If the UK ejected every Russian involved in nefarious activities, there’d be no prostitution, money laundering or human trafficking in the UK.

Whatever would they do? Lol.

Speed

and gov allowing these to be used in public transport.

"Fin whales are deemed "vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Japan's decision to catch them has alarmed conservationists."

Leave them alone.

Why? You don't have to eat them.

Banthu, um, this is happening in Brazil. They might use the US Constitution, but I bet it's not word for word.

Is it censorship to stop invidious social and political lies? Maybe. But it seems that this is Brazil's call.

People who speak the truth don't need censorship.

The only people who want censorship are those that fear the truth.

No one should ever be censored, you should be able to say what you want, whether it offends people or not. Censorship is for those who fear or oppose various viewpoints and BELIEVE that they the powers that be have the right to dictate to others what information should be consumed.

I have eaten whale meat before, and aside from the novelty of it, it's not that tasty. Kinda like a weird ocean beef flavor. They are going out of their way to try to "revive" the industry by trying to get young people to eat it. It is a dying tradition. It's been around for a long time and hasn't disappeared yet, yet very few native Japanese are eating it. The only ones holding on to such traditions are the Japanese in the industry and the forgers that want to act like they love it so much. They will never get people to eat whale like the olden days because the younger generation doesn't care to eat it.

My mom made this stuff when I was young. No one did it better. My oldest sister made pear butter, too. Both these women were outstanding cooks. They're dead now, but I don't want a recipe. I want a free jar just for judgement purposes. I sure couldn't make it myself.

Question is, why did he carried a knife with him in the first place?

Doesn't change the opinion of anyone in Yalta, Balaclava or Simferopol.

They voted in 1991 to stay part with Russia in the controversial event. They have always voted for a friend of the east in every election - look at the electoral map 91 to 2014.

And it doesn't change the fact of 1783.

all was started with gov panicking news abt typhoon this and that so there was a herd reaction.

artificially produced panic abt shortage of rice brought nice extra profits to supermarkets.

as simple as is.

we just get new rice from local farmer.same price as last year.no chemicals,no extra supermarket charges.you know what you eat.

dont get fooled.there is no shortage of rice and no reason to hike price at all.there just a greed behind of all of it

Japan faces three major problems, natural disasters, energy independence, and the aging population.

I’d say the government can’t do much about any but the third of those issues.

Natural disasters are tough but never stopped Japan from becoming great, when it did so at different times in the past.

Energy independence, I doubt Japan can achieve that no matter what the government does (unless it crashes the economy)

Where else than Japan could you have something like this? I know I'm praising Japan for something, which is a taboo thing to do here, but in the States there's nothing quite so grand. There might be something like it elsewhere on earth, but, forgive my ignorance, I don't know where. I know I for one would love to see this.

so the Desperate whale industry has now resorted to treating whale meat as a novelty to attract young eaters. With mercury as a natural condiment in whale meat, the whale industry is doing its part in keeping Japan’s population in decline

You'd have to be insane to eat any of this:

"EIA’s research over the past 15 years shows...

And who was it who funded the report? The for or against?

Oh, that's no way to treat Mother Nature. I have on best authority (MAGA newsletter) that when She's done everything will be ducky. In the meantime, what's a few kids, more or less.

Since the details of how this was done are missing from the story, I wonder how the accused did it. Intentionally coughing or sneezing on the victim?

In any case, it sets a dangerous precedent.

And what about those health authorities who shifted COVID patients from hospitals into aged care facilities, infecting thousands and resulting in thousands of deaths? They seem to have gotten off scot-free...

Maybe the govt. should stop limiting rice harvesting. They should also get rid of that fear inducing panic message on our TVs for two weeks straight.

Us have lost in UA as same as in Libya,Syria,Iraq and Afghanistan.

I know you love this line but the country with two new NATO allies and without needing 100k bodybags did not lose by any stretch of the imagination.

While Japan goes backwards in time....

For anyone interested, I found the catch limit set by Japan.

I’m gonna call it slightly over a 1% catch limit versus the estimated number of fin whales in the target stock.

https://www.jfa.maff.go.jp/j/whale/attach/pdf/index-71.pdf

I wonder how many will actually be caught, time will tell.

The car maker and the software corporation. The driver of the cause of the accident if they altered the self-driving mechanism.

Maybe they could remove the uploaded enhanced satellite photo from the ground tracker. Then it would look less suspicious.

The arming key feature has been worked out BTW.

The only people who want censorship are those that fear the truth.

So Putin wants censorship for a million years. Got it.

The candidates are all main stream career politicians, some cabinet members.

All have had how many years, decades even to implement these agendas, to influence change

Yet every election, the same proposals, promises pledges reform this, restructure that, subsidises for and against, fight depopulation, solve child care.

Then sit back and cross fingers that nobody will notice little or no change.

The finance ministry included Seven & i in a regular update on national security classifications of various companies.

"Core industries are those industries for which advance notification is required" because there is "a significant risk of damage to national security", Japan's Cabinet explains on its website.

What a crock this is. I love 7/11 Japan but this is just straight up protectionism. I know my onigiris and coffee are not part of national security.

go west...you will be not missed.

Erdogan has done his part by helping Russia avoid sanctions and win.

This is called throwing something a bone to pretend all is well.

They also locked up Russia's black sea fleet and gave Kyiv breathing room to set up it's export corridor. All in all not a bad friend to Ukraine.

Maybe the UK can remove a decal from the missiles to satisfy the bloodthirsty tyrant.

A "war on Ukraine" is a false equivalency. Don't simplify the complexities of this conflict. Millions of Ukrainians are on Russia's side. How odd.

Millions more are on the side you want to see dead.

Clearly this a war of the Russian Federation against the Kyiv-regime,

You're right, and an unprovoked war at that.

with millions supporting the former and very few willing volunteers for the latter.

A few volunteers didn't kill 100k terrorists.

This has no relevance John,

Dude, YOU were the one talking about the 2.5 million outlay and how economically burdened that made Ohio residents. You used the term “Saddled” as if these migrants are an economic drain.

That clearly is not the case.

So now you’re backpedaling and saying “This has no relevance”.

Make up your mind or better yet, be silent.
