Exactly why won’t take root there

It’s hard for westerners to understand honor based moral codes, but that’s exactly how it works. You can disgrace someone’s honor by doing bad things to them and it’s not really a fault thing, it’s more about protecting honor and it’s preservation a virtue.

This is how honor killings work, it’s part of systems designed to restore individual or family honor by killing someone who is disgraced.

There are several models of morality, not just the individualist morality models we understand intuitively.

Does Japan even acknowledge what happened in Korea?

Honestly malls are thriving where I live, and I go regularly to extremely large crowds. I know it’s a trend worldwide, but if all I knew was my local city, I would have no idea.

If you think the demand isn’t there, you’re out of touch. It’s certainly true that many consumers are choosing digital content, but it’s largely driven by it not having inconvenienced them so far too.

Everyone I’m seeing who lost the 3DS and Wii U stores, or lost access to all the games in their account, or even people who purchased media they can’t download and access again is realizing how big this problem is.

I mean, except it’s not a conspiracy. The death of physical media is an actual tragedy because digital media is nowhere near as free.

It’s to the point where much of the media I love is actually not available legally and officially for physical ownership, in some cases becoming actual lost media physically, and not available for purchase or even download anymore.

Companies absolutely want to control the consumption of media in more restrictive ways that they can control, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s the actual truth.

DRM, always online, digital only, subscription services - they are all designed to remove you further and further from being an owner.

Everything from video games, music, movies…all entertainment media is moving in this direction and it’s an actual tragedy.

I mean, even Google AI says it’s not bad, and in concept I kinda agree. I’ve had bacon donuts before and it was legit

I took out a loan, but the service request was in my partner’s name. It’s my phone, but now I’m getting crazy crypto spam WhatsApp stuff in her name, along with home security spam and other spam I never got before. Since it’s coming to my phone, in their name, either or both companies sold me / us out and we were getting calls within days.

You got voted down, but this is absolutely real. I speak multiple languages, but none with the nuance and clarity of context as I do English. I communicate with folks all across the world that are all English speakers, however, the variance in comprehension is so drastic that at times we’re really not using the same language, even if we’re using some of the same words.

If you emigrate to a country, it’s a reasonable expectation that you’ll learn the language. The United States doesn’t technically have an official language, English is just de facto, but from a practical standpoint it’s absolutely occupying that role, and will in perpetuity.

I can absolutely agree with the premise that being frustrated with language barriers isn’t racism, it’s an actual real and realized impediment to understanding.

Poor Starbound, forgotten to the ages…

Actually technically covers require royalties, whether they’re on a CD, or performed at someplace seedy.

They’re not the time honored tradition you think they are.

It wasn’t even that long ago. I bought tons of discrete parts from RadioShack like, even up to 8 or 9 years ago. They had these drawers full of things, pots, LEDs, ICs, sensors, motors, dials.

The Jaguar lied with the truth, and I say this as someone who still owns one.

I bought some games for it, but never the console

I feel the exact same way. I know a lot of people who have been, and I never did. I guess I assumed it would be around until I finally went.

I was wrong.

No, I don’t think you understand, sorry. They might actually if we don’t watch carefully, who is to say?

Didn’t Ukraine get invaded during other such drills? Wasn’t it a ‘special military operation’ near the border?

Same, both Digg leading to Reddit, and Reddit to Lemmy

Oh my apologies, I was skeptical about a space station that could go to Mars as that’s why I thought that meant by their wording.

Maybe they didn’t mean it like that

Yeah, but your claim is being and to go to Mars with the space station
