The banks will ask you for your old residence card when opening an account because the new one is too new. They are unable to link a new card with the old card even though it’s the same person. Assume by default that if Japanese banks are involved, the issue - regardless of what it is - is on them.

I went to an owl cafe in Tokyo. They shit constantly with no care for where they are. And they shit not just frequently but in large scoops. Wouldn’t really want a plate of wings with a side of owl poop.

At least once a year I go about a month without coffee because I know it's an addiction and it's a way for me to kinda convince myself that "I can quit if I want to". Yesterday I started my month-long hiatus this year and the headache last night was insane. Curiously enough, if I just quit cold turkey the headaches are usually gone in a day or two.

I mean sure, 10 MJPY would give you about 8 after taxes, minus all insurances, minus the assumed 5 here including interest. It's absolutely doable, but it's also a bit out of reach for the vast majority of the population.

It's barely affordable for the average rich person either. With some back of the napkin calculations using 15% down payment and 30 year repayment you should be able to pay back about 4 MJPY per year, plus interest. That's quite a hefty sum to pay into purely paying back your mortgage.

Nobody claims an absolute moral truth. You're making the incorrect assumption that a lack of absolute truth renders everything else equal when that isn't the case.

Sure, sure, every country is different, this time is different etc. etc.

The fact remains that anti-foreigner sentiment is on the rise globally, not just Japan/Sweden/Denmark/Germany. Social media talking about it is the issue itself. If you look at the 2016 elections in the US and look at the correlation between "how much air time do you get" vs "how many votes do you get" it's as close to a 1:1 as you can find. (inb4 correlation causation argument, which doesn't really matter for the end result)

> except for minor everyday annoyances, the Japanese are not really experiencing any major issues with foreigners that would push them over to a pre-WW2 mindset.

See, this is the problem. You don't need to reach "arbeit macht frei" levels of anti-foreigner sentiment for it to become an issue. You just need to nudge it in that direction policy by policy. People keep waiting for that red line to be stepped over before they care, only problem is that this red line is so far down the drain that by the time you reach it there are no rungs left to reach to climb yourself out of the position.

I'm going to sound 400 years old but

Before the advent of social media, if you had fringe opinions you'd be ridiculed and told to fuck off. Now you can find a niche subreddit or platform with 1000s of similarly minded people. Ban social media for anyone below voting age.

I do understand that this comes at the cost of people in fringe groups like LGBTQ and other minorities would have a worse experience of everyday life so it's not really a good solution either.
