Fuck OFF. You know exactly what to do- it’s what your countrymen did, more than once, when they accomplished the things all of you have spent a couple centuries loudly taking credit for.

Do you think there weren’t colonists who were worried that rebellion would cost them their livelihoods? Do you think your grandparents fought the Nazis risk-free? You aren’t special. Your shitty job that you hate isn’t special. They were real people- you understand that, right? Everyone who ever stood up for anything consequential had plenty to lose.

For as long as I live, I never want to hear another American crowing about their oh-so-grand revolutionary spirit. But, sure, whatever- wait until your country decides to invade us and hope that we’ll take action since you spent three decades watching with your thumbs up your asses and failing to do anything while the rest of us accurately explained to you precisely what was going to happen.

This is why, unless you plan on running for office, you don’t naturalize in Japan. You’re forced to renounce your first citizenship and after doing so you’re still considered a foreigner for all practical purposes. You become effectively nationless, regardless of your passport or what it says on paper.

Good for these citizens, but there is less than zero public pressure on officials to change these shitty policies/procedures.

“It’s not racism, it’s just that (insert the most racist thing you’ve ever heard in your life).”

For a lot of people, tweaking hardware and screwing with software is as much or more of a hobby than playing games.

I’ve got about a dozen retro handhelds that are loaded with the same games but they’re all configured and modded differently simply for the love of tinkering. The time I’ve spent fooling around under the hood vs playtime is easily 50:1. But like… that’s what I buy them for.
