Congratz to the couple. It's good they reveal it.

It's great because i love it when baseball players bring their family along to watch the games. Especially the kids to see the sport.

Posted in: Ramadan in Gaza begins with hunger worsening and no end to war in sight See in context

I though HAMAS gladly welcome the war while acting boastful every year by shooting rocket barrages to their neighbor. We haven't heard of any large missiles barrage anymore aiming at Israel. The last large scale 5000+ missiles they shot toward Israel last year must have really depleted their stock.

Don't be fooled. They are finally on their last leg.The Gaza Strip is just 25 miles long. There is no way HAMAS can last. No more deals or compromises . Just finish the job and in 2-3 more months they will run out of holes to hide. Let's see how they can keep fighting without ammunition and supplies inside their tunnels.

Posted in: Atom bomb survivor hopes Japan debut of 'Oppenheimer' will stoke nuclear debate See in context

Let's hope the debut actually is about giving us some freaking nukes too when all our neighbors already has them while threaten every year to release them on us whenever they throw a tantrum.

Even India has them. Why can we?

Let's be real. People enjoyed Ken way more than her in the movie. The success of the film was not only thanks to her. Is crazy how every news outlet is trying to make it seems like she was the one who made that film such a big hit.

@Paul

What you expect them to say? Who would willingly confess and want to go to prison? Everyone knows that the best thing to do when you get arrested is to deny everything until your lawyer arrive. As long you have been drinking and say you can't remember, even if they have concrete proof it's you, you still get a lighter sentence than you saying you clearly remember how it went down.

I can buy a whole restaurant with dozens of the same booth with that money.

The booth is not even sigh by James Gandolfini. I think this is just pure PR stunt and actually they paid this out of their own pocket.

Posted in: Trump backs Israel's war in Gaza See in context

Let's be realistic here. Anyone ever think any truce will ever last? The problem will still exist and the conflict will continue the moment the weaker side manage to recover and regroup. So might as well just get it over and see it through the end. Like it or not, this war will end with one side losing. Half measures ain't gonna cut it anymore.

Keep fighting. I like to see just how much resources Russia can burn through before wrecking their entire economy for lands they have no use for. Ships are good targets, but the real important targets are the oil depots and refineries. Send more long range missiles to Ukraine.

Posted in: S Korea's Yoon calls for unification, on holiday marking 1919 uprising against colonial Japan See in context

It's not doable. Even if you forget about all the elite classes and system there for a bit, but just them being China neighbor alone, they would never allow the unification to happen. North Korea has always been seen as a buffer zone for them. One of the biggest problem is also North Korea huge stockpiles of weapons. Not only nukes, but also chemical and biological weapons. The first thing is to even secure them all over the country.

The Kim dynasty might be horrifying, but they are also the only thing keeping all the horrors of lethal weapons of their nation in check. Even the US would never wish for the Kim family to lose control and create a huge nightmare for the US. Especially when you have over 1 million of active soldiers that will suddenly lose their purpose and job.

Posted in: Baseball superstar Ohtani announces marriage to Japanese woman See in context

Likely a childhood sweetheart then. It should be a girl he knows before he ever left the country to play baseball abroad. Considering he was so focus on baseball and barely ever had time to interact with anything else, she definitely had to be someone he knew from even very young and likely lived near his home.

Anyway, congratulation. Having a wife to support you is a big boast.

Less resource consumption is not bad for a overpopulated world. True, there are many problems too that comes with reduce population, but overall is still a good thing both for nature and the country.

Now if only the government is willing to reduce taxes too and give out lands for more space to live in. Then we truly would have a paradise. The taxes is what killing us. Stop spending so much of our tax money on foreign policies and charity and instead focus more on the population. Best is to also to remove the US troops which are clearly freeloading at this point. Not to mention the pollution and noises they cause.

Increase the number of medical students

I don't see how that is even suppose to be a issue. Firstly don't the youth get to decide on their own if they want to enter med school or not? They pay for the fees too no less. Is a costly study and require hard work.

If they can succeed and has the potential to become future doctors, then how can they be denied to try this career path? The current doctors fear of losing their income? What kind of selfish reasoning is that? Is a free market. Can you even forbid someone to go after their dreams?

I feel these doctors are just only thinking of themselves and fear they lose their high earnings by trying to keep the number of available doctors low.

Posted in: Japan's ¥43 trillion defense spending plan still insufficient: experts See in context

What a waste of money. Any idea how much money we will able to spare to do other things if the military wasn't needed or least downsize to around 100k people. There is really not a lot of need for them. Quantity over quality at this point. Instead focus more on the drones industry. Is definitely a interesting market in the modern world.

Posted in: Private sector participation key for Japan's support for Ukraine See in context

Asking the private sector to go in is to ask them to go bankrupt. The government do know that Ukraine is losing right? Not just soldiers but also territories. So how anyone think they will ever see these investment back again is pretty nuts. The Ukraine government barely able to keep themselves afloat. A missile or drone can easily destroy all the hard work for any company.

If you look at it, the only business that will strive in this kind of environment is the defense sector.

Posted in: No lunch in Ginza: Japan's scaled-back spending helps push economy to recession See in context

This is too funny. The media trying to shift the whole thing as if it's about spending. Ranking doesn't matter anymore. Because it's already a miracle the GPD is even this high for a population which numbers has been dropping and aging. We went from 127million to 123million in a few years. How you expect the gdp to even still rise? Forget the gdp and instead focus to balance out the people daily lives. Is crazy that the people is still obsess with what number you are on that stupid ranking list. Look at those at the very top. USA has the highest, but does it reflect the population is doing excellent? The wealth gap there is horrifying and how many times were institutions on the brink of collapse?

In fact i am glad the gdp is dropping. Maybe this will finally stop the government from constantly wasting our tax money by donating it all over the world and finally instead learn how to live a bit more cost saving.

Clearly they made a example out of him to deter any future copy cats. He did cause a massive shock wave across the catering industry. Due to one person idiocy to get views, they cause so much inconvenience for those who visited these places to eat. Sucks to be him but in the end one has to answer for his own actions when caught.

To be fair, is kinda ridiculous that the US had to pay 16% of NATO funds while also contributing troops and supplies to help them defend the borders when US is not even nowhere near that region. Some countries within NATO is not only not pulling their weight, but also intentionally trying to benefit from it.

Cease fire deals are idiotic. It just one side seeking time to regroup, gather their strength and try to recover for future retaliation. Just finish it already no matter the cost. By the end of the year, let's see just how many tunnel they still think they can hide in with no resupply of weapons and reinforcement.

I am pretty sure everyone was straight up lying to her face then. Because she is not playing well. Sometimes is better to tell the person the truth that they suck and just tell them to try harder. Because those around her telling she is doing well, clearly it's not helping her.

Posted in: 'Bad buzz': How video games learnt to embrace diversity See in context

I think the media largely misunderstood what players actually think and want. "Give us a playable female character" has nothing to do with diversity or representation, but we just find it funny to play as a female character. If these journalists actually bother to do research, then they will know a lot of players likes to choose to play as hot female characters in games because it's funny. And trust me, some of the weird things they do, it' probably not what the media had in mind for adding a playable female character.

NUG aren't the ones doing the fighting. Instead they are living abroad on other countries dime. As if they could ever be given power even if the different group of rebels manage to overthrow the current government. If they care so much, they should return and fight for their countries like the other rebel groups.

Some of the comments have zero sympathy.

First off, who would run away from their beloved home country to escape media coverage? Run to live somewhere else? People speak as if it's that easy to abandon everything you know.

And obvious he had to announce the divorce so the media would stop bugging her and her family. Is possible she and her family is suffering huge mental stress from the whole thing and he wanted her to be happy and not suffer in such a marriage. Just wish them both well.
