How often does that happen that you recognize this? I can’t remember the last time I hit my head hard enough that it hurt, let alone hard enough to black out for a second.

Is this a common occurance for most people?

Been using it for close to 10 years. Never had a single serious issue with it. Apps break now and then. A simple reboot of the server or the app fixes it every single time.

A lot of public torrents download and seed at insane speeds. Like “must be in the same building or even the same disk” speeds.

I mean… Tell me you are pedantic without telling me you are pedantic…

I mean, it’s almost Monday again, have to find a reason to get a long weekend no?

Haven’t seen a queue in ages tbh. Weak argument, not to mention that it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever

Pay 2 win? Where? Genuine question. Played it for 40h after launch, never once felt like paying money?

It’s interesting that cheerleaders still dress like that in Japan imo. Habits are hard to change, especially in the land of the rising sun :)

National fashion became very conservative in the past 10-15 years. Like almost not even a bare shoulder conservative. Skirts also became much longer in recent times. The ultra mini skirts that Japan was famous for are also on their way out. The whole legging craze that hit the rest of the world never even made it to Japan.

Just let the cheerleaders wear more clothes?

Not refusing, but lately I basically don’t pirate games anymore. Steam made it so easy to buy games… + pirating games is always a pita with the required hacks etc. (or at least it was way back when I did it).

Software I don’t pirate, I just use foss stuff wherever I can.

I also don’t pirate books in general. Just get them on Kindle and support the author (and unfortunately also Jeff bezos)

I pay for Netflix (mainly for kids) and go to the theater for big movies, but aside from that I pirate all screen content.

I also pirate comics, but that’s 90% because it’s almost impossible to get them legally where I live. I would pay for DC unlimited if it was available in my neck of the woods.

Time to go touch some grass mate :)

Luckily they’re in NATO (and the eu), so they wouldn’t be left alone on a technicality as Ukraine.

Did you see the “tents” they have? A wooden cube frame made with 2x4s and a plastic sheet draped over it. I wouldn’t keep my pigs in such a shitty thing, let alone human beings…

“their country”

Interesting article image :) Lemmy glitch? Or bbc glitch?

Guess we lost some nuance over the internet.

My whole point is that Japan is so often portrayed as this ideal country and this ultra respectful society. Mainly by people that know Japan through an anime obsession and maaaaybe one visit to the country. In reality Japan is a very flawed country with many very serious issues. But the internet (and especially reddit/lemmy) has a hard-on for the country for some reason.

Yes, it always comes up Japan is so clean, kids clean their schools etc. How is that not utopian?

Let me guess, you’re butt hurt because I said something negative about your dream country?

This shit always comes up. Japanese schools also have janitors and ppl that clean the schools. The kids also have to clean regularly, but it’s not as if the entire school is only cleaned by kids. They just have to wipe floors after lunch and once a semester do a big cleanup. Toilet cleaning is phasing out entirely. That used to be a thing, but less and less so nowadays. They are ofcourse teaching respect etc, but that doesn’t mean that kids don’t just throw their shit on the ground or clean up stuff better. They do it because they have to and they don’t give a fuck about the why. Most of them absolutely hate it.

Let’s not mention all the other fucked up things in the japanese school system that makes it far from an example to strive for tbh. They’re only now starting to tackle social issues that were tackled in the 80/90s in the west, not to mention the parrot 100% rather than understand even of a sliver of why or think critically or for yourself way of teaching that is only now veeeeeeeery slowly starting to phase out.

But Japan is this perfect utopia according to the internet… So I guess they’ll keep regurgitating this cleaning tidbit until eternity.

I really hope you’re right. I’ll believe you on Jan 6 2025(?)when you swear in your next president

Hope y’all end up with someone a bit younger than Biden though. While I have no issue with his presidency, I do have an issue with his age. Ppl above 75 (or even 65, or whatever the local retirement age is) should not be in politics anywhere imo.

I hope you’re right. First time he ran it was also “unlikely” he would win.

I hope y’all yanks are smart enough to go vote against Don Cheetos. Don’t fuck over the rest of us because of your own lazyness

What a bunch of cunts

I mean, I can guarantee that every single mammal on earth alive today will be dead in 250 years. Nice prediction.

If you mean humanity: humans will 100% still be around in 250 years. Even with an advanced society. As advanced and interconnected as now? Who knows. But we’ll still be far ahead of eg the middle ages or even early industrial revolution.
