Okay.

Yes

“dog farmers”, holy shit :(

What’s your proposed solution?

I heard shot wounds to the stomach are a painful death.

Why is it necessary to enact such a law in a foreign country? Germany isn’t even on the same continent.

Dachte Sippenhaft wär abgeschafft.

Congratulations, Poland. Finally getting away from the “problematic democracy” label.

None of your business.

Xi has focussed his efforts mostly in Beijing. The Shanghai clique is no more, and standards are declining accordingly.

Please don’t assume everyone commenting here only has a very blurry view from afar.

Xi already failed to build a legacy with his zero COVID policy, and things are rapidly getting worse economically. Fighting a war is traditionally a good way to distract the people, especially if it’s Taiwan. I doubt it being unpopular or people dying phases him much. He’s a dictator very much like Mao, who couldn’t care less about millions of dead Chinese people. For them, it’s all about power, not about his people. The CCP isn’t interested in bettering their living conditions at all.

Sure, but I’d rather Google spy on me to market my data for targeted ads than a country that runs literal concentration camps and is just across the Taiwan strait, basically a stone’s throw from where I live.

WTF. Poor girl.

It’s a Chinese state company, and China has a vested interest in controlling,or at least influencing Afghanistan, so Russia can’t.

If Trump makes it again, the chance of worldwide chaos is scary high. Russia escalating the European conflict, China reaching for Taiwan, and we’re not even halfway through the list.

Are there no actual news, do we have a need for panic articles yet?

Many great reasons to not allow them to build it, zero to do it.

This guy really doesn’t know when and how to shut up.

Many European language versions of anime and games are being localized not by translating the original Japanese, but the English.

Lots of translators also seem to use Google or DeepL, which makes the issue even worse.

The English language version often don’t even translate, they write their own version, calling it “creative liberty”. This leads to a completely different version than what was intended, with others, such as the German or Spanish version, being even further from the original.

That’s why claims of people of having “learnt Japanese from anime” are dubious in the best of cases.

Source: Am Japanese, working in game translation in Tokyo. I’m also trilingual, which makes it even worse to watch this. Ignorance is bliss.

Trading with currency is the basis for capitalism. Capitalism is lending/investing. When you don’t have any actual wares at hand, but currency, virtual value, you trade for higher future virtual value.
