Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.
Japan-based backend software dev.
When Epic first launched, they didn’t have payment processors in a number of countries. Want to play that Epic exclusive game? Well too fucking bad because you can’t buy it. That one frustrated me as someone who lives outside of some of the major countries. Also, the people behind it are absolute tools in my opinion and I’d rather not support them.
I mean, I lost all my old posts (or at least access to them) when two instances I was on just poof’d.
I grew up with family on the OH/WV border and some in WV and I’ve never seen the abomination in the picture.
Things really need to start now on establishing a party and running candidates from local on up to combat things in the next major elections. If the democrats refuse to properly do their jobs, then elect those who will.
Not exclusive to the US. Japan also has problems with it. When both spouses are Japanese citizens, they MUST choose one of their names to use by law.
Doc saw my arteries, said I would die…
A couple of family members like fried bologna sandwiches, but I’m pretty sure it’s because of past trauma nostalgia more than flavor.

I can’t read plain-text, uncoloured HTML
That’s all we had back in the day. The only difference that jumps out to me is having attributes, but that’s still not that crazy. Even back when I did web stuff, I used notepad++ without any particular higlighting the vast majority of the time for plain HTML (though not JS).
I’m on board so long as we switch to a language that’s actually pronounceable like Norwegian or something.
I thought “slow poisoning” said “sin posturing” and was very confused.
As the user posted, one human can have more than one SSN in their lifetime. Many humans will never have an SSN. Some of those humans may have a TIN. Some humans may have at least one TIN and one SSN at some point.
Replied to a comment there today; can confirm it’s alive.
I had a gf when we were both in our 20s. She had huge body image issues when she was a teenager. She always worried about ther looks, but she was beautiful to me and many, many others. At like 24, she couldn’t drink or eat anything too soon before going to bed. Liquids we’re the most dangerous but, if she lie down, it would come back up. The acid from vomiting after every meal permanently caused her health issues.
I would recommend therapy for one thing, but also not caring so much about what others think. And, believe me as I also struggle with a number of things, that’s so much easier than it sounds. You should find and do things just for you and not anyone else. That’s not to say you should be completely selfish or something, but you need to realize that you are important and respect yourself. Again, easier said than done and I even struggle with this as a dude in his 40s sometimes.
Nothing changes for long overnight regarding mental health. It will be a battle with ups and downs, but I think it’s a battle worth fighting. Please take care of and respect yourself!
A ton are actually grown in hot-houses in northern Japan as well to support the off-season time.
Japan was largely allergic to price increases, especially as wages remained largely stagnant. Corona began to see some things slide and Russia also had an impact that, coupled with a yen weakening compared to the dollar, basically opened the floodgates on price increases. It’s in the news basically every week now. Rice is double what it was a few years ago.
“I have reduced the US’s debt by X” claims are one potential option. It could also be any other number of things.
From the US and I’m familiar with it through British media.
I get local (I think free-range, but don’t recall) for 400 yen/10. I think “regular” eggs are about the same (edit: same price as in your pic) up here in tohoku
I’ve gone through all the stages of grief and I don’t live there. I honestly don’t know why it does or even should bother me. I guess there is some part of me that hates injustice and has some nostalgia for an America, real or always imagined, that was trying to do its best for the free world (even though that was, in many cases, found to be objectively not true later).
If anything, it seems like they may finally get rid of some of the stuff that makes it difficult to impossible for US people living overseas to use certain retirement vehicles without committing tax fraud (PFICs; PFICs everywhere and I can’t put income into my US tax-advantaged vehicles due to rules on that side), but potentially doing one thing that helps me does not do anything to assuage my revulsion and rage at the current situation.
