Possibly a case of a westoid stretching their imagination into believing that a civil unrest in their country must be an indication of civil unrest around the world.

If actually a civil war breaks out in the imperial core, there are high chances that there would be peace in the other areas of the world.

My annual check-up revealed some health issues, which made me change my lifestyle a lot. I can clearly see how it can promote longevity.

Btw, which inaka would you consider? Looking at the summers this year, I feel the northern parts would still be livable in the future.

Umm, the “free markets” aren’t what they seem like either.

Hmm, so there is still a flickering ray of hope left.

This was probably one of the handful of times I went back to reddit in 2 years, hoping that the blatant genocide would have some sane noises rising up. I was stupid to think so.

Just reading the pinned post on r/worldnews makes me recoil with the unending racism, genocide denial and the cheering of the killings. I wonder if most of the Westoids are just so far gone or purely evil.

How could you miss the Ukronazi flag?

Why is “private forest ownership” a thing?

I strongly agree with this. A problem might be the way sorting works, a comment at the top would have the implicit perception of a higher score, even with hidden scores.

Did they just used “anti-fascist” as an insult?

The Schrödinger argument, there is freedom or not based on what you ask.

The Hazards of Love by The Decemberists

I’ve recently moved to Japan. Never had a will to move to anywhere other than Singapore, Japan or China. So I’m happy with where I am for now.

In my experience, gaming mouse or keyboard are expensive but the quality is better(ergonomics, endurance etc.)

But the two most unbelievably bad gears marketed towards gamers are chairs and headsets.

Gaming chairs are the absolute worst for my back and they generally lack good thigh support, both of which are absolutely necessary for long sitting hours.

On the other side, once I got into audiophile stuff I realized how bad these gaming headsets are. They are tuned to be shrill af so that you can hear footsteps better which you can achieve with an EQ(there isn’t any need of it anyways). Plus, their mics are absolute dogshit, and can be replaced by a cheap $50-100 standalone mic that will perform exponentially better with an added bonus of you not looking like a dork. Just buy an entry level headphones like the Meze 99 Neo and you would have a much more comfortable sesh because they are not bulky as gaming headphones tend to be and you’ll be salivating over good music after.

Agreed, I think I meant hypocritical in the sense of how Russia is pushing for a more multipolar world and less reliance on the west.

No it doesn’t help much at all, just to an extent of recognizing some Kanjis (but also misunderstanding some).

The similarity in Japanese and Chinese ends at Kanji characters and even though the meaning of a kanji is often close in both languages, the pronunciation? pretty rarely.

Japanese didn’t have a writing system and loaned characters from Chinese to record the spoken language. This lead to a mix of vocabulary from both languages as they started using multiple words for the same meaning, one coming from the spoken Japanese and others loaned from the Chinese.

The structure of these two languages bears no similarity at all.
