That's a very subcomplex idea of how media works. Of course, everybody understands that there is a difference between fiction and reality. And "reality TV" is fiction as well, even if some people might still be fooled by that

The bad thing is that the cultural weight Japan holds is based on myths, hearsay, misunderstandings, or lack of deep insights due to the language barrier. The image of Japan in the US and to a lesser extent in Europe is very far removed fro

Oh no that is dweeb blasphemy. Never ever question or even dare to criticize any little thing concerning the alleged awesomeness of all things Japanese.

I think the issue starts with the moniker "shamanic", which does not sound like a place many people would trust their health to.

But the thing is, defamation would be legal under absolute free speech. Nobody could sue for it.

Russia has free speech in that, until very recently, they were allowed to spew their fake news propaganda in Western countries through outlets like RT, Sputnik, Zero Hedge (that one's still on), etc. etc. Maybe nobody who greenlighted

So if he purports that Twitter now limits freedom of speech, the only thing he can mean by that is hate speech, dangerous medical misinformation, conspiracy bs, or calls to violence. I've always had a gut feeling that Musk is political

I'm going through a similar situation. I'm very reluctant to tell new people I meet that my job is internet-related. Many nontechnical friends have come to know the internet mainly as either a cesspool of disturbed people, or a si
