Posted in: Man United loses 3-0 at home to Tottenham as Fernandes is red-carded See in context

Excellent from spurs !

I'm hoping for more consistency this season, but with son out, it's obvious they are lacking a natural finisher. I wonder how harry cane would have done with ange's style of play.

Man U were so bad. They need to get rid of Ten Hag, he's had 2 and a bit seasons (and squillions of pounds).

Dwight McNeil struck twice in the second half as Everton beat Crystal Palace 2-1 to end their winless start to the league season, just days after the Goodison Park takeover by a group led by American billionaire Dan Friedkin.

Excellent result for Everton !

Where's Steve?

Honestly, VR headsets are novelty items that you'll get bored of really quickly. I only ever use it when we have guests over that have never tried it. It's just another expensive thing that you'll never use.

Posted in: Japan navigating diplomatic repercussions over stance on death penalty See in context

In my experience living in Japan, (over 20 years and counting), I have found Japanese people to be lacking a little bit of empathy when it comes to how people who can no longer contribute to society live their final years. I was shocked the first time I heard "I wish she'd hurry up and die", because saying that about a family member in my country would be one of the worst things you could say.

I was thinking that the media was being a little harsh on her ... Until I actually watched the performance.

It honestly reminded me of a Key and Peele sketch.

Everton ... That's just crazy.

3 goals against them in less than 10 minutes.. they actually might go down this season.

Posted in: Man arrested for groping girl on subway, spraying bodily fluid on her See in context

Tozai Line at 8:15 in the morning is jam-packed. It is not easy to see what people are doing with their hands unless they're up in the handles.

I really hope spray doesn't mean ejaculate. But if that's what he did then there's no refuting the evidence.

Posted in: Osaka police sergeant arrested for assaulting station security guard after drinking party See in context

Yes, Yokoyama was personally at fault. But there is also a culture of drinking to abandon in this country that is really problematic. I wonder if maybe the sober life is just one of so much “gaman” and arbitrary rules that the drunken mind goes wild.

Really?

51 years old, and doesn't know where his alcohol limit is?

Don't make excuses for people, especially ones in position of power that should know better

Posted in: Zelenskyy visits border area from where Ukrainian forces entered Russian territory See in context

Sorry not majority, but around 30% are volunteers.

Don't forget, Putin wants all of Ukraine, the only reason he doesn't have it is because Ukrainians choose not to roll over and die

Posted in: Zelenskyy visits border area from where Ukrainian forces entered Russian territory See in context

doesn’t care about sacrificing his countries citizens

Majority are volunteers fighting for their country's freedom.

Yes!

But then we get a few scorches, as is normal after a typhoon hits.

Posted in: Powerful typhoon moves toward Tokyo, disrupting transport See in context

Lovely weather here, very sunny but too hot as usual, lol

> Strange to think not far away there is awful weather, don’t you think?

Geographically speaking, Japan is a long country. Half of the typhoons take a path from the south west, hitting Okinawa, Kyushu, Osaka and then Tokyo.

Other times, they take a path from the south, like the current typhoon.

This is why you have nice weather, and I don't.

Posted in: Ukraine says it has taken more ground and prisoners during its advance into Russia border region See in context

do you really believe they are going to be able to build fortifications and logistics to hold the territory?

I don't believe they can, no.

They'll have to withdraw at some point, but this is a win for the reason I wrote above.

Posted in: Ukraine says it has taken more ground and prisoners during its advance into Russia border region See in context

This is a distraction for the daily losses south of there by Ukraine. There is no release of pressure from what’s happening there for Ukraine, troops and equipment are being deployed from inside Russia to deal with it.

This is a distraction, but it's a distraction for Russia.

Putin now has to add cross-border attacks into the equation when considering troop deployment (something Russia didn't need to think about just 1 week ago).

Posted in: Ukraine says it has taken more ground and prisoners during its advance into Russia border region See in context

Opening a new front in the north to take pressure off of the troops in the East was a good move.

Who was the person on here saying it was a military blunder and compared Zalenski to Hitler ?

Was it the same person now deflecting with posts about Nord stream ?

Zelensky threw his best troops into a trap and the Russians are patiently waiting and hoping he sends more.

A trap?

What are you on about ?

I think a referendum in Kursk is needed.

Let the people currently living there decide their future.

Please read my post one more time, I'm just stating that there are more winnable medals since Russia isn't in the Olympics anymore.

You didn't need to send a gif of yourself crying.

Posted in: What is Japan's 'megaquake' warning? See in context

I'm definitely on edge this week. Restocked my emergency gear just in case.

When a megaquake happens it's likely to kill hundreds of thousands of people—a powerful and extensive tsunami.

LOL, really ? You don't say !

Posted in: Japanese athlete says jewelry, cash stolen from room at athletes village See in context

If you are right, and thieves can identify Japanese tourists from other nationalities,m why would they do that?!

It's not a popular thing to say, but Japanese are easy targets ... It really is that simple. On top of that, they carry expensive accessories and electronics, and most probably cash

Posted in: Japanese athlete says jewelry, cash stolen from room at athletes village See in context

Honestly, Japanese people stand out when abroad. When traveling around Asia, the market traders look at me and say "hello", then look at my wife and say "これはやすいよ". They can tell who is Japanese and I'm sure thieves and scammers know too

France is the number tourist destination in the world, 100million+ tourists every years. It's a magnet for these all sorts of scum unfortunately. As a Brit, I'm happy I had many chances to holiday there when I was young, and when it was nice

Posted in: 71-year-old shoplifter says he wanted to be arrested See in context

This is actually not that uncommon. It happens more in the winter when people are cold and hungry. They know they are getting a roof over their heads and food if they go to prison.

It's a good thing he only shoplifted and didn't try to do anything violent
