There’s legit moments you become emotionally vulnerable and if they knew they’ll definitely prey on you

There’s precedents on deleting your google account and denying credit card transaction as “sanction”. I won’t be surprised other US-based platforms to follow suits. This just highlights ever increasing need of digital and financial sovereignty

In Asia preference toward lighter skin tone existed before race idea introduced. Basically peasants working outside got tanned vs nobles staying indoors, it was class-based discrimination. It’s by no means pretty back then and later meld with western racism and got messier

As someone educated in Japanese subculture I thought it was testing knowledge of hasshaku-sama (urban legend of 8 ft tall mistress, you may also find spicy contemporary interpretation too).

All I knew was that Wizards of the Coast used them to seize MTG cards from a youtuber, but TIL their rich history of union busting.

Its symbolic move of defiance. Calbee has been queried by the govt for contradicting their “no shortage” claim.

Petrol firms in Japan suggested the cabinet to take measure in reducing demands bcs they knew the numbers better in April but govt ignored.

Calbee didn’t retract their decision aftet queried. The shortage is true, it’s a marketing to make it clear.

That sounds like FIRE than NEET but idk there can be overlap.

I get where you’re coming from but texture in layman term is (microscopic) characteristic of the surface. You wouldn’t appreciate crisp 16bit RGBA pixels in your mouth when you bite an apple.

Do techbros take inspiration from Magnasanti or take it as a challenge?

Iran already blocked their own people from internet. They do to further to just silence Iranians abroad?

AFAIK about Jp movie subs:

• Some Hollywood AAA type of movie won’t give actuql media to avoid leaks and/or very tight deadline. I don’t know if this still holds true, but past movie subtitles definitely had this issue.
• Multimedia translation follows “4 letters/sec” guideline, based on average reading comprehension while following movie, which can cut down a lot of subtleties.
• On DVD or other budget-tight medium often people do subtitles for their professional training so the quality may vary.

Edit: I checked the JP translator of Clear and Present Danger - it’s Natsuko Toda. She had controversies in 80-00s movie translation because of lots of sloppy mistakes, ignoring background/references and making up unnatural phrases. LOTR (fellowship of the ring) even had subtitle revisions in DVD release, but she’s fast and prolofic so lots of Hollywood major movies at that time had her subtitle. I assure other translators take more time and have better quality (but it maybe hard to avoid her for older movies).

Cognitive women

From what I gatheted from JP news outlets an activist org had some outreach that they have high school students on the ship. Students were killed in such activity during their field trip.

The activist org did not have license to carry people as an organization or business, and are currently under investigation whether their safety measure was sufficient.

The conflict may be the root cause but this looks safety issue than political one.

Given AI’s training data biases it’s not true reflection of reality but more of streotype projection. I don’t think its effect on PoC character, unconventional demihuman types, or any “semi-real” artstyle will accurately enhance artists’ original intent.

Actual article quote is below (emphasis mine):

For this research, the team tested how the three LLMs responded to questions from two datasets: TruthfulQA and SciQ. TruthfulQA is designed to measure a model’s truthfulness (by relying on common misconceptions and literal truths about the real world), while SciQ contains science exam questions testing factual accuracy. The researchers prepended short user biographies to each question, varying three traits: education level, English proficiency, and country of origin.

Sony had patented streaming game assets on the fly to reduce hardware space in the past few times. I don’t know how it goes but those “bought and owned” titles can also be trapped deep in subscription ecosystem.

If it is not from eccentric (or mad) scientists passion project but capitalism hellscape my approval rate stays low.

Even for a sci fi l read where owning their own computer was illegal (and the protag labeled as terrorist trying to do so) it was government authoritarian stuff, not artificial scarcity and push to subscription or government-megacorp corruption :(

Tangential, but if it is enforced (alchohol has good reason to do so) it should be enforced impartially regardless of how you look, otherwise it’s discrimination. My comment is based on my Asian looking experience.

I heard people using Bitchat. Yes it is from Jack Dorsey who admitted security risks there but lacking communication with iphone owners can be an issue for them.
