It was stupidly hot today. The shade was almost tolerablr but the direct sunlight in the afternoon felt deadly. I really feel for those who have no other option but to work outside. I get it, gaman gaman, but there are physical limits to how much the human body can gaman.

It would be interesting to see how the world would react if Netanyahu was assassinated.

Aircon efficiency is going to be a huge business in the future. Something you would expect Japan to do well at.

Good riddance, they should have nailed this guy October 8th. Highly doubt this will lead to any deescalation in Gaza, but Im totally up for being wrong.

I hope he rots in hell

Of course this is in part down to inhospitable working conditions, but its also largely due to a complete breakdown of social skills.

Convenience can be the devil. Society panders to much to people who want to lock themselves in a closet and never speak to anyone.

Based on dollar weakness

Afro Samurai wasnt historically accurate either. Still slaps.

Its a game. If it makes you cry, maybe its time to get a life.

So, if a non-resident foreigner goes to one of these hotels, restaurants or retail shops, and can’t find someone to communicate with them in their native language, should they be charged the same price as Japanese?

flash your zairyu card. you have to carry it by law. problem solved

Why because these businesses are already making more money than they were before the tourists.

The restaurant owner himself said only 80% of his business are locals so he is now making 20% more than he would without tourists.

That easily offsets any possible extra costs.

Without tourists he brings in 20% less revenue.

The costs of doing business are going up, so the business owner is looking for ways to alleviate that problem without burdening his loyal/local customers. Sounds fine to me.

What is the alternative, to make it more expensive for everyone and price-out locals?

Got to have a good middle man to make sure the right boots are licked

I love living in the middle of nowhere

All those dinosaurs seems they have no clue on why the Yen is keep collapsing.

The BOJ are not stupid. They have found themselves in an impossible situation. They can keep rates at effectively zero, and pray that traders give up on the carry trade when the FED drops rates, or they can increase rates, squeezing already strained homeowners, and crushing small and medium sized businesses that require zero interest loans to remain even remotely competitive, leading to bankruptcies and job losses.

In which country can those other than the loaded or singles afford to travel abroad?

Probably Europe

or is tge BoJ too afraid of upsetting households?

What happens to the thousands of zombie companies who are kept afloat by access to interest free debt? What happens to the workers at those companies?

It was very entertaining

Not sure if it has anything to do with gender, but the female security officer fumbling to holster her sidearm was comical. She certainly shouldn't have been part of the immediate security team.

What summer vacation? A day or two tops.

Side note: Our local outdoor pool is a joke. No shade, and the water is almost hot.

They dont give a toss anymore. With Trump presidency almost guaranteed, they can do what they want. Women, kids, disabled people. They can kill the lot with Trumps blessing. Dark times ahead.

Why not give it as mother 10 years and let the tuna population flourish?

Becasue profit good now

36000 is a significant number or respondents, this is pretty horrifying.

Before Trump was escorted off stage, surrounded by secret service, instead of ducking sown, he stood up straight, head fully exposed, and defiantly raised his hand in the air.

That image alone is enough to win the election.

Its in the bag for Trump now

Maybe use it to increase SDF salaries...

Making it too easy to access including morning after pills encourages promiscuous behaviour and adultery.

Why would it make it society more promiscuous than using a condom? And what happens when a condom breaks?

No. There’s no definitive evidence that they were killed by the IDF. If you have concrete evidence feel free to post it

Survivor of Be'eri Hadas Dagan disagrees. She describes the attack on her home that killed her whole family and says it was clearly IDF.

You tell me, how many Israeli’s were killed by the IDF?

at least 13 at Kibbutz Be'eri

Thanks to Netanyahu and his right-wing allies Israel has never been safer
