Japan’s changed in the last few years. Chain restaurants there’s a separate air tight smoking room or you can’t smoke indoors at all. Local places might allow it but I feel like I don’t see it much even then. The only places left that have it seem to be bars or izakayas.
No, you use the fascist power granted by fascists to abuse the fascists who granted it in the first place. Power is the only thing that stops fascists. Start with a few nights in a black site for the justices who thought granting absolute power to the president was OK. If scotus already accepts fascism from their team it’s already too late for your plan to work.
Dunno, better call in an etymologist to study what bugs the birds are eating.
First season Wesley is sad to hear you didn’t like him
I’d already been doing contact juggling by the time the fushigi came out, but the ads implied that you could just… perform a skill by buying their product. It’d be like a company marketing the “mystical multiball” that shows people juggling 7 objects and implying you too could do that if you only owned their particular set.
I agree with you that a large part of the problem is that destruction is easier than creation, but it wouldn’t be hard to get a lot of progressive things in if there were the political will for it. Appoint tons of progressive judges and start putting through huge increases in wealth taxes, climate and social programs, workers/union rights, scale back police power, etc etc.
But even if there were hundreds of leftist judges waiting in the wings, the dems are too corporatist to support stuff like that, so the best they can offer is some social programs that won’t upset the status quo too much.

I signed up for a gothic class my frosh year that was described as American gothic-- vampires, werewolves, all that good stuff. I dunno if the prof didn’t write the course description or if it got changed later but it was English gothic, which apart from the origins of the genre (Walpole, which ended up being hilarious because tons of modern tropes originated there, like the maiden in the castle using the subterranean staircase to flee from the mad king when a gust of wind blows her candle out) and some of the more satirical stuff (Austin), it was incredibly boring to read.
There was one called The Mysteries of Udolpho that’s this meme times 10, where during a wagon trip there are literal 30 page descriptions of tress. I get if we’d been warned that this sort of thing was largely historical and we could pretty much skip the sweeping depictions of scenery that only existed because most people in the 19th century didn’t get to travel much so it was exciting to read about exotic landscapes, but the assignment merely amounted to “Here’s a 650 page novel, go read it for next week.”
At least we got to do Frankenstein and I think there was one Poe story thrown in as well (despite being American).
Not sure why these articles are only coming out now. My work bought me a win11 computer a few months ago and I was surprised to learn that the first few things I downloaded to the desktop showed up on my one drive. I don’t really use the account I have on it for much, and it was easy enough to turn off in settings but it was still a shock.
Just another invasion of privacy by a giant corpo that none of its users asked for
I still use my s10e every day on my commute with the headphone jack plugged into a radio tuner so I can listen to podcasts
What’s it look like without wax?
Been meaning to go back and finish Subnautica. I had a good time with it but one sea moth got destroyed bc I couldn’t find the zap key in time and I got ejected from another when it was really deep and couldn’t go back down and get it without collecting more resources.
I enjoyed the game but I wish it was like 10% easier with QoL improvements, like having a bigger inventory, your ship respawns, etc.
Did they ever fix the issue that an American teen used a hilariously bad interpretation of the Scots language to write thousands of articles on the Scots wiki?

Hey, that very qualified white lady went on to be a shitty governor of a state at the bottom of countrywide education rankings
