@adam049119 @RefereeC21621 He refuted the incorrect decisions from the USA v AUS match

@GearoidReidy If most of the Japanese players are playing professional football in Europe, the obvious answer is a foreign coach with experience at that level and in those regions. The Japanese players were let down by the tactical rigidity of the management team.

@rock4par @jphtandom @HodlMagoo Again, I think the crux of our misunderstanding is the conflating of coincidental lawful possession with being "armed" in the criminal sense. Courts generally treat "armed" as conduct-based, not the mere presence of a lawfully carried firearm.

[Ben Torode @BenTorode]

@jphtandom @rock4par @HodlMagoo Officer’s perception or announcing “gun” does not supply the actus reus required to establish a nexus. Nexus is grounded in the suspect’s conduct, not officer belief. Courts have consistently held that criminal enhancement cannot flow from the exercise of a constitutional right.

[Ben Torode @BenTorode]

@rock4par @jphtandom @HodlMagoo A nexus is required between the possession of the weapon and the resistance, such as reaching for it, otherwise it is treated as a passive possession. There is no felony enhancement just because a weapon exists on the person.

[Ben Torode @BenTorode]

@jphtandom @HodlMagoo By that logic, merely resisting arrest while legally armed effectively authorizes lethal force, even absent any attempt to draw or use the weapon

@ThatYuta I think society needs fewer social constructs like masculinity, feminnity and gender neutrality, and more values of substance, like empathy.

@GearoidReidy It was in July 2022 that Japan stated its aim to get the number back to pre-COVID levels (316,000) within five years, and yes it was laughed at

@Struan_Tokyo Anesthetic throat spray/lozenges, one of humanity's greatest inventions. That and toothpaste seem to be the must haves.

@jake_j_jung I hate how they keep licensing those composite images showing Tokyo Tower at the base of Fuji. NYT does it too

@den198804 @ENRO_oven よくある課題ですね。何を捨てれば置けるかなど。ただ、必ずしも決まった場所に置きっぱなしにする必要はありませんよ。ピザを焼くときだけ収納から出し、使わないときはしまっておくのにちょうどいいサイズだと思います。

@ENRO_ovenの電気ピザ窯が今日届いたので、発送案内メールを見た時から作っていた生地を早速焼いてみました。待ち望んでいたふくらみができ、上部も下部の焦げ具合もばっちりでした。450℃の調理の威力を 身をもって 実感しました。

@32_52ichi カルシウムは、重度のカルシウム欠乏症がある場合にのみ集中力を「高める」効果があります。ほとんどの人のようにカルシウム値が正常であれば、摂取量を増やしても集中力はまったく向上しません。クイズ番組ではなくクズ番組

@MikaSaitama I did the same starting breast up and got the over browning. Lesson learned.

[Ben Torode @BenTorode]

@ThatYuta The homonyms give us the puns, we should be thankful.

[Ben Torode @BenTorode]

@JapanIntercult @GigabearPanda @Grummz 100% on point here. It's like when you have a beef with the company over something, but you personally denigrate the employee in the call center.

@JapanIntercult I've been running for about 5 years in Tokyo and only had one greeting which was an acknowledgement nod from a fellow foreigner running. Had a few greetings while running in Okayama
