@VicseraT @You3_JP @kerorinex なぜ？交通事故の総数も自転車による交通事故の数も減っている．自転車が占める割合が横ばいするのは当たり前で，自転車に厳しくする理由にならないと思います。

@You3_JP @kerorinex なんか切り抜き方が悪質だなぁ‥ news.yahoo.co.jp/expert/article…

もともと二人乗りは庶民の生活の足だった。 以前は、好印象だった日本の文化が今は犯罪行為のような扱いになっている。 ルールを増やし、「ルールを守れ」という風潮が正義になった。 社会の許容度、自由度がなくなり、住みにくく、思考停止により非効率な国になった。他国との競争にも勝てるわけがない。

@haruka_no_yume Or to be precise, our wedding was in the shrine. The wedding party was on the viewing deck.

@haruka_no_yume I got married on the viewing deck of Kora Tanisha in 2003.

🇯🇵 Kora Taisha in Fukuoka is probably my favorite shrine in Japan. No one knows when it was founded but its first mention is in 795 AD in an historical text. The view from the shrine is amazing.

Trending today in Japan: Japanese cleaning again. I think that the Japanese actually like cleaning, more at least, than other nations as evidenced by the relative lack of Roomba, and existence of cleaning games 🎥 @dadada012312323

@WithoutHistory Then Mr. Yamada came down with a rare disease, multiple myeloma, which may be caused by some chemicals, but generally takes decades. Are there stronger chemicals not generally known?

“If Japan cannot make a strategic decision without the approval of the US, then it is a colony “. Japanese MP Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Cameroon. Are you able to make any strategic decisions before asking the US or France?

@neon_sky_2023 @travelingflying I didn't look at anything other than the site I quoted. Would you like me to take my post down?

@nihonbunka @travelingflying Judging from that graph, you are only looking at petty theft crime numbers. Other types of serious crimes, including rape, murder, violence, scams have been exploding in numbers.

Black man is stopped by police in Japan and has his bicycle searched. He gets upset: “This is racist. Because of my skin color? Why are you stopping me, because of my skin color?” In Japan, shouting “racism” doesn’t work like in America. You need to follow the law.

@mathelirium I read a Japanese book claiming the lift was caused by the turbulence.

It is often said that the lift on a wing is generated because the flow moving over the top surface has a longer distance to travel and therefore needs to go faster. This common explanation is actually wrong.

@othersiderflip @lisavsworld Lisa claims god created all this but not all ideas.

@lisavsworld He's right, though. In a logical sense, if God is real and created all things, that includes his culture. It's a simple fact, and ignoring it because it appears complex and inconvenient to your worldview is certainly arrogant.

I ended up in a strange conversation with a Japanese person. I do not think it was a translation error, but a heightened emotional error. He was angry and could not understand what I was saying despite me being kind and trying to agree with him. This person was complaining about the attitudes of western Christians and their zealousness. I said, "Oh yes, thar can be problem with Western Christians. They do not understand Japanese culture or how Japanese people think. So, they try to inappropriately push their ideas onto Japanese people." The Japanese person said, "That doesn't make any sense! They won't acknowledge that they're wrong about how God created all things, including Japanese religions. They are unable to exchange ideas and have a conversation!" I said, "Ah yes, well western Christians do not believe God created Japanese religions. This is a difference of religious cultural belief and they do not understand how Japanese think. Communication style is also different." He became angrier with me and said I was not listening to him. He repeated himself, "No, this is not a culture or language difference. That makes no sense! They are wrong." I said, "Yes, they are wrong to push their ideas onto you as they've been very harsh. But they do not believe the same thing as you. This is a cultural belief, it is not a universal belief. Different cultures believe different things. I am sorry they have been so rude to you and are not trying to understand you." He then accused me of being a "waste of conversation" and "not meeting him halfway." I thought this was odd and very rude to say to me. I agreed with him that Christians were being rude to him. But he made the same mistake as the western Christians in believing his cultural idea was universal. Because they did not accept his worldview, they were bad people and he implied I was a bad person for not accepting it either. So much of this cultural exchange will end poorly if we do not understand that we believe different things. Our beliefs are shaped by our language, culture, and historical cultures. It changes the way that we think. Morals that exist for us are often not the same in other cultures. I think the lesson here was the Japanese person was acting the same as the bad behavior he saw in the west. He just could not recognize it because to him, his was the acceptable behavior. You have to remember, just because behavior is acceptable in your country, doesn't mean it is normal in another country.

@japanauthor I never knew. Wikipedia: 雑用係として雇用された日本人が出入りしていたが、終戦後に進駐軍の基地で荷物運びのアルバイトをしていた西村京太郎は、アメリカ兵はチョコレートなどをくれるなど親切だったが、イギリス軍の基地では何もくれなかったと回想している ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A4…

Understandably most people believe it was the Americans who occupied Japan after WW2. In fact there were two occupying were two occupying and separate forces in Japan after the end of World War 2 until 1952. The Americans were the largest and, as can be seen from the map, occupied Kyushu and most of Honshu. The smaller British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF) was a task force consisting of Australian, British, Indian and New Zealand military forces. grahamthomasauthor.wordpress.com/2024/09/13/all…

Trending today in Japan: An Asian lady, who speaks with a non-Japanese accent, sticks close to a man in front of her at a ticket turnstile, with practised adroitness, in an attempt to avoid payment, but is caught by an inspector. JX is not pleased😡💢

Trending today in Japan: An international survey of "when do you feel most pleasure?" found "Sex" coming top in many countries whereas in Japan it was at 5th, with "Eating something delicious" coming in first. Consider Japanese TV for instance.

@neon_sky_2023 @travelingflying The source (also in the image ALT) is rikuaji.com/2694 which cites this government white paper hakusyo1.moj.go.jp/jp/70/nfm/n70_…

@nihonbunka @travelingflying This graph is definitely wrong or fake

@BrianABCS On my commute there are left turns & T-junctions where I mounted the pavement and skipped the lights. Wait or risk a blue ticket? Now we are drivers, I wish they'd skip compulsory Copenhagen two stage right turns. I am the only cyclist using hand signals. I want a blue prize.

@nihonbunka While you are looking out the window, enjoying the rain, what are your thoughts on the new cycling laws?

Heavy rain in Yamaguchi #山口市

This is how Spring in Japan looks like🌸🇯🇵

@mellifera_x3 Lipstick 💋?

intensive skincare pays off! No makeup AT ALL today🥹

@Rainmaker1973 Please stay strong, and post from hospital.

Update Account collapse became physical collapse. Heading to hospital, so I guess the problem is solved. - end of transmission -

@skindie___ @saharamakoto “Itadakimasu” literally means, “I humbly receive (this food)”. It is a bit like saying grace (at primary school we said, “For what we are about to receive, may the Lord make us truly grateful.”) but it is not directed, or at the whole world (the host, cook, God, the farmers…)

@saharamakoto What does it mean

One thing I learned about Japanese people is that they’re VERY enthusiastic about food and love food so much

@usebigears @ArchetypeTheory @nws4702 @jonaaronbray The was a little smoke, and the timing was a little off a shown in the audio. Please see @jonaaronbray’s videos. People had recently practiced with pagers, which are not much bigger.

Lets summarize: You suggest a shaped charge was retrofitted in a very small device (smaller than any world use examples) with targeting precision leaving no smoke and no visible scorching trace that was able to detonate in a one and done lethal delivery and also timed precisely with some sound of a shot fired at exactly the same time, a sound which witnesses claim came from behind them. All of this you say, is the most likely explanation. It sound least likely to me.

A shaped charge device was purchased from a miniature explosives factory in Tennessee which was embedded into his microphone under his shirt. A week after Jon Bray out forward this theory and started assembling evidence, the company that was contracted by our military to make it, randomly exploded killing everyone and completely wiping the building off the earth. This is how they killed Charlie Kirk.
