      I was a Mensa "gifted youth" and all I got was a shit magazine and a mensa.org email address.

    I assume that the 222 replies to the last tweet are all some variation of "ratio".

    The video is a dude interviewing a Japanese woman about whether or not she would welcome more diversity, to which she says "yes". All the replies are predictably "enjoy your foreign pedophile r*pists" which I think is strange because she never said anything about allowing more US soldiers into the country.

      There is a point now which Japan is becoming more and more desperate to bring immigrants to save their economy compared to the US trying to exterminate their immigrants to "save" their economy.

        The big Japanese corporations are desperate to bring in more people as the work force dries up and there's literally not enough construction workers or truck drivers or food service workers to keep things going. The politicians and their conservative voters are desperate to keep people out because of their xenophobia.

        What you end up with are people brought over from places like Vietnam on "apprenticeships" put into overcrowded dorms, paid peanuts (even by Japanese standards) and then sent home as soon as their limited term in Japan ends with no pathway to residency.

        Then, predictably, those exploited migrants need to work on the side or steal just to survive and all the conservatives point and squeel about how foreigners can't fit into Japanese society.

      One of the founders literally believed in phrenology and hated that there were non-rich people in Mensa.

    Imagine the stewing and seething.

    How could you let someone else control so much of your life?

    What a whiny little bitch.

    Mensa was oringinally an arg to meet fellow autistics. It still is except now everyone is rascist. So it basically went the same way as reddit.
