It’s really awkward explaining this joke in other languages.

Japan is unlocked after NG+. Korea (North and South) is sold separately as DLC.

(Eat (soil and leaves)) vs (Eat soil) and (leaves)?

There was a whole mess with that cruise ship docked in Japan being counted as a separate case so it didn’t boost Japan’s confirmed case numbers, probably to save face before the Olympics. Looking back now it was only mental gymnastics.

Worst thing about this is that China gets to point fingers and claim racism while all East Asians abroad are lumped in with the CCP collaborators.

The Chinese logic is that they have enough domestic market to isolate themselves and shield from international pressure, economical or political. It’s been working for them since their homegrown platforms like wechat and weibo are big enough to sustain themselves.

It helps that Reddit along with other big platforms like FB absorbed all the traffic that in the old days would have been distributed into small separate forums. Not good for the ecosystem.

Social pressure is a real thing. I wonder just how many people in the US have iphones because of that dumb blue-green bubble stuff.

Linkedin is a cesspool and nothing but a dumpster fire. I wish I wasn’t pressured to joining it for job searches.

The Kazaa gamble.

That radio DJ speaking in the middle of the song you’re recording.

Let’s not mix NFTs into this.

While we are speaking of it, please let users choose between languages (original and target) independently of system locale.

Sometimes I encounter social media posts auto translated (probably through Google translate) but languages detection is messed up. And the best part is there isn’t a menu to choose.

Speaking of which, a mechanism to manage posts from instances your account has previously migrated away from.

Use of marquees is a violation of the Geneva convention. You monster.

There always will be individuals that choose to be a contrarian just because and paint themselves as “the misunderstood visionary trapped with the sheeples”.

Many including myself have been doing it since the mid 2010s.

Well, hispanics or latinos aren’t a single monolithic group of people. Some of them see the other latino immigrants (especially the undocumented) with disdain. It’s just a matter of stroking their ego and saying whatever that sticks to the single issue voters.

I’ve only worked for about a year as coder. I’ve used LLM extensively for work. I kinda feel bad that I might be lazying out on actually learning how to do it myself.

So it’s somewhere between Open-Closed:
