@thebender7 Closed in 1987 and designated a heritage property in 2002. Property is now managed by Civil Defense Museum.

@BrianABCS Historic, meaning it's not being used for anything anymore?

@BrianABCS Sow?

There is a mystery cold circulating in Fukuoka prefecture Japan. The symptoms are sore throat, runny nose, phlegm, and severe coughing. Fukuoka Prefecture Medical Association has not identified the pathogen but think it is a new virus. CBC is missing an opportunity to sew fear.

@kowalchukfarms1 I am special!

@BrianABCS This one worked? Not sure why others aren’t.

My posts on here aren’t letting people reply? I feel like the Monette social media😂 Can anyone help me on this?

@Lonely_Paradox_ @bunburyoudoujp No, I was thinking of Special Permanent Resident. The minister misspoke when she said living in Japan in not a right for non-citizens. It is for some, and their children. Zainichi can easily become citizens, many do. Should Japan "force" or automatically give then citizenship?

@BrianABCS @bunburyoudoujp Special Permanent Resident is only available to Taiwanese or Korean people who lost their Japanese citizenship after the war or their descendants. You're probably thinking of "Special Permission to Stay" which is a temporary visa that must be renewed regularly

Japan doesn’t have birthright citizenship. The anchor baby strategy doesn’t work in Japan. You get the citizenship of your parents. This situation is literally the fault of the parents.

@Lonely_Paradox_ @bunburyoudoujp Japan does grant "special permanent resident" status to some and as codified in 1991, they and their descendants have a lawful right to remain in Japan indefinitely and cannot be deported except under extreme circumstances. It is a right, under law.

@BrianABCS @bunburyoudoujp Why would they do that? The Korean situation is completely different

@TaraArmstrongBC I see, screw Gen X again, eh?

Boomers came of age in the most prosperous era in history: cheap homes, high wages, and abundant jobs. But Gen Z and Millennials have inherited none of those fruits. I'm proposing a 50% tax cut for anyone under 40 to provide relief for past generations' reckless spending.

Maybe the CBC will use the money for more outrageous gonzo attacks on retired RCMP officers.

@hizaga Good ides!

Pulled out my pack's built in rain guard and look at the color, love it! Should use it daily to help visibility so I don't get hit by a car.

@kowalchukfarms1 Unicorn tears.

These wet drops of liquid fell from the sky for 5 minutes around noon today! Not sure what to call this phenomenon?

@ByRakeshSimha As a matter of fact, Zainichi Koreans (300,000-400,000 people) have Special Permanent Resident status which grants them and their descendants an indefinite right to remain in Japan and protection from deportation except for severe crimes.

A reporter asked Japan's Minister for Foreigners, Kimi Onoda, about "permanent residency rights" for foreigners in Japan. Onoda cut her off: "Be careful with your words. Japan does not have permanent residency rights." "It is a permit. Granted after meeting the requirements. Not a right. Calling it a right leads to misunderstanding. Please be careful when you speak about it." The minister was unapologetic — and she has reason to be. No country in the world hands foreigners a guaranteed right to live there forever. Japan is one of the few willing to say it out loud. - via Japan Insider

Another zombie bad idea from the 70's has crawled out of the grave: UK is pushing for food price caps.

@TBeanpod Have you considered a native fruit like Chinese Gooseberry?

@BrianABCS I'm off vegetable growing until I have a dedicated hatake!

@UnseenJapanSite Well, that is not a bit true. Akane "red" 茜 was in Kojiki. Madder plant roots were used to make 茜 in the Hinomaru.

Traditionally, there were only four words used to describe colors in Japanese: red (赤い), black (黒い), white (白い), and blue (青い). Educational materials didn't formally distinguish 緑 (midori) as a separate color until after WWII.

@UnseenJapanSite Give the people what they want Nobody wants to listen to J-Pop. It is junk Japanese bands like Paledusk, Otoboke Beaver and Hanabie. don't seem to have a problem touring outside of Japan. The supply of boring J-Pop singers like LISA far exceeds the demand for overproduced clones

Why J-pop remains an island unto itself: buff.ly/174Av2I

Japan's music market is 3-4x larger than South Korea's. Yet Japanese-language tracks rank 5th globally versus SK's 4th. Why is J-pop losing the soft power war? We dive into the tangle of anti-scalping laws, fraud fears, and "oshi doping" that keeps foreign fans out.
