  • Internet cafes will still have a niche and function to fulfill

    Absolutely! They're the perfect place to crash after a night of drinking but you've missed the last train and can't go home

  • There's a reason why an extremely anti-lgbt republican who's actually just in the closet is almost a cliche nowadays

  • It'll be the latter. The US hasn't had a legitimate 3rd party since the Whigs in the 1850s

  • the baby was reportedly tightly wrapped in a blanket with his head "propped on top of his body" to conceal the fact that he was decapitated

    Jesus fucking christ. There's evil, there's comically evil, there's cartoonishly evil, and then there's this. What in the everloving fuck were they thinking? You always use gorilla glue when trying to cover up a baby decapitation!

  • Yeah, I'd love to see them play the uno reverse and say "all right, we agree, no christian products, no jewish, no muslim, no jesus christmas items, not even a kosher pickle" for like a day or so, search and replace lgbtq with religion, then counter sue him and the "investor" he's representing with the same suit.

  • Well I got into one little fight, and my mom got scared

  • Given Samsung’s flip phone has an IP rating of IPX8, which means it’s protected against being submerged in water but isn’t protected against dust (for now), it seems likely the flour played a part in the phone breaking. But being able to survive 400,000 folds would still mean the phone should survive over 10 years of use if you unfold and fold it around 100 times a day.

    Honestly I'm impressed it survived for as long as it did. I played around with a demo model last month, and I figured it'd break rather quickly even with normal use. But I guess the conclusion is as long as you take care of it, it'll be fine. Still think it's all a gimmick though.

  • The right to privacy. Just because I don't want someone watching me 24/7 doesn't mean I'm up to no good

  • Ah ok, I got it. So yours are ok but your friend's are off-limits, yeah?

  • Mate, please, he taught English here for 1 year. I've been in engineering, marketing, and finance roles for over 20. So I've got a pretty good feel for what it's like here and don't need any additional "context". Do I think we should get more time off? Yes. But go take a look at what Americans get and how much OT they work and then tell me Japanese work culture is so bad. I'll give you a hint, they get fuck all and average more OT hours than us (9 hours weekly compared to 6 in Japan). And have you ever heard of 996? That's literal slavery in China. Could Japan do better? Sure, but it's not the 80s anymore for christ sake, it's different here now.

  • Ok, then why isn't it on youku or bilibil or wechat or telegram or whatever the fuck the russians use? There's only two options here:

    1. That there is a global conspiracy where Putin, Xi Jinping, Kovind, Bolsonaro and everyone else ALL got together and agreed to absolutely never dunk on the US even once
    2. You're batshit insane

    Pick one

  • rule

    Jump
  • ah nah, he meant the money wasted on making the app that no one wanted to use

  • rule

    Jump
  • good! that just sounds fucking ridiculous. there's literally 0 legitimate reason to restrict orders to an app only

  • What after work nomikai? The few companies that were still doing that stopped after covid.

  • I'll throw some money in!

  • Use Firefox bro, it's better

  • Even if it is a minute amount of money, I'd hope they tell them to stuff it. Or at least drag it through so many appeals to make the issue meaningless

  • I'm from Tokyo and have been working 20+ years, the idea that all Japanese work themselves to death is meme nowadays. Yes, it was like that before, and there are still a few companies like that now, but it's not representative of the whole anymore. We do get vacations. There are 16 public holidays a year, 10 vacation days required by law with an extra day for each year of service at the company, and the government will fine companies that don't force their employees to use at least half of them every year.

    "Overtime" is also a bit of a joke. The average salaryman does probably 2 hours real work every day. The rest is just trying to look busy while dicking around on facebook. And attitudes about that are slowly changing too. I rarely see anyone younger than 35 hang around the office late to look busy anymore, they know there's no point because it's not going to get you a raise or a promotion anyways.
