This thread: advocating guillotines like the French Revolution, but not being able to spell common French loanwords.

It's a meme from the Worst Lifehacks thread.

Look at the Nissan CEO who Japan is going after for like $40 million in unpaid taxes. The guy had more money than 99.9% of the world, but he just had to have a little bit more.

Eh, I'm reasonably sure there's a heaping side element of "he pissed off the wrong people and so they came after him for something that everyone does and there was tacit acceptance of but was technically against the law" involved. Same kind of thing happened in Olympus when Woodford starting digging into their dirty laundry, and oh what a coincidence, Nissan just happens to want to get out of their existing partnerships at the moment and what better way than by saying "we don't trust this FOREIGN ceo you foisted on us and who led us back into healthy profitability now that he's a lawbreaker"?

The media here is pretty tightly controlled by business interests so you can be drat sure that nowhere near half the relevant info is ever going to be published.

Also change your username, you loving sadist <:mad:>

"do japanese zoning"

You mean "no zoning beyond 'this developer delivered a briefcase full of cash and took me to a top-class brothel so I'm gonna sign whatever the gently caress he puts in front of me"?

This seems very interesting and also shows the importance of a unitary, national policy on these things could be beneficial.

Interesting for sure but his whole discussion is in the theoretical context of "this model allows for X and Y and Z", whereas the actual result of those models plus Japanese bureaucrats is "haphazard placement of literally everything makes for butt-loving-ugly towns with the sole exception of areas where the median income is in the top 10%".

I'm sure my neighbourhood is covered by the same national plan as Den-en-chōfu and Azabujūban are, but for some reason mine has a child's collage of structures thrown together under several dozen strands of powerlines whereas the other two look more like actual neighbourhoods.

Does this topic have enough legs to warrant its own thread? I'll start one if so

E: vvvvvvvv What?

And for the poster who can't seem to find these without a link......copy the title of the post and past it into teh googles. If you have a 'puter made in the last few years you can just put it up in that "eral bar" and everything will work out.

Lol at "'puter", like what the gently caress were you shooting for there motronic

I would also like my corpse to remain thoroughly unsexed when I’m dead. Won’t be alive for that but it feels creepy as hell in life

I'm not sure if this is a deliberate self-own or an inadvertent one but either way, it's hilarious.
