Women are meant to have babies.

No surprise they feel less or no migraine while pregnant.

Nature leads the way, like it or not.

Life expectancy of women who had at least a child is higher than those who did not.

Japanese government should use those facts to promote childbearing ;)

A paltry sum for a pathetic crime.

Next time the toilet paper heist ?

Disposable diapers are the biggest expense. Here's what we did: we knew our babies' BM timing, in which case we'd spring for disposable; otherwise, we'd use cloth and just rinse them out in the sink. Cut diaper costs by 80%.

Chabbawanga A heartwarming story. The nursery school we send our kids to require we supply enough disposable diapers to last as long as needs be. The vast majority of parents do not have the time or energy required to time the bowel movements of their kids.

You would not have time or energy to take care of your own kids, if you did not have enough money to buy all needed diapers ?

I did for my first when we had a tight budget. I am no superman.

Otherwise, I am not the one who will say that Japan's birth and childcare policies are sensible, adapted to need and implemented in time. Lol

The police did not reveal whether the family members have admitted to the charges.

Why hide that ? Of course each among the three must have stated something.

Police just asking for confession only, and not the facts.

The head could have easily been staying in the girls bedroom for some time.

The father may have just bought tools because daughter made up a story. It is plausible.

And the mother, staying at home, there is no information so far that would tell she is an accomplice.

Why not reveal all clues obtained so far ???

Do police think there are additional people involved ? If so say it !

People here have no clue about psychology and/or biology, outside Japan is a paradox.

I gave a plausible (means possible for the ones who don't know...) example of case where a mother could have hatred for a child. Rape is traumatic if some did not know.

Here is an example of study (US but anyone can relate that to Japan) : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6357953/

And so some women can't or psyche doesn't accept being pregnant until too late or before water breaks, believe it or not. It is called pregnancy denial :

All this is objectively scientifically assessed.

So before judging, know what you are talking about when a life is at stake.

Never said or will ever say the outcome was satisfactory. It was so sad fot the poor baby.

One cannot be Judge and Party by principal in order to deliver an unbiased result.

Third-party is a concept totally foreign to Japan because you know if one loses faces, one has to erase oneself in such mind...

I know that perfectly because I have worked in second's world third party in Japan as technical, quality and risk manager for the industry, certification, building and verification fields...

In addition, the wa harmony shall not be disturbed, like if there was a Jedi force floating in Japan. On the contrary, it is full of Sith lords to be purged of. I mean Japan is no longer a medieval world in its judicial system, isn'it.. ?

Prayer for the victims and criminals or anyone involved in such crimes shall pay not a price but the price for their deeds.

And obtaining apologies and compensation make of you rather a prostitute than a victim, no ? Kitagawa was a criminal and shall be judged as so.

Imagine Epstein fiends saying "sorry" we thought you were liking it, we apologize and give you some money to shut up. Next !

Like many many medicine effects, dosage is very important. Minimum effective dose and listing side effects is something needing a lot of time to establish.

X-ray causes cancer. The solution is the cause sometimes.

And making money out of something routinely making you more money too.

The more is not necessarily the better, quite mofe than one thinks.

How can Jeffllee can get downvotes by stating such obvious so wrong everyday heist to most workers.

Down the slope Japan is going.

Yen will not recover by the way.

I feel hatred on the spot but wkthin seconfs one need to imagine a specific case for that to happen.

That woman may have been raped, not realized she was pregnant (I know some think it is impossible) and had no money to pay for abortion at the time. Then she may have expressed her anger on the baby representing all the pain she had accumulated after her ordeal.

Just one of many plausible scenario.

Understanding the root causes make you smart, not mean nor a murder lover.

By experience and after personal study, yes Japanese don't give life overall as much importance as Christians (and surely other cultural system) do. Killing your own family is seen as fate and an end of the same temper , hence same defaults in the blood line.

Sumo is semi-religious. Hardly no action can be personal.

To become rikishi is like becoming a kind of zealot.

Never ever expressing anger, show off or political views. True rikishi is humble and value Japan above all.

I went a few times to watch the Nagoya tournament.

Once I was with my wife and I told her Chiyonofuji (living legend of his time) was just a few meters above us commenting the matches, also in a standard box seating. Even she got excited.

He was sometimes coming and going as any normal person, without anyone harassing him. That everyone respect can only be provided by high education...

Sorry 50 miles (about 80km).

Don't tell the price of such cars !

Not for the poor.

Exact same feeling as OssanAmerica although never was interested in noisy muscle car. I never needed one to make my wife noisy ;)

Barbie must be fun but just a movie no one will remember.

Oppenheimer, I will remember, having watched it in IMAX.

My expectation were high. Movie was much more about feelings than showing life of R. Oppenheimer and discoveries and its consequences. Very far from sciences, in a movie often dreamlike were you don't see any geniuses, you get close to porn scenes (why on hell did they need to show the guy fully naked 2 or 3 times, and explicit showing of having sex, not for kids PG16), and last third about politics only in a useless frantic way. Not my taste at all after all, as an engineer and having read his biography and about project Manhattan, does not depict at all the real life of the guy : serious, keeping to his ideas, patriot.

 as the spacecraft pushed above 80 kilometers (50 miles) in altitude, the level marking the edge of space where the pull of gravity is minimal.

Only for the NASA and US military space starts at 50km. Foe the international community, it is the Kármán line at 100km.

Altitude and pull of gravity are related...but never gravity goes close minimal pull, as Newton law obliges.

Even at 100 km, if no speed, then gravity is close to about 9.5m/s2, meaning you weight then about 3.5% less than on the surface.

It is only because the fligh is parabolic that you get the feeling of absence of gravity.

Don't watch too many Hollywood movies !

After reading the article, that person seems everything outside insane.

The gallows waiting for him since he kileed several persons with clear intent to the point he asked his mother to finish him ?

It applies to any Japanese in fact, researhers are just the tip of the iceberg.

If you can work abroad in any developing country, your salary will be higher with additional perks.

Is 6,731,000 yen with bonus or without ?

Thanks for reply for anyone who knows.

Now the museum will have to crowfund its energy bills.

I thought energy in Japan will continue soaring.

It means crowfund level will have to soar too.

Some rich and poor people will give, until they stop and/or can't...

To me, this means the country of Japan is accelerating his way to bankruptcy.

It is not a temporary situation and could get worse if any incident on seas happens with neighbours.

acting as personal guarantors, conducting funerals, and handling belongings after death.

How on Earth is that even possible if not regulated, as it is like giving the steering wheel to a person without knowing if they can drive ?

That is exactly what is a solicitor is existing for.

I did not know scams could be official in Japan.

And yes, such article is then an ad to start your business in that field with minimum to no risk then unfortunately in Japan.

I must admit he has balls also in his brain.

92 year old and still leading the way !

My Gosh I wish I will be able to do the same even a 100th of what he did and I am already exactly half his age.

Wise choice Aiko.

Go and live more North then.

Higher rates for mortgages mean house prices to go down.

It will have mini collapse from time to time.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

No corpse or leftovers after all those years makes you think about kidnapping.

Why on Earth would you go with a person without asking your parents ?

It is rule number 1 in life : don't talk to strangers, don't take sweets, don't walk in a car, etc. without ever asking your parents if it is OK.

Everyone knows there will always be rapists of young girls, so why let do all those things to happen ? Because there is another layer of acceptance in Japan at this level of occurrence.

Inflation is not going to happen.

Tax level to raise.

And buying power is surely to decrease as yen will go down the hill on a long term trend.

Be prepared with a population going to lose 40 millions persons in about 30 years.

it is barbaric to let drugs come in your country too and destroy lives, both mentally and pysically, of so many.

Think first of the total chain reaction and you will find out that it is unfortunately surely worth it in order to save maximum innocent persons.

I am against it for crimes not involving deaths personally but it should be based on science estimate, not feelings.

Dura lex sed lex.

She should have better worn a miniskirt in Afghanistan as a on-line challenge to earn money...

Why would you hurt your kids in anyway ?

Going into divorce procedure with my Japanese wife, and showed her everything is possible.

If one is playing illegal then play illegal rules but never by hurting children please.
