That's called Sharking on the perv sites. Usually a 2nd person is video taping when it happens, so be on the lookout for an accomplice.

Posted in: Japan COVID deaths 14 times that of flu after guidelines lifted See in context
The average lifespan in Japan is 80, just FYI. So people dying at 65 is a huge loss of lifetime. Most people live through the Flu, more people do not survive Covid. It also leaves lingering issues even if you survive it. I'll never understand the "business as usual" people who have to try to put down the risk so they can what? Cough in people's faces unmasked? A modicum of care for your fellow humans is apparently under-rated in today's narcissistic sociopath society. Idiots even attack people in the street over wearing masks that ARE PROTECTING THE PEOPLE ATTACKING THEM. Get over yourselves, you're not the main character. If you're worth less than a billion dollars you don't even exist in this society. And you certainly don't understand medical science, among other topics.

It's just polite, although the seat one really varies. First come first seated. Get there on time next time maybe?
Most dudes could do with a stand these days anyway though. Chonkers everywhere.

Sometimes when you hit chilly water suddenly you go into shock. If they were also not swimmers then it's easy to panic. Or it was a murder, who knows these days?

Re: Basically this whole thread
It's a pretty simple case of "Are they doing something Criminal" or not?
If they felt they belonged there it's strange they didn't go take a bath or get in the sauna or something.
So therefor they were either checking things out for the future, or doing something pervy. A phone check
and a background check to see if they have identified as female will tell immediately what was happening. Dudes sneak into places they shouldn't be all the time, sometimes in disguise and sometimes not.
Who does the genital check at the door? Drop trow, we gotta see what you're packing before entry! Nobody would go to a public spa with that kind of mentality.
There are virtually zero trans people in sports of any kind, and all scientific studies have shown that there's almost zero advantage to upending your entire life, taking a bunch of gender-swapping chemicals, and having surgeries to performance in sports. And this pursuit of "gender purity" is just making people falsely accuse anyone who is deemed and outlier, when in fact most of the "winners in the pure gender space" are usually just on steroids anyway. Looking at you Baseball, Football, Oxygen doping Bike racers, and basically every
athlete from Russia.
You know who has biological advantage in sports? Lots of people, people come in all sizes and shapes. Are we going to ban people from basketball because they were born 6 feet tall? But that's disadvantaging all the shorties! Sports are imaginary games we play to pass time and they are as meaningless as they are lucrative to the degree of capitalism they are run under. What designation you play under is as meaningless as who wins a pro wrestling match.

Weed hurts nobody legal, and illegal it drives profits for I assume Yakuz4. Or other forms of organized crime. The only reason it was illegal in Japan in the first place was because of western values imposed on the country after WW2. The west has softened on this stance, but Japan is stubbornly clinging to these ideals.

Nobody needs a wakeup call, China is a paper tiger and they are just trying to bully people to get them to forget it. Half their weapons won't even fire and the other half will be fired incorrectly by incompetent underpaid officers who only exist to graft from the state and bully civilians. If they try to take Taiwan every ship they own will be sunk by a 5000 dollar drone in about 3 days.
