Posted in: Thinking of buying a new pair of jeans? Breaking down the cost over time might help you decide See in context

Sad reality is stores like uniqlo etc are basically just selling GARBAGE, their stuff ends up in the trash real quick most of the time.

Japan is great for denim goods, lots of brands selling top notch stuff with denim in 15-25oz that LAST, costly but over time are worth it. You can even by MIJ levis that are much better then regular levis etc which are actually not that great anymore.

Same applies to other non clothing items, its scary how much stuff we buy that quickly ends up in the trash, needs to be reversed for sure!

Sadly typical, women getting away with violence etc & the man is made a fool of.

If roles were reversed the guy would have been put in a cell, but since the woman is the perp the cops are interested in what led to the violence, the violence itself gets a pass........need some equality here!

 Few seem to know that the Japanese were ready to surrender but that they wanted to keep the emperor as their head. The US policy was unconditional surrender.

I am sick of these BS bits about Japan willing to surrender, their ""terms"" were beyond rediculous!

The US insisting on unconditional surrender was absolutely ON POINT!!! And needed to happen, was the BEST outcome for Japan clearly!! Japan having killed between 20-30million in the Far East & SE Asia was in ZERO position to dictate ANYTHING!!

Posted in: Nothing remote about short-term sex work See in context

 The women I knew gave up what they were doing once they got their A.) teaching degree, and B.) doctorate. They went on to lead respected, productive lives. They did not hurt anyone, and they bettered their lives. They seemed to be well adjusted, to me, as well as hard working and, of course, beautiful. There were no drugs or coercion involved, other than the impetus to better themselves.

I hope these ladies freely share their pasts with boyfriends, husbands etc, but that is sadly highly unlikely, they will most likely lie about & then live lives based on lies, to everyone around them, kids, spouses, families, and it gets ugly quickly when the truth comes out.

So anyone doing this kind of work, please be honest about it

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

I have been shaking my head for 30+years now watching Japan continually getting it horribly WRONG wrt allowing foreigners here to actually stay & set up a life, possibly get permanent residency etc.....and we continue to see insipid little "improvements"....sigh!

"The time when Japan dominated has ended," said one Japanese employee who works for an organization that assists Vietnamese people in working abroad. "At this rate, we will be left behind."

Japan's time as a leader was already very noticeably disappearing when I arrived here back in 1991 and has only gathered steam over time & will sadly continue unabated.

And as I predicted a few decades ago foreigners will be less & less inclined to consider Japan for so so many reasons, and it continues to get much worse for Japanese as well, its insane the decline I have witnessed here, it could be so MUCH better but now too much water has passed under the bridge in my opinion.

I DONT recommend young people to come to Japan unless they only stay say a max of 2years otherwise you will seriously jeopardize your furture potential......

They may have started off more middle of the road but both of these started pumping out too much left/woke BS pieces & are reaping what they have sewn, low quality, no balance of opinions.

We see the same now happening with Fox on the right, admittedly a bit different but basically a similar thing playing out.

Posted in: Japan has a peculiar history related to immigration policy. In the 1960s and 1970s, Japan succeeded with economic growth without new immigrants and became the first Asian country to achieve industrialization with a very conservative division of labor. See in context

Meanwhile the base of Japan's population pyramid continues to narrow, ensuring ever increasing DECREASES of population per year going forward.

There will come a time(maybe already here) when even if young families have 3-4children the population will still decrease, I dont see Japan having even a slight chance of turning this one around without immigration

This FIFA guy is a fool, a dishonest one at that!

Women sports needs more WOMEN to support their sports, most women dont care, many will complain that womens salaries in sport are but then ask if they watch said sport & you hear crickets......

Being in AUS & NZ clearly makes it a much harder sell to Europe/UK!

Posted in: The government is considering raising social insurance premiums to pay for measures to address the declining birthrate. What's your stance on that? See in context

Dumb just keeps getting dumber here sadly!

The govt proven beyond a shadow of any doubt it is utterly clueless wrt why the birth rate is sinking like a stone & will continue unabated in all likelyhood.

Meanwhile the population pyramid continues to narrow at its base, soon even if familes have 3-4 kids the decline will continue, I dont think Japan can escape what its become.

Posted in: China seethes as U.S. chip controls threaten tech ambitions See in context

This is what I call a START, its long overdue that the West needs to start seriously re-evaluating what it does wrt China. The West has created the monster that China has become, it should have been obvious about 30yrs ago that investing in China was NOT going to make a China that was a better, more open, more democratc, the West should have started to cut investments in the early 2000's.

We are all now paying the price & it could get much much higher at any point in time, BUT the monster that China has become MUST be faced.....will it be now or later, the later we wait the higher the price that WILL be paid, scary times likely await!

Posted in: Google fined $162 mil by Indian watchdog over market dominance See in context

Google isn’t so evil. Only to name a few services, they even give a big free virtual drive for free, as well as free resources for computing in the field of AI, like notebook interpreter Google Colab etc, also with bundled CPU or even GPU usage for bigger data projects, if wanted. Normal people never ever couldn’t afford such expensive resources with their no or only low personal budgets, if not generously provided by big players like Google.

You have got to be kidding google offers ""free"" stuff in order to MINE marketing data to sell etc. And keep the masses in their GRASP......google has become a massive problem & govts need to fine them more & BREAK up their companies, they have far far too much power because of all the ""free"" stuff they offer

google needs to be taken down more than a few pegs

Yep its getting poor reviews.

If amazon is not allowing comments(not doubting you, I dont watch amazon) then shame on them!!!

Its getting beyond pathetic how so so many platforms on the net now so openly censor & shutdown feedback they disagree with, the big platforms clearly need to FORCED to end they censoring self serving ways, people need to be able to DEAL with views different than their own & YES even views that offend you!

Folks the ldp has been accepting brown envelopes from all kinds of people, businesses since 1945 NON-STOP! This article is about the insanely corrupt olympics, but just look, it took abe being assassinated for the "J-Press" to look into this corrupt church and its political connections, just one of 1000s of instances of bribes & kick backs etc. This IS JAPANESE CULTURE, just is.....sadly

Posted in: Do you consider the A-bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to be war crimes? See in context

They were NOT war crimes period.

Japan was given PLENTY of opportunities to surrender UNCONDITIONALLY, they REFUSED! Japan was in NO position to BARGAIN period!

Many political & military leaders STILL wanted to fight after Hiroshima for crying pout loud!! And Hiroshima was a LEGITIMATE military target, it was not just a civilian population!

The bombing & the results are entirely on the politicians & military in Japan at the time, end for story.

There are millions of people alive today in Japan & overseas that would NEVER have been born if the war continued & it WOULD HAVE!

About 3-4million Japanese(civilian & military) lost their lives due to their fanatical crazy leaders, they died in vain! Considering Japan killed between 20-30million in the Far East & SE Asia, Japan's loses were relatively low. Considering what Japan did in the 1930-40s they got off relatively easy & the allies, primarily the Yanks helped Japan re-build into the country we all now know & love!

BG is clearly GUILTY & should likely serve time in russia, perhaps 3-5yrs based on similar cases, end of story really, she needs to be ACCOUNTABLE for her actions!

She is actually very LUCKY that the US might trade a russian murderer for her release......., to be sure russia sentencing her to 9yrs is to get the US to do the swap, again she is actually VERY LUCKY!!!

Posted in: Japan nuclear regulator OKs details for Fukushima plant water release See in context

As I have said since 2011, this water WILL end up in the ocean, will be done by man or by mother nature or both, you CANT stop mother nature & the water cycle, in fact groundwater has been releasing "Fukushima Water" into the ocean since the tsunami hit & will continue to release for 1000s of years.

Better to control releases that to wait for mother nature to speed up the process!!

Posted in: Depopulation a surefire formula for national ruin See in context

> K3POJuly 18  06:53 pm JST

At its highest population of 127m, Japan was over populated. The decline is much needed.

Yes & no, you need to look at HOW the population is declining, its in two areas, the elderly & newborns, the later is REALLY going to bite hard over time, you need to look at the population pyramid, for Japan its VERY narrow at the bottom & getting narrower over time, with ZERO immigration those numbers rise over time & NEVER get wider, unless fixed Japan will keep decreasing & even if average birthrate were to increase per family the population overall will continue to decrease, it aint looking good long term for Japan

Posted in: Court rules in favor of French man's wife over child custody rights See in context

Women do not lie about DV. Deny, attack, reverse the victim and offender, is classic behavior. Domestic violence is a gendered issue - men hit women, men kill women, men sometime annihilate their families. When this happens, and the woman or the child is hurt badly or worse, you see commentators asking why didn't she leave, and blaming her for her own injury/death and that of her child. Whichever way, women cannot win. I am so very glad this woman won her freedom and custody of her children.

Clearly you dont know what routinely happens to men in family courts worldwide
