Posted in: Japanese high court rules same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional See in context

People should be free to live and partner with who ever they wish to be with without a damn certificate or permission from anyone as long as the are healthy and in agreement.

That's tricky especially when it comes to inheritance. If you have multiple partners and not one official, they will fight over your wealth. This way, government as the arbiter is straightforward.

This election will be decided in the swing states as always. No point in having a survey if they survey the entire country. They should just survey Georgia. Whoever wins that, wins the election.

Posted in: Is Japan’s custom of slurping noodles irritating, and why do people do it? See in context

Slurping is like saying “I am eating noodles” out loud without saying it.

For a culture so closed and private like Japan, why would you want to broadcast what you are eating?

Posted in: Hamas and Israel exchange more hostages for prisoners on fifth day of temporary cease-fire See in context

Good reporting here. You often see people citing that number as women and children, not minors like it’s actually referring to.

Because pro-Palestine terrorists likes calling 17 years and 11 months old terrorists as "children".

In the UK, 'an air source heat pump usually costs around £10,000. A horizontally installed ground source heat pump costs £24,000, on average.' 

I don’t understand why it’s so expensive there. It’s just an aircondition in reverse, plus a defroster. It’s 60,000 yen in Yodobashi!

I know people who voted for him don’t want to lumped together with his “base”. But that’s just wishful thinking because same they obviously believe all the lies he sputters.

If you’re a Trump voter, you’re a MAGA. No exception.

Japan, on the other hand, has been winning the war easily without much effort or cost. The life style of the addicted does not and will not gain much respect in Japan.

Just because you don’t know it doesn’t mean it does not exist. Just recently, a 700kg of meth shipment was intercepted. Who in their right mind will ship 700kg meth in a country if they don’t have anyone to sell it to?

Posted in: China seeks equal visa treatment from Japan after COVID See in context

Sound not fair for China, while Japan can just book their flight to China and do whatever they like.

Because there’s no reason for anyone to want to overstay in China and there’s a million reason why someone would want to live illegaly in Japan.
