Here is a Japanese-subtitled video of Steam creator Gabe Newell explaining how providing an easy-to-buy and timely Russian localizations of games cut down on piracy.
It is representative of a common non-Japanese view on the problem of piracy.

The black rifle coffee alpha male takes a sip from his thermos and looks out from the bunker to the battlefield, it’s hell out there. “Perfect” He thinks

He adjusts the sights on his custom-built 16-inch 6mm ARC AR-15 with a Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel, JP Enterprises silent captured spring system, and a Geissele Super Dynamic Enhanced two-stage trigger. He picked it because the trigger felt smooth against his $350 carbon fiber combat gloves, and the alloy magazines were 20 grams lighter against his $2200 Kevlar vest.

He mindlessly feels at his tactical pouch, he has a 10 year supply of testosterone cypionate in it, just in case the pharmacies get hit. He smirks, “Daddy needs his combat fuel.” He’s been on TRT for 7 years, his testes have cobwebs on them.

He steps out of the bunker, he’s spent years training for this moment, doing weighted carries, getting “don’t tread on me” tattoos, bow hunting, having a beard.

“It’s fuckin showtime.” He announces.

Just then he feels something lightly tap his leg. He glances down. It’s a 17 dollar drone off temu. It has a decal on it.

“Is that… hentai?”

His legs are blown smooth off.

12 miles away in a disgusting room illuminated only by the degenerate glow of purple LED strip lighting, a 17 year old leans back in his cum stained gamer chair. He’s grown so frail and sickly his friends and family keep mistaking him for Asmongold.

He grabs another 30mg vyvanse and washes it down with a cold chicken nugget.

“GG faggot”

He’s killed 500 men.

This is such a common talking point on the TikTok Left as it’s so obviously stupid, do they think Karl Marx wasn’t aware that some of the Founders owned slaves? Was that information just kept secret until 2010?

🚨 Malgré le saccage de sa boutique, Pierre, le gérant du Micromania, assure qu’il continuera à soutenir les étudiants et rappelle que les casseurs ne doivent pas faire oublier le message porté par la jeunesse…

« J’ai passé 6 à 7 heures à défendre mon magasin. À aucun moment, je n’ai entendu de revendications politiques. Il y a eu beaucoup d’insultes, des rires… Là, on était dans le pur plaisir. Ce n’étaient pas des manifestants venus défendre une cause. » 👏🏼

I'm sorry everyone found out that you allied with the Nazis during WW2.

The talented and knowledgeable David Rickman reconstructed these warriors first attested in 1689, until the early 19thc, in a series of drawings, showing how even the legs were protected under horse armor. Not included are their thick buff coat with neckguard and helmets.

This kind of aggression is a fairly textbook dementia symptom and I’m not sure why we’re not talking about it more.

i don't love Amy Acton, but her victory is now one of the things I'm most looking forward to on election night

beyond even my own ideological biases towards Democrats winning, seeing someone as personally disgusting as Vivek Ramaswamy lose his chance for power will be euphoric

[dandelion georgism 🔰🏗 @DandyGeorgism]

A lot of dystopiaslop (Hunger Games, Black Mirror, whatever we’re seeing here) assumes the market for the Watch The Poor Suffer show is the rich rather than the slightly-less-poor, but the rich prefer to entertain each other.

Interestingly, The Long Walk got this right.

何を言ってらっしゃる。小島監督なんか海外での方が「神扱い」ですよ。海外が嫌うのは「パブリッシャー」とかの、クリエイターと消費者の間の仲介者として存在する企業です。逆に日本人がそこら辺の区別が付いてないようにみれますが。

[Cassie Pritchard @hecubian_devil]

Hard to overstate how much the Amy Acton Mom ad is what the modern GOP is about. All these anxieties about how people (especially women and children) might use their agency to break bonds of filial duty and free themselves, rather than be subject to control and abuse.

We sort of satirize them as the “you can’t groom my kids, that’s MY job!” Party, but this ad is very nearly that explicit argument. They don’t want schools to empower young people to find the autonomy to come out as gay or trans, they don’t want colleges to teach young adults about the breadth of the world and the human dignity of people from diverse backgrounds, they don’t want women to have financial independence and jobs and no-fault divorce.

At the heart of the GOP is this very straightforward premise: “there are some people whom it is my right to abuse. They are my property, and they owe me total obedience; freeing themselves from my abuse is a betrayal of natural hierarchy and divine law. You are trying to take my victims away from me, and I’ll do anything to stop you.”

「急にフランス人から日本人が嫌われ始めた」
「ネトウヨの排外投稿」

そんな単語がちらちらトレンドになっていたので、フランス語のXをのぞくと、経緯はかなり具体的でした。

発端は、フランスの抗議活動で日本のアニメのキャラクターが掲げられたことに対するポスト。

ある日本人から「日本のアニメを使わないでほしい」という声が上がりました。

これに対し、フランス語の返信「なら、ヨーロッパやフランスに着想を得たアニメを全部引っ込めて」。この投稿は300万回以上表示されています。その後のやり取りでは、この投稿主も日本人をひどく罵っています。

「治安が悪いのは移民のせいだ」という日本語の返信がたくさん飛び交い、これに呆れるフランス人もいます。

よその国の出来事に何を書くか。それはもう、日本語の中だけの話ではありません。

Japan fumbled one (1) student protest movement 50 years ago and have been subservient to the LDP ever since. All the horror stories about Japanese police are from that era. High conviction rates, forced confessions, detention tortures...
