Keto and Paleo diets are usually pushed by the same types who fall for the conspiracy theories etc.

Despite evidence to the contrary, they drone about in the same tedious way as everything else.

A friend did the Paleo diet and despite his doctor telling him it was his diet causing repeating kidney stones, he refused to believe it. What a tit.

If he so rich, why him? Why not someone with some class or with some better singing chops neither this guy has.

Look at the picture. He has a fatty beard, mullet and a terrible jacket. Money doesn't buy you good taste.

Dbsaiya...

the definition of a sport is 'An activity involving physical exertion and skill esp. one regulated by set rules or customs in which an individual or team competes against another or others.'

Thus your comment is of the incorectingnessness.

Cyberattack? Japan again?

Japan? If you are unaware that cyber attacks are happening constantly in every country right now, I think you may need to update your security policy.

Don't worry. We have The New Zealand Navy to protect us now.

Their new Pavlova Cannon will launch meringue-based desserts at the Chinese aggressors causing all manner of inconveniences.

Himeji castle looks best from a distance.

I suggest that all foreign tourists find an appropriate convenience store to frame it with and take your 'photos that you will never look at again.'

Some individuals just can't seem to move on from 2020. How sad. Covid - and associated conspiracies - is still in their every thought.

The psychological profile of people who believe conspiracies points to a lower average IQ.

I am afraid we just have to put up with their scared rants online and then ignore them.

Posted in: Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome cases hit record high in Japan See in context

I am a survivor of necrotizing fasciitis.

It isn't nice.

30cm wound, emergency debriding with a laser with little anesthetic, then a cocktail of antibiotics and one month's negative pressure therapy in a specialist wound unit.

I was in my late 30s at the time without any health problems.

As they said, the problem isn't the initial infection, it's the speed at which it progresses.

Many doctors don't notice the signs. Luckily I had a very good buy who did a CT scan straight away and noticed gas pockets in the infection - a sign of it turning bad.

Posted in: Far-right parties make big gains in European Parliament elections See in context

In the past it was the Jews.

This time around it is immigrants or muslims.

It's not just the far right though, the far left is guilty of it, too.

Create an enemy, dehumanize them, then fan the flames.

Don't fall for the typical tactics from either side.

From an American point of view, if either of them get into power they will surely remove your freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, right to keep and bear arms and most other things you hold true. Far left or far right.

Posted in: Shibuya Ward to extend night street alcohol drinking ban all year-round See in context

Nobody needs to drink on the street. There are so many bars and eateries.

It's nothing to do with conspiracy theories about attacking young people, most first world countries ban open street drinking.

@wasabi

Because people are climbing in the dark. Poorer visibility and lower temperatures lead to more problems.

A purely political outdated move that in the end affects the whales only.

Nobody wants to eat that skanky meat anyway. All to keep a few old boys in their amakudari positions.

They are waiting until after the G7 and G20 meetings.

The strong dollar is affecting other currencies, so I guess they are waiting for pressure from several countries on the US before making any decisions.

...or they are just a useless bunch of eejits.

Everybody is assuming he has dirty cadbury boulevard.

Like any car owner is about their car, he is obviously very proud of his prison purse and probably keeps it spotless. Thus he can display his immaculate bike rack around town much to the delight of the locals.

It is indeed a sign of a poor economy when Japan's vibrant enema community is forced to use public facilities to obtain rectal entertainment.

On the bright side, I see a possible script for Wim Wender's Perfect Days 2 about a man who achieves happiness through naked bum cheek antics.

As the old saying goes, judge a man's character on the state of his lavatory.

I never visit somebody's house or business without my blue light torch and bacteria testing kit. If I discover stains on the walls or high levels infection I know to take them as a bounder and to vacate the premises immediately.
