Posted in: Japan confirms 4th case of Omicron variant infection See in context
Omicron seems like great news if it replaces delta and doesn't kill people.
Hopefully the whole situation will become less intense and people can stop dividing themselves from others based on vaccine status and willingness to wear a mask.
The world needs less division and more willingness to accept others regardless of nationality, race or vaccine status.

Posted in: City living vs country living in Japan: Which is better? See in context
Rural areas are full of low self confidence people who cling together in "the group". Being a member of the group costs 6man per person per year and that money goes directly to the old men to buy copious amounts of alcohol which they drink at their club house where women are not invited.
If you opt out of the group you will be excluded and ignored.
You will never make a genuine friend with people who were born in the town, they are under too much pressure from the others to risk being excluded themselves for being friendly to you, your friends will be limited to those who moved into town as you did. That us no loss however as the people who moved in are generally open minded unlike the locals.

I feel for everyone involved, they are only kids and it is certainly a crime of passion but ordering online, waiting, receiving and then using a knife to kill somebody looks very bad on paper.
I feel these types of people have already given up on their own life and are prepared to face the punishment.
It's just so sad.

To solve world hunger you need less people or more food.
Meat is off the table if you want to cut emissions at the same time
So that leaves aggriculture, make more farms without cutting down trees. But what about housing?
You cannot have all these things at the same time therefore population reduction is the answer nobody wants to face.
