Ignoring domestic terrorism, an outside attack to me seems most likely in terms of cyberattacks on weak infrastructure (utilities, signals, etc.)

Yes. Things feel out-of-balance without it to me. However, if the meaning is unclear (something something stripping Hitler and Stalin), I will work around it and/or use other punctuation. I think I have a bit of a weird synesthesia thing going on for written text (English or written code (in the programming sense); I don’t have it as much in the other languages I read/write, but it isn’t absent there, either).

I’m shocked that this is still news as often as he seems to speak without thinking

I was wondering if it were tied to recent court decisions in Korea to allow someone to sue over wartime labour, but it looks like this has been going on a lot longer.

Some of the the Louisana folks would often say ka-SHAY in a wonderful Cajun accent.

Don’t be sorry :) I’m sure different people would even argue about the definitions above. I lived in a super-left (comparatively and using US terms) neighborhood in a generally left city, in a generally left district in a state that mostly voted conservative. Depending upon the granularity (and definition of all the above terms), the results would play out rather differently. I’m a software engineer for a living so exercises a bit like this are something I do often

I think it’s too broad a question. How is conservative measured? State level? District? Past voting? Voter rolls?

I also imagine the type and level of crime matter. But there’s also what isn’t recorded.

Interesting question, though

As long as it’s not scrambled, I suppose

It varies by region at least in the US based on a few years of doing service desk work. Listening to YouTubers, it seems a bit all over the place as well.

Well, crap. Guess I’ll eat a nice quitch to chear myself up

A “niche” is not a “nitch”

For the Koreans I met who moved to Japan, the work culture can be less bad, as can be working at certain companies despite where they graduated from. My sample size is small, though, and I am neither Japanese nor Korean.

Yep.　裸祭り -> hadaka matsuri -> naked festival

shriners?

神主 (kannushi) is apparently the term for the head priest. Not sure who made the decision, though.

Japan allows women (…)

A shrine in Japan which is legally distinct from the Japanese government (especially post-WWII)

I oppose the death penalty in very nearly every circumstance. I think that prisons should be more about rehabilitation that just brutish punishment (but the punishment exists at least in part to avoid extra-judicial attacks by the victims who feel the perpatrator was not justly punished). Some people, of course, cannot be rehabilitated and, in that case, I would lean toward life in prison.

I’ve been living in Japan the better part of a decade and don’t have strong opinions on anime or the like (I couldn’t tell you what KyoAni has made)

The netuyo are probably whinging about it, but I stay away from those corners of the internet. Osaka Naomi and others have faced issues as well. Mostly, from what I remember, it’s been sports competitions where this comes up

They’re dentists’ drills; the sound alone is horrifying! (I have nothing useful to add)

That would be some shit if Japan stopped being rabies free because of human bites.

My Ninja has worked just fine for me for a few years now. I don’t really have Vitamix money to spend (especially since they are even more expensive here in Japan)
