Let's all just hope AI isn't learning from my shenanigans.

The Japanese love embarrassing themselves on the world stage; it provides a consistent source of light amusement in otherwise dark times.

Posted in: Man arrested for entering women’s toilet in park, says he wanted to see their buttocks See in context

Japanese public lavatories do not alas present one upon entry with the cornucopia of buttocks this gentleman expected, despite the repeat visits.

Posted in: Only 6% of Japanese workforce feel engaged; among lowest in world: Gallup See in context

These anonymous surveys merely reflect the passive aggressive nature of most Japanese. I wouldn't read too much into it. They take great pleasure inflicting pain/damage when they think they can get away with it.

Posted in: Japan's military needs more women, but it's still failing on harassment See in context

The imposition of The Agenda is well and truly underway in Japan. Rhambo is getting his second wind. Strap in for the inevitable decline, it was nice while it lasted.

Posted in: As hip-hop grows in China, its performers seek a voice that reflects their lived experiences See in context

What other type of experience is there aside from a lived one? It's a strange, redundant term that has appeared from the globalhomo (as in homogeneous) zeitgeist.

Posted in: Rengatei: venerable Ginza eaterie is birthplace of 'yoshoku' classics like 'tonkatsu' and 'omuraisu' See in context

I often have my lunch at Rengatei. I'm the brutish, worn-out gentleman sitting in the corner with the one-thousand-yard stare, scarred face and nervous tic. Please say hello.

If you are a man with money or enjoy even a semblance of fame, have nothing to do with women, especially western women. If your professional capacity dictates interaction, do so concisely, with witnesses and in open areas. Again, interactions should be limited and public.

"Inner Hoe Uprising" perfectly encapsulates the decline of western culture.

Posted in: As Google eyes Australia exit, Microsoft talks Bing with PM See in context

I've been slowly moving out of the Google ecosystem for some time. I've been using DuckDuckGo, Brave, Authy, Spotfify and Protonmail for a year now and haven't looked back. I only use Google for Maps, Android, and Photos. These are going to be three tough ones.

Posted in: Tokyo reports 556 coronavirus cases; nationwide tally 2,320 See in context

Considering there are no recorded influenza cases and related deaths this year, how do these numbers compare? Does anyone have the figures?

Posted in: Tokyo reports 393 coronavirus cases; nationwide tally 1,792 See in context

I wonder if influenza numbers are still at zero.

Posted in: Some House Republicans join impeachment push; Pence says he will not move to expel Trump See in context

A year from now, the established elites that use the left as useful idiots will have: opened the borders and flooded America with "dreamers"; tanked the economy through excessive spending and poor trade deals; defunded the police, leading to a startling rise in crime; started numerous foreign interventions and conflicts; morphed schools into re-education camps; censored all news sources so they can manipulate the narrative; jacked taxes to obscene levels; and kowtowed to China whenever possible. Their businesses will continue to grow and their coffers swell in off-shore tax havens.

Look beyond the kabuki and invest accordingly.

Relevant help for the struggling male from p.176 of 'Debrett's Guide for the Modern Gentleman':

She's endlessly fascinated by other people's relationships (solution: feign interest).

She expects you to know why she's upset (solution: pretend you do).

She will nag you (solution: ignore it).

The hospital down the road from me, one of the big ones earmarked for COVID support, has been a ghost town since last summer.

Posted in: Suga considers state of emergency in Tokyo, vicinity; says Japan will start vaccinations in late Feb See in context

So many of you seem almost fanatical in your zeal to shut down one of the world's largest economies and submit to the same authoritarian control we're seeing exercised overseas. The Japanese for the most part are a highly responsible, civilised race, and deserve greater trust than is apparent in these comments. What is your end game? The death of the F&B industry? Can you not be self-reliant without the express direction of a higher authority? Or perhaps I wonder if you enjoy seeing others you perceive as being wrong chastised, punished, and controlled. Where was your voice when thousands were dying of influenza every year? You would find far greater comfort back home in the west no? I hear the UK has a very fun lockdown you could be part of.

Posted in: 8 injured after car, motorbike collide in Yokohama; car driver arrested See in context

Chaps, it doesn't take rocket science to prove old people are slower than young people and it's certainly not worth the time arguing about. There is however an argument to be made about how the experience and learned reactions of older drivers, alongside a lower appetite for risk, often leads to better outcomes, hence insurance scaling back with age.

I expect every car waiting at a junction to turn in on me. Cars are the lowest common denominator on the roads and take little skill to operate. Fellow bikers, treat cagers as a threat, expect them to make the wrong choices, and prepare accordingly.

Japan's unmarried, sexual minorities forced to use foreign sperm banks

What's a "sexual minority"?

"I want to tell her 'The main point is I am happy you were born, and that is why I wanted this so much.'"

This comes across as utterly selfish.

Unlike Dunkirk and Interstellar, the latter of which being one of the greatest films made in our generation, Tenet is a flawed masterpiece.

This has to be a joke. They're the ONLY airline in APAC not to hang my suit up for me in one of the vertical lockers.

Singapore Airlines are superior in every way.

The big wheel keeps on turning

On a simple line, day by day

The earth spins on its axis

One man struggles while another relaxes.

Posted in: Teenage girl's suicide highlights toxic side of social media See in context

Social media is representative of the devolution of western culture and society. It poses an insidious risk to younger generations.

Posted in: Viewers 'hungry' for LGBT+ movies, says 'Happiest Season' director Clea DuVall See in context

Oh look, another movie about people who wish to celebrate the fact their sexuality doesn't involve procreation. Stunning and brave.

Get woke, go broke.

Numbers don't lie. Identity politics does.

Posted in: Tokyo reports 327 new coronavirus cases; nationwide tally 2,025 See in context

Based on statistics, and not an opinion: there have been less COVID-19 related deaths to date than flu-related in past seasons.

I find it very bizarre that so many want to hide at home, spend their time outside rebreathing CO2, and then stick a relatively-untested vaccine in their arm.

Even more sinister is the censorship. Let's see how long this post lasts.

Posted in: Battered but unbowed by coronavirus, Tokyo's gay district forges stronger ties See in context

"Plus it's where we LGBT make the rules; straights who come here have to obey."

What does this even mean? We suffer from a growing, vocal minority in society that is utterly obsessed with, and whose identity appears to be defined by, sexuality. Why the need to broadcast to the known universe that you harbour a predilection for shagging x, y, or z. Very few of us care. You are making yourselves victims and then reveling in the victimhood.

I don't go around telling all and sundry that my life is defined by "dat ass". Oh wait...

Posted in: Mother arrested for drowning her 2 children in bathtub See in context

I'm pretty confident that I could suffer through a generous helping of first-world "depression" and "trauma" and NOT hold my own children under water until they die.

This is incomprehensible, aberrant and criminal behavior, which should be punished to the full extent of the law.

It is too late for "understanding", and if you disagree, take up your argument with the two children.

Posted in: Have you been eating out at restaurants much recently as coronavirus cases surge? See in context

Yes, every day for lunch, every couple of days for supper. I also have a business breakfast about once a fortnight.

Uber Eats is overpriced. They have only ever delivered my food cold and their cyclists are a menace on the roads.

Posted in: Japanese firms to promote common infrastructure for cashless payments See in context

A cashless society is a thinly-veiled attempt to monitor, trace, and tax your money. Everything will be permanently recorded on a central database and is yet another loss of liberty and freedom to big business and their govt lackeys. Why do you think there's such a push for it in Japan? The amount of untaxed cash sitting in bedroom safes in Japan is staggering and the government wants it. Be careful what you wish for as you may not like it once you have it.
