>realize every japanese cultural product is essentially rewritten

>you must learn japanese

Anyway, that’s how that happens.

People are people. The exoticism which is applied to Japan from elsewhere, and is applied by Japan to elsewhere are equally dumb.

Human experience transcends language, for the most part. You're really not missing as much as you think you are.

Signed, someone who has been speaking Japanese in some capacity since 1997 and has lived in Japan since 2008, bought a house here, plans to die here.

    If you want better candidates, you have to vote and keep voting.

    You need to choose the best people in lower positions so they can be prepared to take on greater positions. You need to vote in primaries, to make sure your party standard barer represents its platform the best according to you.

    Democracy is a verb. You do a democracy. And you have to keep doing democracy. Forever. Or it ceases.

    tbh I know a lot of you aren’t ready for the end of Man because you aren’t even ready to revert to the quality of life in the 1980’s. We’re talking European QoL here. No A/C.

    Imma b real I’m Alt-F4ing when that happens I’m not sticking around to live like that.

    Europeans get big mad when I say that the EU is just Proto-USE. Basically between the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution, but centralisation is rapidly happening as the EU structures gain more and more suzerainty over member states.

    What about heat pumps/mini splits?

    Those are increasingly common in Europe, and it's what is most common in Japan.

    If you mean centralised cooling, then maybe? I dunno. We had swamp coolers in New Mexico, central cooling wasn't a thing I had until I moved to Texas, and haven't had since moving to Japan a lifetime ago.

    What's a PS3? I think I've got a Sega Genesis somewhere though.
