  • Not against the technology development itself, but it’s a fix temporary, symptomatic treatment at best. It does not address the root cause.

    In the analogy makeup, it needs to be cleansed every day and applied everday again to keep effectiveness and avoid adverse effect to the skin. Symptomatic treatment needs upkeep once employed while the root cause is still there. And in case of aerosol injectiom even after the root cause is resolved, retrieval of those particles from atmosphete is much difficult and costly. There are countless technology that seemed reasonal fix at the moment later revealed to be of harm due to oversight.

    Is my pov doom and gloom? Maybe. However there are tremendous uncertainty, and the global nature of aerosol injection its effect on existing system is hard to predict, if not impossible. New technology develoment needs to come with development of its harm reduction / retrieval method (as in cleanser analogy).



  • I don’t know where you get the information tho, it’s factually false.

    Japanese have have /h/, /ç/, /ɸ/ consonants in ハ行 (written as ha - hi - fu or hu -he - ho but pronounced differently). The consonant /ɸ/ is generally transcribed as f in alphabet.

    フ(f+u) is the only letter that pronaunce /ɸ/ in regular ハ行, but ファ行 (f + other vowels) indicates sounds with /ɸ/.

    Transcription of wifi in Japanese is ワイファイ, not ワイハイ.



  • Japanese here. There are specific editors often categorized as “アスキーアートエディタ” (Ascii Art Editor). They often come with libraries of existing AA to modify, and can display image with low opacity to “trace” image.

    Large part of jp ascii art made/appeared in 90s to early 00s at underground forums like 2ch. Those editors were tailored for their speifics such as font family (MS-P Gothic) and size. The display/font system is different nowadays, but unlike “AA artist” in those times who is 100% comitted to make vertical line aligning pixel perfect most of people find those AA displays ok.















  • From a country who strips one’s citizenship if one gets another (Japan) and following the court cases to allow dual citizenship I say the motivation for dual citizenship is not because so that they can work for their origin country. Duties and rights of citizen work in both ways.

    From what I can tell the main motivation for citizenship is a) directly related restriction in job market ( eg. operating license for the field) or b) to legalize and secure their right to stay with their family members. Immigrants have financially attached to the country of living and their decision is often practical, and their vote is dependent on whether the policy is beneficial to them, like people with single citizenship.

    It needs proper background check for sure, but the argument of foreign interference is fear mongering and often xenophobic imo.
