Japan is a country where each generation is poorer than the generation before. In China, you can give your kids a better life than the one you had.
They may not have fulfilled all their main goals to a 100%. However, they seem to be still occupying large amounts of territory that belonged to the Ukrainian government, including most of the Dombas and the water sources of Crimea.
I am picking up a 16kg and a 12kg masses several times a day, and I am sure that this keeps me in shape. Basically, because I didn't have time to go to the gym in the last five years.
In every IVF session, if you are young and healthy, they may be able to extract around ten eggs. Of those ten eggs, 50% will valid and will get fecundated. You are down to 5. Then, in our case, 50% of the embryos will be carriers and have to be discarded. You are down to two or three that can be implanted. And, from those, you are lucky if one gets implanted in the womb correctly and produces a baby.
What I mean it's that you can choose to a level, but you are quite limited by numbers, even if the technology improves or you are luckier, and you can get more embryos to choose from each IVF cycle.

A hyper motivated developers who starts lots of projects and don't finish them, or who writes buggy code, or who creates social problems in the team, will raise more red flags than a "slow but consistent developer".
And a lot of "secret" scripts that automated a big part of our job.
I met a lot of brilliant young women in my company whose goal in life is to marry, stop working and raise kids. Women with a degree in law or economics that will stay less than 5 years in the workforce.
The problem of sexism in Japan is really complicated.
Really? After living for some years in Japan, I feel almost traumatized when I go to Europe in winter and I have to sit in a cold toilet.
