Mine:

1. Learn a second language and keep up with the language your parents speak. You will regret being a brat about not wanting to speak this language especially as your family members pass.
2. The only opinions about you that really matter are from the people you respect and who respect you back
3. Being a kind humble person, who leads their political convictions with curiosity and not self righteousness is important. As that one person said: "I am no hero and neither are you."
4. Don't throw out your old media (mix cds, tapes, records, photos, zinee, etc) because you think they're embarrassing. They either will not be embarrassing later or they will become expensive and you can tell them for mad bucks.

Japan protects children online very differently to the UK. (Shout out to red rose for the heads up - it was interesting.) While the UK Online Safety Act is driving biometric age verification and platform-based ID checks, Japan has taken another route: mobile carrier filtering enabled by default for under-18s, combined with parental control and digital literacy.

There is no nationwide social media ban in Japan. Instead, age controls typically sit at the telecom/SIM registration layer rather than at individual platforms.

In this video I explain: • Japan’s 2008 Youth Internet Environment framework
• How mobile carriers determine age at SIM registration
• Why filtering is enabled by default for minors
• The parental opt-out (waiver) mechanism
• The privacy trade-offs compared to UK-style age verification
This isn’t “no regulation” — it’s a different regulatory architecture.

If you’re following UK Online Safety Act developments, this comparison shows that “protecting children online” does not automatically require biometric ID checks across platforms — but every model comes with trade-offs.

Let me know in the comments: would you prefer telecom-level filtering, or platform-based age verificatio

Avocado. I heard much about these fruits/berries/whatever. But I am a poor guy from a very poor and totally non-tropical country. So apples and carrots are the sweetest things around and apples become too expensive too.

Still I bought a few. Just out of curiosity. It tastes like... butter block. Internet says that it should be this way. So... Why people eat it? Maybe it is bad alone and\or raw, but after some preparation it is delicious?

Am I missing something?

Life is very hard for us, and every day we try just to survive, and any help, even small, can make a big difference for me and my family. Please don’t forget us in your kindness and support.
