Good post.

Jokes aside, he ain't perfect but they're (both parties and the media) literally handing him the election win at this point.

I don't get it and at this point I am afraid to ask...

You should see how God-awful it is here in Puerto Rico.

Example from one job ad online:

Electric Engineer, 5 years minimum experience needed, 7.25 starting hourly wage.

¡Senda falta de respeto, coño!

Wow... just destroy the world socioeconimic and political infrastructure leading to a borderline extinction level event just to implement shitty AI.

I'm tired, Comrades...

Giving it that kind of permission is like the most obvious thing not to do.

When I read that IBM quote, WarGames and WOPR come to mind.

Wasn't that the party run by a virulently racist convenience store clerk?

[–] TheRogueKitten@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

Yep.

Especially since the same conservative party has had power for the better part of SEVEN DECADES.

This is why I discourage anyone borderline worshipping Japan as like this high tech utopia.

It's a borderline ethnostate with deep rooted systemic political and racial problems (in particular with Koreans) and one hell of an aversion to women.

The Japanese people are nice with a diversity of thought like any population but let's not kid ourselves, Japan is a conservative's political fantasy.

And like the US, it hasn't fully purged It's far right (in this case, fascistic) elements form it's recent history.

Japan: A lovely place but a political hellhole.

And don't get me started on their cops!
