[Tadamasa Goto's] claim to infamy was alledgedly ordering a hit on the esteemed Japanese film director Juzo Itami in May 1992. Itami had directed a film called Minbo no onna, which, unlike all previous yakuza films in Japan, portrayed the yakuza as money-grubbing, ill-mannered louts, not noble outlaws. Goto was not pleased with the film and especially disturbed by the implications that yakuza did not live up to their threats. On May 22, five members of his organization attacked Itami in the parking lot in front of his house, slashing his left cheek and his neck, inflicting serious injuries upon him. Itami became a vocal supporter of the new anti–organized crime laws the Japanese government put in place that year and a general pain in the ass to organized crime. He was a living symbol of what the yakuza really did, not what they pretended to do. He allegedly killed himself a few years later by jumping from a tall building.

I'd imagine this is not uncommon of them though. It's a tidy way to off somebody in a city with lots of places to do it.

I think about this most times I eat ramen, and I eat ramen a lot.

Bit of trivia: the director Jūzō Itami was thrown off a rooftop by the yakuza and they typed up a suicide note for him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juzo_Itami#Death

Simple: just deny his denial. Now he has to provide proof.

His doctor said he needed more fiber in his diet.

This one is easy. His idea about what "doing really well with Russia" means is way different from what American officials have had for decades.

If blowing bubbles is a threat of assault leading to arrest, they will see throwing pink paint as way over the line. https://youtu.be/LaoXZeVTJAc

Doublethink.

That's the fast lane to having every company that values their IP exiting Brazil. Apple would roll their certificates and quit signing whatever Brazil was building with and Brazil's economy would be way worse off for nothing.

No, it's authentic.

 

Many cultures have decades of pop-culture anti-nazi media. What are some of your favorite video games, movies, music, tv shows, books, and other media that are anti-nazi?

One types of content I'd really like to see here is guidance from experienced pilots on how to get started. There is a lot of conflicting information and deferral to non-cited authorities online, and even those authorities sometimes have ambiguous and conflicting information. I'd love to see posts like "I am a part 107 certified pilot in X jurisdiction and here are my top 10 do's and don'ts, and my preflight checklist."

One particularly confusing aspect I've encountered is all the differences on drones 250g and above. It seems to me like so much FAA guidance is written with complete disregard for drones below 250g, so much so that I'm not sure if I have to be licensed, if I have to register my drone, if I need to label it, if I'm allowed to fly in various circumstance and times, all because they appear to write a lot of their documentation as if all drones weigh more than 250g. As a result of this ambiguity and confusion I'm considering getting part 107 certified just to cover my bases, but even then, I wouldn't feel confident that I understood the laws and regulations.
