That sounds reasonable, yeah. Basically, the reason most people here are boycotting the US US is because they have become untrustworthy and giving money to their corporations is looking more and more like supporting their government as well. But individual 1:1 interactions can be different, obviously.

For physical goods, yeah, but for software and digital stuff, the United States is already too compromised. I wouldn’t trust anything developed there.

It’s part of a more anti-intellectual movement in the United States, where the arts and humanities are frequently dismissed as “useless” because these people fail to understand that introspection, the creation of culture and the understanding of ourselves is in itself just as fundamental to human happiness and a fulfilling existence as the economy they’re so hellbent on defending.

If you have an amazon.jp account, you can also buy Japanese books for the kindle for a pretty low price. Though obviously Kindle books aren’t something you really own, so I prefer them for stuff I’m okay eventually losing.

And also Twitter is by far the biggest social network in Japan. There’s no chance at all.

It also wasn’t an issue with the GB and DS lines, and the Switch notoriously follows the handheld pattern quite closely, so I don’t think this will be an issue.

We do that in Spanish all the time, with the caveat that our verbs already change depending on who performs them, rendering pronouns completely redundant a lot of the time

I wouldn’t be opposed to very strict regulations for micro transactions tbh. Treat them like gambling and get them as far away from gaming as possible

For many Americans, perhaps this shows just how big Africa is, but conversely I feel that I had never expected Texas to be that big tbh

Bizarre and yet not very surprised. There’s all sorts of funny English used everywhere in Shanghai

I’m feeling agoraphobic just browsing through these pictures.

That it’s pretty miserable. But it’s really good.

Oh no, it’s in Marooner’s Bay

That doesn’t mean we need to discuss it everywhere, all the time. For starters, not everyone is American and wants to see American centric discussions everywhere, and also, not all discussions everywhere need to start revolving around modern politics. Creating apolitical spaces doesn’t mean being an apolitical individual. Just wanting to look for more peaceful alternatives.

I’m perfectly fine with being called worthless if you can’t see the logic behind that, I legitimately don’t give a shit as long as I can get a break from the insane and miserable shit throwing that is online political discourse.

If you like feeling miserable and angry every time you go online, great for you, but I’d much rather have an option not to do that.

Exactly. Just discuss anything else. Whatever. I don’t care anymore. I don’t want to know. I have absolutely no control over whatever happens in most countries, and I only have control over my own votes (if anything). Online discussion and politics always gets insanely toxic and dogmatic.

I’m not even American and I usually don’t care either way, but it’s so annoying. Why can’t we just have apolitical or at least more focused communities online anymore? I would literally join any community that outright banned all political speech for a change nowadays.

Hell, I’m from a South American country and even I heard it!

おお！すごい！6月から勉強していますか！頑張って！

No, I don’t think you understand what instantaneous actually means. It literally means instantaneous. Faster than the speed of light (which is actually why teleportation is physically impossible but that’s irrelevant).

Wouldn’t that mostly depend on how long teleportation takes? But if it’s instantaneous, you wouldn’t need to account for inertia to end up literally a couple of feet away from where you are, right?
