It is the first visit to Saudi Arabia by an Iranian head of state since

Isn't the supreme leader the actual head of state? Who has the final say or assent on foreign and defence policy?

What new island?! China has been visiting it since at least 1000 years and they have old documents to prove it!

Chinese president Xi keeps that document in his suit pocket the same way that former US president Trump keeps the document proving his innocence.

Mods: please don't delete. Related to the island situation and having a go at world leaders (which is allowed within parameters, which are met).

If a company is too big to fail or startups cannot be easily made (dont see any mom and pop airlines due to the initial investment costs of airplane and licenses), then they are too big to be private Oligopolies or monopolies and should be made a public good with each citizen being an equal shareholder.

...I hope police investigate his laptop and devices. This type of lunatic is often fuelled by an addiction to pornography possibly illegal material too.

Having adult porn on one's computer to get off on doesn't make one a criminal anymore than having a spouse to get off on does.

How about companies compete by offering higher pay, shorter hours, better benefits, and better work-life balance (eg family time, taking care of kids, creating own schedules, leaving when their hours are supposed to end).

Boy, imagine if there were no surveillance cameras. I think 99% of cases in Japan would probably go unprosecuted

There are other types of evidence. There is also the he said, she said. There is also pattern of behaviour.

Ummm. Thought marijuana was illegal?

Ratio pay tax would incentivize boards of directors to not overpay their ceo as the lowest paid workers salary and benefits would be tied to their ceo's.

but that climb to the top selling positions thanks to fake reviews (which can also be written using AI to avoid easy detection).

Sad that new authors probably need to use this method just to get seen. The algorithm is not friendly to those whose name isn't Steven King, Jk Rowling, or James Patterson (only tv ad for a book I have seen in the states).

So maybe the US govt should cancel govt contracts with Apple and them and US businesses can discourage use.

Not saying legal or not (not familiar enough with American laws), just saying a possible mitigation.

Let's not forget that anyone under 18 is considered a child. With him being a private (E1?, age 18/19), he might have asked his girlfriend (age 17) for a nude or partially nude photo. Let's get all the details and let the jury decide, not the media or social media.

And russia criticizes japan over sanctions. Russia coups always just sanction japan in protest.

The measures to reduce reliance on AI are then written by AI.

In my example above.

EDIT BUTTON, PLEASE

For clarification, an enlisted would probably retire with $70k (¥10.5 million) annually base pay, so half would be $35k (¥5.25 million) annual pension for the rest of life. Perhaps can keep basic housing allowance and/or food allowance depending on the scheme.

Just a thought, do what the Americans did:

20 years of service, then defined benefit pension for the rest of your life at half the base pay

lowest paid is ¥3.8 million, plus basic housing allowance and basic food allowance, pegged to inflation and local area

multiple businesses provide 10% off for active duty and veterans

Why not just remove and arrest those advocating violence? Or, on the other hand, just reject all protest permits until cooler heads prevail on all sides (this would include Ukrainian war protests too).

Never been more shiny.

There are many auto baths for the disabled and old including lifting a person into the bath.

I just stick the coins in, press the wash and add the extra wax option, and wait on the conveyor. Green light comes on and I am squirted with soap. Then I am bashed with rubber ribbons scrubbing me as I move forward. Water jets out and rinses me off. Air dryers blast supersonic air at me, drying me instantly. Finally, a wax coat is added at the end.

Enclave in this case can mean residential, social, and even cultural for some.

Integration into the majority australian (former British colonial with mix of immigrant culture) in both residence and unified single culture would equalize outcomes, but it would also harm the traditional indigenous culture and depopulate native lands as the indigenous would be fully incorporated into the majority australian society to get the same outcomes as everyone else. Enclaves tend to have worse outcomes.

Indigenous children are less likely to go to school, less likely to be literate

Didn't they royally shrew up last time they tried to tinker with literacy rates back in the 20th century (eg splitting up children from families, forcing them into standardized curriculum, "de-indigenizing" them)? And now they are treated differently and some segregated onto reservations? It is difficult issue.

@桜川雪 that's over 100 years ago dude, utterly irrelevant

History is never irrelevant. Must know or unscrupulous people may try to dupe you again.

Yen has been depreciated for over a century. Anyone remember when Sen was used ("cents" to the yen)? In 1910, 1 yen was equivalent to 50¢ USD.

So cosplay is illegal?

Also, I've seen places that give stuff but then insist on a donation. We should crack down on that business model altogether.

Isn't cutting off his ad revenue similar to firing someone for allegations, not an actual conviction? Should people at his workplace all the way up also be fired and not given pensions and other benefits (usually the higher ups)?

Title: 15-year-old boy arrested for stabbing friend in Ishikawa Prefecture

Perhaps it should read "former friend"?

Hallelujah!

Beyond imagination !

> The risk in Japan is that they will consider any fellow from the underskirt guy to the raper to fall within same category and there will be so many that staff will be short very quickly if ever ghat type of system is implemented. No joking

My understanding is that happens in the US currently, for comparison. The public urinator (who is either homeless without access to facilities) or a drunk get put on the sx offender registry as well.
