Politik Kills comments

I’m ok, but reading the comments on my hometown’s page on Fakbok is embarrassing.

How can people go through life not knowing the difference between ‘their’, ‘there’ and ‘they’re’?!

And ‘should of’ instead of ‘should have’?!

And the complete disregard for any kind of punctuation is just mind blowing.

Unbelievable. When the general consensus is to drive 20kms over the officially designated speed limit, expecting people to slow down is ridiculous.

When I first moved here I drove at the designated speed limit. Within minutes my wife was yelling at me “what are you doing?!” and a line of cars behind me beeping. I quickly learned that designated speed limits here are advisable and not enforced.

Jeez, pot/kettle much?

Ignore anyone who equates ‘political correctness’ with ‘woke’. They are just trying to hijack the conversation to push their ignorant bias against what ‘woke’ really is. It is not ‘political correctness’.

Buy directly from the provider. Shop locally. Invest in your community. Don’t send your money to overseas companies.

I’ve been stung by a fly by night Chinese company online. Never again.

My local 24hr MaxValu has just become total self service, following in Daiso‘s dubious direction.

I joined the cue of angry customers waiting to use the 3(!) terminals for cash purchases.

Hasn’t he done enough damage already?!

any time a government releases an app for anything, you can guarantee it’ll be absolute rubbish. Governments are incapable of doing these kind of things. Meanwhile a 12 year old nerd in his bedroom can make an app that actually does work in the real world.

Oh America, you will be on the wrong side of this in the history books, if there will be any because this stance will lose the November election for Biden, ushering in the worst of all possible scenarios.

I usually scroll past this food section because it invariably features the most hideous concoctions by one franchise or another. This is no different. Don’t know why I stopped here.

This is just weird.

A worm tried to eat his brain!!

I heard it died of starvation.

Oh grow up!

But there is no opposition. LDP will survive this because they are the only party in a position to govern, sadly.

meanwhile yes, Kishida is getting more stamps in his passport, but he does seem to be kicking some goals with US. I want to write him off but he has inherited a 5h!tshow seemingly through no fault of his own.

@kurisupisu

exactly. These settler animals only know violence and escalation.

America will be on the wrong side of history if they back Israel even more. Rather than trying to mediate, naturally the greatest warmongers want to choose a side. This is Israel’s responsibility, they started it, let them try to finish it (with Iran that is).

Wow, American discovers another culture. Big news.

Lots of urging, considering, eyeing in Japanese bureaucracy. Just to avoid actually taking a side or making a decision. That’s our taxes getting flushed down their toilet.

Trump only speaks in superlative con artist word salad, so good luck Takao san!

A good police force is one that catches more criminals than it employs.

graffiti from my hometown many years ago.

I have played Yamaha drums for my whole life because the hardware was all manufactured in the motorcycle plants. Very strong, well designed.

All you can eat of the worst possible food. How American.

It will be bad news for the whole world.

Does the ‘esteemed’ professor mean Kamala Harris? As she is the next in line, and Michelle Obama is not even on the same page as any of them. Both women of colour, easy for a Japanese oyaji to get confused I guess.

Sadly, the creative types, those that create the music, the hits, the attached emotional connections etc, are not business minded generally. And so the sharks in suits step in, for they can smell a fortune to be made off the hard work and genius of someone less predatory than them. Hence, Universal. If I had 15 seconds of one of my songs going nuts on TikTok, I would be ecstatic. It only generates interest in the artist, which leads to possible increased sales.

How many elementary school students do I have in my eikaiwai who have written their names in Kunrei?! Nearly all! The dumbest idea ever invented, and of course still defended by the dinosaurs who run the bureaucracy here.

Change is coming! Come on oyajis, get the hell with it!

Because for so many ‘men’ here, no real woman will be as perfect as their Hatsune Miku type fantasy virtual anime manga 2D 3D non-real robot imaginary life partners.

What?

Who thinks it’s Morrison? Or Barnaby Joyce?

Because we’ve never had a leap year before
