How can we recognize this 'hidden dehydration'?
Dr. Taniguchi says that an effective method is to pinch the back of your hand and measure the time it takes for the skin to return to its original position.
If it takes more than three seconds, they recommend that you suspect 'hidden dehydration.'
This is a matter that was decided all the way to the Supreme Court during the Showa era, and any company that goes against this should be crushed and turned into a vacant lot, but I think it's extremely problematic that there are quotes that seem to defend this company from time to time. The Labor Standards Act has a provision that does not allow 'overwriting,' and even with the agreement of the parties involved, working conditions... https://t.co/ozGi6HNQzM

I finally got the original source of the term 'shotacon.' The term originated from the editor-in-chief's response to a reader's question about what to call a woman who likes boys, and he said 'shotacon.' However, if you read it carefully, you'll see that he was actually using the term in a negative way, saying 'shotacon sounds bad.'
