I can sense you're a trustworthy person and that your story is highly credible.
Even if someone showed me the video evidence of you sexually harassing female employees, I wouldn't believe it.
I will die on the hill that you we're fired for standing up for your rights and righteousness, and not because you kept showing up for work late or repeatedly talking loudly about your breastfeeding fetish.
There's plenty of good reasons to keep a windows device updated and available for use.
Honestly, I prefer that to spinning up a windows VM, especially if your needs include Windows software that interfaces directly with external hardware.
I realize that's not an option for everyone, but for those who have an extra device available, or can afford a used laptop to keep in a closet, it's well worth it IMO.
I didn't say there was no cocaine use. There's always some level of drug use, what I call bullshit on is the idea that cocaine replaced Adderall en masse.
Workers who need stimulants already have much better, and exponentially cheaper, drugs to use for that purpose.
Like I said, if the article was talking about work-life balance driving more recreational drug use as a coping mechanism, I would believe that.
I don't believe that shift workers are replacing cheap and long lasting stimulants with the most expensive stimulant available.
I can understand executives, or people in finance, being able to not just justify their use of cocaine on the job, but more importantly, be able to afford it.
Unless cocaine prices have come down exponentially in the last decade, I can't imagine being a shift worker and relying on cocaine to get through the day.
I'm going to call bullshit on this reporting. I would have believed that if they just said cocaine use has gone up, or that recreational use outside of work has risen.
If cocaine was dirt cheap, meth wasn't cheap, or if it was hard to get an amphetamine prescription, I would be more willing to accept this reporting.
But as it stands, cocaine isn't cheap, meth is, and prescription amphetamines are more common then ever.
If alcohol consumption fixed declining birth rates, Japan wouldn't have an aging population and Russia wouldn't have been facing a demographic collapse even before the Ukraine invasion.
This isn't about boosting sex, it's about being a conservative policy counterweight to opening the door to legalizing medicines derived from cannabis.
My guess is that it's a result of an internal NJP compromise between center right and hard right factions: only agreeing to allow liberalized medical cannabis policy, if the law also increased the scope of, and penalties for, recreational uses.
But that's just my assumption based on my limited understanding of Japan's post-war uniparty government.
