   I think 8ch is something you already had to actively seek out. I've never come across a link to 8ch in the wild. I've only seen it in discussions of fringe extremist communities on the internet. My concern with big companies depla

   Wealth divide is incredibly low here. Japan’s poverty rate is among the lowest in the world. What are you talking about?

   Do you have citations for that being the reason? And what about societies outside of Catholic influence? Seems odd to blame them. And I never said they didn’t exist, so I’m not sure why you seem to have an aggressive tone. I know they’ve al

   Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but could this be part of the reason for the (maybe just perceived) increase in trans people? I don’t have solid stats, but based off of what I see outside and on the internet, the number of openly tra

   There are ways to develop an economy other than destroying all of your resources within a generation. Any country that does it is doomed to poverty, and it’s kind of hard to feel sympathy for anyone endorsing such short term thinking.

   Are those really new models? People’ve been subscribing to newspapers forever, and HBO has been a subscription service.

   I’ve got a relevant experience to back this up. I had a urinary tract infection that I felt progress up to my bladder and eventually into one kidney and then the next. I would’ve liked to visit a doctor immediately, but with American medica

   Obesity and many of those issues don’t really have much to do with food quality. A lot of it is due to nothing more than overeating. Going to China and eating with Chinese people, it’s a very easy thing to do. Chinese food portions can some

   Your ideal engineer seems to be someone who devotes their life to your business at the cost of their personal health and betterment. Someone who’ll burn out when they realize their employer only sees them as a tool to be used and having any

    Or people who change phone numbers for any reason or even travel. If 2FA decides to kick in then, your account is effectively dead with most companies until you regain access to your old phone number.

    The place I work at is about the same size as this office and only has one exit (and that's the main door). Many of the facilities I visit for work are similarly lacking. Maybe the US really goes over the top, but there are plenty of p

    Japanese buildings also are massively lacking in emergency exits. Almost no building would pass US safety codes or even come close to it.

    I’ve been seeing the same article here rehashed since I was in elementary school over 20 years ago. I trust CCP statistics as much as I trust western reports about China. Which is to say, not at all. China probably isn’t as rich or powerful

    Maybe you shouldn’t do it. But it happens. You also shouldn’t drive your car into other cars. But we still put seatbelts and bumpers on for those who do.

    You'd think this, but no, it's very recent that people accepted animals feel actual pain. I mean, even now there are people saying that sure, crustaceans get hurt and respond negatively to harmful stimulus, but it's not real

    My exaggeration was in my understatement. America isn’t uniformly bad, but some cities are far beyond having merely one strange person per block. The downtown cores of many west coast cities really do have wide regions that resemble cinemat

    I mean, yeah, I exaggerated a bit. I completely understated how absolutely horrible it is in some places like Portland, with people completely lining the streets in some points in downtown. When I lived in Portland, Old Town Chinatown felt

    New York, Seattle, Philly, Portland, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Denver, Boise, Harrisburg, St Louis, and quite a few more. I’ve lived in towns of about 15,000 that had the problem as well.

    This is a question that will likely sound incredibly offensive, but only because I don’t know of a polite way to say it. But: What’s wrong with the mentally ill in America specifically? It seems like you can’t walk down a single city block

    Nintendo also said the DS didn't compete with the GBA and the Game Boy line would remain a third pillar. The GBA was abandoned the day the DS launched. 3DS game releases have also almost entirely died with the Switch's success.

    A lot of those game bundles intentionally underpromote the bundles so that they get maybe 100 sales, then they resell the keys for higher margins with no cash going to the dev. If a bundle company asks for 10000 keys and their bundles are c

    And China is even bigger, yet they never tried any sort of excuses. When you factor in check in, security, getting to and from the airport which often isn’t near the city, etc, high speed rail is way better. Drop in 10 minutes before you ne

    I think if news of that got out, the US government would not be happy with one of their companies being complicit in signing Chinese malware. China gets away with a lot of stuff because companies can write it off to spies or other infiltrat

    If Microsoft cared, they wouldn’t be hosting that on their very own servers. GitHub belongs to Microsoft. They could pull that down at any time just because they feel like it. But they haven’t. That’s a pretty solid sign that there’s not an

    Honest question: since you think absolute surveillance in schools is beneficial, what about society at large? Should we have cameras in every possible corner of the world as a crime deterrent? If not, what should be the cutoff? Schools only
