Posted in: Iniesta reportedly pays back extra tax owed in Japan See in context

You will only pay tax in Japan when you are a resident. You will pay taxes to your government. No double tax treaties.

wallace

perhaps the taxes will be paid by the company who will sell my goods in Japan, right? I will pay taxes share from the part of the profit in my country?

Posted in: What do you think are some of the biggest mistakes single men or women make on their first date which usually torpedo any chance of a relationship? See in context

Being a narcissist/a psychopath/a sociopath.

being immature/unmannered/too eager/trying to be someone else.

either way, first date is just a way to see if you are compatible/what the other party expects if you are not theres no point trying hard to last till the next one. Dont waste each others time in vain.

Guys, you dont understand. This person has a serious problem. No psychologically healthy person ever makes fires to relieve stress except from psychopaths and arsonists. Left as he is, theres gonna be some big trouble one day. Perhaps he already started putting animals on fire. Soon I may become humans.

If Im not a resident in Japan but a freelancer or have a contract of partnership with a Japanese firm I will still pay taxes to Japanese authority while living abroad, right?

dogs bred for hunting

I didnt see where it is said in the article.

the most probable explanation they bred them for illegal sale and kept them in terrible conditions and with no care, no proper training or affection if not with beatings or starvation, thats why the dog was so aggrressive.

I used to know a person who bred dogs like that in poor conditions it was a crime against morality and God.

Posted in: An artful aftershock: Supporting Noto Peninsula earthquake recovery through the arts See in context

collecting money for survivors is a great idea.

but if you want help the survivors to recover psychologically I feel like nothing could do better than psychological drama play. they need to process the grief of losing family members, pets and houses, and Im not sure if just a concert or exhibition could ease that pain effectively.

Posted in: What are the most and least attractive hobbies for Japanese men and women? Survey investigates See in context

> Jumping around? Yeah, that really sucks

i suspect an attractive woman should be weak, somewhat clumsy, little silly/unitelligent, love to cook, to clean and be silent often and obedient and cute and skinny.

Engaging in sports implies she has a lot of strength and energy and may kick a man between his eyes if he starts behaving badly :) I recommend you watch more jdrama :) so yes sports is definitely out of question. On the other hand 13% is already hopeful, those 13% are probably nice guys to date :)

Posted in: What are the most and least attractive hobbies for Japanese men and women? Survey investigates See in context

i think this survey is messed up. hobbies or just bad habits, innocent preferences or harmful addictions?

somehow I feel that the list of unattractive 'hobbies' chosen by men only reflect their need for a woman to be convenient of cute only. There's no single one that reflect some individuality or uniqueness of another human being being a woman as well.

the women's list looks simplified as well. I dont mind a person not having some real interesting hobbies but perhaps if the respondents were given the list of some unusual choices this survey could have been more interesting indeed.

Posted in: 7-year-old boy dies after choking while eating school lunch See in context

I think the authorities missed the point of this incident

They seem to often do so, just read the recent article on Noto earthquake survivors who died from hypothermia.

Are they scared that they might do more damage if they try to save him? This is Japan after all. Good Samaritan is not a thing here.

I think its quite normal for non medical worker to be scared ina situation like this. Only psychopaths are not scared to make more damage. even with a proper training there's no guarantee for an average person to not be in a shock condition. A nurse should have been around though, with a proper training.

Posted in: Don't let it bug you - how not to worry See in context

Aaah. I wanna scream at psychological articles where 'the invited experts' are not even psychologists but anatomists. As for priests and monks its a very good idea to have a spiritual point of view included nut a bunch of psychologists is a must!

Stop, close your eyes, take a deep breath. Reflect, consider, meditate, pick up a rock and stare at it for 15 minutes a day

Now imagine. You have a situation at work and your brain is bursting with rumination, thoughts and acute emotions. Ideally, you need to stop rumination and slow down your nervous system. closing eyes and a deep breath okay but may not necessary make you calm down immediately and definitely not drive away your thoughts and then you jump into reflecting. Insane. with all that mess in your head. if anything you need to start with 15 minutes gray rock staring even then it doesn't guarantee you wont stop replaying your situation in your head while staring at it. The safest thing is to talk it out with a person who is empathetic, close to you not a hostess or a drinking pal in a bar, ideally - a psychologist. Just talking it out makes frustration go away, afterwards you will be able to analyze the situation more clearly.

Worry, in his opinion arises largely from a distorted view of the world.

Oh, come on now. It can't be that easy, can it? :D

Honestly, an experienced psychologist would cry tears here and not from joy.

Prehistoric humanity evolved beset by dangers. Anxiety was a survival tool, a survival prerequisite. The calm, easygoing, trusting and relaxed got eaten. We’ve outgrown our primitive past, maybe, but we haven’t shed it.

Is there a point to talk about prehistoric humans here now? Biological evolutionary theories are nice and stylish but that has nothing to do with a plethora of psychological knowledge that can direct people in a much more logical flow of thought.

Life’s virtual relocation online didn’t begin the “information age” but heightened it to the point that the world of nature has come to seem very remote indeed.

So that's what it is all about! :D

mister Anatomist-sempai clearly clearly feels the need to criticize younger generation.

A distinctively Japanese trait, he says, is an unwillingness to “cause trouble to others” – the familiar Japanese word “meiwaku.” This unwillingness he explains as arising from the extreme density of Japan’s population.

from the point of psychology traditional Japanese culture elements such as keeping everything to oneself not to bother, conforming, not being sincere or direct about your views or emotions, etc are all very similar to behavioral patterns caused by covert narcissism.

They prefer to go home after work and drink on their own time. So that’s that vent closed.

And Im sure Mr Anatomist-sempai is very very sad with those young people who have enough boundaries and courage not to go with the flow and go home when they have a full right to do so and not to interact with drunken boss\colleague harrassment :D

Venting has much better and safer spaces to be expressed at.

Anxiety, Kato explains, paralyzes the left, thinking side, leaving the right, emotional side to make us feel the way we feel when we are troubled – like the world is coming to an end.

Anxiety causes our mind to switch from prefrontal lobe cortex (that gets shut down) to amygdala, that is to switch from our executive function brain to survival brain. If you are in a state of worry, anxiety or fear know that your amygdala is ruling your life now, not a creative prefrontal lobe.

Posted in: Noto earthquake hypothermia deaths spark public awareness drive See in context

Heat escapes from your body, not just out your head and neck. 

most body heat escapes through head and neck.

elderly people seem to have poorer blood circulation thats why they tend to feel cold quicker.

however, there is a phenomenon where people are disconnected from their body impulses and tend to ignore their physical needs. Also dont forget about dementia when the consistent care and support is needed. I bet lot of them should have been in specialized care centers but due to financial problems just stayed at their homes. Now they are in a shelter (which is another warning sign that they dont have anyone to take them from there like children or grandchildren or relatives) where they are left unattended and unsafe but no one seems to notice that in the article. They just say ‘please take care of yourself’, ‘please put on clothes’. Pretending not to see the root of the problem.

 I don't distinguish between paying for sex and not paying for it (where it is legal). I'm OK with either.

you okay with having sex for money if you are married and you okay for having free sex with a married person as well? Is that ehat you mean?

Steve

Self discipline and empathy is something we learn as we age,

those people just dont have the ability to understand the importance and value of empathy and selfdiscipline. Forever stuck to be slaves of their instincts. I dont say I excuse their behaviour but its better not to be so judging. As one person once said ‘it could be we in their stead’.

as for me, Japanese or not, in case of cheating Id rip their hairs out of their head(or shaved them bold)) and file divorce but lets not call them vermin, okay?:)

Adultery should be a criminal offence and those paying for sex should be named and shamed publicly.

i think you are too extreme

also calling someone a vermin is not a good choice since all are equally succeptible to sin, its just you were lucky to be born more resilient and they were not. Many things also come from unloving failed family systems as well as spiritually more negatively loaded generational cycles. God blessed you if you are not aware how hard it is to break them.

Because these are paid services that involve no emotional attachment, they are generally not considered cheating by some people in Japan

Just recently I have rewatched a Japanese youtuber video where he asks random people in Tokyo about cheating and how often Japanese cheat and what is cheating and if prostitution is cheating. Guess how many answered what. So its not 'some' people it looks like 90-95% of people is okay with cheating if there's no emotion involved(yeah tell me about having intercourse with someone with no emotions) and that visiting a prostitute is not cheating (and the women said the same too).

Thankfully the young Japanese are changing and following their feelings more nowadays.

It seems like the younger generation is just continuing 'the tradition'.

Its kinda hypocritical that cheating is acceptable but when they learn that some public figure has a furin they fire them or sue them or whatever. so, what's the difference?

I'll take my bet and say that resorting to satisfy passion with another person in Japanese society has to do with the fact that a wife (for whatever historical cultural reasons) is only seen as a socially approved figure to take care of household and produce children and not a person to be intimate with both emotionally and physically thus all inner desires are hidden and suppressed and can be realised on the side only.

However, young Japanese people nowadays cheat a lot too which cannot really be explained with the cultural thing theory. only by submission to carefree promiscuity and lack of integrity, complete disbelief in qualities of high order and desire to fill the inner emptiness with fleeting shallow experiences.

aside from that, if you really want to protect children, all should go through a psychological screening to detect cluster B patterns.

however since Japan has a problem recognizing the importance of that, weeding out the convicts will do just as much.

sorry but I have a huge problem with russian intelligence operatives getting pleased and satisfied while their country is killing innocent Ukrainian people and sending their own people to death in Ukraine. at least splurt some tomato juice over them.
