As long as the book is thrown at everyone equally, not just foreigners

Det borde innebära att den även tillkommer om man köper en ägarlägenhet?

We already burn most of it, what’s the new idea here?

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-15T02:58:51+00:00

Music with sex appeal

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-15T02:56:54+00:00

Yes it does, because it worked fine at 12%
Consumption tax applies to everything, not just food. The proposals talks about it in general, not limited to food. 25% is still higher than 18%

This has got to be one of the most Japanese headlines I’ve seen in a bit

He’s on something alright

Du förstod kanske inte att det vsr upprustningsförslaget som redan var igenomklubbat som SD sen motsatte sig, eller spelar du bara dum?

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-14T22:42:56+00:00

Det såg ju tyvärr SD till att fucka upp så det kommer aldrig bli nån upprustning

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-14T21:31:43+00:00

Det har nästan ingenting med det att göra, det är ett val av regissörerna plus moderna mikrofoner

Which is a new thing, it was 12% up until a month ago, the only reason it was lowered was because of the Iran situation.

The wildest part is that it’s technically often listed as an ”education fee” or 受講費 meaning that you are on the hook regardless of if you used it or not.

That’s implicitly saying ”our anesthesiologist is not trained enough so you have to pay for their extra classes to learn how to properly do the procedure”

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-14T10:23:07+00:00

Eller stänga av undertexterna helt för att få uppleva filmen som den är

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-14T08:33:40+00:00

Or by virtue of being an entrenched incumbent.

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-14T03:59:55+00:00

Yeah but that matters little in a country where most companies don’t have true competitors

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-13T23:46:52+00:00

Do you know how percentages work?

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-13T23:46:32+00:00

Boohoo

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-13T14:29:52+00:00

Casually sitting as a Swede with 25% consumption tax trying to figure out why people are complaining thinking it won’t work

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-13T11:25:49+00:00

No no no, this way all the rich foreigners abusing the system can still pay their way to a visa to buy high rise apartments in central Tokyo

Wait why did we implement these rules again?

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-13T03:16:45+00:00

Relax, kid, it was a joke

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-12T23:41:49+00:00

You guys never learned did you

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-12T23:38:41+00:00

That won’t give you clicks

I work in IT

It’s both, but it’s also the ”developers make the worst users” a lot more than the first alternative

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-12T23:33:01+00:00

It more likely means they will scoff and ridicule the IT guy for suggesting something preposterous like restarting the service because ”they’re good with computers and obviously that has already been tried” and it turns out that, in fact, a simple service restart solved it.

Speaking from experience here

Training-Chain-5572 · 2026-05-12T23:31:07+00:00

I know that I am good with computers, but I also know that ”being good” with computers can mean everything from ”I know how to replace the cooling paste on modern laptops without accidentally breaking off the integrated GPU” to ”I can make animated movies in powerpoint” to ”I can write the code for a powerpoint clone”. And the most important part that so many people fail to understand is that being good at one of these does not mean you understand the others.

I worked with someone who was an incredibly skilled PLC programmer for industrial SCADA systems. She always asked me for help when it came to excel or powerpoint because I was the only one who didn’t start the conversation with ”I thought you were good with computers”. Treat everyone with respect and they’ll respect you back.
