This is also going away (and it’s less staring out the window and more pretending to be busy), but it’s not going to happen overnight, particularly where the micro-managing dinosaurs are still in control. I’ve worked at two (fairly westernized) Japanese companies and have not seen this personally, but know many who have.
As someone who owns a Kawasaki motorcycle and has been very pleased with their sales and service staff: won’t touch that thing. I don’t even know how/where one would refuel the thing; I’ve not seen hydrogen Stations anywhere here in japanJapan so far despite various automakers talking about it.
I borrowed one (I can’t even tell you what the make/model was) in the early 2000s. The pics were OK, but the thing took forever to save; there was no quick shooting by pressing the button again.
This and they’d have to stay that way for at least a year first (though I’m more interested in the powerwall than vehicles).
or you’re just hanging out with your friends re-creating scenes from your favorite movies outside (or LARPing).
Not just unionizing, but getting legislation put forward and passed that protects workers’ rights.
In Japan, the barrier to firing workers is much higher than in many other places. Even layoffs for financial reasons are tough and can be challenged. This is one reason companies sit on hordes of cash here is to weather financial issues, but it also has negative economic impacts as well. That said, Nintendo are a bunch of greedy cunts IMO, and I try never to buy anything new from them anymore (just buying used where they don’t get a cut).
Nah. I’d rather they make something with the size, scale, mechanics (referring for combat and such but not same abilities, etc.), and storytelling of FFVI. Optionally some fancier graphics and preferably no grinding anywhere.
In Chinese yes, in japanese, no (8 would be hachi, 300 is sanbyaku but that n before b is pronounced as m)
Me, over here in East Asia, looking around confused.
US citizens are required to file but, depending upon income, don’t need to pay anything. It does make contributing to US retirement vehicles a lot more difficult since many need to be contributions on taxable income. Citizens also need to be super careful about trying to use foreign retirement schemes like ISAs and the like because of PFIC rules.

Nah, definitely happens at 300 with 三百
Edit: in japanese, but I didn’t list my language since OP didn’t bother.
First-past-the-post and not wanting to see the conservatives win makes it seem not super strange to me (though I live overseas so my understanding may be incomplete).
I question why this person still has a valid license if they care so little about everyone else that they couldn’t stay in their own lane.
reduce the flourishes and/or add more spacing between lines and it would be a lot more readable.
Come to Japan (and, so I’ve heard, several European countries) where we have a temperature setting on the tap. Mine caps at 40 by default, but you can press a little button and make it hotter if desired (up to however hot your water heater puts out).
A majority means they rule on their own, minority means they need to work with with some other party/parties, but that will not include the conservatives. They will have the most seats and I presume that’s what they meant by victory.
Edit: corrected a wrong term.
It looks like his riding is still closer than I would like with him trailing by only ~3%
Yes, there could be valid usecases to stop a cart, but the manufacturer of the carts should (and possibly already does) implement that and instruct the store on its usage/requirements.
Not listed in the article but, starting around corona, price increases started happening all over the place. Russia’s attack on Ukraine also caused price increases here for a number of reasons. Rice is now around double what it was a year ago (https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/backstories/3949/ – some general price increase, also shortages due to weather and shitty planning). The news keeps talking about price increases every month. Wages? Hardly budging. People are getting a lower quality of life for the same amount of work so of course the desire to put up with bullshit is dropping.
Now, if people would vote for anyone else, we might see something happen. Voter turnout is terrible in Japan. As a non-citizen, I can’t vote so nothing I can do there. (Technically, there are some local elections that non-citizens can vote in (I think all requiring permanent residency permits) but nothing at an upper level).
