In Japan, the conviction rate when something goes to trial is 99%. The main reason for this is that prosecutors will never bring a case to trial if they are not 100% sure they can win it. This of course has a lot of problems, from difficult to prove crimes like rape never going to trial, to the presumption of innocence when you sit in front of the judge being practically nil, to prosecutors doing everything in their power to convict after a trial starts even if it turns out they were wrong (even by withholding evidence).

Those are the reasons “innocent until proven guilty” is such an important concept to have, and it’s completely incompatible with assuming “the accused is more often than not guilty”

This is kind of what I had in mind when I first heard of the “gig economy”. But it turns out that’s just job market enshittification…

Like the time Indiana legislatively redefined pi to be exactly 3.2?

Looks like this in the end basically. They just reverse engineer the price so the tax gets it to the target price.

In the EU prices have to already include tax, so steam prices are exactly what it costs at checkout

Same here but with a 100. Had to spam click on payment but it went through after a couple of tries

I don’t understand what problem you are referring to, all that already works on the old steam controller. It has Bluetooth mode

Exactly. So many opinions of people that have clearly never really used the previous steam controller flying around. It’s a repeat of when that one came out and reviewers panned it because they didn’t understand what it could do

Weird, I see no mention of this “US”, how are we supposed to know?

It was hard at first. Now I’m about 600 kanji in, and while they are still hard they are starting to make sense. New ones are quite a lot easier than before because of pattern recognition, and I’m even able to sometimes guess reading/meaning. It has also massively improved my learning, I had always heard that it wasn’t necessary nowadays, and I’ve been studying on off for a long time now, but the difference on this last cycle is massive

They always forget the pink triangles when talking about the Holocaust

Just for your information, it only works in combination with suppressing Testosterone. as long as testosterone is present in high levels it will come back

How is this a joke? Am I the only one that doesn’t get Trump’s “jokes”? To me it just looks like a demented idiot with a foot in his mouth

DRG as a roguelite? You son of a bitch, I’m in

Damn, that’s some long ass effects, you still seem to be having a stroke

The bases and American soldiers are pretty much hated in Spain. We didn’t even want to be in NATO in the first place, and US international policy is deeply unpopular here.

I really hope this whole situation causes us to finally kick them out. The US is not an ally, wasn’t one ever either (except during the dictatorship of Franco, not a popular time), and we should stop dancing to its warmongering music

That’s not really true, in Japan claw machines use the same variable strength bullshit that happens in the US. They are explicitly classified as gambling under Japanese law.

What’s with people not knowing they are different? Not the first time I’m seeing this

Thanks, I’ll try with sakurajima.moe and see how it goes.

Thanks, I guess I have to find some Japanese accounts to follow and see how mbin takes care of it. Will also try to open an account while over there to see if it still works when back home
