Yeah I think I'll just stick to "millennial"

Hey thanks buddy, you too.

Got it queued up to download when it's ready. Boost and Sync were my two reddit apps of choice. I often used boost when sync wouldn't work on a device I was using.

Careful, that first letter is going to define everything about you!

I enjoy the furry art style and aesthetic, even though I'm not into the kink or sexual stuff.

It's like being an anime fan without being into hentai.

If I needed a chip in my head to function in society, I think I would just withdraw from society. I'm barely comfortable with our reliance on smartphones and internet connection in our day to day lives.

For Japan, you could encourage growth in the economy again, and encourage population growth by simply requiring companies to give ample vacation time, and require people to use said vacation time.

It's fucking ridiculous how much time Japanese people are forced to work. They basically spend the entire day at the office, sometimes the entire night with staff because companies force staff into not mandatory but totally mandatory afterwork drinking parties, and by the time people get back to their tiny homes and apartments, they might get a Sunday off to sleep off the exhaustion, then it's back into the office.

Many Japanese youth never even see their father, meanwhile they themselves are relentlessly robbed of their time by schools, after school clubs, cram schools, English Schools, test prep, and stupid amounts of homework they're expected to finish on top of that. Many of my students are on summer holiday, but are just as busy as school time thanks to all the homework they're saddled with and the clubs and jukus certainly don't let up for summer.

Nobody respects other people's free time here, thus people don't have the energy to do anything outside of their daily cycle, let alone fuck. Why buy a game console, TV, or a nice car when you never have time to enjoy it. Why go to Okinawa, or Fukuoka or Hokkaido when you're only going to have 3 days tops to enjoy it, and if you do somehow get a week to blow, why not take the dream trip to Hawaii, and spend your money out of the country.

Japanese population and economic troubles ultimately cycle back to the end of free time that the miracle period encouraged, and the bubble economy drove into overdrive. They have tried everything but taken this issue seriously, and the only thing they've come close to resembling addressing this is creating more national holidays, which are always way off from any vacation period, and many companies try to get out of giving time off, ands those that can't expect workers to make all the time up the day after.

They are literally working themselves to death here.

More like when I use it, it never works, but when a wild Pokemon uses it, it hits every. single. fucking. time!

I agree with this fine gentleperson. They seem wise and totally cool and stuff.

I have. The name will come up, but no results will show. Also looking at this thread from lemmy, I will see my kbin account, but not the reply from my mastodon account.

Oddly though my lemmy account and mastodon account can't see or interact with each other.
