According to a quick Google fraud in Japan is
obtaining property or illicit economic advantages through deceit.
Gifts I assume are property here
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 3 days ago:
Any male dominated channel that ever “gives advice” gets shunted into that pipeline by algo pretty consistently.
I like stand up comedy and it’s a full time job keeping Rogan out of my suggestions.
- Comment on Duke University lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies and signal transduction 1 week ago:
I don’t know, sounds like someone who uses the wrong bathroom to me
- Comment on How streaming changed the way you watch TV 2 weeks ago:
Yeah that was exactly my thought.
I don’t miss commercials at all (and am annoyed they appear to be creeping back) but I do miss the mono culture quite a bit.
- Comment on It is what it is 2 weeks ago:
It does have that, but don’t for a minute think they actually control chromium. If Google wanted to they could make life very difficult for brave.
Currently brave still has support for manifest v2 but that will eventually be removed and the more brave diverges from the upstream the more work is required to keep it going.
- Comment on Aging is fun 2 weeks ago:
You just need to hydrate a bunch. I drink Gatorade or a ton of water after any alcohol. Obviously if you go out and drink a 12 pack that won’t help you but 3 beers in a night should definitely not leave you feeling like crap the next morning.
Actually even if you don’t drink you should stay hydrated.

You can still mangle a Robbie of you have the wrong size but you do have to work at it.
- Comment on Every toddler becomes a hackerman when they find a tablet 1 month ago:
This says less about toddlers than it does about what Apple knows the public requires to use a computer.

I don’t needs a little more jpeg if you ask me.
- Comment on Fucking google did it again, they "fixed" something that never broken. This time they make thumbnails way too big even with 70% zoom 1 month ago:
The reality is that more and more web users are phone and tablet only.
Phones and tablets are consumer devices and most users are consumers rather than creators. This is especially true outside the Anglo-sphere and in developing countries.
All this to say it’s going to get worse and may never get better.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 1 month ago:
As much as people complain about electron (some valid, some not) Linux has benefited quite a bit to the cross platform availability of local applications.
- Comment on Someone give me money so I can find out 2 months ago:
Those are not usually real gold though.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 months ago:
The reality is that there is no tax break large enough to make up the difference in costs for a lot of things. Even with tariffs China is still cheaper.
- Comment on Switch 2 preorders delayed over Trump tariff uncertainty 2 months ago:
No no those other countries will pay the tariffs.
- Comment on LUNGS WERE A MISTAKE 3 months ago:
Are you maniacs just getting in the shower and then turning on the water? Who doesn’t turn it on first and wait the 10s for it to warm up?
- Comment on Games can no longer use virtual currencies to disguise the price of in-game purchases in the European Union 3 months ago:
At least at a casino you can get something of value. The games effectively reward you in company script.
- Comment on Welp. 3 months ago:
I mean English is sorta the science lingua franca so I imagine most of the technical words would be lone words if they showed up in a paper first.

I mean a paint spray gun is basically that…
And yes

You can have a technocrat without a technocracy.
- Comment on no ragrets 4 months ago:
All the energy of the lab with all the problems of a poodle
- Comment on Google’s Sergey Brin Says Engineers Should Work 60-Hour Weeks in Office to Build AI That Could Replace Them 4 months ago:
Generally the actual term used is technocrat.
People opposed to them would generally say they get focused on the end result and neglect the human aspect.

Aha Airforce one likely uses SQL
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 4 months ago:
Not every person in the United States was born in the United States and even temporary workers can get a SSN

Coffee to get you up wine to bring you down, everything in balance.

Trump is going to bring the egg price down any day now
- Comment on Yep, you did. 5 months ago:
Orwell - "the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”
Huxley - “the perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would be basically a prison without walls, in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essential be a system of slavery where, through consumption of entertainment, the slaves will live their servitude”
I would agree
