Eh… Unless you are actually Japanese, you’re probably going to be hanging out with other ex-pats, or just very lonely.
Japan is an extremely conservative and insular country. They don’t really mind people visiting for the most part, but they don’t really think highly of people actually immigrating there.
There are ethnic Koreans who have lived in communities in Japan for hundreds of years who are still considered outsiders and are treated like second class citizens.
Growth doesn’t mean revenue over cost anymore, it just means number go up. The easiest way to create growth from nothing is marketing tulips to venture capital and retail investors.
I think you mean to say, my “feels” are based on justification!
Is English your second language?
Btw abortions rock, I’m responsible for my fair share,
I dont think that’s the brag you seem to think it is?
but I think using clickbaiting as a weapon is bad, even when it’s for good causes
You haven’t explained how you think this is click bait… Something doesn’t automatically become click bait, just because you think it’s over an excitable topic. That would make all headlines click bait, based on the subjectivity of the observer.
“something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest”
There’s a reason we have the Jenova Convention, after all
Lol, it’s like I’m talking to an AI that’s done way too many whippits.
The geneva convention, is an agreement pertaining to how soldiers interact with civilians during times of conflict. It has nothing to do with what we’re talking about.
Oh because it’s all just for optics.
Hey, that’s a highly reductionist take. When did super charging the military industrial complex become “just for optics”?
Without funneling billions of dollars to corporations like RTX, this would be a very wildly unamerican conflict.
But your “justification” is based on feels…
The article goes into great detail supporting the substance of the title, meaning it’s not click bait or manipulation.
You are the one attempting to manipulate people by claiming that the title is something it’s not.
Lol, you can’t confirm it’s click bait unless you read the article…
None of your critiques are valid, as the substance of the article is congruent with the messaging in the title.
You’re just being lazy.
Yeah, I could, but it’s a perfectly valid line of conversation to critique a post’s title.
I don’t think laziness is a valid line of criticism. I also find it strange to critique a title separate from its intended context.
we have the saying, “Always judge a book by its cover, and judge a response by it’s grammar”
I don’t think that’s a very common idiom. It seems to imply that pedantry is more important than substance.
Depends, but most of the time with NDA they don’t prohibit you from talking about how an accident happened. They just don’t allow you to assign liability/responsibility to the company.
The victim and the family of the victim kinda fell over themselves to make it clear that they don’t blame the company, despite the fact that they were so negligent.
To be fair, they may have signed an NDA as part of their workers comp agreement. The prosthetics he has are pretty rare to see on people, as most private and socialized insurances won’t cover microprocessing knee units.
The vast majority of the time when you see a high end powered knee unit on a guy that young, it’s because they had a workers comp case, or they got them at the Walter Reed veterans hospital.
The knee looks like a Genium x3, which alone can bill for around 100k. His prosthetic feet bill for around 10k a piece, and then there’s probably another 50k for custom sockets.
Even if he did harbor a grudge against the employer, in his position it would be difficult to rock the boat and potentially be on the hook for his acquired medical cost.
It’s unfortunate, but I’ve definitely had a patient who was successfully sued for losing their leg at work. Word to the wise, don’t get hurt on the job in Kansas.
You could always read the article…
If you don’t work for Samsung or SK Group you are lower class.
I mean, that’s just factually incorrect. South Korea has a fairly large manufacturing economy, a lot of my family are shipwrights and make really decent money. The other half of my family works for banks and for the government, none of them are considered low class.
South Korea does have a pretty brutal work regiment, but they also have very aggressive trade unions who aren’t afraid to go on massive and often violent strikes.
old friends who do work for those Chaebols will stop associating with you.
According to who? I mean you may stop seeing them as often, but that’s just because the work culture often extends out of office. It’s pretty traditional to go out drinking or eating with your coworkers, but that doesn’t mean people stop associating with their friends who don’t work with them.
Not to sound too Korean… but, that’s kinda the social repercussion of electing war criminals, then the children of war criminals, and the grandchildren of war criminals to lead your country.
Modern Japan is a weird poly-sci experiment examining what would happen if you took guns away from a fascist government.
Yeah, pediatric care is both tremendously rewarding and horrendously soul crushing depending on what department you’re working in. You eventually build up some callouses over the years, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit summers haven’t lost some of its luster because of my job.
Engaging with families who went from having some of the best time of their lives to the worst moments of their existence over the course of the evening is still tough.
Unfortunately, that’s not an uncommon experience. For some reason a lot of parents who normally wouldn’t leave their kids unsupervised with a 700 pound piece of industrial machinery, are completely okay with letting them operate and drive a 700 pound piece of equipment with virtually no safety features.
Every crash is a bit different, but overall tbi are the most dangerous aspects of survivable motorcycles mva. For the most part, fractures aren’t as big of a deal as one would first think. Mostly because if you end up laying your bike down and then hit something at speed you’re either dead, or in such bad shape that fractures are the least of your worries.
Soft tissue damage is usually what you’ll see in accidents not involving another vehicle. Lots of gnarly hematoma, lacerations, and friction burns, which will need to be debrided by a nurse with an acrylic brush and saline. Judging by the amount of tough biker dudes I’ve seen scream and cry for their moms during brushy brushy time…it seems like one of the more painful things that happen in the trauma ward.
Oh, and last but not least… Motorcycle mva are one of the most common reasons for traumatic based castrations. In accidents where the rider is ejected forward, their boys will make some pretty extreme contact with the fuel tank. Causing them to swell up to the size of mangos, which often leads to the need for surgical removal.
Not that it should be mandated by law, but that it’s simply the wise thing to do. Then people are like 'wELL I gUeSs YoU ShOUld THeN wEaR a HElmEt whiLE walKinG tOo
I don’t think people really understand just how devastating head injuries can be, and just how easy it is to get a tbi when on a surface as hard as concrete.
Even when doing something as simple as walking/running on wet concrete is deceptively dangerous. Every summer the trauma ward I work in has to deal with dozens of kids acquiring life altering tbi for doing something as mundane as running near a pool.
The ironic thing about bikers not wanting to wear helmets is that if you’re not lucky, you’ll end up being fit with a soft shell one at the hospital after you’ve bashed your head anyways. I’ve fit a bunch of people with orthopedic helmets for not wearing helmets over the years.
Please don’t forgot to wear a helmet when riding on 4 wheelers or ATVs.
Also, just because it claims to be an all terrain vehicle doesn’t make it true. I would avoid riding these in any wooded areas or on sloped or rough terrain while riding solo.
I work in a trauma ward that has an ATV season. I feel like the stigma of wearing helmets has reduced over the years, as I’m having to put less people in orthopedic helmets every year. However, there are just as many people getting crushed by their vehicles.
4 wheelers have a nasty habit of rolling and pinning their riders. If this happens and you’re alone it can easily cripple or kill you. One of the more common severe injuries is having your leg pinned against the motor or exhaust and having your leg or arm slowly cooked to the point where they need to be amputated.
I fucking wish. At least then I wouldn’t have to be put on hold for 30 min just to have to eventually explain to a person who was hired 3 weeks ago how to do their job.
Private insurance always has you speak to an actual adjuster for authorization, mainly because they know any sort of automated system would be more accurate and faster than having you talk to their undertrained and understaffed employees.
Private insurance’s goal is to erect as many barriers between the provider and the patients as possible, and then blame the provider for all the barriers. It works every time.
“I have the best insurance, they told me it would be covered”. Nope, Medicare is the best insurance and you traded that away for a privatized Medicare supplemental that lies to you about your coverage.
don’t think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious.
I don’t either, but the critics that love art house movies prob do.
I have friends who have learned the language and studied at the university of Tokyo and still have a rough time. Loneliness and isolation is a very common complaint of foreigners staying in Japan for prolonged stays.
You may have a different experience, as you married into the culture, and thus have a family there to help break the ice.
How is this not conservative and insular?
Again… This doesn’t really seem to be helping your assertion.
Zainichi Koreans make up the vast majority of Koreans living in Japan, with a current population of a little over a million people. And by “weird spot” you mean decades of intense discrimination, including denying them access to basic healthcare.
North Koreans make up a small minority of Koreans living in Japan. All Korean nationals were stripped of there citizenship in the 50’s, and only regained the option of applying for citizenship in the 90’s. With the predication that they would be assimilated into Japanese nationality of course.
Framing Japanese culture as conservative and insular was the polite way of saying they’re still a fascist country, run by the children of war criminals. The only difference big difference is they got their guns taken away. But, they’re still denying well documented war crimes, and funding temples built to honor people who weaponized rape on a massive scale.
