Then you're naive.

Do you remember the Covid-19 Plandemic? Do you remember how all the rich elites had a bunch of covid babies because there was nothing for them to do all day except sit around and fuck?

Exactly the same dynamic, except there are no women in prison, and some of the inmates are in there for life and have nothing to lose.

The average nigger in prison doesn't give a shit that he killed some Fortune 500 CEO. They see fresh meat and they see an easy target.

@_squall cant quote — but I mostly agree with your read on Japan except for the bit on onsen. Still very popular and having a bit of a moment. Families love going to ryokan resorts and onsen are a huge part of that experience. Only very rural onsen are hurting. But in places like Hakone? Thriving.

My bad, I suck at formatting. Interesting to hear about the onsen boom, I've meant to see Hakone for quite a while now but have never had an opportunity. I mostly go to sentou so I was basing my perspective on that.

I do sympathyse with libertarians but I wonder what would be their solution for healthcare.

For starters, direct payment to a doctor, avoiding the insurance system, for a concierge medicine relationship. Cheaper than insurance (which is responsible for a lot of the increasing costs in the American system), and you have better care.

You're interpreting his words very liberally in a way that would actually make sense. I wouldn't have as much an issue with his tweet if it actually made sense. The problem is that he uses very specific examples that are just wrong.

Even in restaurants with waitstaff, the eating experience in major cities is still very isolated. Most times you'll walk into an average restaurant and half the patrons are salarymen, chigyu and normal young guys glued to their phone watching shitty youtube videos, or - God forbid - Japanese television. The most socialization you'll see is at izakaya, and that doesn't count much because it's 70% men drinking themselves to early liver disease because they have no work-life balance.

You're describing a casual lunch restaurant. People go to those places to eat lunch as fast as possible and leave. Its rude to use your phone there because you're taking a spot for the next guy in line to eat. If you want to socialize, go to a bar.
Luigi autisticly focuses on conveyor belt sushi and electronic ordering booths.

The point he's making here doesn't just apply to esports cafes, but to all the distractions for young men. Whether it's legalized prostitution (besides vaginal penetration(lol, like they actually care)), game centers, manga cafes, etc.
Click to expand...
This isn't what hes saying at all. He 's trying to tie fighting games to "false fitness signals".
Game centers are the opposite of esports. Its filled with casual games for you play with friends or for you to go on dates to.

True, but when you put away the backpack and put on the wageslave suit the mandatory overtime and forced nomikais make hitting the links or batting cages a waste of the precious little free time you DO have.

He specifically says "athletics in school".
_squall said:
Missing the point. Maid cafes are a symptom of a sick society. Lonely sexless men pay for a teenage girl to infantilize herself, act like a mahou shoujo and pretend like she wants to talk to him? Same thing with host/hostess clubs. The gender divide, wider than the Grand fucking Canyon, has adults spend their meager disposable income to have attractive young people just talk to them and drink with them. They don't even fuck. Also, most married Japanese couples searching for a new home ask for a house with TWO master bedrooms. Again, symptom of a problem.

These are all good points. Too bad he didn't say any of that, but instead fixates on maid cafes.

Onsen and sentou are culture, and they're basically dead. It's all fuckin' boomers. Japan has been thoroughly westernized and castrated. Dead country, many such cases! Unless Japan gets its shit together, it will be pumping out pedobait and shounenslop, mildly inspired automobiles and consumer electronics to the outside world while they import half of India to fill their dying workforce, and sell out their own country to make money off of affluent tourists.
Click to expand...
They're not dead lmao. He probably just thinks they are because he didn't see any onsens in the tourist areas he visited.

You're doing all the heavy lifting trying to make sense of this guy's ramblings. I even agree with some of what you're saying, but this guy clearly isn't saying the same thing. I understand that he did something cool, but that doesn't make him any less of a schizo. He could have been a guy avenging a dead love one who was denied care, or a sympathetic hitman who disappeared leaving healthcare ceos scared of their own shadows. Instead he got caught in a mcdonalds and was a fuckup rich kid who lives in Hawaii.

The European system shatters under illegal immigration. The American system says 'your money or your life' and when you pay them your whole working life they still try to find ways to fuck you over.

If at first you don't succeed, try try again.

The system has taken a hit by the shittons of migration this is true, but out of my own experience when I had an urgent issue with a fucked up headache that they thought could be bad news I was able to take 2 scans; CT (that same week to rule out anything severe) and MRI and 1 test with a neurologist for less than 100 euro in total later that same month

It turned out to be a nerve that got stuck in the wrong way in the back of my neck so all ended well but I can tell you it's scary af when every mildly physical activity you do hurts your neck really bad.

This is the cost on average of these scans in the USA when you're not covered or if deemed medically unnecessary:

CT scan: 500-1000 dollar
MRI scan: 1600-3400 dollar
Neurologist consultation: 125-500 dollar

In the best case you are 2300 dollar poorer and you have a diagnosis.

Worst case; you can't afford it altogether.

What I mean to say is; when it was necessary, the system pulled through for me and I got the diagnosis quickly with 2 additional tests to rule out any dangers not seen on the CT scan.

It doesn't save you jack shit. It saves the insurance company a little extra money while shafting the person responsible for monitoring your vitals and dosing you with the correct amount of very potent drugs so you don't wake up or crash on the opersting table.

Also, the anesthesiologist does not have to take your insurance plan or network. That's where most of the surprise charges on your bill come from. Specialists not in your network.

They generally don't work for the hospital, they're independant contractors or work for a group not under hospital's physician groups. Same could go for your surgeon or any other specialist that you need to see while hospitalized.

btw I would read about Kaiser Permanent and how they do things (like they have doctors on payroll instead of whatever the fuck UHG was using): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_Permanente

They are known for a much higher standard of care and only reject 6% of claims compared to UHG's 36%.

So anyone saying a better system can't exist in the US should look at them and see what they're doing differently (I think some aspects of their operation may be non-profit but I'm not sure how they exactly work).
