There is a whole anime about all the bullshit jobs people in Japanese government do (Servant x Service).

@pedrooliveira936 I... literally put it right there in the post.

@chriscalderon1337 In reality very few people outside of Abrahamic religion care about these rules. Before orthodox religion took over the world because it was good for controlling people, most people observed religious rites because it gave them mental wellness, and didn't think too much on it after that.

It's a self defeating prophecy. "X candidate will win anyway, so why bother?" Nobody seems to realize that is only happening because they all collectively think that.

@michaellacks9179 Uh... "cold take" doesn't mean "bad," it means uncontroversial.

@m.m.1301 Nah, religion in pagan Europe was quite communal. Most "Christian" Christmas traditions are actually pagan, done to appease them and entice them into becoming Christian so they didn't have to give up their parties and stuff.

@Noctaru Modern Squeenix seems to be set on a one-way track to ruin itself with poorly thought out initiatives. They were doing great until the mid 2010's.

@RM_VFX I figured OP typod. There's no possible way any game cost half a trillion dollars. The company probably isn't even worth that much

@Astavyastataa Don't even bother, he posted just to passive-aggressively take pot-shots at Americans once again. It's become such a trope online. I roll my eyes every time I see it.

I'll pretend that I learned something amid all that Kanji and Chinese.

This is how government generates jobs. Government jobs are a staple in Japan, many people rely on them.

You really shouldn't be so arrogant, you'll find it very difficult to talk to anyone else about your beliefs without them immediately thinking you're obnoxious. Like I did just now. Even if you believe that God is holier than terms like "religion," there's this thing called "being polite" where you keep your opinions to yourself when it's obvious you'll put off the other person.

Skull and Bones may be a very close second or even a competitor for the first.

@senipie Sadly I'd say this problem is more due to ignorance than anything else. If your nation's government is capable of hosting a website, they can make a voting system that allows people to vote from anywhere. Properly overseen and designed, digital voting is a million times more secure than ballots which have to exchange hands several times.

@marikothecheetah9342 Wouldn't it be the US getting into Poland's ass, in this case? Or do you mean that Polish officials like to suck up to Americans? Sorry, here in the US "crawling up someone's ass" has two different connotations. Either you are causing them a lot of trouble, or you are trying to impress them so they like you more.

That's always been a melodramatic interpretation. No Christian sees it that way. The Eucharist is supposed to be like partaking in the Last Supper, which, as we know, Jesus was not eaten at. The terms "blood and body of Christ" are purely metaphorical.

@holydrummer Then I suppose, like in all things, there's a bigger divergence of opinions than I realized.

@Candlemancer We'd be so much better off with their oppressors, the Muslims, ruling the world once they've all been ended. /sarc

@Trainfan1055Janathan It's still the official term of the AKC. You will hear many who style themselves dog experts call female dogs bitches in the US.

That's almost certainly not what they were getting at. "God is dead" is almost always a reference to Nietzsche. The Japanese are very fond of referencing him. Nietzsche's essays on the matter are not made from the perspective of an atheist coldly making a factual statement. They are made from another Christian, lamenting the fact that society no longer acknowledges God. For God to be dead, he would have had to be alive in the first place; the statement does not even make sense coming from an atheist's mouth.

@Astavyastataa Yeah, it's like I am forced to browse /int/ (4chan's "international" board, renowned for its mindless bigoted shit posting) at all times.

@DundG Their marketing analysts are shockingly dumb. It seems like they are content to believe that Twitter users perfectly represent the tastes of audiences outside their nation. This problem goes all the way back to the earlier days of gaming, where you had Japanese execs who would alternately believe that Americans as a rule preferred harder games, and in the worst case would ruin their own games with artificial difficulty to meet this supposed demand, or even the opposite where they believed that Americans preferred easier games (although this was less common). Meanwhile, in the US, Japanese gamers were usually seen as more dedicated or more skilled. Ironically, Resident Evil was really easy in its native release for the first two games, and Capcom later re-released them as the "US editions" that included the difficulty modes the US had. RE's reputation for creating the survival horror genre likely would never have happened if we got the easier version

@lisprn-tt1tu It's a small minority of Westerners that are over-represented using Twitter. Ironically, though, you are not far from the truth. I am an American, non-religious, and I have long held that Puritanism infects our culture even today. Even on the so-called non-religious progressive left. In the 1960s through to the 1990s, it was the position of the left that women should be free to have sex and pose nude because it is liberating. Now it is demeaning and objectifying. That was previously the position of the Protestant right, and they use the exact same terms and reasoning. Yet somehow sex workers are still a protected class that do not "demean" themselves with their own labor. It is a completely cognitively dissonant, untenable position.
