Good

It was hard at first. Now I’m about 600 kanji in, and while they are still hard they are starting to make sense. New ones are quite a lot easier than before because of pattern recognition, and I’m even able to sometimes guess reading/meaning. It has also massively improved my learning, I had always heard that it wasn’t necessary nowadays, and I’ve been studying on off for a long time now, but the difference on this last cycle is massive

They always forget the pink triangles when talking about the Holocaust

How is this a joke? Am I the only one that doesn’t get Trump’s “jokes”? To me it just looks like a demented idiot with a foot in his mouth

DRG as a roguelite? You son of a bitch, I’m in

Damn, that’s some long ass effects, you still seem to be having a stroke

It does make sense. Just like it would make a lot of sense for parental leave to be the same length for both parents, and mandatory to be taken. Sure, it’s the mother who has given birth and needs the time to medically recover, but that’s not the only use of the parental leave. Both parents need to bond with the baby and take care of it. And if you make it the same length and mandatory you remove any argument against hiring women “because they might get pregnant”.

Same principle, better outcome for everyone.

Catalan here, always funny to see monolinguals be shocked when China does it but turn around and see nothing wrong with Spain imposing Spanish to all its regions in the same way

The bases and American soldiers are pretty much hated in Spain. We didn’t even want to be in NATO in the first place, and US international policy is deeply unpopular here.

I really hope this whole situation causes us to finally kick them out. The US is not an ally, wasn’t one ever either (except during the dictatorship of Franco, not a popular time), and we should stop dancing to its warmongering music

That’s not really true, in Japan claw machines use the same variable strength bullshit that happens in the US. They are explicitly classified as gambling under Japanese law.

But when Spain or France does the same to its own minorities nobody cares

The refusal is not because of the “bombing a school” specifically, it’s about the “starting a war to cover pedophiles” thing

Glad it’s getting better for him, but we should not forget that their conditions in a Japanese zoo are still fucking terrible.

What’s with people not knowing they are different? Not the first time I’m seeing this

Thanks, I’ll try with sakurajima.moe and see how it goes.

Thanks, I guess I have to find some Japanese accounts to follow and see how mbin takes care of it. Will also try to open an account while over there to see if it still works when back home

That’s why you won’t get to their situation. You self-select out of it

Oh, but that “diffusal” is literally what has always been sold, that the kids are “digital natives” that just know how to use tech.

Now us millennials need to provide tech support to both Boomers and Gen-Z

There are other ways to ban social media for minors that don’t go through full fledged online IDs for everything. But you seem to want to ignore that, it’s a false dichotomy.

Banning social media for minors (or better yet, opaque algorithmic feeds for everyone) = Good.

Trying to achieve that by giving overreaching powers to a government, that can be used as a tool of oppression when democracy wavers = very bad.

As for low trust societies, mate, I’ve been gassed, beaten up and shot at with rubber bullets by riot police in Spain, for the egregious crime of peacefully protesting. It’s a country where the memory of the dictatorship, and it’s power structures, are still very much alive. Francoism never fully left

I don’t want them to use it. I agree with all your points.

I strongly disagree that mandatory ID on the net is the solution to this.

It also fascinates me that you’d think putting such a tool, with all the trouble it could cause if our countries stop being democracies, in the hands of government as a purported solution to children being on social media. That’s throwing out the baby with the bathwater
