Japan has a track record for convicting the wrong person. The death penalty might end the wrong person's life.

Silly definitions like this lessen the gravity of actual violence.

If one of the four things that needs to be "desperately amended" is the Imperial Household Law, there isn't much to complain about, is there?

How do you perform a psychiatric evaluation on a silent person?

a system that is common practice in many other countries

Your bias is showing, Japan Today. It is not common practice, and joint custody laws exist in very few countries actually.

Nice to see this isn't in English for once.

Electric cars are not zero-emission vehicles. They are just passing the emissions to the power plants.

The article fails to mention the 40,000 children working in cobalt mines for $1-2 per day to get the minerals required to make these.

Also, good luck having the grid support all of the vehicles that would need to be charged.

I swear, people are so easily deceived.

"You'll own nothing and be happy."

Gross.

Society runs on electricity. Everything has been built around it. Until that changes, the whole thing is just a house of cards ready to collapse at any time.

I'm sure that will stop them.

Attention-seeking much?

Why? It doesn't seem to work very well.

It's about time.

Enjoy the respite because when the new variant gets here, as it inevitably will, we will be back to where we were or worse. And it will be because a small portion of the population refuses to take a proven safe and effective vaccine.

So safe and effective that the double-vaxxed Bryan Adams got covid twice in the same month...

There are countries which have a higher vax rate than Japan that have more cases than Japan does. Nothing adds up.

Stay away from this poison.

Well, that's one way to stop the competition...

I smell a scapegoat coming...

"I thought this would happen at some point," said 44-year-old Takashi Yamaguchi, who works at a Thai restaurant in Osaka. "Pandemic measures remain inconsistent in stores, and there are still many people who don't wear masks when they go outside."

Wear them outside? Get out of here!

Takashi probably wears them to bed too...

ICU admissions are still at November levels and have been flat for two and a half weeks. There are only 41 people in the ICU in all of Tokyo.

Y'all can chill.

Michael Machida, enough with the lies. The new cases in Tokyo have been flat for the past 10 days at around 300/day. It's over.

This is pretty natural response. You can't expect everyone to follow these restrictions forever. We're only human.

Unequivocally yes! Smoking is disgusting.

3 Later-running trains is a bad idea. There are a ton of houses and apartments located next to train lines. I'd rather not be woken up by a train at 2am just so you can go out and drink more.

What is the name of the maiko?

Japan has previously mulled an annual time change like that in Europe or North America where the clocks go forward in spring and back in the autumn, but has never tried it.

This article is incorrect. Japan did have daylight savings. It was introduced by America during the occupation. Japan got rid of it in 1951 because they didn't like it.

This is the same thing as being led on by a woman, even if they don't want to call it that. "Will boyfriends" should be relabeled as "suckers" as they are wasting their time and money for other motivations that will never come to fruition.

I feel sorry for those guys.

This is racist and snobbish. Country of origin and language proficiency are not related.

If the problem is language proficiency then surely a non-Japanese who can speak Japanese properly should be able to make a reservation.

Ooh, I've been burned by #2 a few times! "Some time" is the best clue.

The PC isn't in trouble yet, but it will eventually disappear. Once a smartphone has as much storage space, RAM, and power as current PCs do, no one will need PCs anymore. Large screens and keyboards will always be necessary but the giant tower will eventually be replaced with smartphones themselves or other more portable devices.

I imagine one would just have to plug in their phone into a dock and have access to tactile input and a larger screen at their desks in the future. Since things will be much cheaper, I imagine this kind of interface will be far more widespread than just one location in your home.

Much like calculators that used to take up entire rooms and no longer do, our current computing power on PCs will be accessible anywhere in the future.

Haha, Abe says please and the economy is just supposed to fix itself. If he thinks anyone is going to fork out more cash after a tax hike, I have some beachfront property I'd like to sell him.

I can't believe this. Where is another petition we can sign to get this woman away from these stupid cops?
