth as its ulterior motives.

Very rare to meet someone who has a realistic view on modern Japan and calls these people what they really are. Nice to meet you! Have you by any chance ever heard of Ryōichi Sasakawa? The man who created the „Nippon Foundation“ which runs

It could be controversial because it's a Korean sect and Abe was a nationalist hardliner whose image was that he would make Japan "proud" again by refreezing relations with China and Korea. So if he had connections to a Korea

That and for a more general take on why Japan isn't the heaven-on-earth that weeaboos hold it up to be, I recommend "Japan - a reinterpretation" by Patrick Smith. It has a lot about freedom of the press and the Japanese media

Japanese people I know are adamant that Abe had no ties or did ever voice support for the Moon sect, ever. I am now wondering if Abe had kept it secret and the shooter somehow found out.

It's always refreshing to read about Japan from writers whose view on the country isn't dictated by either yellow fever (because in Japan they experienced a girl acknowledging them for the first time in their lives) or a childish

Your nickname says you're either weeaboo or Japanese (I guess the first). And it's 100% Japanese culture that creates these types of dangerous accidents. South Korea has them too, because they culturally so close (confucianism and

That's only one of the subcultures who can't get a date. I was rather talking about who do have a steady job, i.e. are "Salariman", but in nerdy careers, i.e. tech, accounting, back office, etc. and have given up, or nev

That's also what I'm using (WeatherPro). But sadly it's on the decline and seems to have been abandoned since the data supplier was acquired by another company. I only heard rumours though.

What data is Apple using in Central Europe? Because all weather apps only using data from US providers only are hilariously wrong.

True, but it's important to understand what type of men Japanese women are still interested in. The number of Japanese men who'd wear a Seiko TV watch (or show whatever modern day equivalent signifier of inceldom) has grown signif

I beg to differ. It's not ridiculous at all. The go-to retort to any kind of mild criticism for Japanese is people is to say "but country x or person y did the same, too!" I have never heard this in nearly the same frequency

James Bond has always been a phantasy for chavvy working class men. James Bond is basically a chav who solves his problems with violence, likes women and booze, but at the same time can cosplay being a suave, classy guy who rich people wi

This feels like discovering a time capsule which holds the early signs of why Japanese women aren't interested in Japanese men anymore.

I agree with you - I'm very aware of the dark side and would not recommend to anyone working in Japan. But even when the people suffer like you described, they do their work efficiently (exceptions apply) because there's some kind
