or......maybe just have an open tatami room adjacent to the nurses room and let them sleep there?

Posted in: It was expected that the number of PCs lent to students would increase due to online classes during the coronavirus pandemic, but it seems that many households purchased them independently. See in context

 approximately 26,000 PCs worth 990 million yen in government funds remained unused.

So use them. Or sell them.

It's not rocket science.

It does no one any good, just sitting there doing nothing.

Posted in: 'I just wanted her to see my T-back' doesn’t save man from being arrested for exposing butt See in context

“It was not my intention to show her my butt. I wanted a young woman to see the T-back underwear I was wearing.”

oh good, contradiction.

Too bad, she didn't put her boot in said butt.

That would have been real funny to watch as he fell.

Nearly 90% of Chinese view Japan negatively: poll

So, how does that pay my bills?

Oh, it doesn't? Then so, what?

Pretty sure it's the same feeling in Japan, and for no actual reason too.

Whenever I hear some Japanese person say "I hate Chinese people," or something like that, I ask why do you hate them?

silence..............................

Yup, no actual reason, except for just "I hate them."

Posted in: Do you think participation in extracurricular school activities in Japan is beneficial for students? See in context

IF

If it were 1-2 hours every weekday, sure.

BUT

When it's 3-5 hours a day, 7 days a week......doubled on the weekends, no.

Posted in: Father of PlayStation says 'everyone told us we would fail' See in context

I'll always remember the Playstation for what they did by making the PS2, a DVD player back in 2000. That was definitely a game changer all around.

budget, reforms on agenda

VERY easy solution.

Cut ALL Diet member's salary in half off the top. NO exceptions.

Also eliminate per diem and set a travel budget for every single member.

That would open up a LOT of funds in the "budget."

Posted in: Man with snake face tattoo arrested for assault See in context

That's some animation from about @35 seconds in.

Can't tell if snake face is trying to do sit ups or getting ready for a standing long jump.

They say never judge a book by its cover, but that dude is insane!

Posted in: Girl who jumped off building roof, killing herself and pedestrian below, to be prosecuted See in context

If she's prosecuted and found guilty posthmusly, what exactly would the punishment be? What's the purpose? Wouldn't it just be a waste of taxpayer's money?

I am not for or against the punishment, but one would assume that because she is a minor........was a minor, that her parents or guardians would take the punishment. If there is one.

Whatever that may be.

IDK what the laws are, but wouldn't it be similar to if a teenager were to jump in front of a busy commuter train?

Posted in: Japan's ruling LDP vice president eyes visit to South Korea See in context

 Suga, vice president of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, is considering visiting South Korea in mid-December, a source familiar with the matter said Monday.

The last few videos and pictures they've shown of Suga, it looks like he can barely function as a capable human.

Why is he even still in office, let alone trying to plan diplomatic trips to SK in the winter cold?

And on the tax payer's yen to boot.

Posted in: Do you think trains and subways in Japan's major cities should operate 24 hours a day? See in context

NO.

Since there's a "labor shortage," who would run or maintain the stations and trains from 12 - 6 AM?

Maybe if everything was autonomous, that would be a different story.

Ishiba misses APEC group photo session 

Isn't that the Japanese PM's only duty? To take photo opps. Can't even do that right, huh ISHI?

Maybe next time learn some time management.

And was he the ONLY one who missed it?

ooops. I guess it didn't matter if he was even there or not.

Hayashi said, "I've heard it was a routine health check that had been scheduled before."

Oh good, rumors. Not facts.

No Japanese cold medicine is that strong.

has been unwell, saying there is "no health issue."

so, a contradiction?

After cancelling Halloween, Tokyo’s Shibuya neighborhood cancels New Year’s Eve too

Why stop there?

Why not cancel Christmas and Valentine's day too?

Hell, cancel the summer festivals and any celebrations of any kind as well?

Might as well put up signs that say no talking or laughing, ever.
