  • Had an uncle who loved to drink. When he retired he was basically hammered before dinner was served almost every day. Got diabetes and a damaged liver. Died a slow and horrible death. Got necrosis in both his legs, had them both amputated. It didn’t stop his body from wasting away.

    Have another uncle who loved to drink a glass of wine regularly and eat lots of red meat. Has Parkinson’s now and is severely demented. I’m sure genetics played a factor but his lifestyle didn’t help. And the fungicides used in vineyards has been linked to Parkinson’s, in France the regions with many vineyards have higher rates of Parkinson’s compared to the rest of the country.










  • In Japan companies even do their best to not fire people and just bully them into quitting. So they don’t have to pay severance and also maintain their image. They will basically isolate employees from their colleagues and give them jobs that they weren’t even hired to do, like cleaning even though they have a cleaning crew. Like at Konami employees they wanted to let go of were forced to clean the Konami gyms.

    Being isolated from your colleagues doesn’t sound that bad to us, but in Japan many people don’t have many friends outside of their coworkers. Not to mention everyone knows what is about to happen if they isolate you. It’s a way to shame you.

    Basically they do shit that is straight up illegal in most western countries.
