    Their goal isn't to save the world. It's to stop EACOP, an oil pipeline that's displacing thousands and cutting off access to drinking water for little to no compensation. The goal is to bring attention to it and scare away investments, thus saving the local community.

    People are starving and she's a billionaire. There you go. Fucking hate the argument that she donates to food banks in cities she has concerts in, like it's not some lazy PR stunt. She can donate to every food bank in the world and still have copious amounts left over.

    Japan was a hermit state for 270 years but then in 1868 the Americans came with the big guns and forced them to open their borders. Keep in mind it's only been 153 years since they opened, and a hermit mentality is still very much a part of the Japanese culture. So the joke is

    I don't think many people would care enough about being verified on Twitter for it to be one of their dying wishes.

    It's working because their aim is to sway investments, not overall public opinion. Also if it's just about being an inconvenience, what's all this outrage? People in the west rarely get so fussy over inconveniences that have no bearing on their lives.

    スクショだとこの方のちぎり方は雑に見えるけど、綺麗に裁断して勝手に上中下巻に分けちゃう、みたいな人はたまにいますね。 あと高校時代、分厚い過去問集を裁断する人は山程いた。

    別にトトロを批判しているわけではなく、「トトロには今から見るとヤングケアラーの描写が含まれていたな」と考察されているだけですよ。ムキになるところではありません。

    Just a theory, some Japanese nationals (myself included) spend a large part of their childhood/adolescence in other countries. Maybe she's more comfortable with English when it comes to words of affirmation?

    というより負担改善がないことに呆れてるんでしょ。 例えば日本では無麻酔分娩が標準だったり、元ツイの通り帝王切開だけ手術着なし全裸で手術台まで歩かせたり。 明らかに改善の余地があるのに、皆の大事な大事な子を産んでいるのに、他人事かのようにいつまで経っても改善がされない社会に呆れてる。

    that this pressure from entitled citizens of foreign (Western) countries to "stay open" is very much in the vein of what happened 153 years ago. History repeats itself I guess.

    Oof sorry I just realized it wasn't that complicated, it's just a reference to the Bill Wurtz video on the history of Japan.

    これは特権というより女性に危険な社会への対応だよな… 女子寮って一般的に男子寮より高いし、女子学生の下宿家賃の方が高いのも有名な話。安全って高くつくんだよね。 そして比較的安全な日本では性犯罪以外にセキュリティの必要そんなないから、安全確保負担は女性に偏る。

    若手向けの社員寮制度があったが、 女性:都心の築浅借上マンション 男性:郊外の風呂トイレ共同単身寮 という待遇差だった。 ぶっちゃけ同一賃金なのに男女で月給が5-6万違うレベルだが、優遇されるのが当たり前だと思ってて特権性を認識できない子はそこそこ居る。

    女性の方が全身剃ってるけどな… 髭剃るのは身だしなみのためだし、比べるなら女性の化粧品(ひげ剃りより高い)
