Posted in: Japan foreign minister says women's involvement key to peace efforts See in context

Actually she's right. It's been proven by many scientific studies that women (and females in general) resort far less than male counterparts to aggressive (attacking) physical violence. They're also quicker sometime to resort to protective violence (of a child for example). This would lead to less wars and a more peaceful society. Thing is, even in "civilised" countries having women in charge of these matters is extremely far from the reality. Nevermind countries where women are actually given lesser rights than men.

Posted in: How many married people with children in Japan admit to cheating on their spouse? Survey says… See in context

We don't know how they defined "cheating" prior to the questionnaire - Many (I would think they're a good majority) of Japanese males and females do not consider using paid prostitution services as cheating, as there is no romance involved. This is a big difference from many other cultures.

Posted in: Hungary's parliament ratifies Sweden's NATO bid See in context

“Hungary is a sovereign country. It does not tolerate being dictated by others, whether it be the content of its decisions or their timing,” Orban said.

Honey - you stopped being a sovereign and independent country the second you entered EU and NATO. Last year Hungary was one of the biggest EU funds beneficiary, at more than 4 billion EU. You can claim sovereignty and national (Russian) interests are more important the second you stop using EU and Nato money then:

Thousands came to enjoy it in heavy snow? So, just for my relaxation and entertainment: again, how many trillions has USA spent to eliberate and educate these people?

The rope was invented for such psychos. He should have never be allowed back among us. 18 is far too light.

Posted in: Google says its AI image-generator would sometimes 'overcompensate' for diversity See in context

As a white male from the poor side of Europe I can testify I haven't benefited from any kind of privilege in my life. Americans should solve their problems internally, not project them over the rest of the world. It has became so strongly anti-white males biased it's not even funny any longer. We're worth nothing when compared with otherwise similar blacks and will lose evertime in a selection (job interview for example).

I like the medallion designs. They remind of Japanese metal art. The Japonisme of French and Philippe Burty will always remain in vogue.

That's only you, dear. Japonisme? The French are capable enough to design chic things without any Japonisme influence.

But personally I don't like these at all: they tried so much to highlight that hexagonal piece of Eiffel tower that the entire thing ended up looking like a communist military medal, with those rays coming out underneath it..

Well, Messi was the big sales point in this tournament :) . I ensure you they wouldn't have had half the sales if he would announce he would be missing. That being said, he has the right to declare he's injured (probably he really is) and miss all the games!

Buhbye, hamas... You poked the bear one time too many. There is absolutely no benefit for Israel to ceasefire or comply with any of your demands - why would they stop before all of hamas is eradicated?

For people mislead by the article's title into clicking and reading it - 80 percent do want a child at some point. Don't focus on the 20 percent and their reasoning, focus on how to support the 80 percent.

I too, had to drive over four hours in yesterday's snow. No issues whatsoever, quite the opposite, everyone was well behaved and the traffic was very smooth. Probably people were extra careful, although some sherbet on the road is not that dangerous.

Oh, and it's another example of EU ruling the world towards a positive outcome. EU also initiated and signed off the GDPR act and it's the main "whip holder"when it comes to controlling greed and money grabbing by the likes of Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. You're welcome, everyone else!

I worked on this project. Politicians do employ a lot of technical consulting resources in order to learn the AI's capabilities, future and dangers and don't just blindly make decisions. Even if they are not technical people (although many come from technical, engineering backgrounds).

Posted in: People in the world’s ‘blue zones’ live longer – their diet could hold the key to why See in context

Eating mostly vegetarian but not refraining from the occasional fish, chicken or lean red meat. Tons of olive oil, raw garlic, a bit of wine and a bit of bread daily. No smoking and no sugar (sodas, etc). No synthetic additives.

There, I just saved you thousands of dollars in customised "lose fat quickly" diets.

For people asking themselves what are these used mostly used for - mainly for 3D porn. Yep, it's a thing, it gained huge traction thanks to increased internet speeds and CoVID imposed isolation, and there are a lot of free or very affordable sites. It basically the only industry where VR hasn't tanked - everywhere else is losing traction. There you have it.

BigP - it's not only Tojo that's they're. The souls of a few million ex soldiers are also enshrined. There's absolutely no shame in going and respecting those people, many families have a father or grandfather there.

Yeah, in the meantime China builds its military up for invading the borders of at least five independent (for now) countries, Japan included. So no wonder they'll protest anything like this. Like, why would Japan care about that?

Japan has much bigger problems than what just happened and they will solve then with the very military that just got reprimanded.

What a stupid outcome. Should simply allow people to decide for themselves - to be honest it's not that interesting to watch the video, but I'd totally do it fully nacked myself. It's only skin and we're not that different.

Posted in: Death sentence likely in Japan anime arson trial See in context

It costs more on average to the tax payer to have a person executed than serve life in prison. Many reasons for this, can easily be in online.

It actually doesn't, except in the US (but there a bag of saline water also costs 2500-3000 USD, so yeah...) Online? Please do share one link about the execution cost analysis in Japan, if it's so freely available online.

Many who are against the death penalty for "moral reasons" fail to actually elaborate what that means. Do explain to us why should my taxmoney be wasted on keeping this animal alive for the rest of his misebable life, instead of paying the 100$ for the rope?

Posted in: Japan automakers tap foreign models to drive sales of recreational cars See in context

Although they look big, most of the Japanese-designed SUVs and offroader cars are actually not bigger than family mini-vans (under 5m length and under 2 m width) - so they would basically fit almost anywhere, even in Japan. The only problem will be with their weigth, as many underground parking lots don't allow cars over 2t.
