#倫理観が無すぎる
#I can’t believe the lack of all sense of ethics
The cliche of the militant vegan is alive and well in Japan. Translation: The vegan who forces their views on others.

“So low. Eating animals is the worst. Have you seen a photo of an abattoir?”
“Why do you try and force your views on me?” https://t.co/pbq7CmDiTf
Ha, more evidence covid comes from China. The Chinese Character for "you" is made up of コ co - ロ ro-ナ na. Finally, the smoking gun 😉 https://t.co/pBY53M3EkW

Beautiful Japanese Quote
Translating some Japanese quotes - this one felt good:

The thing that is beautiful,
is your soul that sees beauty,
in beautiful things.

#か突然ですが占ってもいいですか Excuse me, can I tell your fortune?
Lots of kerfuffle about Korean Pop group Twice appearing on TV show #突然ですが占ってもいいですか "May I tell your fortune". To me, all the predictions were generic enough to be meaningless. "何か脱皮する。変化する。何かを変える” Some kind of new beginning, change, transition... https://t.co/yQwsFqiucU

#てりやき食べたくてすみません
“Sorry, I just want to eat Teriyaki”
Had such high expectations for hashtag #てりやき食べたくてすみません "#Sorry, I just want to eat Teriyaki". Turns out it's just McDonalds sales pitch. Was hoping for thread of inventive ways to turn down a date, "I would love to join you but, sorry, I just want to eat Teriyaki". https://t.co/OnK9c0BEve

＃新幹線運転士 Shinkansen driver
Driver leaves seat while in control of moving Shinkansen. JR Central apologizes.

It appears a driver has left their seat for approximately 3 minutes to go to the bathroom after experiencing stomach pain, and after the cabin had been attended by the train conductor. https://t.co/tWMoMhKkLQ
"So Shinkansen operate with a system that don’t consider sudden physiological phenomena or a driver becoming unwell? Ok, so now I understand why the Bullet Train, supposed to be “Japan’s pride of the world”, cannot be sold abroad." 新幹線運転士 #英訳 https://t.co/iblIHHKuRW

"I’m taken aback by how shady this business is...to talk of a labour environment where people can’t go to the toilet...it makes me afraid to even go near a Shinkansen" #新幹線運転士 #英訳 https://t.co/qibVJg38ID
