Now do again with suicide rates (:
07%
This is why punctuation is important.
Never mind that, what does “07% per 100K” even mean? As far as I can tell that evaluates to 0.0000007 or 7 per 10 million
a simple math says: 0.7/100*100 000 = 0.7 * 1 000 = 700 so, 700 on 100k people
Assuming it’s .07% and not 7% since the latter wouldn’t make sense with their post, that would make it 70 out of 100,000.
Some people are shockingly stupid, even though I’ve spent my entire life finding out how stupid people can be.
I worked in retail for a decade, and have been in IT for past 12 years. Mostly help desk. Mostly medical.
The advanced degrees these people have is astounding, but the lack of common sense is terrifying.
Like, these people are cutting into other people to fix shit? They can’t tie their own shoes, and the concept of a power button on a computer is too much.
This is the same person. Hopefully he has retired or died by now, cause those were his only real choices at that age.
Seriously, his assistant tied his shoes for him. She probably had advanced degrees of her own. And she had to tie an old man’s shoes on the daily.
Maybe there something to have such a laser focus like medicine specialties really does rob people of their common sense.
Tie? Shoe? No, but that artery is about to retract or some shit.
To be fair there is also the suicide rate.
Also what the fuck were they expecting, Japan to be some Christian paradise?
They probably just saw Silence and think it’s a result of the persecution of Christians back in the 1600s.
To those prepared to reply with “but that’s not what it is”, I’m not saying it is.

Portugal has entered the chat
Portugal would like to know Japan’s location. And keep it a secret from other countries for years.
Heartbroken because it should be 0%?
I guess not having many Jesus cult members helps
Apparently the moonies don’t help things.
07%/100000
5/7 with rice
Given the confluence of weeb culture and the alt-right (think incels and “traditionalists” with anime avatars, right-wing gamers pointing to Japan as a high-tech conservative utopia untouched by wokeness and such), it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would try to imagine a Japan that goes to Latin Mass.
Is that still a pervasive thought in today’s culture about Japan? I understood back in the 90’s when there was less exposure but I thought that reality kinda crumbled with the loss of high tech companies that actually give a damn anymore. I don’t know of anyone that talks about “premier” Japan tech unless it’s something from the past.
Japan tends to lurch forward, then be stagnant for large periods of time.
Your unhoused numbers are wrong. Those are the official “sleeping on the streets” numbers, which is not the same thing. First because they’re official, and therefore almost certainly undercounting, and second because they exclude all of the situations where people don’t have houses but are kinda not exactly in a cardboard box.
To be fair though it’s the ones living on the street that people choose to hate on as much as possible
Bless you heart.
I do not trust any stats that come out of Japan in terms of homelessness. If there’s a statistic that’s embarrassing for Japanese society, you know damn well they’re gonna try to cover it up with technicalities.
In Japan, the legal definition for someone who is homeless is: “those who use city parks, riverbanks, roads, train stations and other facilities as their place of stay in order to live their daily lives.”
So that doesn’t include living in your car, living in insecure housing, living in shelters, or living in internet cafés, of which in 2020 there were about 15,000 ‘net café refugees’ in Tokyo alone.
Sooo yeah, Japan can claim to officially have a super low homeless population, because they’ve narrowed the definition so much that you have to literally be sleeping on the street for it to count.
They also flub their murder rates. It’s considered unclean to handle dead bodies, so autopsies aren’t common and anything that could be ruled a suicide, is.
I’ve lived in three different major Japanese cities and see fewer people sleeping rough in a year than I can see in an hour in either Europe or the US.
Sleeping Rough != Homeless though. Granted, almost everyone who sleeps rough is homeless, but not every homeless sleeps rough. Japan only counts people sleeping rough as homeless though.
Also there’s the element of being seen sleeping rough. There are plenty of people sleeping rough out there, but they don’t want to be seen that way so they keep to themselves and stay away from the general public, getting across the idea that there aren’t many of them.
yeah they also fail to acknowledge the suicide rate or the amount of overtime or purchasing power of avg wages.
I’m not making any statements on any countries other than japan. but I’ll add a message to american weebs: STOP FETISHIZING JAPAN
They cover it with Hideo Kojima
Why would they be Christian 🤨? Guessing this is from an American?
Hey, we at least tried to convert them, but nobody congratulates Portugal for that. 😔 😭
Evangelical brain rot
Japan also has a terrifyingly high conviction rate, something those Christians would cream themselves over.
If you measure the us conviction rate the same way the commonly quoted 99% conviction rate in Japan is calculated ours is actually higher.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conviction_rate scroll down to the Japan entry for the source. Sorry don’t know how to link it directly lol
Japan is just gaming the numbers here. Both with the conviction rate and with the homeless ratio.
https://www.examiner.org.hk/2025/01/17/the-invisible-homeless-in-japan/features/
According to this link, if you apply western metrics, Japan would have between 100k and 200k homeless. Which would mean Japan has 81.2-162.4 homeless per 100k inhabitants, while the USA has 221.7.
That would make Japan a bit better than the USA, but it’s not that much of a difference any more.
Is there something wrong with her heart? Maybe she needs to go see a doc… oh, wait nvm. We’ll just pray the pain away for her.
I don’t think she’s really sorry about their heart
