The last thing Japan needs right now. Some guy in Japan created an AI app that meets the need for affection and companionship amongst Japanese men, so they don't need to date. So Japan's birthrate will decline even faster. It's a sad state of affairs. What a man really wants is to have someone who just authentically enjoys having him around. Someone who is really happier when he's there. This app can simulate that, and if it succeeds, will likely spread to other cultures.

Schools get billions more. Kids drop out anyway. Money goes to teachers, who are busy protesting something, or striking, or going on leave, rather than teaching kids. Any wonder why kids don't want to go to school and get indoctrinated? Or get beaten up by transgenders M→F kids? I mean, you don't need to read or write or do math to graduate.

Here's the 2024 Republican party platform, in case you were curious. Seems reasonable to me.

Apparently many employers post fake job openings. Apparently to boost morale (huh?) and simulate that they're a growing company. What a waste of people's time.

Thieves stole the Sadako Sasaki statue, apparently for the scrap metal. Some people are really heartless.
