@AstralWanderer9 @curtis_yarvin He got involved in politics as a last resort since he was already being persecuted by the previous admin and knew it would only get worse. Also he needs the US to be functional and solvent to keep doing what he wants to do.

@CacheThatCheque Back when Japanese tech was still ahead of the rest of the world. Freedom afforded by mobile phones but not all-encompassing. Good times.

@AbcAbc347433 @evelynjunn There are zero expats leaving because of racism. They either leave because their assignment is up or they hit tax milestones they want to avoid. The people that can’t take it anymore are the Reddit class coming over with no skills to teach English.

@CacheThatCheque Michael Crichton antagonists: Dinosaurs, nanobots, aliens, killer gorillas, neanderthal cannibals, Japanese salarymen…

@JessLozanoS This is the first time I've ever seen someone online spell "piqued" correctly. Thank you.

@CosmicSophon @Austen So then we wouldn’t have Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, Starlink, etc? Because Elon would have been forced to spend his wealth on homeless charities that are very effective at increasing the population of homeless?

@politicalmath @IMAO_ And all of humanity would be worse off, especially the US.

@AndyBTravels @JournoMaddie @lfg_uk Japanese have no litter bins anywhere but also very little littering. 🤔

@svered5 @CacheThatCheque Oh man, didn’t even notice this! Even the picture itself proves the point I made in another comment. “Extremely car centric” would be somewhere like the US or Australia where you will never see this many bikes. There’s even a mamachari here.

@dragonsandholo @CacheThatCheque もちろんそれはその通りです。ただ、それでもアメリカやオーストラリアのような「完全に車依存」の国とは全然違うと思います。

日本では地方でも、私立学校まで電車で通う生徒が普通にいますよね。たとえばアメリカだと、そういう生活スタイル自体が全く想像できないです。

@reallxp @miike_hrk I’m sure the point is to speak Japanese (and behave appropriately); they don’t care where you live.

[Glanhir @Glanhir]

@reallxp @wrongwordlive @miike_hrk They’re not going to care if you have a residence card, only if they can communicate with you.

@TravisBikcle @CacheThatCheque I researched per household, not total population.

[Glanhir @Glanhir]

@eniramig @CacheThatCheque Good way to look at it.

[Glanhir @Glanhir]

@japanauthor @mrjeffu Most of the people I see on their phones in Japanese trains today are either reading manga or the news, so it’s actually not that different. And you can also do all sorts of productive things if you want to. It’s up to the people.

@xwanyex You're over-indexing heavily on Western cities. They're as efficient as they should be in the East.

@IMAO_ @EveKeneinan Not really because among most pro-choice, being gay is better than straight as it increases your social standing.

Also, much easier to trans them, which rockets you to the top of the hierarchy.

@TallRomanStatue Streets that still look like this aren’t even rare. Especially outside of Tokyo.

@jedgar Why are they so sensitive to the pitch style to begin with? They have zero vision of their own and just score on some pre-determined rubric like a test proctor?
