ooly comments

Overcrowded busses should signal more busses. I've met so many people from Kyoto that have left a bad taste in my mouth and this knucklehead mayor seems like he'd be another one. Tourists should boycott Kyoto and see how they like that?!

Come on JT, calling a 25 year old WOMAN a youngster?! Child??!

What pathetic writing; get real!

Yes crypto is a bubble but that doesn’t mean crypto day traders can’t make tonnes of money in the meantime.

Any one of the long-time HODLers (Saylor @MSTR, Musk@TSLA, Dorsey@SQ) will refute that comment and tell you the way to get rich is to HODL. Day-trading is not the way to go unless you’re a true pro and that goes for day-trading in the stock market as well.

Watching BTC & ETH go to the moon. Retirement here I come!

Anyone in this thread dissing on Musk and Texas had better do their homework. Texas has been ranked as one of the best states to live in for some time now. California, on the other hand has become a cesspool or crime, taxes and homelessness. Elon Musk, as whacky as he is, is a genius and an incredible innovator.

I hope you're not suggesting Raducanu skidded on purpose, and demanded a time-out to stop that bleeding just so that she could take a 'breather' on purpose.

No Pukey2, nowhere in my comment do I insinuate anyone skidded on purpose. I suggest you brush up on your reading skills. I was simply explaining why Martinez most likely spoke to the ump to help someone who had commented earlier understand the "significance" of Fernandez speaking to the aforementioned ump. It's quite clear for me to see that you are trying to instigate something here when there's absolutely nothing to see. Move on...people like you deserve zero attention, so I won't be continuing this. By the way, you chose an apt moniker. It suits you well. So long...

Not sure what the significance of this is though: “Fernandez — a 19-year-old left-hander from Canada ranked 73rd — spoke to chair umpire Marijana Veljovic.”

The significance of it is Raducanu stalling for 4 minutes to take a breather for a bloody knee that should have been patched up in 1 minute. You can be certain that Martinez brought the stall tactic to the attention of the umpire.

This unfortunate situation happened to a dear friend of mine here in Japan 20 years ago. He was in his early sixties and had just started driving a taxi after his business went under. A few months into the job, he suffered a massive stroke and his vehicle went off the road into the guardrails. Fortunately, no one was hit and the passenger only sustained minor bruising but he passed away shortly thereafter in the hospital.

People commenting with ageist comments about people in their 60s must not have lived long enough to understand that 60 is not very old and that medical emergencies like an aneurism can happen to people even in their 30s.

Why is this even “news”? It’s a ridiculous story that has been going on and on for far too long. Shame on JT for giving it so much attention.

Sure, a plain jane Mizuno model that you can buy at Sports Depot or whatever is probably around 30k. But I don't think it's out of the question for a high-end professional model to be worth 100k. (Although, it's very likely that Wada got the glove for free as part of an endorsement deal.)

Yeah, you’re right. I just checked pro models and they run 7-8万円. Then with all the bells and whistles…

And he most certainly is sponsored by the company so his gloves are freebies.

It’s hard getting old…I wrote my first comments thinking back to the gloves I bought 35 years ago when I played ball!

aftersale VALUE is ¥100,000

No no no…glove is worth ¥30, 000..

In my opinion i still don't get the appeal of this whole thing. 

If you don’t get the appeal of crypto it’s exactly because - you just don’t get it. How about doing some research and then try saying that?

…a society where Japanese and foreign nationals live harmoniously.

Who would pen such an unnatural sentence? This article is, plain and simple, propaganda.

When will these upskirt guys ever learn? What a total and complete loser. At least he’ll have plenty of time to reflect upon his idiocy recovering from his self-inflicted injuries in the hospital.

Water pistol or not- she’d already be 6 feet under in many other countries.

My sister has a beagle and it’s dumb as a loaf of bread.

The idiot husband was probably drunk as a skunk and passed out. Then the mother and son decided to restrain him further...I applaud them. I imagine those commenting about the wife's cold-blooded behavior condone the husband's domestic violence...femicide...yeah, why not! Give your head a shake!

The headline is misleading: Japan likely to hit COVID-19 herd immunity in Oct: researcher

It should read: Japan NOT likely to hit COVID-19 herd immunity until Oct: researcher

I’ve heard there are plans for a GoToOlympics campaign he’s currently working on in close collaboration with JTB, Dentsu and Asahi. 25% off on tickets and all the Asahi Super Dry you can drink at the Olympic venue.

"There are many times we need to talk business over drinks. That kind of communication is necessary to do business," said 48-year-old Motoki Mori

Or you could just learn how to say what you really want to say without depending on half a dozen chu-hi or Hoppy. Why does communication in this land have to be so complicated??!

What an apt name...Hari Nada...like the missing needle you're trying to find in the haystack. Just like the charge of guilty Nissan and the system is trying to conjure up on Ghosn out of thin air. Laughable.

*I just wonder why Ghosn felt like he had no choice and fled to Lebanon. What could make that his best option? *Are you serious?

Uhhhm...just maybe because he most certainly would have been found guilty in the kangaroo court they offer here?

How about this JR: All last trains are moved forward to 7 or 8 pm pm thus forcing companies across the board to allow workers to leave for home and spend time with their family. This might also help to increase newborns for 2021 (and/or increase divorce rates).

The court system is a joke. Child-care/daycare is a joke. Way to go Japan!

Whoever was working the register that night must have been complicit to this crime. There's no way anyone with even half a brain in their head would not become suspicious of this behavior...good grief.

To the government:

build many more affordable (public) daycare centers

pay daycare workers living salaries (and offer benefits)

create a variety of financial incentives for having kids

create and strictly enforce "overwork" related laws

It's not brain science

While the exemption has NOTHING to do with your average eikaiwa teacher and is limited to trained, professional teachers at international schools, most holding a Masters degree in Education or some other professional qualification beyond a 4-year undergraduate degree, it is still infuriating. That the government struck a deal with one particular group of trained professionals, yet does not allow others and especially permanent residents the same privilege is asinine. As ExJourno pointed out: An international teacher is NOT the highest priority in this scenario. What about university professors, what about business people, what about the average Joe, what about all the non-Japanese who pay taxes and have spouses, kids, and homes here that they need to come back to? It was a very poorly thought out decision to allow one select group an exemption...I'm hoping this blows up.

If he were a true prince he'd be holding the door open for the horizontally challenged people trying to board the train!

Anyone voting Divinda down doesn’t know the rules!
