@jayallen_uj @UnseenJapanSite I sometimes overhear Japanese Americans do this in conversation and it always bothers me.

@mommyin4f @mrjeffu You've been arrogant from the start and demanding proof for every statement, even when the request is nonsensical. I've shared opinions and appealed to common sense. I'm not writing an academic paper for you and I don't care that much if you agree. 👋

At a press conference earlier today, Prime Minister Kishida only answered questions from 4 selected news outlets. Journalist Ogata Toshi tried to ask a question but was cut off as Kishida started to walk off. He then shouted "Are you running away?"

@jmrphy @C_Kavanagh His cognitive processes are operating at such a high level, it's physically painful. I need to go procure a cold beverage.

@C_Kavanagh Anyone can be cut into a compilation that makes them sound bad. He doesn’t present himself as a guru. He’s certainly “far out,” but I’ll take that over polished and predictable any day. Resentful Reddit dorks who only consume and comment hate people who are unique and creative.

This is an incredible video. It's pure condensed wisdom for 14 mins. reddit.com/r/DecodingTheG…

@mrjeffu And that's why Japan is #68 in the world press freedom index, lowest in the G7.

@pbreit @jsrailton An accusation against a completely different organization, by the owner of Twitter who has millions of followers. That's splitting hairs?

@jsrailton Splitting hairs. Taylor's uncle is Roger Macdonald who founded the Internet TV Archive.

@alexandrosM @C_Kavanagh How does the context help here?

@C_Kavanagh Oh hey Chris, how's the stalking going? Still got nothing better to do than taking things out of context in hopes of scoring a dunk? I'd expect you'd at least have gotten better at it by now but.. no.

This bar chart has attracted the attention of the richest man in the world. Let me walk you through how I would interpret it as a statistician (and a human).

@Japanese4Morons Casual rudeness from working professionals. My culture shock started at the airport immigration line.

I'm flying back from Japan to the USA tomorrow for the first time in 4 years. What will shock me the most? a) maskless faces? b) rampant obesity? c) seeing non Asians everywhere? d) loud people everywhere? d) the inflation? e) huge portions? What else?

@AmbroiseVelvet The best explanation I've found of this and other thorny Japanese concepts is in Jay Rubin's book Making Sense of Japanese. It's a very fun and enlightening read.

Dear Lord, please send revival only to us and those of whom we approve, and by means we can affirm. Lord, please don't send rain on the liberals or the woke, nor Lord, on the Methodists or Pentecostals. Lord, we do need reviving but it needs to be for us, look like us...

@SamSeder It's telling that JBP thinks more men will step in to protect a woman if she's someone's property as opposed to, ya know, just because she's a person with intrinsic value and someone's trying to assault her.

The problem, Doctor, is you said this in the context of pushing back on the advantages of a woman no longer being property of a man.
