After that it gets pretty ugly, especially if you're Korean

I've spoken with black friends who have visited Japan and ironically they get treated quite well, likely because they are linked to America and in any case are such an oddity

Yeah. Blacks in America see themselves as different, Japanese see Black Americans as Americans and are treated with the same "Respectful Distance" as they treat all over Americans.

That's cool.

Hopefully that's true when I visit Japan someday...

From what was explained to me, Americans are basicly their own clan, Uniformed Officers are the highest Caste, followed by Uniform enlisted, then Corporate Reps, and finally dependants.

just don't be a dindu

:^)

I'm white, though.

oh

lul

So the "dindu" thing won't be a concern.

The Japanese don't really see a difference.

Honestly, I think we should take a couple notes from Japan in terms of respect and culture, in a sense.

I was sent there for a while for Bi-Lateral exercises.

How was it?

Interesting.

Some ways I would say they are really behind the US, others they are ahead.

Technology-wise, they're ahead. Society-wise, also ahead. Pop-culture-wise, I dunno.

Well yes and no on both.

am i allowwed to ping admin

There are things that we do better here in the states that they have a bit of a hard time wrapping their heads around but once they do they can run with it.

Both the US and Japan have bomb-ass food. (See what I did there?)

However, Japan needs to definitely rethink the idea of 12-hour work days and whatnot.

I was there in uniform and most of the people I dealt with there were also in uniform so I can't speak to their coporate culture directly.

That's up to Japan

"Make Japan Somewhat More American!"

(In terms of labor laws, that is...)

One aspect that really reveals the differences in thinking is the Uniforms.

Japan seems to be doing great

JGSF BDU tops have over sized ALICE belts sewn across the back. And I could understand why once a translator told me, but when I told them why mine didn't it took them a while to understand

Their labour laws may not be good, but theyll deal with it. Many japanese guys are herbivors, that seems to be working out great for them.

and for japan as a whole

Well they do have a lot of seafood as their protein too

@Timcast making your own DID work everytime we did create a system that opposes censorship

Gab was not one of those

gab was centralised. you dont do that if you dont want censorship

we have blockchains such as steem. if soemone were to post CP or instructions on how to build a nuke (its actualy not that complicated if you understand the physics anyways tbh, just the refining of the material is the biggest bottleneck), it wont be removed.

It cant be

just like TOR and bitcoin, if we actualy try to create a free system, we succeed

in this case, this followed gabs insistance on their freedom of association and getting rid of loli. I shed no tears about that just becouse their provider agrees with them on that.
