I mean, none of what you said really changes what I said. There is nothing comparable to the way that the Japanese country and leadership treats the Comfort women issue, and the way that the US, country and leadership treats the Bomb.

I don’t care about the facts regarding the bomb and I’m not referring to any specific…

You show me where anyone was talking about atomic bombs before you forced it into the conversation. I’ve been tolerating your whataboutism for a few rounds, but I think it’s time to wrap it up.

Stop trying to compare bad things.  The topic was Japan’s war crimes, and if you wanna talk about how bad the bombs are, go…

> Even if I did though, it’s irrelevant, unless you really want to say that using a devastating weapon in times of war and government-sponsored sexual slavery should be compared in the same light. 

Let me repeat myself because you didn’t respond to any of my statements at all. I’m aware of people who share your perspective and I’d reply with the same:

So you’re saying that this argument is invalid because the company tweeted about being engaged in a religious tradition.

The company.

Religion.

Through Tweets.

In the context of companies, tweeting about these things is a little weird, but not completely out of the ordinary. That said, for an international audience that includes China and Korea, they might want to put it into context, though frankly, that context isn’t exactly okay - i.e. it’s kinda weird/unwise for…

Okay, sure, and that’s it’s own political thing, but here’s a fun game:

Who are some of the war criminals buried in Arlington?

I won’t blame you if you have to look it up, because those people aren’t celebrated. Arlington cemetery is a place of loss, and pointedly, a difference between Arlington and Yasukuni is that…

>based on human life cost estimates that were completely retroactively falsified after the fact,

Citation needed, but let’s pretend you’re perfectly correct. You think in the context of the war, the US would rather spend the human lives needed and not consider using the bomb that they spent so many resources on to…

The US does not try to downplay the size, scope or horror of what happened. They don’t try to manipulate opinion with regard facts about the bomb. Korea and China do not believe this is true about the current leaders of Japan and how they deal with facts about the war.

Furthermore, I think government-sponsored sexual sl…

One aspect of forgiving is the erring party indicating condemnation of such actions so that they are never repeated.

Honestly, the way that Japan politically presents itself [not saying that it necessarily reflects on the populous], I do not have faith that Japan will never repeat it’s past crimes. Apologies, when…

Are you serious, right now?

If a company decides to make the point of tweeting out that they decided to have lunch in front of Jefferson Davis’ Statue, that’s not for us to try to understand the situation, that’s on the company to provide the context.

It just as well could be a one off-arbitrary luncheon, but, unless…

Things like idioms, connotations and politeness levels will decidedly not be a straight-forward translation from any language to another.

Especially when you start learning and speaking in another language and hear people speaking in English as a second language, you start to learn how many idiomatic expressions, or…

Honestly, especially for complex games, I think it best for someone who better-understands the context to give a review.
A good example are the grand strategy games made by Paradox Interactive. Even for fans of similar grand strategy games [Total War, Civ] might be thrown off by Hearts of Iron or Europa Universalis.…

For what it’s worth, there’s almost no prediction that’s required.

Lion [or any other hero with hex] can be ordered to cast hex and he will move toward the target, instantly casting hex on the target [the spell is cast instantly.]

For a quick and ez answer [as an Asian person - I got minimal skin in the game] The context is never the same.

Hopefully you understand the Black repurposing of the n-word, and it’s hateful history, but let’s explain what I mean about context.

When a black musician puts the n-word in a song, it’s a reflection of shared…

It isn’t true. Butchers and hunters know that a quick death is best seeing as adrenaline ruins the taste of meat.

But don’t take my word for it:

On the other hand, I or my kids are MUCH more likely to grope someone or make out with two guys, than, say, disembowel someone. In a practical-actions sense, [depending on your interpretation of child psychology], it makes more sense to censor overt sexuality than violence.

Well, I think there’s a magic combination of the following factors that makes games of chance into gambling:
- Monetary cost and reward paired with risk
- Expectation for “Fun”, or incentivizing behavior
- Coercive/deceptive tactics
With this combination, we might be able to make a distinction between predatory…

Isn’t this significantly better than going into the phone store to do it or relying on advertising, which is what many, if not most, phone purchasers do?

I agree here. I think it’s also a bit easier to finnagle a secondary as a “Reminder” or “To-Do” chat/list/whathaveyou, so that it’s easier to mentally categorize which sort of messages go where - definitely using a secondary app makes things so much easier mentally categorize
