If you believe NATO is simply a puppet of the US, why didn’t Turkey, France or Germany participate in the war in Iraq? Why didn’t they obey their “emperor’s” orders?

I think you have a problem conflating a voluntary defensive organization with the actions of some of its members.

The US is an evil, imperialist power. So is Russia. For smaller countries bordering Russia, the only protection they have from Russian aggression is NATO.

Ukraine decided to try to join the EU. They even agreed not to join NATO. Russia decided that Ukraine was their imperial property and wanted to deny it self determination so started a war that has caused over a million casualties.

Any attempted justification of that is a justification of fascism and imperialism. And there’s only one thing to do with fascists…

Interesting, thanks for the source.

Do they? Defenders traditionally only need 1/3rd the manpower of the attacker.

“Jaywalking” is a made up American crime.

A pedestrian existing on a street doesn’t justify a driver running them over.

The guy on the quad could have stopped if he feared an accident.

You have all my sympathy. As a father myself I couldn’t imagine the pain. Unfortunately it’s not an uncommon story for Japanese/Foreign couples.

Can you visit a solicitor’s office directly and ask for a consultation?

There are support groups based in Japan for exactly this situation as there are quite a few foreign fathers trying to get access to their children here. I don’t have the details of any on hand but it might be worth reaching out to them for options.

First thing you need to do is get legal representation and not try to represent yourself on this issue.

The other unfortunate comment I have, if Sora is already back in Japan, I’m very sorry to say there’s very little chance you will ever have custody again. Japanese courts will always support the side of the Japanese national in custody rights.

Irish law has no further bearing on this case unless Sora has Irish citizenship. If he does have a dual citizenship somewhere, it’s essential that you begin legal proceedings in the country that he is a citizen of rather than Japan, it needs to be taken through the Hague. While Japan recently became a signatory to the civil abductions convention, it does not appear to have been in good faith and they use it to support Japanese nationals in kidnapping children from abroad while denying justice to parents who are foreign nationals.

Finally, as a last resort, your only option to see him again may be to return to Japan and try to win partial custody in the courts. Or at least convince the mother (even by offering financial incentive) to allow visitation.

Are you listed as a parent on the Koseki? Because if not, even the above will be impossible. You will not be recognized as a parent and will have no rights.

A financial bubble about to pop?

Fast internet is what killed physical games.

Don’t they puff up when they’re stressed?

So this person is just abusing a wild animal on camera?

Why do you believe that Lenin’s narrow and skewed definition of imperialism is the only true and authentic one?

The word was in common use for at least 100 years before Lenin even started writing, mostly used to denigrate French and British expansion and colonialism.

I believe Marx would also disagree with Lenin on this definition, but I understand that .ml are much bigger fans of Lenin and Stalin than Marx.

If we actually had lots of surviving material like that it would be amazing.

Before the early modern period it was rare for people to write down boring or mundane shit because writing was hard and expensive.

I have 20 500GB HDDs I got for free off a client who was disposing of some old desktops, daisy chained through a series of powered USB hubs currently hosting my Jellyfin and Immich content.

I regret nothing.

Interns don’t actually do shit anyway.

He’d still have nothing to do in the office. Actually most people in an office are doing nothing regardless of title in my experience.

As Ranzispa says, he goes there to chat and bother everyone else rather than actually work.

I think you’ve confused suburban McMansions with a nice place to live.

No Senator, again, I’m Singaporean

Japanese people can be just as sarcastic as English speakers. It flies over your head unless you’re actually good at the language. Same as English.

Yep, definitely something you really needed. Fuckin idiots.

Learn to change your own oil people. You literally only need a socket wrench and and a drain pan. You don’t even need to jack a lot of cars up if you don’t mind squeezing under.

I’d rather die in a heatwave

Well I’ve got good news for you!
