Escaping your own bias.

2 months in Osaka.

Wow, you’re practically Japanese.

If you pick a random place in Osaka it’ll be just as “mid” as a random place in Tokyo.

Can anyone with a deeper understanding of the history of the metric system explain why a gram is the base unit of weight, and a litre the base unit of volume?

I thought the foundation of the system was that a kilogram is the weight of a litre of water. But then why not name them 1 thing = 1 thing rather than 1000x a thing = 1 thing.

And yes I’ve had four cups of coffee and no sleep today.

When you promise support, you have to take responsibility when it doesn’t work.

Are we allowed to execute people for drinking water on the MRT?

If you’re copying a file to another server there’s still no reason to delete it on the seedbox until you have to.

Yeah, 100+ kids is fucking wild.

Telegram is owned by Russian Elon Musk and the FSB. Avoid it if you can.

Durov is an absolute scumbag though. Russian Elon Musk.

Telegram shouldnt even be in the conversation when there are alternatives like Signal.

I’d be thoroughly shocked if the FSB didn’t have a backdoor for telegram.

And no regional pricing.

“The west lies so everything China says must be the truth”

Is the most braindead logic I’ve ever seen.

I don’t think a fascist dictator can legitimately accuse anyone of a coup.

I’m not sure what drivers are like where you live, so maybe our standards are different haha.

But pretty much everyone hates these streets. Drivers hate how narrow they are. Cyclists hate weaving between cars and pedestrians, and pedestrians hate being the least protected things on a street full of fast moving vehicles trying to kill them.

The fact that rich assholes in Tokyo are starting to buy huge American sizes SUVs as status symbols is making the problem worse too.

At the end of the day, the best thing for every city is to make it as inaccessible as possible for personal cars, and make sure pedestrians and cyclists have their own delineated spaces for transport.

cars drive slowly and carefully because their drivers acknowledge the street as a shared space.

As someone who lives in Japan, I can assure you that this isn’t true.

My life is going to end under the wheels of a hi ace or a mamachari.

You don’t know what we hope[1][2].

Is word salad still on the menu?

Russian “imperialist aggression” isn’t what this was in the first place[3][4][5][6].

This is what I’m talking about.

When presented with two truths, you’ll accept the pro-Russian one without criticism as it’s what you want to believe.

Your logic is:

West = bad
Russia is anti-west
Russia = good

For example, I bet you believe every dubious claim made about genocide in Donbass from pro-Russian sources, but you probably believe Bucha and Mariupol are false flag attacks made by “Ukrainian Nazis”

Not because it’s the truth, but because it fits your worldview.

Unsourced my ass:

Thank you, why couldn’t the article have actually linked this instead of a reddit thread??

Also how relevant are cold war documents to today’s situation? Ukraine was part of the Soviet union when this document was created. Do you really believe the KGB wasn’t producing similar documents? Look at the “Foundations of Geopolitics” a book that is actually still influencing Putin’s decision-making today.

“A negotiated end to the war” probably doesn’t mean “surrender unconditionally” as many .ml residents hope.

Ending the war without rock solid security guarantees just leaves Ukraine open to further Russian imperialist aggression in the future.

And as a side note, can I also confirm if the bar for evidence is so low in this instance that unsourced grainy scans of documents posted on tankie Reddit subs are considered authoritative?

Your first link is a dubious site that sources itself to support it’s argument.

As for the language law. It could have been handled better but the impact was overblown by Russian propaganda.

Also you ask Russian imperialism to be viewed in the context of NATO provocation. Why is it not also fair then to view the language bill as a response to blatant Russian aggression?

So you’re just blatantly homophobic?
