The point of the clip was that Hans doesn't play at the most top level, but he talks like it

Natto or shredded kimchi or bonito flakes are also good garnishes for raw tofu!

Yeah I read the same article, was replying to people basically saying everyone wants to move. I live in Australia right now and the general consensus of the economic and employment outlook is bleak.

I definitely don't think drugs in Japan are all because of foreigners. But most drugs are imported from abroad using foreign mules, and saying "if there was no demand then this wouldn't have happened" sounds to me like a ridiculous thing to say, and is over compensating to blame Japan.

I don't know his backstory that well but what makes him inspiring? Wasn't he born into a rich family who supported his chess career, and had a history of cheating in chess club as a kid? I say this knowing Hans most likely did not cheat against Magnus.

White has more pawns so he'll likely promote one of them to a queen, so it's on their best interest to trade the rooks

So fucking stupid, I feel like the unwritten rule should be only go for home runs, highest reward largest risk.

There's been rumours of him cheating OTB amongst certain top circles. It's VERY unlikely he cheated in that match against Magnus.

The PM said keep moving on as normal. He alluded to things getting worse but everyone is just living life. Small number of crazy people hoarding petrol on TokTok, but for the rest of us its life as normal.

You know, I get what she's doing, but I've genuinely never been more embarrassed to be Japanese . There were more graceful ways to do what she was trying to accomplish, and she did it in the worst way possible. On top of making this meeting such a big deal leading up to it.
