  • I wish I could help more, but the old “side jobs are forbidden” being in the company handbook is legally flimsy, if not completely unenforceable. Just because your company says so, or it’s in your contact doesn’t actually make it legal.

    The MHLW states that it actually has to provably interfere with your job in some way. The hours outside your day job are your own, not your companies. Don’t close your kojinjigyo and just submit your own tax adjustment every year. Unless you’re making lots of money your HR won’t even know.




  • the Japanese of imperial era have been dead and buried for over 80 years

    The government has refused to apologize. Schools don’t say anything bad about imperial Japan. Every new years my local shrine hangs up the rising sun flag signed by all the local soldiers who were out commiting heinous acts in neighbouring countries. If you’ve ever visited Japan and stayed in an APA hotel, the owner is the Japanese equivalent of a Holocaust denier and has a book in the drawer of every room explaining Japan did nothing wrong. Even the Hiroshima peace museum starts its plea for pity with “somehow Japan found itself at war”. Not to mention government celebration of war criminals at Yasukuni.

    Japan has a cultural problem acknowledging their wrongdoings during the war. Japanese people are now very pro-peace in general, but it’s a mistake to pretend the past can’t repeat if we don’t remember and understand it.






  • Is there more context that obviously identifies it as a Jewish caricature?

    I’m pretty sure this guy tried to sell me a moped in Macedonia.

    –edit–

    Here’s Macklemore’s response to the accusation:

    He explained that he randomly chose the elements of the outfit so that he could disguise himself and move freely around during the secret show.

    “I acknowledge how the costume could, within a context of stereotyping, be ascribed to a Jewish caricature,” he wrote.

    “I am here to say that it was absolutely not my intention and unfortunately at the time I did not foresee the costume to be viewed in such regard.”
