> Physical and mental bullying and assaults are NEVER acceptable.

Absolutely, but don't assume I think women shouldn't defend themselves against an attacker. I just worded my response poorly.

Suggestions here either involve physical retaliation (illegal) or cutting her losses because she's a woman. Y'all are a sad bunch.

So this is where Strong Zero comes from.

Is this an attempt to spice up things? All the along the narrative has been Nightlife and Night Clubs are the main agents for the spread of the Virus. Since the night time narrative has been overused now it's time to deploy the Day time one? What a time we are living in now.

It's the government throwing a cup of water on a raging inferno and claiming they're doing all they can. All they can do is wag their little fingers at dumb citizens instead of actually enacting policy that would make a difference in reducing infection spread. It's honestly pathetic.

It surprises me some people enjoy the taste of beer enough to drink it without alcohol...

Imagine that. Salarymen become violent when their job forces them to stay home and actually interact with their families.

TEPCO is Frank Drebin from Naked Gun telling everyone "Please disperse! There's nothing to see here!" after those reactors went into meltdown. Absolute incompetence. Then again, these are the same loonies who played with fire and built nuclear power plants in an earthquake prone country.

Sometimes I don't understand the logic behind these prison sentences.

Throw logic out the window when you're dealing with bruised egos.

At least Kawabuchi can read the room better than Mori could.

3 reasons why pachinko parlors will never close:

Gambling addictions are commonplace

Types of people who frequent these establishments don't care for social distancing protocols anyway

They'll do anything they can to avoid their families

She sought the advice of an otolaryngologist who told her, "Nothing can be done." Another doctor prescribed her traditional "kampo" herbal medicine, but her condition did not improve.

Sadly, this sums up a lot of doctors here.

Looking for volunteers when over 80% of Japanese people think the games should be cancelled entirely. Someone's gonna be disappointed these frugal individuals don't show up.

This mindset shouldn't be too surprising considering these old fossils were never home to actually interact with their families to begin with.

Are Japanese politicians elected just so they can throw up their hands and say "しょうがない" at every problem that comes our way? I say our because these old goons are driven around everywhere and don't need to interact with us common folk. Make them stand in a packed Tokyo train during rush hour and they might change their minds.

Extend the SoE, you say? Meanwhile, at my office in Osaka, people continue to wear masks below their nose or take them off entirely when entering from outside. It baffles me how selfish and ignorant these people are.

If there was ever any doubt as to how greedy and corrupt the IOC was, the Tokyo olympics should be a testament to how vile they really are.

Last year, Canada was right to withdrawal from the games after the pandemic started surging.

It's time for countries to prove their loyalty to their athletes by dropping out of the games.

Saw them in stock this morning. I remember seeing them a few years back, but they didn't last long. Unfortunate since they're really convenient.

Good god. What a horrific experience from both perspectives. I hope he gets mental health treatment following his recovery.

It is pretty funny how alt-righters are already cannibalizing Trump after he waved the white flag during during his speech. It looks like this movement won't end with a new president, either.

After speaking on this topic with several Japanese men, I doubt anything will ever come of it. They're utterly convinced Korean comfort women willingly entered a "social contract" with Japanese soldiers, thus clearing them of any wrongdoing. The mental gymnastics these people go through is impressive in its absurdity.

I imagine the author for this article had a giant grin on their face the entire time they were writing it.

2,025 active cases in Japan? Pretty sure we pass more than that on our morning commutes to work.

Whose money is being used for this bribery?

Thsts right, you guessed it...

Surely it's money out of Takahashi's own pocket and not at the taxpayer's expense. Japan has a squeaky clean history with these matters and would never sink to that level of depravity.

;)

Xbox has a ton of great games. PS5 always does well in Japan because it's made by a Japanese company and that's all. Oh and they offer more anime type otaku games so....

Because the Xbox One outsold the PS4 in every other country besides Japan. Oh, wait...

I see they went to the Trump University seminar on Pandemic Management.

Regardless of whether he's actually guilty, it's ludicrous that the deck is being stacked against him. What happened to presumed innocence and the burden of proof being on the prosecutor?

Would be awkward if the lock mechanism malfunctioned in the middle of the deed.

You have to wonder at the motivation of our elected leaders greed and a sence of entitlement seem to be what's required.

They don't get into politics because they have a good moral compass, that's for sure.

On an unrelated note, can anyone explain to me why Japanese media outlets use photos of the accused in a car?

Don't mess this up, CPS.
