Blatantly biased headline.

Posted in: PFAS chemicals detected in 20% of Japanese tap water in gov't survey See in context

Any US base ...they use it as a flame retardant and just hose it down the drain as they have no oversight from local bodies....

This information was mentioned a couple of times in the news but otherwise suppressed.

Whether you like the appearance or not it's the causing people to take a step back and reconsider mindless urban sprawl / overproduction of everything that has value

Posted in: IOC chief hopeful Sebastian Coe: 'We run risk of losing women's sport' See in context

Can we just say only women who were born female are eligible and be done with it?

So much toxicity and endless conflict when you let people who were born as males compete, and if a transgender boxer were to permanently impair or kill a female boxer we'd never hear the end of it.

@Taiwan

Don't try to wipe out 24 million people and you have nothing to worry about.

Paranoid much? If everyone followed this neurotic mindset the earth would be reduced to ashes in seconds.

People forget that the blockade was also an important part of ending the war

Yes and people forget how racist the attitudes were to the Japanese people at this time which justified and excused these atrocities. Ishihara Shintaro wrote in his book how US fighter jets would use their machine guns to strafe civilians including children.

Posted in: Conor McGregor must pay $250,000 to woman who says he raped her, civil jury rules See in context

Her lawyer told jurors that McGregor was angry about a fight he had lost in Las Vegas two months earlier and took it out on his client.

She said he picked her and a friend up in a car and shared cocaine with them, which McGregor admitted in court, on the way to the Beacon Hotel.

McGregor put her in a chokehold and later told her, “now you know how I felt in the octagon where I tapped out three times,” referring to a UFC match when he had to admit defeat, she said.

A paramedic who examined Hand the next day testified that she had never before seen someone with that intensity of bruising. A doctor told jurors Hand had multiple injuries.

What a great guy, eh? A married mixed martial artist who uses his combative techniques on a helpless woman so he can rape her.

Posted in: Japanese, South Koreans at bottom of global love life survey See in context

Lots of things in the study are very interesting. I found it very interesting that in Dec 2011 both Japan and South Korea had high levels of happiness with Japan (70% happiness level) and South Korea (71% happiness level) respectively, but then went down substantially over the years to now.

In 2012 someone came to power in Japan, then proceeded to heavily alter the fabric of Jpn society with his policies which favored the elite until his demise very recently (the basic policies live on, which may explain why his party was dumped on in the last election).

Posted in: ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, ex-defense minister and a Hamas leader See in context

The new defense minister, Israel Katz, who replaced Gallant earlier this month, said Thursday’s decision is “a moral disgrace, entirely tainted by antisemitism, and drags the international judicial system to an unprecedented low.”

Playing the racism card, well actually no it's about the fact you've massacred tens of thousands women and children.

I never understand these people. There is a whole world of entertainment businesses out there where they can see as many naked women as they want. I must be missing something.

They often upload their footage to porn sites, whose community they actively participate in.

Nah his comment was in bad taste and btw the context is no shortage of racial slurs shouted at players by hooligan fans so for a player to play up to that is disgraceful

Back then they weren't so much a part of US society as they were bullied by US society and just exploited for cheap labor.

But yes they did manage to get a good foothold in California.

She's been appearing for decades now - 80s ~ 2020s and still is one of my favourite actors.

She started appearing on TV in the late 90s.

To get to the root of why the LDP operates the way it does you need to go back and confirm how they were founded by a non-Japanese entity who reinstated war criminals to power in the post war era.

There was no problem during the first Trump administration other (for pro military industrialists❩ than the fact the weapons sales declined due to Trump making peace with Kim.

This is simply following the standard LDP playbook, i.e. Abe raising the military budget to record levels every year he was in office, Tanaka Kakuei accepting bribes from Lockheed, Abe's grandfather Kishi Nobusuke arranging things so Japan would buy US fighter planes, etc.
