chatokun , to nottheonion in K-pop star apologises to angry fans for having a boyfriend

America too, if you look at the guy who ran boy bands like NSync.

chatokun , to worldnews in Births in Japan hit record low as government warns crisis at ‘critical state’

I’d say some of us weebs work etc, but all the ones I know who do simply like Anime and arent obsessed with getting an Asian waifu or husbando. In fact, most I associate with are in long stable relationships already, and I’ve seen no evidence the others have such a preference.

My family and I do want to visit Japan, and one of my sisters lived there. Another of my sisters lived in Korea, and she found dating hard there because none of the men wanted a serious relationship, they just thought a black American girl would be kinky. They’d tell her they still want to marry another Korean, because no one would want to have mixed babies. Iirc she told me they specifically used [nword]babies.

So personally I especially wouldn’t see myself living in such a racism country easily.

chatokun , to memes in Sorry if this is meta, but this coincidence was just too funny. I had to hold in my laughs while I was ordering a samosa.

Your name is Bani-chan but you don’t know what was probably rated as the top rated Anime for the longest time of the last 2 decades? (Well, at least in English speaking circles).

chatokun , to lemmyshitpost in All of the above

Yeah we do. Same with that police office yelling “I’m hit!” Over the acorn. I still see people who don’t have the context, and not everyone is as online as you or I. Pieces of shit don’t deserve to not be known as such, and not everyone gets the memo the first time.

chatokun , to technology in No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on

I have a terrible EV. Claims it has 80 miles of range but is really around 50 miles. A drive to work brings it down to 20%. The fast charge port is CHAdeMO, which at least around here is barely used, and even the electrify America places usually only have 1.

I still don’t want to switch back, I just want a better one with a more common port. I work from home except for the occasional mandatory in office stuff (one coming this Thurs and probably another next month). Most of the stuff I want to drive to is within a battery’s distance to go to and from. About the only thing that really sucks is vacations to visit family.

There is a legal concern about that so some IVF places are halting transporting across state lines while their lawyers review. People are making “trafficking” jokes already.

Timor more often than Hips don’t lie.

chatokun , to world in South Korean companies are offering workers $75,000 to have babies amid the country's desperate bid for more children

My sister lived in S Korea a few years ago, and keeps up on some stuff. She mentioned the feminist 4B movement. Quoting an article:

4B is shorthand for four Korean words that all start with bi-, or “no”: The first no, bihon, is the refusal of heterosexual marriage. Bichulsan is the refusal of childbirth, biyeonae is saying no to dating, and bisekseu is the rejection of heterosexual sexual relationships. It is both an ideological stance and a lifestyle, and many women I spoke to extend their boycott to nearly all the men in their lives, including distancing themselves from male friends.

So some of this might be the movement, which is against the patriarchal society Asian countries are famous for (and part of why so many weeb incels want Asian “submissive” wives). Has my respect too. Iirc some men have been violently attacking women over it, bur I can’t find a link in the limited time I have atm.

chatokun , to lemmyshitpost in Weekend with no plans

Are you still growing (teenager) or are very active or both? Calorie needs vary based on stuff like that, so if you’re discussing with people above 25 who are only mildly active they wouldn’t be able to burn away those calories as easily. Our base metabolic rate slows down too.

chatokun , to nostupidquestions in Why do people wear shoes inside the house?

I have two sets of indoor slippers, so don’t really wear shoes inside per say… though one of the slippers does close around feet somewhat like a shoe.

chatokun , to news in Alex Jones Estate Liquidation Gets Sandy Hook Families’ Vote

I have a freakishly large neck.

chatokun , to news in Schools say dress codes promote discipline, but many Black students see traces of racism

Oh they know. Discipline doesn’t mean punishment for wrong deeds, it means forceful changes in any behavior, concepts, or ideas that the one executing the discipline dislikes. Disrespecting your “betters” is always a part of this too. I got pulled over once because I passed a police office. He was going under the speed limit so u went the speed limit and passed him. His reason was not showing due respect.

Apologies, I was a bit tired yesterday and missed that.

chatokun , to world in Russia arrests US dual national over alleged $51 Ukrainian charity donation

As someone mentioned, I’ve only seen em at Aldi. Some dollar stores keep the carts inside with a pole ro prevent them exiting the store. I’ve mostly lived up and down the east coast (plus some young years in St Vincent and the Grenadines), plus visited a few big cities like Chicago, LA, Vegas. Aside from Aldi, I haven’t seen locked up shopping carts, even at places that have basically a second locked down section of the store for life necessary items like diapers, detergent, etc.

I’m only posting this to answer the question though, as the only thing I care about locked down carts is that I almost never carry quarters (mostly pay card, not cash, and for tolls I have a Peachpass).

The “Genocide Convention” defined it as “A crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, in whole or in part.” This excludes political groups.

So yes, many things more than simply killing counts as genocides. What slave owners in the US did to separate families and squash the previous culture of said slaves counts. Canada’s resident schools that tried to make indigenous people more like “normal” Canadians counts. Re-education camps count. What Israel is doing to Palestine counts, and the treatment of the Uyghur people also counts, among numerous other examples I didn’t mention, including very obvious ones.
