Sounds very much like the homophobes who rail against the “temptation” of homosexuality.

This is what people do when they lack any sense of impermanence.
When you go through life never thinking “I’m going to get old, I may get sick, frail, injured, or disabled, I may have someone living here who is or will be any of those things.”
Must be nice. Until it isn’t, of course.

I think it closed by 2002. I did my first 2-3 visa renewals in Tokyo there, then one at Otemachi, then by the time I was going spousal everything was on Alcatraz.

To me the greatest tragedy was when they shut down the satellite office in TCAT at Suitengu-Mae.
I think it was just intended for last-minute re-entry permits, but they had all the forms and it seemed like nobody else knew about it. I never saw more than one other person there.

The majority of people from the right who say they hate Labour aren’t going to switch parties over incremental ideological concessions that their own party was already supporting.

I think if you slice them very thin (instead of fat chunks straight from the can) and combine with savory veg like onion and pepper, maybe sausage, the sweetness blends well with the other flavors.

His main point was that he always wanted to use word of mouth rather than traditional advertising. He primarily talked about their office coffee service, and mentioned the Kit Kat strategy as a side note.

Evil genius tactic, I thought

I attended a talk by Takeuchi around 2013 where he described using a more guerrilla tactic of dumping empty Kit Kat wrappers at waste bins around test centers to provoke organic social media buzz. According to him it worked well and only cost a box of wrappers.

I’ve read about him getting thrown out of multiple meetings with other companies (back before he was the superstar of the 2000s and he actually needed partners) because he was so rude (putting his feet up on other people’s desks) and stank so badly.

Newspapers only have so much time, space, and manpower, and can’t go covering every little story. There was a black woman who may not have put enough citations in her thesis 30 years ago, after all.

They were totally fine with applying city planning solutions from abroad when it was to cut services under the guise of “stopping terrorism”.

It’s linked with getting rid of all the trash bins (they used to be all around, including on all the train platforms) then complaining that tourists are causing available bins to overflow.

I don’t know if it’s a different attitude toward resident needs, although it probably helped that the entire neighborhood got a rebuild, down to the street pattern, in the late 90s

That struck me when I was walking around Aoyama and needed to kill time. So different from my neighborhood in Arakawa where there’s public seating everywhere.

Is there a scent-based equivalent to the ultrasonic fence that stops dogs but doesn’t affect humans?

This was my first encounter with her work, and wow, without even getting to the blatant bigotry, the decision to call out other comics as poorly drawn and written must have involved quite a thought process.

Funny, I receive notices on a regular basis spelling out just what is and isn’t legal to give as gifts to government officials. Bags of rice are very firmly in the “isn’t” column.

I’ll believe it once he’s in the ground.
That said, most health grifters now don’t even try to set up the “terminal illness” phase before announcing their miracle cure. If it’s a con then at least he’s putting a bit of work into it.
