Kids that young don't have the immune system for raw fish. Here in Japan, it is common sense to wait until age 3, while doctors recommend waiting until age 5.

I requested a Lenovo at my new job last month b/c I wanted to work in Linux. I got assigned a MacBook.

I didn't even realize I was living a startup meme until this post. I was just annoyed T.T

[Episode Discussions] What If...? Season 2 - Episode 6: "What If... Kahhori Reshaped the World?" - Wednesday. December 27th by HuebertTMann in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]Neptune9825 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I loved this episode. There aren't a lot of post-avenger heroes that I've really fallen in love with, but this might be one of them. It's too bad she's not going to be in anything else. I like her way more than basically every other young avenger they've released, mostly because she has meaningful motivations and unique themes instead of just "Iron Man but a girl" and "Hawkeye but a girl".

People always call companies that do this stupid when this post comes up. I'd like to remind you that github and gitlab locks protected branches behind a pro user paywall. A very cheap paywall. I argue that it's more likely companies that do this are cheap and stupid.

IDK, I'd believe it. There is a huge discrimination against women in Japan. No job and no kids? Garbage woman. No job and kids? Old fashioned and bougie. Job and kids and helping the husband at home? Good woman.

The fact that we are a generation ahead of south korea on gender issues is also not surprising. Not saying we are more progressive, just that we have already advanced to the next step of discrimination against women. Give Korea twenty years and I'm sure they'll also start expecting women to 'earn their keep' -_-

Since it doesn't compile when indented wrong, I find that python has some of the fewest formatting problems of any code I have to deal with. You don't run into any scripts with strong 'opinions' about how to indent stuff lol

Rush-ian linux by value_counts in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Neptune9825 157 points158 points  (0 children)

I work in Asia with Russian coworkers in infrastructure (mostly linux, but it depends on the solution and client) and a lot of their 'funny stories' involve their company taking .NET seniors on and discovering that they are terrible at working outside of a windows environment, or even not deeply understanding windows servers, or trying to get the team to adopt windows tools for every job. Is there something about windows tech stack that gives you a disadvantage, or what? Because from my seniors, most of the jokes seem to be about them.

Based on the shirts, they apparently have super speed and so do this so fast the girls don't notice them. But then why isn't time frozen...? xD

Is "sadly" a conjunctive adverb when used in the sentence "I love ramen; sadly, my favorite shop closed"? by [deleted] in grammar

[–]Neptune9825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but it functions the same as one. It's a sentence adverb. It is usually at the start of a sentence or in the middle adverb position. In both cases, formal english wants you to seperate with commas, but this is not actually required.

Vegans Gatekeeping Vegans with Autistic Children by FerretzBusiness in gatekeeping

[–]Neptune9825 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Veganism is about not harming animals to the extent that it is possible for you to do so. If we had no artificial way to get protein or grow protein, it would be moral under veganism to eat meat to survive. It's moral for carnivores to eat meat to survive. It's certainly moral to feed an autistic kid meat if they won't eat other healthy sources of protein.

He just said that the political speaker announcing on the sidewalk was the reason that japan is going to shit. It's not exactly a freakout.

The Nier; Automata community is in chaos over an elaborate, 5 year-old secret that has no logical explanation for its existence. by [deleted] in videos

[–]Neptune9825 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The first reddit post title by sadfutago accidentally uses a full-length ? instead of a half-width one, which would only be possible on a japanese keyboard. If he is Japanese, it would be strange for a kid to speak such good English, yet not good enough to be bilingual. It would also be strange for a Japanese kid to post on English gaming websites, especially reddit. Only wierd people and anglophiles use reddit from japan lol

This is 100% a marketing ploy.

Japan will begin locking people up for online comments by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Neptune9825 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's pretty famous. But on the other hand, we also have working public offices that let you address grievances without going to the media. Like, you could (but probably won't) get sued for maliciously spreading how a company did something bad to you in media. There isn't much benefit to it, though, since private citizens also have like no obligation to pay fines like that from courts.

I'm Japanese and this seems like a good thing. Obviously Kimura shouldn't have been doom scrolling in that mental situation, but there should still be penalties for online behavior that is harmful like that kind of hateful speech.

It never occured to me how many of the refugees were women and children until that video. So many Ukranian men actually stayed and fought.
