If I remember my history right, Japan would've surrendered conditionally without the bombs and that was only after bleeding the allies and soviets a bit. The condition here was Japan gets to keep the pacific holdings that weren't already liberated. It doesn't take a genius to see why that was unacceptable.

The "tahun baru cina" thing used in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei isn't uncommon or disused btw. It's the term used by the native Malay population because Malay is the official language in those countries. A term not used by the cultures celebrating this lunar new year.

Samsung pushed an app in an update that plastered ads for charities all over my lock screen. Disabled that shit and my next phone isn't going to be a Samsung.

We have the same system in Australia. Constitution sets a maximum govt term but a parliamentary majority can call an election at any time before then.

That's Chicago deep dish. New York pizza is what we get here. The crust is thicker than Italian and is loaded with more toppings.

$38 a week is technically doable on rice and beans. Corporate overlords say you need to bootstrap harder.

Does Sky really do the "year 6 essay" style? All those headings are bringing back memories.

This feels like the opening act of something new. So like ARR all over again. Starting anew after the winding down of post-EW. The Scions get their adventurin' itch again and sail to the new world. Then eventually get mixed up with some big world-ending threat again.
