Jay...fatties have needs too !

Sure Mick, fatties have needs - one of them being the need to not ignore basic biology and believe they're irresistible while they waddle around in stained sweatpants.

So, you think the wives all keep looking gorgeous and wanting sex but they are turned off because the men are out of shape? The guys I know would beg to differ. Hormones factor into a lot of what goes on on both sides of the equation but way more strongly on the woman's side.

Fair point - hormones can play a role, especially for women, and it's not completely about looks. But we have to be real: attraction isn't a one-way street. If someone has let themself go, barely engages with his partner outside of household logistics, and puts in zero effort to be attractive, is it any surprise the other half is not interested?

Speaking from experience, a lot of these blokes complaining about being sexless sit around looking like a deflated beanbag. Effort, self-care and self-respect go a long way.

Posted in: Woman diagnosed with stage-4 cancer at 26 sends hopeful message See in context

Now THIS is a powerful and inspiring story. The resilience and determination from Miyabi to live life on her terms despite the challenges is truly remarkable.

And a shout-out to her husband. He could have easily put this entire situation in the "Too Hard" box and legged it, but proposing on the spot, standing by her side from day one, and proving what true love and commitment really means is an incredible level of selfless devotion. THAT is something to be celebrated.

Wishing her continued strength, positivity, community support, and even stronger refusal to let cancer define her life.

Posted in: Why so many marriages in Japan are sexless – and what you can do about it See in context

This will probably be one of the most downvoted posts I've ever written, but luckily this isn't a popularity contest - it's about saying what needs to be said. 

One reason so many men (foreign included) complain about their sexless marriages in Japan is that they've completely let themselves go. The majority blokes I hear whining about their Japanese wives not wanting intimacy, are fat, out of shape, and generally unappealing. If you rarely or ever sleep with your wife/significant other and fit into this category, be completely honest with yourself: if you were a woman, would you want to sleep with you?

The unpopular but true fact of the matter is attraction is about maintaining physical and emotional desirability. Any bloke blaming their wives should hit the gym, eat better, and get your act together around the house. Confidence, physical presence, and effort go a long way in maintaining attraction, but too many blokes think marriage means they can just stop trying. Do better fellas!

Another frothy, irrelevant rant.

Do you think Lula is coming to Japan to teach those things Japan? Or even to learn?

Nice try, keyboard revolutionary. Lula couldn't teach Japan a damn thing except how to wreck an economy, and if he is coming here to learn, he better take notes - because Japan actually functions, unlike the corrupt socialist mess he governs.

Ah yes, Japan - one of the safest and economically stable nations on Earth - must be dying to learn from Lula, the radical leftist mastermind who has returned Brazil to a crime-ridden, inflation-stricken mess. Maybe he'll share tips on how to tank an economy, empower criminals, and sell out national sovereignty to the Chinese COMMUNIST Party - all while pretending it's for the "people!"

Yeah Japan should take notes alright… on exactly what not to do.

Posted in: Nutrition advice is rife with misinformation See in context

Remember Thalidomide? That was scientifically "validated" and judged OK for general use. There followed babies lacking arms.

Yep, absolutely. Thalidomide was a prime example of the pharmaceutical establishment assuring the public something was "safe and effective" (where have we heard that before?), right up until thousands of babies were born with DEVASTATING birth defects. It's a chilling reminder that blind trust in so-called "validated science", without scrutiny or accountability, can often have catastrophic consequences.

Posted in: Nutrition advice is rife with misinformation See in context

 your mistake is called the naturalistic fallacy, which consist on pretending that if something is natural it is more likely to be beneficial when that is not true at all

Wrong yet again, because your mistake is called the pharmaceutical fallacy - the idea that if something is patented, expensive, and "FDA-approved", it must be superior, despite the fact that many blockbuster drugs are rushed to market, later recalled, or come with a laundry list of side effects worse than the condition they're treating. You're also pretending the pharmaceutical conglomerates' testing process is some sacred, incorruptible system - when PROFIT is involved, manipulation of studies, selective reporting, and aggressive suppression of competing alternatives are all well-documented tactics.

So no, blindly dismissing natural remedies because some ancient treatments were misguided isn't an argument - it's just your excuse to ignore anything that threatens the pharmaceutical MONOPOLY.

Posted in: Nutrition advice is rife with misinformation See in context

This makes no sense, you understand that supplements are controlled also by pharmaceutical companies, right? so what kind of propaganda would it be when it heavily criticizes those supplements? even very basic understanding clearly makes this nonsensical.

Unfortunately completely wrong yet again, as you continue to conveniently ignore the fact that pharmaceutical giants only push supplements when they can patent, overprice, and monopolize them. 

Meanwhile, they smear unpatentable NATURAL remedies as "unproven" or "dangerous" despite centuries of successful use. 

But of course, you haven't actually provided evidence that these hit pieces are unbiased - you just assume it, because thinking any deeper might force you to question the industry that profits off keeping people sick.

Sadly, your argument simply boils down to "Trust the corporations!"

Posted in: Nutrition advice is rife with misinformation See in context

Misinformation is rampant in the realm of health and nutrition. Findings from nutrition research is rarely clear-cut because diet is just one of many behaviors and lifestyle factors affecting health, but the simplicity of using food and supplements as a cure-all is especially seductive.

Yet another thinly-veiled propaganda piece straight from the pharmaceutical conglomerate playbook - because God forbid people realize that real food, exercise, and proper lifestyle choices are far more effective than whatever overpriced pill or synthetic supplement they're pushing this week.

Yes, as they try YET AGAIN to convince us that health is so complicated that we should just hand over our wallets and trust the "experts" (as they rake in billions), they conveniently skip over the fact that PREVENTION through proper diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices has always been the real key to long-term health. But of course, they can't profit off people making SMART CHOICES, so they downplay the effectiveness of natural prevention while pushing expensive treatments that keep you just sick enough to need more.

It's absolutely disgusting how they dismiss food and supplements as "seductive," when their entire industry is built on seducing people into lifelong dependency on drugs.

Posted in: Devoted nap-takers explain the benefits of sleeping on the job See in context

Mostly because it is healthy and bring benefits, and that your personal opinion about it has absolutely no relevance on what others believe about it.

Lots of things you may be doing could be described negatively by many people, would that make you stop? If not, that is your answer.

Completely false according to every single sleep expert/institution in the entire world. You can try to frame naps as some undeniable life hack if you like, but in reality, functioning adults who get proper sleep at night don't need to pass out like overgrown toddlers halfway through the day. If naps are so revolutionary, why is the most successful demographic in the world those who actually stay awake, get things done and properly recuperate at night?

Ah, I see - TG must be Xena: Warrior Princess fan. Still bitter that Herc didn't have enough leather-clad Amazon battles for your taste? Go ahead and nominate me for that Oscar, but given Hollywood’s standards these days, I'd probably lose to a three-hour snooze-fest about a non-binary barista finding themselves!

Kevin Sorbo

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys was the pinnacle of television and did more for entertainment than any w-o-k-e celebrity whining on Twitter or at an awards ceremony in Spain ever will. At least Sorbo actually played a hero instead of just pretending to be one in real life for clout.

Er, Hollywood is one of the biggest cultural exports the USA has. Whether you like what they produce or not, and for the most part I don't care for their schlocky, naive, morality plays, the very name "Hollywood" is practically a byword for "the movie industry". 

Alright dude, by your standard, junk mail and reality TV are also cultural treasures I suppose? Sure, Hollywood is a noteable export, but so is fast food, and nobody's pretending a McDonald’s franchise in every country makes it the pinnacle of human achievement.

Sorry, Hollywood's "cultural influence" mostly involves churning out reboots, shoving political lectures into every script, and wondering why their audience is shrinking massively.

Posted in: Japanese woman found dead in Hungary had sought embassy help over DV See in context

After divorcing in 2023, the woman had been unable to return to Japan with their two children as her ex-husband had taken their passports, according to the lawyer and supporters.

This is an absolute tragedy, but fingers MUST be pointed at Japan's infamous, long-standing refusal to sign up to the Hague Convention for child abduction, as it once again comes back to haunt everyone involved - trapping children in the middle of international custody battles and, in this case, escalating an already volatile situation to a horrific conclusion.

While the husband is entirely to blame for this horrible murder, Japan's archaic family law system, which treats parental abduction as a right rather than a crime, left BOTH parents in a legal limbo that likely fueled this disaster. And of course, the authorities hesitated to act - because when a country refuses to acknowledge international custody norms, it leaves everyone, especially the children, caught in an impossible, dangerous mess.

RIP to the woman lost and thoughts and prayers to the children who know have neither a mother nor a father for the foreseeable future.

Why glorify a habit of oversized toddlers who never outgrew nap time in kindergarten?

People need to realize that if you sleep like a healthy, functional adult - a full 7.5-9 hours a night - instead of doom-scrolling until 3 AM - you wouldn't need to pass out at your desk like an overtired infant.

No, an afternoon siesta is not some kind of revolutionary life hack, it's a CLEAR you need to get your health and your life together.

Here we go, another washed-up Hollywood dork mistaking his own irrelevant opinions for something the world actually cares about. Yep, looks like there are still celebrities out there convinced the world is holding its breath for their deeply profound political takes.

NEWSFLASH for you, Hollywood: no one is listening, and no one cares.

Maybe instead of lecturing Americans about politics trying to stay relevant with tired leftist talking points, Gere should focus on actually doing something useful - like continuing his work to FREE TIBET... assuming he even remembers that was his cause... or did that go out of style along with his career?

Posted in: Trump's 'God squad' holds increasing sway at White House See in context

It was christians that felt they could enslave and colonize and yes were responsible for billions of deaths. Don't see any of the other religions doing this.

Ah yes, the history lecture from a fan of the Church of You-Know-Who, who has somehow missed the entirety of world history. Ever heard of the Islamic conquests, the Mongol invasions, or the brutal expansion of countless empires long before Europeans set sail?

Slavery? Yeah, practiced by every major civilization, including the ones CHRISTIANS abolished it in. As for "billions of deaths," do you need a calculator, or are you just throwing out big numbers because maths is hard?

Meanwhile, atheistic regimes in just the 20th century - Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot - managed to rack up over 100 million deaths on their own. But sure, keep pretending Christians are history's greatest villains while enjoying the moral framework it created!

Posted in: Trump's 'God squad' holds increasing sway at White House See in context

Really? Medieval christianity founded human rights, charity, and freedom? Doesn't seem very likely considering the billions dead as a result. You confuse enlightenment thinkers doing the best they could while under the christian yoke.

LOL seriously? "Christianity is responsible for billions of deaths"?! - what a joke. Hilariously brought to you by the same people who conveniently ignore the mass slaughter under atheistic Communist regimes just in the last century.

Referring to the Crusades? FACT: A necessary response to centuries of Islamic invasions that would have otherwise wiped Christianity off the map and erased from history.

And sorry, that "Enlightenment" you are referring to was built on a foundation laid by medieval Christian scholars who preserved knowledge, developed legal systems, and created the very universities that later produced those thinkers.

Without Christianity, that "progress" wouldn't even exist - you'd be sitting in a dirt hut, wondering why the concept of human rights never magically appeared out of thin air.

Posted in: Trump's 'God squad' holds increasing sway at White House See in context

Here we go, yet another "article" (hit piece) absolutely dripping with anti-Christian, anti-conservative bias - because God forbid (pun intended) that a leader actually acknowledges faith as a core American value, which they rightly should. The media loves to sneer at Christian convictions, yet they throw rainbow confetti to celebrate every so-called "historic" moment when a leftist politician panders to anything.

Could you imagine if Kamala Harris had won? She'd open her own office dedicated to "progressive religious figures" who preach climate change and gender ideology as gospel!

The problem for the Uber "Liberals/Progressives" is Christian faith in government. That's what sends radicals into meltdown mode, because Christianity stands in the way of their authoritarian, globalist agenda. This is simply restoring what the radical Left has spent decades trying to erase: a nation under GOD.

The future is indeed bright! PTL

Again, we need to get this really straight - if a white player had called a cop "stupid and Black," their career would be over before they finished the sentence. But when Sam Kerr allegedly does it, suddenly it’s all about "context"and "nuance"?!

And still, the same people who preach about equality and anti-racism are the first to contort themselves into pretzels to defend blatant racism when it's directed at the "right" target.

This is the problem with WOKE hypocrisy: racism is either wrong, or it isn't! You don't get to pick and choose based on who says it. But of course, in today's woke world, pointing that out makes you the bad guy.

Throw him in prison, toss the key into the freaking ocean, and let him spend the rest of his miserable existence explaining to his cellmates why he got locked up for being the lowest form of human filth.

Islamophobia is provably vastly more prevalent in American culture and society. Antisemitism is equally rising.

There was never any moral panic about a president being "secretly christian" in the US. And no protest anywhere with people chanting "Christians will not replace us".

Oh come on - while you clutch your pearls over so-called Islamophobia and rising "antisemitism", the fact that there's no hysterical moral panic about a "secretly Christian" president isn’t because faith is hidden, but because the Radical Left Uber "Progressives"' relentless crusade against Christianity is so brazen it's practically on display. Just look at the media bias and censorship campaigns... they may as well be shrieks of "Christians will not replace us!" This is the REAL existential threat to the foundations of the country.

How many cases of unwarranted firings and wanton trials per year, then? Must be several hundred thousand at least. Or maybe, just maybe, it's a minuscule occurence that your right-wing media bubble regularly blows out of proportions to make it seem like it's a generalized phenomenon?

Do you listen to yourself? "I don't think it's happening ENOUGH to matter." So apparently, discrimination is only real if it reaches some arbitrary six-figure threshold!

FACTS: Christians face far too many documented cases of workplace discrimination, lawsuits, censorship, and government overreach every year. The fact that it's not hundreds of thousands doesn't magically make it "minuscule" buddy - by that logic, hate crimes against any group would be irrelevant unless they reached pandemic levels. LOL!

I personally find it very hard to believe, from a purely mathematical standpoint, that a group that represents 65% of the US population, so a very strong majority, could somehow be "persecuted"."

You don't hear about mass firings of Muslims, Buddhists, or Hindus for their beliefs, do you? You don't see endless lawsuits forcing them to violate their religious convictions.

Nope. It's Christianity. Why? Because it's the one faith standing in the way of their (your) radical secular agenda. Sorry, but if you need "mathematical" proof to accept reality, maybe start by counting the times Christianity is openly attacked versus how other religions are handled. Spoiler alert: it ain't even close.

@Footage/Dagon 2.0

All sourced from very christian websites and organizations, of course, so devoid of any form of impartiality. One thing is for sure: Christians in America have a deep-seated persecution complex.

LOL @ "your sources don’t count because they come from people who ACTUALLY know what they're talking about." Classic.

Funny how that logic never applies when woke activists cite their own echo chambers as gospel truth. Well, if Christians in America supposedly have a "persecution complex," maybe it's because they're CONSTANTLY being sued, censored, fired, and ridiculed for daring be Christian - meanwhile, you play the victim because someone disagreed with you on JT.

Unfortunately, the REAL "deep-seated complex" here is the one that makes you incapable of addressing facts without immediately dismissing them based on who said them rather than what they said!

@TINC

They do not promote evil: they promote ending christian evil.

Alright, let's pretend all that garbage is true... so they're "fighting evil" by cosplaying as cartoon villains, throwing tantrums over Nativity scenes, and desperately trying to get attention from people they claim to hate. Yeah, nothing says "totally not evil" like naming your entire movement after Satan, the literal symbol of deception and destruction.

Clown-level idiocy.

That's great but any introduction of Christian anything into a government program needs to be accompanied by something from the Church of Satan.

Hardly surprising TINC that you would demanding equal government recognition for a group that exists purely to promote evil.

If the best argument you have is “Well, if Christianity gets a seat at the table, then my edgy, goat-sacrificing Devil-worshipping cosplay club should too," you might want to rethink your entire worldview.
