Dagwood222 , (edited ) in Lauren Boebert's son was arrested over a spate of thefts as his mom tries to convince voters to look past her chaotic family life

Hunter Biden has entered the chat…

edit = I figured it was obvious that i was being sarcastic and equating Bobo’s Hunter hatred with her own attempts to cover up her baby’s crimes.

Just to be explicit, I’m slamming on Bobo, not Hunter or his dad.

Hunter Biden the elected congressman?

Illuminostro ,

Fuck Putin.

Dagwood222 ,

See my edit.

I was trying to slam Bobo, not say that Hunter was a real issue.

Illuminostro ,

Ah, my bad

Dagwood222 ,

I just found the whole thing funny.

Have a great night and enjoy!

You too, compadre.

werefreeatlast , in Japan’s birth rate hits historic low - International Monitor

My Mexican people? Where are they? Do japanese tortillerias not exist? Tortillerias are the key! We Mexican people fuck like bunnies supposedly allegedly. So just bring a few, do some testing and if they like the results let’s get some more!

tiredofsametab ,

Do japanese tortillerias not exist?

Not really. Also, finding good mexican food in Japan can be quite rough (especially out of the bigger few cities, and many places adjust to Japanese tastes).

werefreeatlast ,

Sounds like a job for a special kind of Mexican. All we need is one who can carry a corn seed to fruition. From there, once you got 1 ear of corn and probably beans too, you can mexicanize. That’s the reason there are no humans in Mars yet. Why? No tortillas man!

They don’t want Mexicans, or any other peoples, they want to stay in their little racist bubble.

werefreeatlast ,

That’s what I hear. I mean Mexico is no different. It’s shocking for me going back to Mexico and all you see is Mexican people. I feel more at home because everyone is relatively the same and looks like me. But I’ve gotten used to the huge variety of the USA. Man, here, even at my job now, we got people from all places, Mexico obviously, Cuba, India, the US obviously, England, Korea, China, Philippines. We’re a small company and look how even if it was just one person from each different place, we are already at a nice 10% multicultural. And it really feels at home. I’m happy listening to all sorts of ways of being.

tiredofsametab ,

You need a 4-year degree and a company to sponsor you which, compared to a lot of countries, is a fairly low bar. You can also go the education route and go to language school and/or university here. There are also other ways to come over in addition to that. The above poster seems to just be repeating bullshit or have a chip on their shoulder.

tiredofsametab ,

Man, someone should tell them that so they can revoke my status of residency that they keep accidentally renewing every single time for the better part of a decade now. And the people that employee me in Japan. And the people who let me buy a house in Japan.

Deceptichum ,
@Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh wow residency! And they graciously allow you to renew it!

Gee golly, what’s the foreign born citizenship rate at?

tiredofsametab ,

You did not mention citizenship in your post. Japan does not allow dual citizenship (there are some grey zones here, however). The bar to apply for citizenship, however, can actually be lower than the bar for permanent residency in some cases. As for how many people give up their citizenship to naturalize, I can't be bothered to look right now. I personally know one person who did and have heard from others.

Deceptichum ,
@Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works avatar

Being a temp worker who can be kicked out at any time would not imply you’re wanted there - so it’s kind of a given. Even if we factor residency into it, you’re looking at 3% of the population being non-Japanese.

Japan is famously xenophobic, just because you’re allowed to work there doesn’t change that. You’ve been there a decade, do the locals consider you Japanese?

tiredofsametab ,

I mean, that's the way immigration works in most countries around the world for average people. I don't have to like it, but I will have PR next year.

Yeah, last I looked between 2.5 and 3 percent are non-Japanese with about .5 of that being non-Asian.

I don't care whether the locals consider me Japanese or not; that's not an important thing for me. My relationship with my neighbors is fine. My wife's family loves me and we get along very well. People in my neighborhood will strike up conversation when they see me out gardening. That's fine for me. I don't aspire to "be Japanese" and I don't know what that even means. I aspire to be part of my community.

Does Japan have its issues? Absolutely. Are there policies that disproportionately affect foreigners? Unfortunately, yes (though things have been slowly improving in my decade here, on the whole). However, none of this is particularly unique to Japan, either.

helenslunch , in Kellogg CEO now faces backlash for suggesting people eat 'cereal for dinner' to save money
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

I mean Kellogg’s sells A LOT of cereal, and some of them are very healthy and very cheap so it’s not a terrible suggestion.

Breezy ,

Is there any cereal that’s “very healthy”? Or was that idea just pushed to sell more cereal.

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Sure. Try corn flakes or anything with oats that doesn’t have a shitton of sugar added. Certainly many of them have nearly 0 nutritional value but others are some of the healthiest stuff you can eat.

BrowseMan ,

Euuuuh I don’t know in the US but in Europe “corn flakes” have so much sugar they are everything except healthy

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Notice the lack of capital letters. “corn flakes” in the general sense don’t have any added sugar. They’re just corn flakes. If you’re looking at Frosted Corn Flakes that’s a different story.

Also milk is very calorie dense so you have to watch out for that.

What Kellogg’s cereals are both “very healthy” and “very cheap”?

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Well I meant cereal in general but looking at the actual ingredients very briefly both Corn Flakes and Special K only have 4g of sugar per 1 1/4 cup servings.

otp ,

Fibre One? The one without the extra stuff. Maybe that.

It’s not a meal replacement, but it has a lot of fibre.

Breezy ,

Ooh you reminded me of this bean cereal i used to get from krogers years ago, they were sorta healthy i believe with plenty of fiber and protein. Imma look for it next time im there now.

dugmeup ,

Kellogg is easily twice as expensive as no brand cereal.

It’s a tone deaf response is the issue. CEOs are at the top of the pyramid. People want empathy and actions to reduce the massive strain of costs. Instead of something constructive like “Yes the cost of living is a crisis. Kellogg provided X to food banks and will increase Y or provide a new line of affordable lower cost cereal” he went “Ya.you fucked. Buy more Kelloggs and eat it for dinner. Cause why the fuck do you plebs want dinner? JUST BUY KELLOGS BRO!”

IRS can’t/won’t do shit about the real tax offenders.

They are there for the illusion of a fair/balanced market.

d00ery , in Tuition will be free at a New York City medical school thanks to a $1 billion gift

Who decides what where money should be spent? Great that it benefits this school, but perhaps it could have been spread among multiple schools.

TechNerdWizard42 , in Inside the IRS unit taking on America’s millionaires and billionaires

Lol, bullshit. The IRS has lawyers, they have smart people. Rich people can hire others too. If you make the laws so asinine and complex that it takes a consortium of lawyers to figure it out, then you have failed the basic concept.

Do not be mad that people are playing your game. And beating you at it. Be mad that the game exists. It is also well known that the IRS specifically targets many people too poor to afford and representation because they are easy money that will pay a fine, even if unjust or wrong, versus fighting it.

Like a small bully of a child. Loves to enforce their rules against those weaker than them, but cries for mommy when someone finally stands up to them.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

You’ve got it completely wrong.

The consortium of lawyers isn’t there to figure out how to pay taxes correctly. The consortium of lawyers is there to exploit rules and manipulate assets in such a manner as to make it difficult to tax a wealthy individual’s worth, or allow them to avoid taxation as much as possible. Furthermore, the lawyers are there to drag out and defend against any IRS investigations in order for that wealth to continue accumulating and that any fines or judgments are less than the cost of engaging in such efforts.

TechNerdWizard42 ,

That’s exactly what I said. The rules exist and the game is played. Don’t be mad that the game is played. If it was illegal to stall an investigation, they wouldn’t be. If it wasn’t legal to claim a million different deductions, they wouldn’t. But it legal and it is used.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

You can hate how the game is played when the players exploiting it paid to have the rules written for them.

TechNerdWizard42 ,

Not at all. Because that is the major part of the game. The US is not some democracy. It’s an oligarchy run republic. Affirmation of things like citizen’s united and freely allowing unlimited money lobbiests confirms it.

If you don’t like how the system works, then revolution is needed to change it. Trying to say the rules aren’t being used fairly means nothing. Laws don’t have morals or ethics. If it is the rule, it’s the rule. Use it and abuse it. Or change the rule.

veniasilente , in U.S. Air Force member who set himself on fire outside Israeli Embassy in D.C. has died
@veniasilente@lemm.ee avatar

Honestly I don’t understand this thing of thing. If you are so for freeing Palestine, or against Israel, and limited to being one person, wouldn’t it make more sense / do more overall good if you can take down at least one israeli with you? Instead of burning down alone.

Frankly, it barely counts as a symbolic gesture.

aStonedSanta ,

I think most Americans have lost their empathy and this type of commentary right here highlights it.

veniasilente ,
@veniasilente@lemm.ee avatar

Most Americans believe everyone else in the world is also American and views thing with skewed American morals, and this type of comment right here highlights it.

Hadriscus ,

No, bro, you can’t magic-mirror this kind of criticism.

Halosheep ,

Ignoring empathy, the fuck is one dude killing himself supposed to achieve?

Change the mind of the ultra wealthy influencing the decisions whether or not the US involves itself? They don’t give a fuck if some random military dude dies. It’s what they want. War makes a lot of people a lot of money.

aStonedSanta ,

The goal is to create public discourse around the topic would be my understanding. Again. You are hating on him for picking an avenue and doing it. What have you done other than argue against his actions?

Halosheep ,

Not killed myself, that’s for sure lol.

aStonedSanta ,

Also. One does not simply ignore empathy. That would make you a sociopath so thinking in that mindset is insane to me.

Hadriscus ,

Take down one israeli ? so, which one ?

veniasilente ,
@veniasilente@lemm.ee avatar

Dunno. The most feasible one / one within reach? There must have been some Israeli there, it was literally their embassy.

Unless the move was more pre-planned, it would have to come to a split second decision I guess.
