Of course, EVERYTHING is Too Long, Did not Read (TLDR) for the distracted, stupidphone-addicted AHD attention-deficit hyperactive-disordered 5-second attention span (being generous) generation walking around glued into their little devices...

"What a choice you poor Americans' [sic] have."

The Greengrocer’s Apostrophe notwithstanding, then I tend to be in agreement...

oyatoi - "The song remains the same"...A brilliant piece of writing!

@FalseFlagSteve; Absolutely spot on! And your choice of 'forecastle' is brilliant!

If I recall correctly, the former principal of the kindergarten handed over control of the facility to his son, following this accident. Another factor was the absence of the regular bus driver on September 5 2022 (which was a Monday), and this necessitated the principal to drive the school bus. Although the reason for the absence of the regular driver has not been reported, it may have been a cost-cutting measure...

The suspected thief, Nemoto, was taking in nearly two hundred thousand per month, if this particular theft is average...

This development was planned from the beginning; it did not happen by accident. Look for those whom ultimately profited from the redevelopment...

Bizarre indeed; (well-spotted!) ...but why isn't the American dollar weakened by such instability in their leadership?

A poorly-written article indeed, in total contrast with the informative link provided by poster Bib at 08:14 am JST

...magnificent photographs!

[suggested photo caption] King Charles III: "Step right this way young fellow; I shall show you the way. Now then, let's fetch you a topper (Top Hat) shall we?"

"A blood-stained [sic] was found near the body..."

What was found near the body?

Moderator: Knife. Thanks for pointing that out.

"I wouldn't mind doing that part time and seeing the country."

Seeing the country becomes boring and monotonous after only a few hours, leaving you with stressful and tiring and dangerous work which is underappreciated and underpaid, as already mentioned...

"Mythical Japan is allways fascinating!"

Down-voted for the inability to correctly spell 'always', and for the fantastical naivety which continues to attract the cellphone-addicted herds of sheep clogging Haneda...

"Certainly not the UK, USA..."

But, but, but, America has burgers and fries...

However, he was detained 40 kilometers away in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture, at around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday."

He was most likely found by police standing in line in front of a pachinko parlour, waiting for the doors to open...

posted by 'aaronagstring': "For example, having one company with 500 employees, they split into 5 companies with 100 employees each, and shafted all their workers."

An excellent example! NOVA (conversation school chain) changed their name to G.education and did precisely the same...

According to The Japan News website, "...his car rear-ended another vehicle and overturned at a Ferrari racing event in Sportsland Sugo in Murata, Miyagi Prefecture."

It should be pointed out with heavy irony, that the photograph accompanying this story appears to show USED, not new vehicles loading onto a cargo ship in Yokohama Port. I can see at least one Volkswagen and two BMW which certainly were not manufactured in Japan...

"...a perfect world with luxuries such as flights to everywhere for the elderly..."

Are we assuming that "flights to everywhere" is a luxury? And are we also assuming the elderly should not be permitted to fly everywhere? Or anywhere? [Your quotations; not mine.]

"I was slightly familiar with the name, but that's about it."

This news is not about you.

"A dish with roast turkey breast Image": AP file

Why is there no rice in the dish shown in the photograph?

"As for Airbus existing, same could be said of Mercedes, Carl Benz if they didnt exist neither would Ford of [sic] GM"

What is 'Ford of GM'...?

The driver of the 'kei' minicar could not reasonably expect an oncoming vehicle to be traveling at more than double the posted speed limit; therefore was not neglectful and no fault should have been judged.

"Used to listen to FEN all the time when I first came to Japan!"

Yes, me too; I still remember listening to my very first Nihongo lesson while I was driving the company-owned Suzuki Alto..."IMA NANJI DESU KA? means, What time is it now?"

"And nationalists in Japan know that the Japanese language is key to keeping as many foreigners out as they can."

An perceptive and very insightful posting...!

Are Mister Bean's movies considered to be old enough?

"I'll be 55 when my wife gives birth, our first."

Congratulations to you!

"But when she moved back home after graduating college..."

Back home? Parent's home? Presumably she is not wasting any money on non-essential items such as RENT...

You can take the kids out of the country, but you cannot take the country out of the kids...

"Was bucketing down and it was old mugging sent out to buy milk,"

Please reassure me that it was NOT 2%...
