@MilesTeg He's literally winning this series for them. I wonder how the Panthers would do without him.

Posted in: 'Bumping men' are a uniquely Japanese class of criminals that are hard to deal with See in context

If the victim isn't looking where they're going, they deserve a decent reminder not to be stupid.

Posted in: What not to do in Japan: Polite habits that can seem rude See in context

Yeah, a lot of this is utter bunk. Japanese are just as guilty of doing several of these. Especially No.8.

They also need to address families and individuals who overbuy and stockpile. These types are just as bad as those who price gouge.

Hope this gains traction. Definitely ridiculous at this point.

Posted in: Some restaurants require that customers use their smartphones to read the QR code in order to see the menu. How do you feel about that? Would you rather see a printed menu? See in context

Can't stand it. Especially when the printed menu has different or more items than the digital one.

For television there are only two: Falk as Colombo and Brett as Holmes.

Willing to bet most leaders (the ones that matter anyway) hate Trump. He's a giant wuss.

Bury Musk and all his companies.

Posted in: Mark Carney, crisis-fighting central banker, to lead Canada through U.S. trade war See in context

@MilesTeg That's exactly how it was during the election. Harris a lawyer. A criminal prosecutor no doubt. Highly educated. And Trump... Well, Trump.

They voted for the criminal.

What everyone should be doing is boycotting this and the LA Games entirely.

Feel free to take your bases and leave. You've overstayed your welcome long ago.

Posted in: Trump grants one-month exemption for U.S. automakers from new tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada See in context

Well, you just re-adjust accordingly, nothing new, nothing monumentally changed, dumb and cowardly as well as being incompetent would be to allow our allies to further take advantage of the U.S.

It's fun to watch you try and rationalise every single stupid thing he does.

This rebuttal comment wins the internet the internet for the next four years.

Whatever tarrifs get imposed, I hope those countries reciprocate in turn.

Whether they're in touch with reality.

Good.

They should make clear, hard examples that ANY prosecution of people taking up "yami baito" will get the harshest, most lengthy sentence possible no matter the capacity of participation.

Posted in: Fistfights, anthem boos in stormy U.S.-Canada ice hockey clash See in context

Yeah, all the 2-ply Americans that are whinging because the fans booed their anthem, calling it disrespectful (Which it is in all honesty, but come on ...sports fans. What'd you expect?). But your Clown-in-Chief calling Canada the 51st state repeatedly isn't disrespectful?? Get some perspective, seriously.

As for all you Americans saying it's America's sport now... I guess baseball is Japan's sport then eh?

Hope he sinks the States so low it'll take decades for them to see daylight.

Posted in: Trump, Swift join Super Bowl party as Chiefs chase 'three-peat' See in context

Mahomes, Kelce, Swift, and the Chiefs are beyond tiresome. I hope Philly puts a good beating on them like they did Washington.

Posted in: Trump agrees to pause tariffs on Mexico, Canada after they pledge to boost border enforcement See in context

@JJE Care to point it out? I see none of what you're talking about.

For all of you saying the US doesn't need Canada, I suggest you look into it that a little more as you're completely wrong.

Posted in: Growing Muslim population in need of burial plots in Japan See in context

Umm, no.

In a country already with limited space, they'd be expecting too much.

Posted in: Japan preparing to use rice reserves amid soaring prices See in context

Japanese consumers need to learn to boycott chains, brands, industries that price gouge and hoard.

Well that's that. He apologized. All's forgiven... until the next theft and subsequent apology.

That's ok. I'm guessing 90% plus of the world view China negatively.

Posted in: North Korean leader says past diplomacy only confirmed U.S. hostility See in context

I think Trump should bring them to the table and try to understand where all the angst comes from and why they're so confrontational to the US and their surrounding neighbors. After that, give them a massive stimulus package so Kim and his family can go on living like royalty all the while the citizens starve to death and suffer. Reward their misbehaviour.

It's guys like this that make me wish that the Japanese penal system inmates meted out their own kind of justice behind bars like in some other countries.

Posted in: Ishiba criticized in Japan for 'bad manners' at APEC summit See in context

Needs to get the boot. Enough with this clown already. He's going for broke setting the bar so low in the LDP and that's a pretty low bar already.

Posted in: Ishiba misses APEC group photo session due to traffic jam See in context

Probably dozed off and wasn't able to leave earlier.
