Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.
I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

I’m in Kansai, and felt it even here. When it kept going and going and going, I KNEW it was gonna be bad - I was here for the 311 Tohoku quake, and that’s what that one felt like.
Coke is not the only thing being sold in these vending machines. Irohas and Georgia coffee are all owned by Coca-Cola, and they’re everywhere.
Prices have gone up a lot recently (it’s more like ¥150-¥180 now, in Osaka at least) and this would send the prices up more - just think things like the prices for water shooting up in the middle of summer.
They released on the same day, so people made jokes. That’s it.
God, that poor guy. Can you even imagine the guilt he’s got to be feeling over this? And how terrified he must be for his kids?
Can you imagine losing that much of your family in just one day? Jfc.
He should’ve kept his lips to himself in the first place and avoided this, then.
That was a different case. From the article you linked:
The ruling is the first of its kind in Japan, and comes as the Supreme Court considers a separate case about the same issue.
This is said “separate case.”
Remember that idiot who decided to go to the kaitenzushi places and lick the sushi?
Yeah, how about we not do that.
That requires there having been a plan to begin with. He desperately tried to get out of buying Twitter. Now he’s flailing but trying to act like he knows what he’s doing.
A big reason for why people turned against the Unification Church wasn’t just because of the ties uncovered with politicians, it was because the news reported a LOT on the guy’s background and how the Unification Church had pretty much completely ruined his life by the way they suckered in his mom, which led to his brother attempting suicide because of their financial problems stemming from her giving so much money to them. The press almost accidentally turned the guy sympathetic, and public sentiment almost immediately turned against the Unification Church - suddenly there were all these articles and TV programs about people who had been financially taken advantage of by the Unification Church, and reporters started digging into the connection to politicians.
Had the guy shot his original target - he wanted to shoot someone high up in the Moonies at first and had tested out his gun by shooting at the Moonies’ headquarters at night, he ironically might not have been so successful in bringing the Unification Church down in Japan. Abe was killed because of opportunity (Abe coming down to Nara close to where the guy lived for the day), and since it didn’t initially make sense why someone who hated the Unification Church would kill Abe, who seemed unrelated other than his grandfather having allowed them in, there likely wouldn’t have been any digging into their connection to political figures.
Umm, what do you think the “world” in “worldnews” means?
So how exactly was she “engaging state security,” by teaching about Uyghur culture?!
The people in charge who can’t see beyond this quarter’s financial reports will be dead by then, so they don’t care.
There were no signs or barriers, as the article mentioned, and it was a rainy night. This dude had no way of knowing or seeing something was wrong until it was too late.
Thing is, as the article points out, people had contacted Google trying to get this fixed.
There was more than one failure here. That’s why the family is suing more than one entity.
The bridge was broken years though, so Google should not have been using it for routes. The country is definitely at fault for not having signs up, but Google isn’t blameless in this.
I feel like the endgame of this is that eventually all Microsoft exclusives will only be available on GamePass.
