Requiring N2 won’t fix exploitation-it just adds red tape while companies keep abusing visas. Instead of punishing employers, they make foreigners jump through hoops. Classic bureaucratic BS: complicate the process, pretend it’s a solution. It’s a Potemkin village built on whitewashing systemic failure. Blame the gaijin, ignore the rot. They’d rather complicate survival than fix the system. Typical j-government farce.

I took a little #astronomy in college so I have a v*e*r*y basic understanding of the physics involved, but I'm still just blown away that, despite distances, the earth keeps the moon in orbit, the sun keeps the earth in orbit, yet a rocket can beat the pull of gravity, etc.

Shoot, even when I'm on a plane, I'm amazed that big hunk of metal can lift into the air!

As much as I appreciate #GrapheneOS as a project and as my daily driver for the past years I have to say that the team behind it has a severe problem of being paranoid and toxic towards their own community.
I got blocked for simply asking a quastion and stating the obvious.

Genuinely curious how is 12bytes a neo-nazi conspiracy site? Besides that I'm sorry to say that but Micay was in fact quite paranoid and really toxic. This is probably why a lot of people are suspicious of the allegations you are making right now.

@redhero and the next steps are obvious, because Japan:

1. There will be an investigation
2. The principal will be "stood down"
3. The principal will be quietly shuffled off to another school halfway across the country
4. The noise will die down, and the authorities will quietly close the investigation

Every damn time.

fellow #antiai -ers, some #kurasushi #くら寿司 stores are forcing eat-in patrons to have your faces scanned by AI. there is a tablet on the coveyor belt, if customers smile at its camera, the video on the tablet changes from "crying cat" to "smiling cat". no warning or privacy notices before entering the store, not even in japanese. im sticking to #sushiro from now on. #japan #回転寿司
