The one I've heard the most: "Friends are family."

After all this time, I still have to say the line from the movie with the accent.

Japan seems to be past the peak and dropping down now. Not as fast as the rise, but, at least it's still dropping fast. There's still lots of debate going on whether to allow people into the country. Hard not to start jumping at shadows of racism in the discussion though. There's always that suspicion in the back of my mind that people want to keep the country closed to keep them dirty foreigners out rather than doing what's in the best interest of the country.

It's hard not to be sensitive about it. Japan doesn't exactly have the greatest track record on race relations.

I'm guessing 1/5 tests being positive implies there's a lot more out there they're not finding?

‘Very high’ Dunedin rate shocks

16% in the province over 20% in city. Students had a Covid party apparently.

Government's using radiation devices on the protesters to make them feel sick.

NZ is nuclear free.

Also camping 2+weeks in the mud with no sanitation go figure.

USA have any spare shamans for export ? Think the healing crystals are running low.

There's one in the DC jail we'd love to get rid of.

But- in a twist worthy of M. Night Shaymalan- he’s a sham shaman.

On the contrary, I have an African American friend who lived in Japan for awhile. Said she would much rather be back there than Midwest America.

Racism in Japan is a strange beast. Racists would probably glance disapprovingly at your friend, while other folks would be super friendly (even fascinated) by your friend (which is another form of racism, but quite a bit more pleasant). Almost no one is ever likely to be overtly racist, which is the big difference from the Midwest.
