What am i not comprehending? You implied that researching Thailand would “update my worldview”, when I merely mentioned cultural preferences and better amenities. Researching Thai culture would not make one like it any better than Japanese culture nor would it eliminate the fact that Thailand is a poor country with poor amenities, especially if you’re moving to a rural village.
Also if you can’t handle the word “fuck”, then you might consider getting off the Internet.
The thing about adopting the “live and let live” philosophy with children is that children are psychologically incapable of understanding the consequences of their actions, or exercising proper impulse control. If their parents have failed them then it is the moral obligation of the rest of society to make up for it.
Why the fuck would researching Thailand suddenly make me like their culture and amenities any better than Japan’s
I was a high schooler last year and by this standard, every single one of my classmates’ parents are complete failures, including mine. Not that I disagree, but clearly we can’t trust the parents to do anything about this.
what if you like Japanese culture and first world amenities
Season 2 does get better. Episode 1 is mostly for recap purposes. The low budget for season 2 does really show during one of the arcs but if you can ignore it, then the story is great. Season 2 isn’t like season 1, where there’s one overarching antagonist. Instead, Iwanaga goes around solving different cases over a few multi-episode arcs. The format is basically the same though, and there’s still lots of talking.
People who didn’t like the first season’s pacing probably have had their attention spans whittled down to nothing. I loved the first season. Iwanaga is such a great protagonist and I loved the themes explored in her battles against the main antagonist and in her attempts to solve the other cases.
In/Spectre Season 2’s OP, Yotogibanashi, doesn’t get nearly enough attention, much like the show itself.
Legalese is actually a good thing because it covers every possible situation and reduces the number of loopholes. We have people like LegalEagle to break shit down for us into plain English. If we write the laws themselves in plain English then corporate lawyers will argue, successfully, that there’s a loophole that lets them violate the spirit of the law, or the government will apply the law in situations where it wasn’t meant to be applied in order to fuck over innocent people.
We should have that in America

Idk I just heard that apparently knowing how to use file explorer is considered impressive in modern CS classes
gen z, hate that trillion dollar corporations run our social media.
This isn’t even an issue for me so long as those trillion dollar corporations let me use social media the way I want to. I can just download an ad blocker and stay off the more garbage parts of their websites. The reason why I like the Fediverse is not because trillion dollar corporations don’t have a stake in it, because let’s be real, money was always gonna be involved. The reason why I like it is because I will most likely be insulated from the effects of enshittification and corporate incompetence on company-run instances. Even if the instance I’m on gets enshittified, it won’t be that difficult for me to just move to another instance, especially once the Fediverse matures and we get things like account migration, or even account federation, if I wanna keep one foot in both instances. Same for whatever community I’m involved with. Plus the fact that I can just block any community who’s users I don’t like means my experience will be way less toxic than it would be on Twitter, where avoiding toxicity requires a lot of effort. That’s one of the things I liked about Reddit, the structure kept the toxic people in their own little bubble and I was able to ignore their existence if I stayed off mainstream subreddits.
TL;DR: It ain’t about the money (or lack thereof), it’s about the potential for a better service.
I’m Gen Z, don’t use Linux, don’t know the first thing about programming (I know how to use file explorer though), and never intend to learn, and I’m here because I don’t wanna use the official Reddit app and because I’m convinced that the Fediverse is likely to become big in the future and I wanna be able to say I was here when it all began.
I’ll start actually posting things when my favorite communities jump ship from Reddit. Until then I’ll just lurk while occasionally commenting.
High school aged children are well known to be complete and utter dumbasses, especially when it comes to making mistakes who’s consequences are abstract and long-term in nature. Punishment by social superiors is oftentimes the only thing preventing them from doing idiotic things, because their brains are not developed enough to think very far into the future. And even then, proper impulse control is one of the last things a developing brain develops, so they might understand the issues but be psychologically incapable of the self-control needed for it. Not to mention, social media apps are designed by psychology experts in Silicon Valley to be as addictive and distracting as possible, since that’s how you get people to use your app. Having those in your pocket, when you’re too young and dumb to understand the consequences of overusing it, and can’t even exercise self control when they’re pointed out to you? It would be irresponsible for us adults to continue allowing it.
Parents aren’t worried about this, and that’s the root of the problem. If the school system does nothing about it, then the kids will just end up addicted to TikTok and completely unprepared for the world on account of being distracted in class. Their parents aren’t going to do anything about it until it’s too late.
