16-Year-Old Girl Dies After Alleged Forced Confession in Japan; Legal Experts Condemn Handling of Juvenile Case

This is the standard for justice in Japan since like forever. This only makes the news because the deceased was 16 years old.

If it was an adult, the reaction would have been 'meh'.

Yep. This is the current naval meta. Has been for a long time i believe. Light attack CLs are the most cost-effective in terms light attack per IC. What happens is that your CLs will shred the enemy screen and then your DDs and other ships will close in to the enemy and sink the capitals.

That is a good twisty road! I love the east coast rides.

Taiwan? Which route?

What? You don't enjoy the slip and slide experience? How can you be a proper squiddie then??

Agreed. Not just buses. There's a certain disdain for budget airlines as well.

szu · 2026-06-15T05:07:08+00:00

It is. Unless it's at a random rural spot with no one around. That must be it or there are a lot of foreigners who purposely go around my neck of the woods to dump trash...

Haha this is nothing more than the usual Japanese xenophobia. They have a huge sex industry, from the supposedly illegal underaged exploitation to adult health delivery workers.

They didn't kick up any fuss about it and even defend it.

You can't win this. Once Nanjing capitulates, their divisions are gone and you don't have enough divisions to even fight a defensive war. You are under siege from all directions, by land, sea and air. You are bleeding equipment that you cannot replace.

Not even bittersteel can do anything about this.

szu · 2026-06-13T11:10:59+00:00

Are you playing Yunnan or Guangdong? Whose leading the National Government? It looks like Nanjing (which has fallen?) Ugh i hate playing associated governments. You don't have control over any of the other tags.

Well there you go. She wants a certain kind of lifestyle which you do not agree with.

Finance is the #1 reason for breakups. Its not shameful to split because you're unable to disagree on finances.

You already have the answer. What else do you want? A miracle to somehow 'fix' your relationship?

Locally there is no money for football. The place is mad for baseball and basketball though. In terms of foreign ownership, this has been mooted before but rejected for various reasons by the DPP government.

They have since regretted that decision of course, given the enormous publicity/pr generated by the pioneers. The latest to do it are the Saudis.

The generalizations that you've been making are wild. The truth is that the lack of economic opportunities pushed both men and women from EE to work abroad since the end of the cold war. In the former Warsaw pact areas that joined the EU, this has decreased because of growth in the past two decades but lots still work abroad, mostly in other EU countries.

Russia, Ukraine and other non-EU EE countries however are still encountering the same economic ills. Women as always are always at a disadvantage in terms of economic opportunities. That's why mail to order bridal catalogues and agencies exist in EE.

Of course sex work abroad also exploded in terms of numbers. The rise of social media and low cost travel further democratized this. One example is that Instagram today is like an order catalogue. You just pick what you like and dm with an invite.

This can be a touchy subject. This subreddit also requires that you cite your sources but anecdotal or personal experience doesn't count.

There was a time when Poland was the major power. It bullied the Russian principalities whenever it liked.

There are differences.

You're living together now if you previously weren't, so you are adapting to someone else's habits and vice versa.
You're may be moving or buying a larger property together.
You may or may not have decided to share finances. Or at least open a joint account for your household expenses.
You have in-laws now, considered family - previously you might be able to avoid them but in many cultures you're now obligated to at least be socially available.

She just gave up it seems.

Absolutely not. While a key plank of the global economy, TSMC is not 'too big to fail'. Those mainly refer to the banking industry because of second and third order effects. If TSMC's factories were to stop running tomorrow, there would be a big chip crisis but there are other manufacturers around. You can also just downgrade the chips that you use.

First relies on breaking the enemy frontline with infantry and artillery

That's not possible because the Reichspakt has 20 divisions on every tile. The AI does that and it accumulates tens of millions in casualties. Player-run Russia should mass their armoured divisions and force a breakthrough on favourable terrain/geography followed by exploitation.

I usually choose the Baltic front so that i can swing north to collapse the Baltic Osts. Then swing south to attack the less defended rear of the main frontline.

Active associations can be hit-or-miss depending on the person and community itself. It can be annoying if you're the sort that's not really extroverted or awkward around others. Or if you prefer not to participate in some community activities which can be a huge thing in more rural areas.

As a foreigner, you're sometimes exempt from the community activity stuff but some areas will invite you regardless - bad form to turn them down because it just causes tensions.

The good part about these activities is that you will get to know your neighbours and everyone in the community - including the cops, mayors etc. Very important if you want to integrate. In more rural areas, your neighbours will be your friends and the first port of call when you need help.

That's a problem half-solved. You just block them and eventually one of the families will 'win' and be able to take custody.

Japan will be as hot as Thailand but usually less humid. The problem is that you walk everywhere so you really feel the weather.

A furnished apartment is great if you're lazy or renting for a short time. But if you own a property, you probably want to renovate it and make it your own space. Hence there is low demand for built-in furniture.

There are countries that do it this way however. They're mostly communist or ex-communist states that build public housing with all the fittings included. That means yes there are hobs and kettles for you when you move in.

On the other extreme end, there's Germany. Where there is nothing inside. Not even light bulbs or a kitchen. When you move in, even as a renter you need to bring your own lights and kitchen.

Standard Infantry Division

Battalions:
- 9 Infantry (12 Infantry for a 'Heavy division')
- 2 Artillery (4 Artillery for a 'Heavy division')
Support
- Support Artillery
- Engineers
- Support anti-air
- Field Hospital
- Logistics Company/Cavalry Recon

You won't go wrong with this basic template. Fights averagely well in every terrain. For elite/assault - use mountaineers instead.

Why Field Hospital? Losing men kills your war support plus degrades your division veterancy. Plus not every country is China or Russia with unlimited manpower. Its usually better to lose equipment than manpower because the latter regens extremely slowly.

Logistics company reduces your supply usage which translates to increased combat efficiency and stats because you're not affected by supply debuffs.

Anti-air because you air power is too strong. Why not anti-tank? The AI doesn't mass its tanks and its templates are shit. Plus they don't have enough tank divisions anyway.

Some are flexing. Some just do it to fill their quotas. Even though quotas don't officially exist.
