Total disregard of speed limits, seat belt laws, and red lights is coming home to roost.

Posted in: Fujitsu deploys AI customer service solution for field trials at supermarket chain in Japan See in context

The appeal for this kind of future lies purely with the retailers, eager to be rid of human staff and all the baggage that they require. Customer service then disappears (hello DAISO), and the benefits go up to the board rooms and shareholders.

Meanwhile, their target demographics are the next generations who are kids now, who see this as normal.

Remember when petrol stations were staffed by skilled people who knew about car maintenance? Thing of the past. Just like customer service will one day be.

I’m amused as Trump will just fundraise another 50 million and take the lead over Biden in the next NY Times poll instead of being tied.

that’s it, bilk the rubes out of their money, throw it around, burn it, because it’s all about the millions.

@Blacklabel this 3rd indictment is the best thing to happen in your ridiculous clown politics since the Mango Mussolini was kicked to the kerb.

Posted in: Police officer drunk driving cases in Japan up over 2-fold for Jan-June See in context

The police are supposed to lead by example in communities. They certainly do here: nobody gives a toss about red traffic lights, let alone the amber ones; seat belts?! Phh! Public drunkenness and ‘public nuisance’ crimes…

Posted in: The United States would find it nearly impossible to respond promptly and effectively to Chinese aggression against Taiwan without being able to call on U.S. forces and its facilities in Japan. See in context

I don’t believe that the US could respond efficiently anyway, regardless of where they have troops based. For all their posturing, all their war worshipping movies, all their money spent on their military, they totally screwed up Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Can’t be trusted.

I think it was Churchill who said that you can always count on America to do the right thing, after they’ve tried everything else.

I just watched a compilation of movie trailers of soon to be released movies on YouTube. Most of them featured gun worship, gun violence, solving problems by gun/violence, massive amounts of gun related violence. All from a war-mongering country. Correlation? Believe it.

Let’s not forget that it was Nadeshiko’s win in 2011 that got Japan out of the doldrums after the disaster in Tohoku. Sawa san and that team saved Japan!

They still had to ride in economy while Blue Samurai men’s team rode in business class, even though they lost every game.

the blind delusions held by these rabid rightists is almost comical. That they openly embrace and support treacherous criminals and proudly announce their poisonous toxic bile, makes them a danger to society.

What you said here is just the kind of threatening rubbish that one-eyed criminal subscribed to. I guess you’d agree with me there, which makes you just like him. Congratulations.

Posted in: Japan faces uphill battle to ensure food security See in context

Policy makers around the globe are hampered, restrained or beholden to powerful lobby groups. Here, it’s the JA that controls what the govts do regarding agriculture. More own goals.

Posted in: Japan's child population falls for 42nd straight year to new record low See in context

Back in the Taishō and Shōwa periods, a lot of families had up to 10 children. Probably to up the odds of successions. But as life became easier, and especially recently since the end of WW2, those traditional roles of man = king, woman = servant have grown a bit thin. The fact that boys are still treated as kings here contributes to girls and women turning away from these man-children and foregoing their traditional roles. I don’t blame them tbh.

But none of the govt’s throwing money and words around will amount to anything. Their priority is pumping money into defence.

I agree with all the above comments about noise pollution, waste of public money, pointless, etc. But elections here seem to be better than the American model, where campaign finance rules mean that he (and it’s usually he) with the biggest pile of millions or even billions is the winner! That’s not democracy, that’s oligarchy.
