The way I've heard it said is "if you live in a developed country, you could probably afford to move to Japan right now. If you get a job in Japan, you'll never afford to move back."

Japan's cost of living is low compared to developed nations, but their average income is also low for a developed nation.

It's difficult to call for Trudeau to resign and also vote that you have confidence in Trudeau as a leader. Obviously he doesn't want to hand the government to the Conservatives but supporting Trudeau wasn't winning any favours either.

There's a reason Patrick Bateman worked in ~~murders and executions~~ mergers and acquisitions.

Real G's move in silence like lasagna

That's mixing up actions with intent. Their actions made it seem like it was a gift, sure. Their intent was that it was a prank. They even told the uncle it was a prank from the start.

If I go to a store an stick a PS5 into my jacket I can't be charged with theft. It looks like theft, but intent to steal needs to be shown. How do they know my intent isn't to pay for it? It's not theft until I leave the store without paying. Just like sticking a PS5 into my jacket isn't instantly theft, handing someone a PS5 isn't instantly a gift. Actions and intent are different things.

The article has been updated to say they're actually giving the kid a PS5 because of the bad press so in the end they're doing the right thing anyways.

Doctor: I have consulted decades of scientific literature to diagnose your ailment and provide a treatment plan based on humanity's continually improving understanding of the biochemical workings of our bodies.

Chiropractor: I have consulted a book written by D. D. Palmer in 1895 who was a magnetic healer, anti-vaccine, and anti-medicine. He says you have ghosts in your bones and it's messing with your natural healing powers. I'm gonna crack your back now. Yes I'm a doctor. Well not a doctor doctor, but you know.

See your problem is you're editing the code until it passes the tests. It's way easier if you edit the tests until it passes the code.

There are dozens of us. DOZENS!

I used to be a funeral director. The majority of outsiders were unaware of pretty much everything we did. Often on purpose because thinking of death is uncomfortable.

The biggest "secret" is probably that the modern funeral was invented by companies the same way diamond engagement rings were. For thousands of years the only people who had public funerals were rich and famous. It was the death of Abraham Lincoln that sparked the funeral industry to sell "famous people funerals at a reasonable price". You too could give your loved one a presidential send off! The funeral industry still plays into this hard, and I've found many people are simply guilt tripped by society to have a public funeral.

"So anyways that's why I've decided it's illegal for you to strike"

I applied for a warehouse job and the interviewer loved me and my resume and said I was hired, I just had to fill out a basic literacy test. I was studying at university so it was a silly thing to ask but he said it's just a formality; they have to do it.

One question said "describe yourself in three sentences". I wrote something like "I am very punctual. I enjoy stacking boxes. I'm a self starter. I always do more than asked." Get it? It's four sentences but they asked for three. The fourth one being about doing more than asked. Funny right?? Yeah the interviewer called me back saying head office didn't find it funny and I was disqualified for failing the literacy test.

I figured I dodged a bullet because it must suck to work for a bunch of people without a sense of humour!
