Like smoking, alcohol is a huge industry in Japan. It’s “normal” for Japanese companies to addict their employees to their products and because the companies ARE the government, they enact incredibly protectionist laws like this to prevent external competition.
Their economy depends on it. It’s super gross. Like America and guns, or Sweden and flatpak furniture (the last one is a half joke)
If Japan starts being a cannabis producer, they’ll 180 so fast you’ll get vertigo.
I will be a billionaire in ten years by solving climate change and rolling back the clock on all human damage to the earth!
Money pweeeeese
Yeah, It’s fucking France. People set fire to police cars because it’s Tuesday. This is not a big deal.
It’s the Guardian so you get what you expect. Inflammatory headlines for clicks.
Compared to what? JS? (/joke)
I think you mean Twitter.

Yes. That is how it works. It doesn’t take a genius to extrapolate these outcomes. It actually takes concerted effort through propaganda and misinformation to maintain the level of cognitive dissonance we have about it.
Oof. Coward.
That’s not what’s happening. These are authoritarian fascists being upset at slights against their Great Leader. Textbook behavior.
Very very very different than common context for “PC”
I mean… I hate to say but I’m in there too. All the horror and trauma in the world makes me more that way every day
Because everyone in America who has fuck you money (everyone, even that one rich person you like who says shit about Trump) benefit if Trump gets elected.
Every news network owner, every sports star selling sneakers, every rock star who flys a private jet, every CEO that benefits from slave labor, every single parasite in the country. They all win huge if he gets elected.
Republicans are dismantling every roadblock to them having even more money.
People talk a big game but in the end we’re all greedy selfish short sighted fucks.
Not that the Democrats don’t fuck people over… but they’ll at least buy us dinner and maybe use some lube.
You are right. They really live in a fantasy land.
When you own the people that make the laws. You are above the law. So yes. Trump could 100% get away with it. One of the few things he’s said that wasn’t a lie.
Well then why hasn’t he done it… I can’t think of something of a more positive interest than to dump trump down a hole.
Isn’t that just port then?
Lack of windows support
I think they do.
Edit:nope, and there are many much worse than Canada with Japan being the worst by a mile
Not the same philosophy, but also a very useful one. Would go hand in hand with OP
Maybe I’m misunderstanding… but are you saying GitHub, the corporate entity acquired by Microsoft for 7.8 billion dollars 6 years ago, is a champion of the free and open software movement and that needs some rando on the Internet to stand up for it?
People have lived through many cycles of Microsoft doing this shit. They don’t deserve defending.
One hundred percent.
