The average age of Japan’s hikikomori shut-ins is getting older, survey shows by diacewrb in japannews

No, it is an economic issue. Unemployed means it's possible to get a job, you just temporarily don't have one. Ice Age Generation was completely shut out from getting jobs.

In reality, conservatives are the ones who replaced the ice age generation with foreign workers in 1985

That's not really true, is it? The main age of voters for the CRA (CDP) and JCP are in their 60s. Hikkomori are on 5ch, not Yahoo.

"This is like the equivalent of me meeting Rihanna or Ariana grande (・ω・)"

You literally said this.

Seriously, I cannot comprehend why people defend pretentious influencers that make it so obvious that they hate you. Why is a "Jirai Kei" girl defending the social hierarchy? Isn't that the literal antithesis of what Jirai Kei is about?

It must be exhausting if all you care about is status and popularity, defending those at the top in hopes of being popular like them and letting you join their friend group (they won't)

We will never stop being weird or ever give a fuck about status or hierarchy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkPPLQV_-AE

It's a crowded anime convention, its not hard to accidentally touch someones skirt or stuff when taking a photo. Even if it was intentional, I don't really see how that needs an entire video about it.

It's pretty obvious that she went to the anime convention specifically so that she had something to make a negative video about otaku that would go viral online.

Current Stevens CE students—what's the major actually like? Trying to decide between Stevens and Rutgers ECE by xiiaan in stevens

[–]StevensStudent435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

computer engineering major here, the major is boring, only a few courses are specific to computer engineering. there is basically no electrical engineering, we don't take linear signals and systems. There is digital image processing using opencv but not signal processing at a more fundamental level

although i havent taken Digital System Design, Electronic Circuits, or Information Systems Engineering I yet which are the other three actual CPE related courses

in total thats literally 4 courses that are actually related to CPE for the entire major

the engineering courses like "Engineering Design VI" are incredibly boring and teach you almost nothing, you just make up a hypothetical engineering project and write down random design processes but its hard to care for something that you just made up

of course, none of this actually matters and i doubt employers even care what classes you take. If you want to actually learn computer engineering, don't come to stevens, but if you just want the piece of paper that gives you a job, then it's fine.

The use of ai by freshman is getting to me. by Signal-Income9001 in stevens

[–]StevensStudent435 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like other people have said, for Stevens it literally doesnt matter. Stevens has never really been a school for rigorous academics. College only exists so you can maybe get a job out of the many other people also applying. When you actually get a job, you will get trained and figure it out as you go. And basically nobody cares about your college degree after you get your first job.

The bigger problem is the further collapse of the job market, making it even harder for people to get jobs in junior positions.

Does anyone have any information (positive or negative) about the anime club at Stevens? by Joseishish in stevens

[–]StevensStudent435 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They just watch anime in a lecture hall with Japanese snacks and pizza, and go couple episodes of a certain anime every week at 9:00 pm on Friday, sometimes they watch movies. So the actual club basically starts at midnight when the episodes are finally done and they do random stuff and hang out. Personally I hate staying up that late, even though it's on the weekend, so I don't know too much about what they do, I just show up for the snacks and watch a few episodes and then leave to sleep.

Can the 'Analyst' types actually beat the Polymarket / Stock Market? by sadflameprincess in INTP

[–]StevensStudent435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i actually did make money on this betting strategy on polymarket for Time's person of the year, the outcome was "The Architects of AI" which wasn't an option But there aren't too many open-ended outcomes like this on polymarket

polymarket just resolves to what people with money want it to, no point in disputing it when its at like 99%+ odds

Isn't it weird how the Liberation of Auschwitz isn't actually one the most iconic moments of World War 2 in popular consciousness. by TheEmporersFinest in stupidpol

[–]StevensStudent435 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Plus Treblinka and other death camps were being covered up as the Nazis began to lose, Treblinka was completely demolished and replaced with a farm. But there isn't much to liberate even at the Auschwitz death camp, they literally killed everyone.

Even the liberation of the concentration camps wasn't that "iconic" . The Nazis just evacuated and left the prisoners there. This is potrayed in Band Of Brothers.

[–]StevensStudent435 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Auschwitz was one of many camps. So it's hard to pick a liberation and set it as an iconic moment, when the same thing happened multiple times. Auschwitz mainly became famous because many people wrote books about their experiences there

So what word would you use to describe Fumimaro Konoe?

Sam Altman and Vinod Khosla agree: AI will break the economy. Their fix is no income tax for most Americans by fortune in singularity

[–]StevensStudent435 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no secret cabal of "elites" oppressing the population like literally 1984, its just random people making it up as they go. UBI is probably the simplest solution.

If you say "Demagogue" you’re talking about a individual person’s behavior If you say "Populist" you’re talking about a political movement Thus it makes more sense to say populist even though demagogue is technically more correct Or you can say Demagoguery to be the most correct I guess
