I didn’t see it in the search. They may use other terms like 閉める or something, but we have no legal requirement here that I know of to allow for account deletion. No company I worked for did until we wanted to do business where things like GDPR (I think it’s called) is a thing.

It can mean delete in some contexts.

last I checked, FF doesn’t have support for full-page translation of Japanese. It’s basically the only reason I still use Chrome sometimes.

You could try looking for 消去 but I didn’t see anything with a google site search. I’m not going to visit the actual site.

Using alcohol as a self-medicating behavior caused me more pain, ruined relationships, lost me jobs, etc. than anything else. Stay the fuck away.

I think this article is wrong unless reporting a loss of a bit over 41k in USD is news.

You can search for her takes on trans people and that will probably, but basically against basic things like gender-affirming care and positing that trans is a social fad amongst youth.

Arguably, many people groups indigenous to what is now the US (and often times into Canada and Mexico as well) were each their own countries and sometimes joined into confederacies (for example the Iroquois Confederacy and some others). I do think indigenous voices frequently get lost (and that does need fixing), but I don’t know if there’s value in representing them as a single unit as though they were a single nation before. Many groups came over at different times, migrated around, etc. They’re not even all in the same macro language families (and may have come from separate peopling events, but that’s a whole other can of worms).

I started to write a novel, but suffice it to say that I left nearly a decade ago and many things seem to be getting worse rather than better.

Binging with Babish - the content just drifted away. He started doing a show with another guy and I just didn’t watch those episodes. Then, the content went further and I stopped watching.

Joshua Weissman - he just became insufferable at some point. I liked his older content.

Shadiversity, Sabine Hossenfelder - they have positions that cause hurt to people and that I morally do not agree with and won’t give watch time or ad/sub money to. There are probably more here, but I don’t recall. They’re welcome to their opinions, but I’m not entitled to view them or fund them.

First we Feast - mostly watched it for Hot Ones (the Motz’s stuff was fantastic!) but I got tired of Hot Ones, didn’t know most of the guests for a long stretch (not living in the US or really consuming US media made me lose track of things). I also kinda got burnt out on the format.

Linus Tech Tips - to me, it just became the arrogant, egotistical Linus show. There was some other stuff that kinda put me off as well. Maybe it’s better now, but I haven’t watched in a long while at this point.

A number of creators I’m not thinking of - I hate when prescription meds are advertised (which isn’t even legal in the vast majority of countries) and how they just want to sell dick pills without a real, non-conflict-of-interest doctor involved when the cause may not even be physical. I worked in healthcare for a long time and that just rubbed me the wrong way, particularly when creators in countries where it would be illegal for them on TV do it (and it may not even be legal/available in their country but it is in the country of at least US-based audience members).

Edit: and the 8-bit guy now, based on others mentioning things, checking other sources, and even checking up a follow-up video he made a year ago. I’ll pass.

He got locked out of his youtube income for a loooong time and had a rough time with it. He also had some legal issues that prevented him from doing some of the videos he used to do. I don’t watch it as much as I used to, but I still watch some.

And are surprised when the other 95.8 don’t understand US Customary Units, but you saw this gag coming from 3 Rhode islands away.

A lot of the top set come from latin and/or french (sometimes borrowed from one into the other first). Lots of words around the legal system, government, nobility, etc. come from those roots. Many from the Norman conquest but some earlier. Some even got borrowed in twice (not french but both shirt and skirt are borrowings of the same word at different times).

A lot of diplomacy was also french be cause that was the language for diplomacy for a long time. For some sciences, it was German.

A lot of the more working-class, I guess, and later words follow the old Germanic patterns (the base of a lot of old English coming from Anglo-Saxon and, to a lesser degree, old Norse)

If I have to give only a binary yes/no answer, the answer is no. In reality, there are lots of variables ranging from breed, pen size, herd makeup, season, socialization, hunger, weather, and even more that would factor in. That’s without considering the other variable of you as a person they don’t know.

Edit: that’s not even to say the cattle or a bovine would intentionally hurt you. They’re big, sometimes clumsy, have horns, etc. I follow some youtubers who have been raising cattle anywhere from a couple years to most of their lives and they still are very careful in a lot of their movements and interactions.

I live in rural Japan, so that may take a while, heh. Thanks, though!

BG3. I moved after I started playing and haven’t had time to really go back to it and, at this point, kinda forget everything.

People in Japan do it all the time. Ideally, the chef would get the proper amount of wasabi on everything and you wouldn’t need/want to do it, but that is not always the case. It is generally looked on more favorably to dab some wasabi on each piece rather than mixing, though.

McDonald’s pizza. Technically like 1 location still makes it. It’s mostly just a big nostalgia hit for me.

A Rax roast beef sandwich.

Wendy’s pitas. When I worked there in the mid-90s, they had pitas that I quite liked.

Now I want fast food, but it’s not worth the hour to get to McD’s and back.

I mean, a lot of people do jump in with little or no research and try to spend their way out of problems. That is definitely not good, particularly when animals and animal welfare is involved.

It’s really an acreage with a garden and some animals, but they call it a farm, and aren’t really interested in the actual farms.

I mean… are we gatekeeping farms now? I’m trying to feed my family and hopefully have enough to sell (starting next year, anyway; we moved here too late this year and I’m still learning my land). In my case, no animals for now (though chickens are in the cards for next year and maybe we’ll do something else the following year).

I do plan to commercially farm, though I also plan to keep my day job for the foreseeable future. Market gardeners with a good market can make quite a lot off of the ~5000sqm of farmland like I have, but there’s no market that’s going to be good for that in rural Japan. The best case scenario for being commercially successful in that way would be to network with chefs in the bigger cities, but I have neither the talent nor reputation for that (nor would I want to commit to that until at least another year or two when I can confirm stability). I do have friends who run a restaurant who are willing to pay for some of what I am growing if it works out, and another lead in the nearest big city (~1 hour away), but that’s it.

I’m outside nearly every single day preparing, cultivating, sowing, harvesting, etc. and treat it like a job. I just harvested ~15kg of potatoes this morning (literally one of the first things I did when moving here was get those in the ground) and a few kilos of green onions. Am I not at least a part-time farmer? The local government says I am, in any case (buying registered farmland in Japan is a process, lemme tell ya).

JapanLife and JapanFinance. Tons of knowledge for people living in Japan where language, the legal system, etc. all are much easier to navigate with the help of people who have been here. They never really got off the ground in the fediverse and are the only reason I still go to reddit.
