@Kshi_nippon Requiring separate boxes for 4 or more kinds of trash is stupid and wasteful. I’m not washing my 7-11 bento box j]before I put it into the special plastic containers trash bag.

One thing that confuses many foreigners about Japan 🇯🇵 There are surprisingly few public trash cans. And yet… the streets are still incredibly clean. Many Japanese people simply carry their trash home with them. For them, keeping shared spaces clean is just common sense. Could this work in your country?

If white people deserve exclusive credit for "ending slavery," then white people built the system, ran the system, defended the system, went to war to preserve the system, and then at the very last moment, after centuries of resistance from the people inside it made it unsustainable, signed the paper. And kept all the credit. That's not a legacy of moral leadership. That's a legacy of owning the pen.
Andrew Branca Show@TheBrancaShow

@nxt888 There's plenty of blame for ENGAGING in slavery all around. The only CREDIT for ENDING slavery belongs with WHITE people.

@StefanMolyneux As a parent I didn’t have the time or money to raise my kids as I should have. As an uncle or grandparent I have time to listen to them and engage them properly.

In Sweden, a study was conducted on refugees who had been granted asylum after claiming to flee oppression or war zones. It was found that 79% had returned to their home countries on vacation at some point!

NEW: Spencer Pratt fires back at reporter after he was asked about his plan for the homeless, says they will all end up in Seattle. Reporter: "What are your plans for the over 40,000 homeless in Los Angeles?" Pratt: "Well, they're not homeless, they're drug addicts... These people have been bused in by scam rehabs, scam NGOs, scam homeless nonprofits." "These people, when I unplug them ... they're all going to Seattle, where the mayor will welcome them."

@EODHappyCaptain I understand why many vets make that choice. It crosses my mind several times a week but I don’t want my family and friends to blame themselves if I did it.

Remembering both of these guys today. Two best friends that did everything together. Both took their lives about a year apart from each other after coming back from deployment. Many of the wounds of war are unseen.

Rome 🇮🇹: A Syrian immigrant thief gets caught red-handed. When the Carabinieri arrive, he tries to escape, then suddenly turns and stabs an officer in the chest with a screwdriver. His colleague intervenes and shoots, killing the attacker. Anywhere else in the world, this would be ruled self-defense and the officer would be praised. Not in Italy. In Italy, the justice system sentenced the Officer to 3 years in prison and ordered him to pay compensation to the criminal’s family: €15,000 for each child and €5,000 for each sibling. It’s a nauseating disgrace.

This might sound insane, but in Japan… You buy a house with your own money, and still keep paying taxes on it until you die. When you buy it, they tax you. While you live in it, they tax you. When you sell it, they tax you. And after you die, your kids can get hit with inheritance tax too. Like… bro. You spent your whole life paying for that house. And somehow, the government still acts like it’s on a subscription plan. Is it really “your home” at that point?

A gang targeted, lured and gang raped two young girls at knifepoint while they filmed it and laughed while they took turns. One of the girls said "All I want to do is die, I no longer have fear for when that comes" All of them spared a prison sentence today! Wtf is going on?

@tanpukunokami My view is that the burning down of Shinto shrines will be correlated to the number of mosques built.

What are Japanese people trying to defend when they attack others for opposing a new mosque? If they were Muslim, I could understand their position. But when Japanese people ignore local concerns and still support it, I honestly don’t get it. How does building a mosque benefit ordinary Japanese people?

I told my wife that if she died, I wouldn't ever date again. The dating landscape is littered with body counts, STDs and excessive emotional baggage. Dating was terrible before. It seems impossible now. I'd rather die alone in the woods than subject myself to modern women. At least it would be quiet and peaceful.

A lot of single men seem completely checked out of dating now, like they replaced romance with gym memberships, football, and pretending they’re happier alone.

Elon just offered to fund a wrongful death lawsuit against UK police officers who handcuffed the victim of a stabbing. Henry Novak had been stabbed by Vickrum Digwa with an 8in Sikh martial arts knife. When officers arrived, Vickrum claimed he had been racially abused, while Henry was lying on his side, telling the police he’d been stabbed and couldn’t breathe. Officers immediately took Vickrum’s side and told Henry that he was under arrest for suspicion of assault, dismissing claims that he’d been stabbed. Henry died as a result of his injuries. The UK is beyond a joke

A student was stabbed with a “shashtar” knife on a night out. As he lay bleeding to death, his attacker claimed he’d racially abused him, so the police handcuffed him. Henry Nowak choked to death, in a puddle of his own blood under arrest for “racism”, in Britain, in 2025. Will there be protests at his death? Will the anti-racism movement even bat an eyelid? I suspect not. They’ve totally lost the plot.

Family enters illegally in 2022, rolls the dice on asylum, then acts shocked when the system finally enforces the rules. Missed prom? That’s on the parents who bet their kid’s future on breaking the law. The tears-and-trophies framing is pure emotional manipulation: ignore the incentives, the line-jumpers, the costs to legal immigrants and taxpayers. Every country deports rule-breakers. America isn’t cruel for doing the same. Actions have consequences. Don’t like them? Don’t break the law. Mass deportations are the answer
Kim "Katie" USA@KimKatieUSA

A Chicago high school senior and his mother are sitting in an ICE detention center and scheduled for deportation. They crossed the border in 2022 with a bogus asylum claim like so many other illegals. They are criminals. The penalty for illegal border crossing is deportation.

I have 2 Japanese adult kids that could do the work online (Airbnb type property management). However, they don’t want to move to Hokkaido and they need to be physically in a rented office space to qualify. For the first 6 months while getting the business started and applying for the business manager visa, I’d have to pay full benefits and salary. We spoke to two 行政書士and the requirements just don’t make sense for most entrepreneurs now. がっかり。

🇯🇵 There's a lot of misinformation floating around (both in Japanese and English) about this situation so allow me to explain what happened. A man name Kumar from India moved to Japan 30 years ago and opened a curry shop and was on a Business Manager visa. During his time here he never bothered to switch to a PR visa (which would have made his life much easier) and instead kept renewing his business visa. However, the requirement went up last year to renew the business visa. ⭐️ (Before) 5 million yen or 2 full-time employees ⭐️ (Now) 30 million yen + 1 full-time Japanese employee He didn't meet the current requirement. This change was designed to ensure businesses create real Japanese employment and have genuine economic contribution. Most Japanese people don't want to shut down foreigner run restaurants. However, it is very important to follow the rules and make smart decisions (like switching to a PR visa if you don't have money) to avoid these situations.

@RickOpland @harukaawake If you would really think so, you would've said why, but you're just lashing out, because you don't like the feeling of being rightly seen as a wandering parasite. Better luck plundering the underdeveloped nation of Thailand! I'm sure you'll REALLY advantage looots of the locals!
