Posted in: 27% of Japan's nursing homes face bankruptcy due to price hikes: survey See in context

Elderly care facilities should be fully funded by the gov't. If gov'ts have enough money for war and the support of such from other countries then they have enough to take care of it's people who require aid now.

Posted in: Hollywood braced for 'double strike' as actors' deadline looms See in context

Netflix and Disney need to understand that without writers AND actors, their film businesses are a burning hole in the pocket. Everyone wants to consume but no one wants to pay a fair price

Posted in: Critics of Tokyo redevelopment plan accuse city government of ignoring residents' wishes See in context

Tokyo is no stranger to gov't corruption, it's really sad how short sighted they can be. good on these people for pushing back against it

Posted in: Japanese A-bomb victim's paper cranes eyed for UNESCO heritage list See in context

ya'll are children lol.

we can recognize atrocities of war without it becoming a contest of who is the worst offender. The atomic bombs were abhorrent AND so were Imperial Japan's actions against other countries. Both can be true simultaneously.

what a psychopath. it's sad that likely nothing of significance will be done about his murderous behaviour.

Posted in: Japan faces headwinds in drawing foreign workers despite visa change See in context

and no mention of the rampant abuse and extreme under pay of foreign workers, surely that has no bearing on whether people want to work in this country...

oh but let's make a special new visa for rich foreigners who want to come here. nice classism Japan

Posted in: Studio Ghibli says no to trailers and commercials for Hayao Miyazaki’s new anime movie See in context

I appreciate this. I think trailers and promotional materials often give too much of the film away before even watching it.

Posted in: Wearable binoculars gifted to G7 spouses by Kishida's wife See in context

gifted only to spouses? is this so they can look on from the sidelines while their partners have meetings and shake hands? lol

Posted in: Public safety chief kept eating at restaurant despite Kishida attack news See in context

I don't understand the issue. He was having lunch and there was news of an attack. I'm sure his phone was with him so he could be contacted. Let the dude finish eating

Posted in: Students mask up at graduation ceremonies despite PM saying they don’t have to See in context

Well it could also be that these allergies are really bad right now. So, who cares? If the gov't would stop the tree monoculture we would likely be wearing fewer masks as well.

Posted in: Kishida says ban on same-sex marriage not discrimination See in context

I dunno but I'm pretty sure banning couples from marrying based on their choice of partner is LITERALLY discrimination. there's some intense mental gymnastics going on here. what a buffoon

Posted in: Local coding school inspires a new generation of young coders See in context

This is a wonderful initiative! Love to see young people engaging with shaping tech and learning how it works, not just consuming it.

Posted in: U.S. envoy confident Japan will ban LGBTQ discrimination See in context

yeah those marriage certificates are an absolute sham, they are utterly meaningless. When they real law comes to pass, allowing marriage for whomever then things will begin to change.

Posted in: Kishida pledges to boost child-rearing budget to 4% of GDP See in context

They’re never gonna get it are they… smdh while this is helpful it does not address WHY people aren’t having kids. This is a much bigger issue with companies, work culture and low wages.

what does further understanding even mean? what a useless gesture. get on with the actual changes!

Posted in: Diabetic man dies in police custody after not eating for 3 days or being given medication See in context

It sounds like another case of "I was just doing what I was told" or following the rule book. absolute bs. How about having compassion and more than 2 brain cells, let's try that first

Posted in: Australia blames Russian hackers for medical data theft See in context

Hackers are supposed to be for the people not against. Take down the corporations, not expose the vulnerable and marginalized.

Posted in: 5-year prison sentence upheld for mother who starved son under friend's influence See in context

She was under mind control? She truly had no motherly instincts then if she was more concerned with punishment and control than love and protection. Her remaining children would likely be better with a more stable person. So sad

Posted in: World Cup fans could bring political tensions to quiet Qatar See in context

"Qatar is a devoutly apolitical place, with speech and assembly heavily restricted and a large population of foreign workers who could lose their livelihoods if they cause a stir."

"Foreign workers are barred from forming unions and have no political rights. At least 60 workers were arrested in August for staging a protest over unpaid wages"

"Qatar has already faced criticism in public forums over its criminalization of homosexuality"

Really sounds like a choice place to hold an international sports event. love how these sporting bodies (FIFA, IOC) just ignore blatant human rights violations to line their pockets s/

Posted in: Shibuya New Year’s Eve countdown event canceled for 3rd straight year See in context

will it be the same for Halloween this year? I'm fine with both events being cancelled. personally I can't see the enjoyment in gathering with 1000s of people but the issue is spreading infection.
