The idea that heterosexuality was in some way useful or important for the human species to operate as a whole was deemed problematic, and discarded only a couple games in.
You'd think they could just put it to a public vote: Anyone who votes "yes" in a district that also voted "yes" can house the future scholars, everyone else gets a wall around those spots.
'Cause right now, seems like the public opinion is very clearly leaning away from the governing body's decision.
Congress might approve it too, it's really on Oregon not wanting to lose their most valuable people: Non-Portlanders.
Might have been true 20 years ago, but you're huffing copium if you think #CurrentYear isn't going to #CurrentYear all over "historical" (hah!) media.
I support Coca Cola being sold in supermarkets!
See? It just looks stupid, contrived, and just a bit suspicious, when you support something that, wow, is already completely 100% supported by the mainstream media anyways.
On the one hand, good. They NEED to protect themselves from the west.
On the other hand, I used to love playing Millennium War Aigis. Great tower defense gacha game, way better than Arkknights. A shame.
Not only can they be hired, but the courts can rule the guy needs to pay for his own defamation.
They had the "debuff" of having a very generous environment: Mild winters, lots of food all year round, for a long time no need to farm because you could just hunt or gather enough for everyone, whether you were migratory or not. That strongly shapes your tech tree. The fact they still built megastructures when they had no need for structures at all in the first place tells wonders of at least some of their ambition.
Humans are too diverse to have evolved naturally. You look at dogs, and the sheer hundreds of lifespans it takes to get the different breeds, with their different temperments, and then one mongrel runs wild, and it undoes the whole thing. If humans evolved, they'd all have the same values, appearance, and mindset. Only the fact they were created by God 6000 years ago can explain how different everyone is, getting along, but not becoming just one phenotype.
There you go, if they argue in favor of Creationism, win. If they argue in favor of evolution, you just confirm humans are indeed like dog breeds and immediately end the conversation with the note that it's a good thing pit bulls aren't responsible for a disproportionate amount of dog attacks due to their natures, because that would imply something about humans.
They should bargaining chip the whole thing. Free instant travel visa authorization is a privilege, not a right, and if you show that you can't police your own country enough to have safe tourists, you shouldn't have access to freely travel.
As a North American, I could, at one point, literally just walk into Russia. I did it once. Said "yo, checking out some museums, I'll be back in about 16 hours." And the border patrol just say "Ya. Go." and you were right on in. With Russia. Anywhere in the world, even. We don't appreciate that for many countries, you need to get that shit months in advance, with background checks!
That privilege is worth a hefty chunk of political change, and if Japan threatened to get the ball rolling on stopping that privilege, of which many other countries would then follow suit now that it'd be normalized, even without getting the rapey samurreye'n'sheit back there'd still be negotiations and chips to be offered.
You know, places where the homelessness policy is "fuck the homeless, we toss you in prison work-camps if you're out past curfew without a camping license" tend to have very few year-over-year homeless. Not saying it's compassionate or empathetic, only that giving to the homeless = more homeless while taking from them = less homeless, same as literally any other demographic in the world.
If I gave record spending to people who waste money on gacha games, guess what? Gacha game whales would go way up. If I give record spending to people who buy carrots at the grocer, we're gonna have a shortage of carrots from the additional people. You give record spending to the homeless, well, same deal. It becomes a more lucrative option compared to, say, waiting out a bad situation at home until you amass enough currency to drop some rent down-payment.
Despite the facts they have a different skin tone, language, culture, countrysets of origin, genetic markers, and driving social motivations, they're clearly the same race as "white", doncha know.
Until it's convenient that they're not, at least.
It's about as common as a dirt farmer being elevated into nobility. Technically, it could happen. Did happen, with (I think?) Hideyoshi. But it's an incredibly rare thing, notable when it does happen. Add to it the fact Japan was in-fighting and in-warring for centuries, and any losing side lost all their nobility often, and what you get is a very slim pickings as to any common filth who ascend to nobility AND who live long enough to have three generations and a "real" family name to pass along.
For what it's worth, while it may have been stolen land before, now it's conquered.
So... Clickbait. Thank you for the plot summary!
Imagine a world where dirty jokes can't exist.
Oh, that's not a command, that's a manga and anime recommendation. It's very much a realistic, but comedic, possible outcome for Japan if the Wokes win. Where breeding is prohibited, and knowledge of any sexuality or sexual content is punishable by severe prison time or even death.
You're whining about suspension of disbelief... In a show with a talking vampire shirt that can turn into a rocket-booster in order to fight aliens in space... where there's enough oxygen to breathe and talk?
Shoo, my little brony.
Well, if purchase isn't ownership, then piracy isn't theft.
The sheer number of "refugees" who vacation back in their home country is ridiculous. The recent Isreal conflict really highlighted it even to normie-vision lately, with news for a while being non-stop "this person, who is [western country] permanent resident after getting out of Gaza on refugee status, was stuck in Gaza as the conflict started while visiting friends and family for a party."
Unless you own a game on a read-only disk, you don't really own it.
Top front and center, the fascist/communist symbol of oppression against the masses in favor of The Party.
Makes sense.
We may be garbage human beings, but we ARE human beings!
But was it in a sword-free zone? Was there a sign? If there's a sign saying it's a sword-free zone, then there can't be any sword attacks.
Boeing saw that Ford Pinto action and went "dayum, gotta get in on dat."
