"According to documents obtained by the Kumamoto Nichinichi Shimbun, in addition to the names and biographies of the university professors surveyed, "emotions toward Japan," "emotions toward the Self-Defense Forces," and "ideas and beliefs" were compiled in detail in a report called "Personal BSD (Basic Source Data)," and at least several thousand people were stored within the Asaka Garrison It appears to be shared. One former member said, "We have not given consent to the target group." He testified that the purpose and legal basis for the activities had never been demonstrated within the unit.""

"The Ministry of Defense said, "We are not aware of the collection of personal information of citizens that is the basis for (Kumabi's) interviews. "It will take time to verify the facts, but we would like to take some kind of action," he said."

Another "democracy" that's closer to being like an authoritarian hellhole than the countries they criticize.

 

They attributed the contradiction largely to China as “the invisible hand that is rebalancing the market,” due to its ability to curb oil imports by about 3 million barrels per day – an amount nearly equal to Japan’s total crude demand.

China was able to significantly pare down consumption for several reasons. Before the war, China was building back-up crude inventories, aided by cheap deliveries of sanctioned oil from Russia and Iran

By cutting down on imports, relying on vast stockpiles and utilizing more clean energy, China has been able to cushion the impact of higher prices at home, if not alleviate it completely.

So...Trump went to war with Iran and China wins? Why is he so f***ing stupid? Also, can we just go full hog into renewable energy investment and side line naysayers? It's literally becoming a national security issue at this point.

2 weeks

Watched a bunch of horror and mind bending anime similar to SEL and Blood. I binged ate tempeh and rice those 2 weeks, drank Moutai, and got heavily invested in calligraphy.

    I want to visit the Obama Library. I served when he was President and things were a lot better under him and Biden than Trump by a wide margin. We really didn't know how good we had it.

    Feels bad man...

    The Higginbotham family previously said that the 20-year-old went missing after an argument over artificial intelligence during a family trip and feared he could have been “emotionally distressed.”

    His mother said that her son was last known to have entered the mountainous forest area near Yamashina, Kyoto, where there are water sources but limited food.

    So what happened?

    I don't think he decided to end it all over AI and his mothers use of ChatGPT. Makes more sense that he slipped and either broke something or fell in a body of water and drowned.

    Either way, horrible way to go at such a young age.

     

    “There’s no artificial intelligence without actual intelligence,” he said on “Mad Money.” “The knowledge has to come from somewhere, and Reddit is one of the primary sources for that sort of information that AI’s crave, but also that people crave.”

    Reddit is one of the primary sources for that sort of information that AI’s crave

    Now it all makes sense.

    AI was trained on humans that don't know how to act like humans, so AI has like a double dose of uncanny valley to it.

    That and it makes sense why AI uses so many emojis, cheesy one liners, and can a massive fence sitter. God forbid we get an LLM that can give a constructive, well thought out opinion.

    Just like a typical Redditor, gotta get them stars and updoots.

     

    This is the fundamental flaw in cloud moderation: Google scans your files for "policy violations." The system cannot distinguish between an artist archiving their own legally published work and someone uploading prohibited material. When the consequences include losing access to email, documents, calendars, and every service linked to that account, the cost of a false positive becomes catastrophic.

    Something similar happened to a man who had photos of his own children on his Google Drive. They alerted to police due to possible CSAM. Got the guy wrapped up in a couple months of legal trouble.

    People really need to learn how bad cloud storage is and why hosting locally is crucial for security and your own safety.

    Host locally. Encrypt. Don't trust any company with storing your sensitive files.

     

    Blame tourist for all your countries problems

    Refuse tourist into many Izakayas for decades

    Fail to capture the tourist market for decades

    Prices rise and force out much of the native population

    Try to pivot to the same tourist you told to GTFO and never marketed to

    ??????

    FORECLOSURE!

    Literal pottery.

    Not a smart marketing decision to gatekeep Izakayas from people with money. Many tourist out earn even the most skilled of salarymen by a wide margin. Not marketing to this group has been a massive mistake, foolish.

     

    Chinese nationals are among those increasingly seeking to move to Japan. In some cases, parents hoping to accompany children studying in Japan set up businesses and come to the country on business manager visas. One administrative scrivener who helps Chinese clients obtain and renew their residency status said, "While there are people who seriously run businesses, some obtain residence status as managers using business plans and corporate registrations with no real substance." According to him, there are also cases in which people create fictitious transactions among acquaintances to show the business performance needed for renewal, or obtain residence status using a dummy company and work at a different company instead.

    Stop moving to Japan and trying to live there.

    The country has been dying for decades, and is far behind China and America. They've been deceiving people for decades that they're some super power, or ahead of the curb in tech.

    This was true during the 80s and 90s, but not now. Japan has a dying population, a retirement fund that is quickly running out, a robotics sector that values demonstrations over actually useful products (China has cornered the market on a generalized, cheap, easy to produce robot useful for general labor and simple tasks), and a government that is placing the blame all on immigrants.

    They have always had a problem with foreigners, it's why they committed some of the worst massacres and genocides of the Chinese, Filipinos, Malays, and other SEA and Asian people. They hate you, don't let Anime or goon bait brain wash you into thinking overwise.
