The thing is that it was totally novel and in Japanese news on international affairs especially unprecedented, virtually everything was sanewashed in the past, so it’s not surprising that media and diplomatic officials in Japan were shocked and taken aback in the first couple years.

Since 2015 Japanese translators have had so much trouble figuring out what he’s saying. In the first presidency, his boisterous rhetoric filled with exaggerations was hard to put in words that would sound befitting to a leader, and not be mistaken as the translators making fun of him. In more recent years, it’s his frequent repetition, primitive words and even more frequent derailing into word salad tangents that he can barely finish a coherent thought that is the challenge for translators.

For years they’ve pretty much given up and cut it to a 2 sentence summary each time at best. Recent example article in Japanese Recent example video

Multi-millionaires, billionaires and corporations got their many $5k cheques in the mail already through tax breaks. You missed out, average American? How come you aren’t richer?

And there will be flying bicycles, not cars, but bicycles by 2029.

If you are a billionaire tech CEO, US newsmedia will uncritically quote this verbatim.

More whinging from a government full of losers.

Sorry I misread. I wonder is poptalk scrubbles is still active? Whatever you consider small I’m not really setting a strict standard

Many people had good suggestions

here were some of my favourites

If I had a broken and uncontrollable vacuum in my house, I would switch it off and unplug it. Just saying, Republicans…

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

I refuse to ignore you! You’re doing great, keep it up!

That piece of information seems like key context. 1Password didn’t just give money simply because they like the product. More or less, it’s product placement in return for funding.

I’m on the fence if that’s better or worse.

For sure. There’s no specific way you have to track your progress for it to count.

You can ask the account @remindme@mstdn.social. not sure if it can handle a Linux epoch time that far out in the future.

I’m not entirely certain. What I have tried is ordering custom massive hot balls of plasma in space for everyone, but I’ve learned the waitlist is a few billion years long.

How about… Copilot Microsoft Copilot Office365 Copilot Outlook (new) (Copilot web)?

1 person using this software will count as 4 Copilot users in investor metrics, of course.

Maybe the problem was with the wording all along. Republicans might be able to get behind an American Prosperity Fee (on wealth).

LiveThreadBot@sopuli.xyz did provide live scores for me during the FIFA World Cup. I did try to come out and comment on a couple threads. So a score of 1.1 out of 2 on this criteria?

Basically what Sawant is saying:

Uh oh… Mamdani’s endorsement of Jeffries totally means he’s in bed with AIPAC, Netanyahu and the IDF. Time to base our entire opinion of Mamdani on this single unproven link, forget every other policy position he holds or has ever held, cut all ties and disappear into irrelevance…
