Seriously asking, not being snarky, but that looks good? It’s just a clone of new.reddit and every other SNS layout of the past 20 years.

yes it does.

what trouble are you having with FF’s scroll? it’s worked perfectly fine on every device I’ve ever seen, you sure it’s not a problem with your setup?

ask Hong Kong

ask the Uighurs

Why? That’s literally been the entire point of arming Taiwan for the past 50 years. It’s even stated in the article, the US gives them enough so that China doesn’t get stupid and start something, but not enough so that Taiwan gets stupid and start something.

Meh, whatever. Even if the fediverse were to never get any bigger, it’s still a win. This place is big enough to be stable and generate it’s own content and culture. All that matters is if you’re enjoying it here and actively trying to make it a better place.

It’s official!!! Business Insider is shit

You’re right! We need to do something about all those terrorists lining the streets of Xinjiang. We all must band together to rid the world of this vile, evil scourge called the CCP!

Rather than throw you a list of all instances, how about I just give you a suggestion

In my experience it seems to fit all points on your list

Oh no! It’s the consequences of my own actions! If only someone had told me I had to listen to what every single one of my employees had been telling me literally every chance they got.

Mate, please, he taught English here for 1 year. I’ve been in engineering, marketing, and finance roles for over 20. So I’ve got a pretty good feel for what it’s like here and don’t need any additional “context”. Do I think we should get more time off? Yes. But go take a look at what Americans get and how much OT they work and then tell me Japanese work culture is so bad. I’ll give you a hint, they get fuck all and average more OT hours than us (9 hours weekly compared to 6 in Japan). And have you ever heard of 996? That’s literal slavery in China. Could Japan do better? Sure, but it’s not the 80s anymore for christ sake, it’s different here now.

What after work nomikai? The few companies that were still doing that stopped after covid.

I’ll throw some money in!

I’m from Tokyo and have been working 20+ years, the idea that all Japanese work themselves to death is meme nowadays. Yes, it was like that before, and there are still a few companies like that now, but it’s not representative of the whole anymore. We do get vacations. There are 16 public holidays a year, 10 vacation days required by law with an extra day for each year of service at the company, and the government will fine companies that don’t force their employees to use at least half of them every year.

“Overtime” is also a bit of a joke. The average salaryman does probably 2 hours real work every day. The rest is just trying to look busy while dicking around on facebook. And attitudes about that are slowly changing too. I rarely see anyone younger than 35 hang around the office late to look busy anymore, they know there’s no point because it’s not going to get you a raise or a promotion anyways.

I’m from Tokyo, so I’m saying this as someone with a direct stake in the matter, but is this really a problem? The Earth is on fire right now, the oceans are literally boiling, it is face-melting hot here. The consequences of the period of unsustainable growth are finally coming to pass. There was a report yesterday saying we’d passed the yearly mark for what the planet can provide, and we’d need 1.7 Earths now to meet everyone’s needs. So maybe naturally reducing the population isn’t such a bad thing.

How do you prove someone in the central government didn’t take a bribe and tamper with the records? What if you’re from a country where the central government is less than stable? How would you prove ownership if something were to happen to that database? How do you prove that someone is who they say they are? How do citizens and businesses access that database? Is there a standardized format for it? Does it use some proprietary software built by the lowest bidder?

Not saying that blockchain has all the answers or that it is the right tool in all cases, but these are some of the problems it is trying to solve.

My opinion of the accused has absolutely nothing to do with my objection to the death penalty. Actually, the fact that you brought it up is rather telling, in that what you’re advocating for simply boils down to revenge, which has no place whatsoever in the criminal justice system.

Every time he fucks up he just add another X to the name

Oh god, please give NATO an excuse to show the world why Americans don’t have health care.

I’m 41 and I zoned out halfway through this comment

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t AI generated content not copyrightable? Therefore nothing is stopping someone from taking all their content, rebranding it as “how stuff really works” or something, and then start stealing their business & ad revenue.
