Calling academia “evil incarnate” for that is a bit much.

This place is real but I’d recommend finding a different source to learn about it. Jimmy Corsetti is pseudoarcheologist who acts like real archeologists are conspiring to hide ancient secrets

-a person terrified of butterflies

-covered themselves in fruit juice??

-sat outside when the uninvited guest was coming over

-became the butterfly god

I’ve seen more believable stories in green text. The only reasonable part is planting milkweed

Well, shit. Greenhouse it is?

I’m debating replacing my ugly old shed with one

Do what my dad does and plant like 40 of em, they can’t eat them all!

Yeah this is weirdly sexist. I only know one person this describes because he’s growing weed (legally) in an apartment so he can’t have a outdoor garden

Hell, I know over a dozen men with gardens and only two even grow peppers. Everyone grows tomatoes, though…

I was planning to “start over” on my home server when I moved but so far I’ve only set up HA on a standalone device.

This project might be the push I need to get the real server online again, nice work

It is a comic

It’s wrong for you to want a funny thing, yes.

I cackled playing Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth

…when some NPCs moonwalked in the background during some dialogue.

Before that, some parts Yakuza: Like A Dragon which I thought was a much funnier and better game

That is a completely unfair comparison. For starters, Facebook is a for-profit advertising company and Wikipedia is a community-driven encyclopedia and should be judged by different standards

Second, both admins and users can edit Wikipedia when there’s a problem. Everyone is “responsible” for fixing it - or at the very least equally at fault

Next, the content in question. Facebook was (rightfully) given hell for hosting gore, CSAM, adult porn, etc. Things that are immoral, illegal, or outright dangerous. The offending content on Wikipedia is bad translations.

Lastly, the bigger issue is always enforcement of said content. Facebook was made aware of the problem users/pages/uploads and slacked off on doing anything. These Wikipedia pages have very low traffic and weren’t getting reported. And even with reports, Wikipedia then has to consult with people who speak the rare language.

They’re similar problems of vastly different scales

Don’t blame Wikipedia for that wtf

Point to the tariff that makes sense?

This is a really confusing comment and “boatracecrook” is an incredibly lame insult lol

They should just train a bunch of pigeons to drop leaflets around town

From what I remember from college, Japan’s ultranationalism in the 30s and 40s never really went away. I went to verify that and found a wiki page

And then anecdotally: my friend taught in Japan for 5 years and I experienced a bit of it myself. I also have a (white) friend who has lived there for 15+ years and has had plenty of unfriendly interactions - especially when he’s with his Japanese wife or son.

I don’t think it’s unsafe to be a foreigner in Japan but I think it’s fair to say Japan is more on the xenophobic side

I completely agree, Japan is very xenophobic and blocking immigration is the wrong solution to fix their very real problems

Obviously I don’t agree with any far right party but I can at least why a “Japan First” party would be popular, they’ve been in a pretty crazy decline since the 90s. And especially with the rice shortages, I can see why the average citizen would feel abandoned by their government

Holy shit guys, does DDG want me to kill myself??

What a waste of bandwidth this article is

Figuring out 1-4 must have been sooo tough
