🇯🇵 Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi gives opinion on mass immigration: “Allowing population to decline would be far worse than welcoming skilled and hardworking immigrants from diverse cultures to fill our labor needs and drive innovation. Protecting GDP growth and economic vitality is more important than clinging to outdated cultural isolation. We can solve our birth rate challenges while embracing immigration as a strength — diverse talent makes Japan stronger, more competitive, and richer. A dynamic, open Japan benefits everyone.” Do you agree? 1. yes 2. no

@raigeki_iii @pixelprayer I had just came to say this. They’ve added bosses like this to other FF games after 8, but they never did it as well. I was so proud of myself when I finally won this battle as a kid. That “proof of omega” was my pride and joy.

@pixelprayer Final Fantasy VIII, Omega Weapon was a tough optional super boss.

What game is this?

@strawhats I so badly want this song as a ring tone.

@japan_nobunaga Where I live in Wisconsin, I could leave my car running while I went into the store until just a few years ago. Suddenly it all changed overnight. Now I don’t even like to go anywhere unarmed.

In Japan, people sleep on the train. Bag on their lap. Phone in their hand. Wallet visible in their pocket. Drunk salarymen at midnight. Schoolgirls coming home from cram school. Grandmothers dozing past their stop. Not because nobody is watching. Because nobody is reaching. Think about the last time you fell asleep in public and didn't wake up checking your pockets. Most countries can't do this. Japan does it every day on every train in every city. Quietly. Without a single sign telling people to behave.

@WildSentences Patient: “I’ll still have one, right?” Doc: “yes. You’ll have one left.” Patient: “are you even listening?!”

@RinoTheBouncer My sister was inconsolable during her dark side playthrough of KotOR.

Who else can relate?😅🚀

@WillofDofamingo Weaponized super cancer sounds right up his alley. Dude’s almost as bad as Bill Gates.

Caesar would make a new type of cancer before curing it

@GreenTextRepost Certain vodkas will keep you feeling warm in a Wisconsin winter, too.

@DATAM_GOLYSTAR Is that the dungeon that you grind for hours in to find ribbons for the whole group?

@GermanicFren @EdGallrein “Which of these assbags do you think should rape and pillage your nation?”

@EdGallrein Doubt it, both of you are funded by jews The sooner people learn there is no political solution and stop participating in this rigged system we call "voting" that gives the illusion of choice, the sooner we can advance as a civilization.

Ed Gallrein will bring a lifetime of courage, leadership, and service to Washington.

@foundring1 I play this song whenever someone rides in my car for the first time. It usually goes over well, but there have been times that people have asked me to pull over so they could walk. The latter group are the ones I play it for.

Bring back "bogtrotter"

@GermanicFren @VideoGameHstry I don’t know how I got used to the camera angles in this game when it was new. I tried playing again recently, and just moving is painful.

@VideoGameHstry Nah because it would probably be done in unreal engine

Would you play a remaster of Super Mario 64?

@TFTC21 I am imagining horrible things as I read this. I’m realizing that sometimes extreme violence is “morally obligatory”.

A peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Bioethics by two professors at Western Michigan University School of Medicine argues that it is "morally obligatory" to genetically engineer ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome, a permanent condition that makes you violently allergic to red meat. The paper is called "Beneficial Bloodsucking." Their argument: if eating meat is morally wrong, then preventing the spread of a disease that forces people to stop eating meat is also morally wrong. Scientists should gene-edit lone star ticks to enhance their ability to carry alpha-gal syndrome and expand their range into urban environments to infect more people. They call this a "moral bioenhancer." They frame releasing genetically modified disease-carrying ticks as a "vaccination" that only "infringes" on your bodily autonomy rather than "violating" it. The distinction, apparently, is that a tick bit you instead of a government official holding you down. Alpha-gal syndrome is not mild. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 Americans are already affected. Cases have surged 100-fold in the last decade. Symptoms include anaphylaxis. There is no cure. Alpha-gal cases are exploding across the United States. The lone star tick's range is expanding far beyond its historical territory. And two academics at a medical school published a paper arguing this is a good thing that should be accelerated. At what point do we stop treating papers like this as fringe academic exercises and start asking whether anyone is already acting on them?

@ViewerAnon No, Kitana is supposed to be a badass. My main complaint is that some of the acting and martial arts were… not so good. It didn’t have the spectacular soundtrack of the original, either. It was decent overall, but nothing special.

No actual fan of Mortal Kombat would complain about Kitana having a large role or her being a “girlboss”

@BlazeBinges “I smell something… bullshit.”

If you've seen the first Mortal Kombat movie, prove by quoting it.

@tanpukunokami In Wisconsin, we go through a lot of these during deer hunting season. When you’re sitting in the woods for 10 hours at a time, they really make a difference.

In Japan, when it's cold, people walk around with little packets in their pockets called kairo. Hand warmers. Single use. You can grab one at any convenience store for under a dollar. Rip the plastic open, give it a shake, and a minute later it's warm in your hand. Stays warm for half a day. No batteries. No fire. Nothing plugged in. Inside? Just iron powder, water, salt, and a bit of charcoal. Open the packet, oxygen hits the iron, the iron rusts, the rust makes heat. You're walking around with controlled rust in your pocket. Most people don't know where the idea came from. It came from American soldiers. Korean War, 1950s. Some GIs were freezing out there, and a few of them figured out you could shake iron filings and salt into a canteen, pour in some water, and it would get hot enough to warm your feet. Crude. Ugly. But it worked. The Japanese saw this and quietly went, OK. We can do something with this. In 1975, a chemical company called Asahi Kasei tried to turn it into a product. Barely anyone bought it. Three years later, a small gas company named Nihon Junsuiso made a way better version. They had the tech. They didn't have the shelves. So they brought it to Lotte. The candy giant. Lotte was already buying oxygen absorbers from them to keep snacks fresh. Lotte handled the packaging, gave it a name, Hokaron, and pushed it into every drugstore in the country. A hundred yen each. You opened the bag and it just got warm. No fire. No smell. No mess. In 1978, the disposable warmer market in Japan was worth 200 million yen. By 1980, ten billion. Fifty times bigger in two years. Now they're everywhere. Grandmas carry them in their pockets. Kids head to school in February with one in each glove. Construction guys stick them on their lower back. Office workers tape them to their stomach under the shirt. Skiers shove them into their boots. Japan ships about 1.7 billion of them a year. The whole world buys them now. This winter, when a Japanese grandmother slips a kairo into her pocket, she's holding a small piece of an idea that started seventy years ago, in the snow of Korea, in the hands of freezing American soldiers.

@raymondwatts @MetropolisRec @Armalyte I can’t wait! My daughter has been watching your interview with Cevin Key to ease the anticipation. She watches about 10-15 minutes a day, treating it almost like an advent calendar. Counting down the days til Pigmas.

Here’s a snippet of Scars from the PIG album Hurt People Hurt … out May 22nd. Order both vinyl and CD at pigindustries.bandcamp (vinyl is under merch). First 1,500 come with signed photo by Raymond Watts. Written by Raymond Watts & Jim Davies. @MetropolisRec @Armalyte

@Ameinsurgee @FLRSCRP @Iithosphere Yeah, I was told to hug myself when I cough 😂 It was surprisingly helpful.

@BarumNoah @FLRSCRP @Iithosphere Yesss. By the 4th week my lower rib was suddenly hurting so bad I thought I got a hairline fracture or something, but I guess it was the muscular strain. I started pressing a pillow against my chest when I cough

read this and immediately got out of bed

@Ameinsurgee @FLRSCRP @Iithosphere Did you also feel like you coughed so hard that you tore connective tissue along your ribs, and threw your back out? I sure did. I still hurt from it. It made it really difficult to actually cough anything up.

@BarumNoah @FLRSCRP @Iithosphere Couldn’t be influenza for me either, pretty much the only symptom was the violent cough

@tintinpapa1 Drive your politicians into the sea.
