Nope. It's so easy nowadays that we have Amazon, Rakuten, Mercari, etc.

Posted in: Japan faces dilemma over special-needs education See in context

Anyways, get rid of teachers having to take care of bukatsu. Just like the so needed hanko in the workplace during work from home days, it doesn't work and needs to change. Do it and start to see the education system improving, less karoshi, etc.

Posted in: Japan faces dilemma over special-needs education See in context

Special education students should be placed into special education classrooms, and taught by special education officially trained teachers. Not taught by regular teachers in normal classes.

The whole idea is that they need special attention, and normal teachers are already waaaay overworked.

Thanks to the failed policies of the Democrats and this administration in particular. We are definitely in bad shape.

It takes more than 4 years to take a nation into such a bad shape.

In 2016 you had two choose between two villains. First forward to 2024, you've got two similar choices once again, villain or villain.

That third world country keeps falling from the inside out.

Well, Shibuya station is a labyrinth at the moment. Better skip that place and have the party somewhere else.

Posted in: 'Oppenheimer' to get theatrical release in Japan, after all See in context

the bomb was originally developed to use against Germany” is well known in Japan

Mmm, I've met some Japanese people (mostly women) who told me they don't understand why US just dropped the bombs on their land for absolutely no reason, and that Japan never did anything wrong to anyone during the war. I was like like what!?

@jeffy

You're dang correct in absolutely everything you mentioned on your comment above.

The recent Marvels movie flip flopped and some are saying it did because the movie's main characters are female. But then, like you mentioned, we've had female main laid since forever and people love them. Movies and video games alike.

Posted in: 'Wonka' movie holds remnants of novel's racist past See in context

I never thought about these movies being racist until I read this article.

But with "highlighting his role as her white savior," I still don't see the racism.

Posted in: 'Grand Theft Auto VI' trailer drops, flagging 2025 release See in context

We certainly hope that GTA VI will reflect a more inclusive attitude toward LGBTQ

Please do not include any of that in the game. We don't need it.

And if you do, please do it in a subtle, normal way and not a "pushing it down your throat" like other organizations these last ten years (JT, Bungie, LGBT groups, etc).

I don't believe it. This will be the same as the Dragon Age 4 and Elder Scrolls 6 trailers. Just a tease and 5+ years of waiting.

Posted in: Half of hospitals see no merit in My Number health insurance cards: survey See in context

Japan always overcomplicating things.

In Korea, with your resident's card which everyone have, people can both use their need med. insurance and get residence related documents. Japan could have done someone similar. Use an already established system and expanded its use.

But nope. Let's create this entirely new and different system that nobody want, give it cringe name, make a cute logo (that rainbow cloud thing) to "make it appealing?" Then keep pushing it when it clearly doesn't look efficient.

The cyclist probably jumped into the road without looking, maybe even looking at her smartphone.

That happened to a jhs student I had. He just jumped into the road on his bike without looking and was impacted an incoming truck. Sadly, he didn't make it.

I hate cigarettes, their nasty smell and the damage it does. But Luxon is not wrong about that. The moment you can smoking, alcohol and the like, you instantly create a black market.

Posted in: What do you think are some of the major differences between J-pop and K-pop music? See in context

The music, obviously the language. Some good singers in both sides. Psy and Jessi are my favorite ones; loved Namie Amuro.

The idols, Japanese females are... Kimochiwarui, for the most. Always trying to look cute, sometimes sexy but act like ten years old girls. Like they're trying to appeal to pedophiles. Disgusting.

Korean idols on the other side. Grown up sexy women (as plastic as they might be).
