@Alm7nk9982 @Devon_Eriksen_ Americans tend to have differing opinions on almost everything, but not about that topic. I think 90% of us would be shocked to hear that anyone would blame the Japanese for what happened. The overwhelming sentiment is admiration for the Japanese people and their response.

Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me right now? Is this fucking joke? Fukushima? Really? I mean, Japan did some pretty awful stuff in WW2, but... Fukushima? Of all the ridiculous things to feel guilty over... Fukushima was hit by multiple 50 foot tidal waves from a 9.1 earthquake at sea. That's not a fucking nuclear accident. That's your nuclear plant being hit by the hammer of god. And after that, you contained it. You took the hand fate dealt you and you played it with everything you had. You had workers volunteering to be heroes, to stay and fight to shut that thing down. And you saved... everyone. Not a single clearly connected death. In the middle of a natural disaster that cost you fifteen thousand souls, your people fought this thing and won. Chernobyl is something for Russians to be ashamed of, because that was their own screwup, and stupid communists can't do anything right. Fukushima wasn't your screwup. Fukushima happened to you. And your men stopped it. Fukushima is not your national shame. It is one of your finest hours.

このことに本当に驚いている。他の国からは、特に福島の原発事故の後に向けられた悪意や差別が酷かったので。 もう一つ意外だったのは、アメリカの伝統的を愛する人達の方が、むしろ寛容で多様性を愛しているように見えること。 「排他的」と誤解されがちな我々日本人とも似ているのかも知れない。

Today in @ScienceMagazine my colleagues and I address the mystery of why opioid overdoses in the US and Canada suddenly began dropping dramatically. We assemble traditional and novel evidence to point to an illicit drug supply disruption, probably in China. 1/8

I’m a Marine Corp veteran, trained by LEOs when I served in US embassies on how to handle unruly individuals or protestors. 1) If you are the guys with guns, you are the ones responsible for the situation. Doubly so if you outnumber the person you’re engaging. 2) You do not need to use force except to control the situation in order to deescalate it. Minimal force required. 3) You are NOT here to look for excuses to use more force. Even if the person gives you an excuse which “justifies” using force, that doesn’t mean using force is de facto the right move. 4) “Let the other person retreat” often resolves the situation just fine! Don’t surround people, back them up against a wall, etc. Your job is to control the situation. “I put myself stupidly in danger” is not an excuse to escalate “because I’m in danger.” 5) People will feed off of your energy. If you come rolling up like a fascist thug ready to break skulls, people will meet you at that level. If you show up calm, professional, and having a friendly chat, often that brings the temperature down. Everything I see from ICE agents is they are relishing violence and exercising power, needlessly escalating situations, looking for opportunities to shoot their weapons and beat the shit out of people.

3rd world "Special Forces" will give themselves a badass name, release slick videos of them jumping through flaming hoops and doing handstands on motorcycles and then get wiped on first contact with the enemy.

There are 40 lovingly handwritten letters to Trump like “boy we sure do love ‘Enigmas’, don’t we? When they scream? Yours molestingly, Jeffery Epstein” and the only response from Republicans so far has been “the liberals are seething that Clinton is in the files!”

@Slee_ trigger a predator response from the mantises. And yes you’ll still live there which means at that volume just your day to day movements will squash dozens each day leading to attrition on both sides.

@Slee_ Filling your apartment with 50,000 clown tree frogs and an appropriate ratio (to be determined) of giant shield mantises notoriously leads to a fight. At that density we don’t know if both sides will understand they need to team up to fight, but we can assume the frogs will
