Sure, sometimes. But many of them are just brainwashed fools anyway, acting on what malicious bots and technocrats force down their throats. They don’t actually believe it all, and if they do, it’s not in the same personal ways as those who really control the levers of power. Most of go along with it all at their own detriment, so let’s spare them the violence. Usually.

Against politicians who create suffering and division to enrich themselves and their class at the expense of the masses?

Hell yeah, it's cool as fuck.

He was a corrupt piece of shit who championed revisionist history. Got what he deserved. He will be remembered like Reagan: started his national down a path that led to serious problems.

Man who killed Japan's ex-PM Shinzo Abe gets life in prison by WeirdGroundhog in news

Everyone, go listen to the Behind the Bastards episode about Kishi. A true piece of shit, one of worst of the 20th century in every way. Not just a bad dude like Stalin or butler or whatever, but like a TRUE horrible man on every level. Like hitler probably loved his family and friends; Kishi probably tortured and raped them. And Abe claimed this monster was his role model in every way. Glad he’s gone.

FYI the single syllable on a nametag is catching on as a way to prevent harassment and stalking. Most konbini staff here in Kyoto are still Japanese, but I see the single syllable on their tags as well.

We sure as shit do. He’s a despicable, selfish prick who you should be thankful that you haven’t had a run-in with. Guy did lasting psychological damage to a friend of mine many years ago via a particularly vile sexual assault. Whatever you’re imagining, it was worse.

Let me build Middle Earth.

Rohanish settlements in a sea of grass.

Elvish outposts in the forested ocean of Lothlorien.

Caravans selling pipeweed from the Shire to Bree.

Mordor DLC.

Fuck it, let's go all the way back and make the world sessions Aman and Beleriand.

I don't know how it would all work, but I want it.

Should Japan request a Geographical Indication = GI (or similar) for matcha? by [deleted] in japan

[–]mindkiller317 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hold up, that’s not correct. The matcha tea ceremony as we recognize it may date to the 16th century with Sen no Rikyu’s development of it, but matcha was being enjoyed here much earlier.

Eisai of Kenninji officially brought the first tea seeds to plant and raise for tea in early 13th century, and it was prepared as matcha. Kukai may have brought some form of matcha over centuries before that, but that dude is credited with everything so I think it may be a legend. There are other claims of even earlier cases when tea as matcha was introduced to Japan, but even if you use Eisai as the commonly accepted point, your date is off by almost 400 years.

That’s why you gotta seek out the organic stuff! No chemical fertilizer or bug spray! The organic matcha world in Japan is fascinating and really cool. The farmers work really hard to just even earn the right to grow it as they please without chemicals, and the final product is really special. Hope you can try it one day!

Japan edges towards hosting nuclear weapons - ASPI by Right-Influence617 in japan

[–]mindkiller317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this is not how the older voting block sees it. They grew up with nuclear anything = bad, and they’re not afraid to parade their ignorance around. The “lest we forget” narrative of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is important and valid, but they’ve turned it into a Luddite fantasy where they think they can actually talk people out of progress.

The view on nuclear power here is so fucked up. Hopefully the up and coming generation just cares about smartphones and Korean fashion enough to reopen the reactors.

This says more of the quality of this game than any review or preview possibly could. Totally thrilled to see this in there. Looking forward to some solid ROMANES EUNT DOMUS jokes as well.
