Posted in: 7-Eleven removing storefront ashtrays across Tokyo See in context

even the 100 yen shops sell those portable, spring-loaded, handheld ashtrays that one can carry in one's pocket/bag. there's no need for convenience stores to offer storefront ashtrays. #personalresponsibility

what the article fails to mention is that he was suspended with pay so now he has a whole year to go out and spend this check on encounters with underage girls

the age of consent in japan is 20 years old. in brazil it's 12 years old for girls. perhaps he should apply for brazilian citizenship.
