Posted in: Japan toughens rules on products sold online by foreign sellers See in context

Safety standards are fine, but how does this help anything:

‘In the case of a violation, the name of the person responsible in Japan for the product will also be made public.’

?

Mr.Jon Brown is responsible for the faulty toasters made in China that caught fire!

So what? He changes his business name and sells gas cookers.

Posted in: 45% of Japanese living abroad feel lonely: gov't study See in context

it's o.k.

If you did this survey with any nationality you'd probably see a similar figure.

Cultural and family circumstances play a big part. My brothers Japanese wife in Australia hangs out with her son. My wife and I here in Tokyo hang out with each other for the most part with the occasional visit with our closest friends separately.

Isn’t this exactly what we don’t want to be using AI for?

Reduce the tax burden. Decrease working hours...or at least adjust them to match the countries you do business with. Abandon the company is your guardian. Allow people to go home when their tasks are completed. Regulate working hours and conditions. Sit back and Chill as Japanese people start procreating again.

Posted in: 46% in Japan have issues interacting with foreign co-workers: survey See in context

It’s fine. This is a problem that is taking care of itself.

Within a few decades the population will have been outgrown by the forign resident population, as they tend to have larger families than Japanese.

Then we’ll just have ‘foreigners’ complaining about other foreign residents.

It’s pretty amazing how completely in synch she is with her audience. Her lyrics could come straight from most of their private diaries; that’s not to say it’s easy to write those kind of songs.

I think what I like most about Taylor is how she completely freaks out all my old dinasaur rock friends! Hahaha!
