It’s just still a spelling bee. They’ll find some fitting term to call it and that’s that. Everyone knows the show is set in a different country anyways. The concept is intuitive enough, even if it’d be very easy in most languages.

Seconding the otome comment, and a link to a relevant tag on vndb - you can probably find anything from not very sexualized to pure smut on that list, and there’s often screenshots. https://vndb.org/g542

Being bad at identifying faces with features you don’t commonly see isn’t racism, it’s inevitable. Also some people are just bad at identifying faces even if they’re not fully face blind.

I hated public bathrooms as a kid (still kinda do but a bit less so), so I regularly went 12+ hours without.

4500 a month for housing is insane, is rent actually that bad in the US? I could rent a villa for that.

You are also missing private retirement funds though (and if car dependent 100/month seems very low for transit costs)

It’s the equivalent of grooming. So yes, it is morally questionable. But so is every “training someone to do a thing”. People just accept it with animals as long as in the end the animal seems fine, because it’s only ever about what seems normal and not about the actual impact. And I’m not saying it’s all a horrible moral crime, just that it’s a large grayscale and can’t be painted as good or bad blankly.

Doing that to random wild animals for no reason does feel rather fucked up to me because until the end point (which in that case is likely just the realization that there’s no danger) it puts the animal under a lot of stress. Not to mention the potential issues with wild animals losing their fear of humans.

Isn’t that mostly just reverse engineering though? The tools for doing that are available, hence why open source support for phones exist at all, the technology is just a lot more complex.

That last question sounds like an opporturnity to shill symphogear, so I can’t miss that. Watch symphogear

“The working classes have control of the state” good one lmao. They have so much control that millions protesting in HK just got violently beaten back and ignored.

Yt adrev highly varies based on type of content

Because the concept of “masculinity” and “femininity” is at its core made up, so by just swapping in a woman and keeping everything the same you’re showing a massive middle finger to gender stereotypes and roles.

Having frequent or traumatic experiences with members of a group is not a good reason to hate that group at all unless it’s actually the group’s defining feature directly causing it, and it’s their own choice.

That’s different to suffering from trauma as a result, which obviously you can’t control, and might result in some behaviour that looks similar on the surface.

The eye brows visible under the hair and the eye style feel pretty anime coded to me tbh

…why is it this meme making me realize that the name is a pun on warui, meaning bad

Yeah, lots of correct observations, but also lots of wrong conclusions. I’d even argue the very first point about culture is very relevant, because japanese culture inherently puts a small bit of breaks on the aspects of capitalism that spiral out of control (they have tons of hypercapitalist issues too, though).

I think it’s correct that having private companies compete has certain advantages in railway infrastructure, if the right framework is given. Imagine someone from here was to start a railway company - they would know about induced demand, about the importance of having frequent service even at times of lower demand to enable rail as primary transport. They wouldn’t have to convince rightoids that spending public money on that is worth it, they could just do it and see the results. In general the good thing about markets is that they enable less planning overhead as everyone focuses on their own thing. Loosely some sort of swarm intelligence.

But none of that will ever work when cars are effectively subsidized and even private rail companies would still be beholden to massive political hurdles for building new lines. Though especially the latter is a real question about tradeoffs of benefit for society vs. individual preference with no single correct answer.

You can even have a child be the abuser. One community I’m in had a case of a 13 year old lying about their age and manipulating MULTIPLE older teenagers. People are just complex.

It can be rather helpful for some things but I’ve yet to see any actual data supporting it being “substantially faster”. To make something that works and is of equal quality, that is.

I mean if you’re just making the same slightly different website for different customers or similarly boilerplate stuff, I’m sure it’s substantial. But that’s not really most of dev.

It’s honestly insane that (even as rarely as it’s relevant for a european) this thread is the first I heard of “latine”. All that discourse about latinx and NOW finally I’m being told that there’s been a less stupid attempt at a solution before that. Finally I can stop feeling weird as I’m trying to decide whether to just say latinos as I have no idea what the socially accepted word is in the context I’m in. I can just say latine.

Because it is, somehow, an actually very well made game. One of those things where I first just learned about the anime and just thought that sounds dumb, but man the game is actually fun. Also the recent spinoff anime series (cinderella gray) was actually just a very good sports anime.
