Why? That’s literally been the entire point of arming Taiwan for the past 50 years. It’s even stated in the article, the US gives them enough so that China doesn’t get stupid and start something, but not enough so that Taiwan gets stupid and start something.
It’s official!!! Business Insider is shit
Well that, and a hot drink. Tea, earl grey perhaps?
You’re right! We need to do something about all those terrorists lining the streets of Xinjiang. We all must band together to rid the world of this vile, evil scourge called the CCP!
Dead or not who cares? HQ is destroyed, they ain’t coming back from that for awhile
Which one do you recommend?
it don’t, it was a shitpost dig at him doing nothing for the past decade and letting the fandom die, no need to overthink it :P
Would be hilarious to see this get thrown out because the plaintiff has no standing to sue because he hasn’t written anything in over a decade
This wouldn’t have been an issue if NBC stuck with Conan
The big one at the top: ストライキ
So I looked it up, it was a PSA Jetsons commercial
If I recall correctly, that IS the in-cannon reason they all live in houses on poles in the clouds and use flying cars.
Mate, please, he taught English here for 1 year. I’ve been in engineering, marketing, and finance roles for over 20. So I’ve got a pretty good feel for what it’s like here and don’t need any additional “context”. Do I think we should get more time off? Yes. But go take a look at what Americans get and how much OT they work and then tell me Japanese work culture is so bad. I’ll give you a hint, they get fuck all and average more OT hours than us (9 hours weekly compared to 6 in Japan). And have you ever heard of 996? That’s literal slavery in China. Could Japan do better? Sure, but it’s not the 80s anymore for christ sake, it’s different here now.
What after work nomikai? The few companies that were still doing that stopped after covid.
I’m from Tokyo and have been working 20+ years, the idea that all Japanese work themselves to death is meme nowadays. Yes, it was like that before, and there are still a few companies like that now, but it’s not representative of the whole anymore. We do get vacations. There are 16 public holidays a year, 10 vacation days required by law with an extra day for each year of service at the company, and the government will fine companies that don’t force their employees to use at least half of them every year.
“Overtime” is also a bit of a joke. The average salaryman does probably 2 hours real work every day. The rest is just trying to look busy while dicking around on facebook. And attitudes about that are slowly changing too. I rarely see anyone younger than 35 hang around the office late to look busy anymore, they know there’s no point because it’s not going to get you a raise or a promotion anyways.
I’m from Tokyo, so I’m saying this as someone with a direct stake in the matter, but is this really a problem? The Earth is on fire right now, the oceans are literally boiling, it is face-melting hot here. The consequences of the period of unsustainable growth are finally coming to pass. There was a report yesterday saying we’d passed the yearly mark for what the planet can provide, and we’d need 1.7 Earths now to meet everyone’s needs. So maybe naturally reducing the population isn’t such a bad thing.
Oh god, please give NATO an excuse to show the world why Americans don’t have health care.
ask Hong Kong
ask the Uighurs
