Posted in: 31-year-old woman arrested over attempted murder of 2-year-old daughter See in context

This is what overseas men are discussing on social media about Japanese women in general and to avoid dating in Japan - Japanese women do not talk about their problems, let it boil inside then burst out like a volcano into something crazy like this.

She could have easily talk to her husband or simply left the situation altogether and start over - but she choose to let it fester inside

Getting pregnant at 36 years old with no structure in place says a lot about this woman and her lifestyle choices

The value of a Rolex watch is the uncomparable movement of the second hand and the automatic winding mechanics behind it - had you seen it in motion you would know the difference between a Rolex and any othe brand of watch

Some animal activists came up with the false narrative that serial killers start with cats -there is little to no evidence of this, the majority of serial killers start with people

There are smart monitoring devices that can check room temperatures remotely and remotely check elderly vitals for sudden changes. Sounds like the J-caretaker industry is not modernized as other nations.

Thanks for your story Khuniri - I met a Japanese lady a long time ago and observed she also drink a lot, talk abusive, and had a history of dating low-quality Japanese men and ran for the exit - had I pursued that woman, I would be sharing your story as well

So in 2023, did they get the fingerprints off these known people or their bodies or Chinese records? Sounds like this wasn't as thorough of an investigation as it could have been

This is more than enough money to take care of America homeless problems but the USA rather spend that money on a scenario they know from their own models they cannot win against China

This is the part the "I want a J-wife" foreign guys completely miss and find out the hard way

Posted in: 3 men arrested for pushing elderly woman off bicycle and stealing her wallet See in context

Weebers going to weeb - it's interesting to see all of the storefront shutters throughout Japan to prevent break-ins and security cameras everywhere to hear someone talk about Japan is 'safe' when 78-year old women are targeted and pushed off a bike to steal a wallet - as if that didn't happen

This sound similar to an event in America with Gabby Petito murder where the killer parents involved themselves in covering up their child actions

Posted in: Couple in their 80s, son in his 50s found dead in apparent murder-suicide See in context

This is not a "son" this is a 50-year-old man who had the burden of taking care of two 80-year-olds that in most Western societies would have employee benefits that care of his senior parents while he worked.

It sounds like Japan offer no benefits for their workers for this kind of elder care

All the instant drug testing kits and they say it is a "white substance"?

I bet they can find out what that "white substance" is within 15 minutes at Narita

" always wanted a way to prove himself to a society he felt looked down on him"

This one line explains Japan's past, current, and future based on how they treat their citizens and why the overall situation is in decline.

People need to know they mean something to produce value to the collective.

Not a hard answer to why people keep so much cash in their house..

If Japan has negative interest rates - that means people are going to hoard their cash instead of putting it in the bank

This must be the same one on the FNN video where they tackled him to the ground.

To the previous posters - there is an episode on Black Mirror on Netflix that probably inspired this cybercrime ring

The depressed yen is the number #1 reason - can make more money in USD as a remote worker for an American-based enterprise from anywhere in the world.

Digital Nomads and remote workers are not going to choose Tokyo over Bali sunsets
