This is specifically for train groping, for one, and literally has a whole section on what they are doing about it. I specifically wanted to know what was being cited here:

Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented.

Victim blaming is common. This is a systemic problem

This, I agree with.

Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented.

For this, I'd like to see the documentation you cite.

I mean, the vast majority of people here are not committing sexual assault. There is certainly work to be done with the justice system regarding reporting and prosecuting crimes, but it's not like Japan or Osaka or Tokyo just condone SA.

Wanted poster. Maybe because I'm not in the US, but the article had no photos for me https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/additional/christopher-john-worrell/@@download.pdf

To me, it looked like she said 'no' and he was a shitbag and told her to GTFO

B, but only their bellies; the portal is above most of their bodies, and their heads and ankles will get cut off for being off even the track.

I still have a box full of all kinds of male-male, female-female, and female-male adapters somewhere for serial, parallel, VGA, etc.. I'm trying to recall the joke about them at the time, but there really aren't that many that I can think of. I think I heard the odd "I'd pay to see that" or "don't mention that in [location]"

My Pixel 6 issues (originally bluetooth, which now (mostly) finally works, but now overheating and a factory reset to fix background networking just dying) turned me off pretty hard. I ended up getting another Android tablet instead and it, thankfully, has mostly been great.

I'm still really on the fence about sticking with Google devices for my phone. It's even push me to consider going back to Apple, which I really don't want to do. I'd rather stick with Android, but I also don't want bloatwere and/or spyware (in addition to what using Google apps already gets me).

The life of the wife was ended by the knife in that GIF!

And you thought the USA was a bad place.

I can think that both are bad places to different degrees for different reasons. Particularly when some would like for the US to become more like that.

My wife and I are going to the US from Japan in roughly a month. Our first flight is something like 12 hours. Not going to be a fun one. I'm hoping her first time in the US and mine in 5 or 6 years isn't spent with corona. We're also visiting my elderly grandparents for what may be the last time, but I'd certainly rather not MAKE it the last time by bringing disease with.

Mini-/Cherry tomatoes are pretty easy to grow in pots and don't take much space. They can also be quite delicious. I started growing them a few years ago and haven't stopped.

Japan here. Both wife and I have many sick coworkers. Nearly all of them were corona positive.

I guess, technically, if I had had a kid at 18-20 and my kid had done the same, maybe it would be possible. Then again, a younger step-sibling is already a grandmother.

We were still supporting navigator and/or communicator when I was working in my first IT job doing tech support for a dial-up provider.

The bigger problem was that IE was involved in a lot of things and uninstalling it could break a lot. IIRC some versions would not even allow actual removal.

Drat, I've made coffee instead of paint again. One day I'll get it right.

Different cultures count continents differently. I'm not sure about Spain, but you can check this out for how they're split sometimes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent#Number

Ugh, don't remind me (I get paid in JPY).

Historically, a lot of walking and eating home-cooked meals that were high in veggies and fermented foods and probably eating lots of seafood and seaweed with other proteins being less frequent.

Milk wasn't even a part of school lunches until after the war, so people still kicking from the pre-war times mostly grew up without it.

I suspect, though, that life expediencies here are going to drop. Lots of fried food and such these days and I see more and more obese people.

There's also a lot of time spent on continuing education. I'm not sure about the monetary cost, but some things definitely have costs associated.
