Japan probably won’t do anything more. I believe he has an entry ban for some time here (probably 5 years from whenever he was gone), but I don’t recall the exact details.
Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.

I fail to see what this has to do with visiting a couple of cities for a week or two as a tourist. If your argument is that a person cannot come from a country that has more rights or better wealth than another country, the dynamics to visiting anywhere get really weird.
I live near China but don’t go there because I don’t like the government. However, I’d love to see many archeological sites like Xi An and other places.


Because in Japan, they’d be had for battery. Even self defense in Japan as defined as enough, and only enough, to flee in most cases; punching someone who punches you doesn’t qualify if you can remove yourself from the situation otherwise.


Not for long enough. Shame that Japan didn’t have the balls to do it when he was a being a dick here.


People and land become “the stuff” and are abused and traded as they wish.
I’ve never met a protestant that wasn’t into a catholic saint’s day at least once a year (valentine’s day)


I was going to go with a large, heavy wrench.


I went to the original instance after this, found that name, and then searched my blocklist but didn’t see them. We might not be federated with that instance or something.


? I don’t see any other replies but mine. That’s weird.


Lebensraum. There’s no love (lieben) in this.


The world needs to cut the US out entirely for the foreseeable future.


Maybe. If it’s tied to a kharmic system and not sticking it out led to worse incarnations, that’d probably be a good countering force.
I do the same in Japan and mine never separates for whatever reason.


AFAIK, once you qualify for Social Security, you get it even if you stop being a citizen. I looked into it at some point as I plan to renounce once my parents pass (I already live overseas)


There’s a certain nostalgia for me. I watch some on youtube every now and again just to be reminded of the fashion and even just things I had that I’ve forgotten about.


100%. I recently had to use a fork somewhere and it felt so unwieldy.


There are a number of ways to count continents, none of them super great for all usages. Some separate North and South America.


I’m related to one. They believe everything Fox News says and will twist themselves into logical pretzels to attempt to justify it when presented with evidence countering the narrative Fox says, even if it directly contradicts their own experience.


I would love it if it let me live/work in Shengen countries
Is going to be earlier and waking just before things start heating up an option? Here in rural northeastern Japan, we do that to beat the heat of the day for work outside (getting up right around 4 or a bit before when days are their longest) and a lot of folks are asleep by 20 or 21.
