The advert, which claims that the company values honesty and direct communication, and “fosters a culture of respect and integrity” might as well have followed on with “THIS IS A TRICK” in bright-red 72-point font.

As such, it falls onto the other nations, our former allies and even our enemies to liberate us from this monster. We will not do so ourselves. And, unfortunately, in this era of apathy and aggression, we will likely see no such liberation. The collapse of the free world has begun. May it burn.

Don’t deceive yourself into thinking this will end with Venezuela. Don’t ever be deceived into thinking Americans will rise up and depose the dictator who leads us. We will not. We are fat, lazy, and desperate to make it to our next paycheck. We will take no such actions.

Whenever you see a white boomer or GenXer hope you realize that there’s an 86% chance (according to Gallup voting polls) that that person voted for this invasion of Venezuela. THEY have turned us into the villains of this planet. They are the real terrorists.

Bonus to the bonus: Just know that if you force me to “celebrate your holiday” I will hunt you down when the obscure holidays I celebrate roll around, and will force you under threat of torture to greet me in a manner to which *I* am accustomed. And I will not permit you the privilege of offense.

As an added bonus: No one owes you social or societal interaction. I don’t owe a stranger or acquaintance even a smile in response to “Merry Christmas.”

Nate @titantanknate.bsky.social · 25/12/2025
Just a reminder for the religious zealots, angsty, and societally conservative: Not everyone celebrates or even acknowledges Christmas. So, when you try to rope me into a contest for who can say “Merry CHRISTmas” the most, understand that I will refuse, and you should probably reign your neck in.

Wait… why? Why would any owner of a healthy business, especially one that supports a still-recovering community, CLOSE that business instead of selling it on or finding a successor? Hell, maybe even let it self-manage? This feels like a miss to me.

What. The. Fuck. I’m not even censoring my thoughts here- this is ignorance run a-fucking-mok. We can scarcely afford to allow such critical climatic, meteorological, geological, and atmospheric information to be trampled by ignorant beasts. This is the path that returns us to being primitives.

Galapagos Syndrome in full effect. Japan’s natural slowness to embrace new ideas, combined with cultural and political conservatism, deep-rooted xenophobia, and a high uncertainty avoidance make this sort of thing unfortunately the standard. This is why the electronics bubble burst for Japan.

It’s because you’re still using Twitter and giving folks an even 0.1% excuse to continue using that burning trash heap echo chamber. I’d say any problem you experience on there is just the expected equivalent of driving a car with flat tires and wondering why it makes funny noises on the highway.

I love your phraseology in saying “solution-shaped object.” It makes the engineer in me very satisfied. I can only imagine it is a matter of time before “unintentional and seemingly sufficient solution-shaped objects undergo rapid unscheduled disassembly.” a.k.a.: “how long until shit hits the fan”

I hope this consists of increasing support for foreign nationals doing their damndest to get along with the Japanese. As a potential future foreign national myself, I can only hope that they will recognize foreigners’ efforts to behave in a collectivist manner and reach out to meet them halfway.

THIS is the sort of news that needs to be seen more often. Outstanding work, let’s hope the momentum picks up and continues. The people of Japan (and everywhere) deserve better. :)

Despite my relatively confident grasp of machine logic, trig and calc, and programming I have to say that every time I see this machine my mind implodes. Just… crushingly incredible levels of ingenuity at work. To be fair, lots of today’s tech like that too, just less visible or massive I suppose!

I am actively and on the daily bullied and harassed at a workplace so large and so public about its “diversity and inclusion” efforts that everyone just universally assumes everything is perfect here. We are incredibly diverse and inclusive- when hiring. Once you’re here, you’re a target.

*sigh* Because screw any foreigner trying to make Japan their home while also putting their best into the country. This isn’t the way, Japan. Hurting innocent people who care about contributing to your nation is not the way.

It strikes me as horrifying that the fear and obeisance the Japanese have towards the US is so incredibly strong that they are willing to push a conservative narrative, not even because their people demand it, but because they believe the US will give them preferential treatment. It won’t.

I will say- if you want to really try at the Genshin roles then consider watching some story summaries or play the game’s main quest line. Some of the emotional delivery is extremely challenging. Several quests in the game are famous for extraordinarily convincing, emotional acting. ^_*

I would strongly recommend looking into the MihoYo properties for practice and to express work interest. MiHoYo has taken YouTubers as voice actors multiple times, and the stories they write are emotionally charged and well-localized. It’s a great space to really get into a role. You’d be perfect!

Nate @titantanknate.bsky.social · 29/10/2025
Oh! If you’re willing to try, I can give you a slate of characters with wildly different personalities and voicing to try: Zongli: Regal, calm, soothing Kazuha: Ambitious, analytical, poetic Dottore: Selfish, driven, megalomaniacal Neuvilette: Dispassionate, deep thinker

Nate @titantanknate.bsky.social · 28/10/2025
Duuuuuuuuuude that was genuinely tragic and wonderful voice acting. I’d love to hear your take on some Genshin stuff. You’d be an amazing fit for some of those characters. <3

Well it looks like she’s going to be very good at kowtowing to dictators. So that bodes well. Also good to know she has no moral convictions besides sharing extreme right-wing sentiment with crazed megalomaniacs.

THIS is the take that matters. Breaking through a glass ceiling is step one. Building a stairway and a ramp for those behind you to follow is the next. Sadly, enablers are seldom worshipped, so enabling isn’t seen as politically motivating.

AI is thievery by any other name. It is a form of capitalist self-indulgence and conservative self-aggrandizement. AI is an attempt to, on the surface, bring about equality. It is, in reality, a wedge driven between all. Understand: if you use AI, you’re dead to me. You’re a coward and a thief.

Nate @titantanknate.bsky.social · 10/10/2025
Let me just make it absolutely, unequivocally known: I do not support those who use AI. I consider AI to be the greatest single technological threat to civilization since the atom bomb. Its power to destroy, its power to deceive, its power in general will never be used to benefit mankind.

I love that, despite the scope and scale of my employer, I still have to post things like this just to have folks behave in an adult, reasonable way. Yet, I could signpost my face and neurotypicals would STILL force me into uncomfortable interactions and then put ME down for not being social. #ASD

Reading headlines like this sends me into this weird downward spiral of disbelief. As if, somehow, the last 40 years of climate research has somehow been a fever dream from which we woke up only to recently discover we weren’t really dreaming. What a timeline. :/

100% agreed. I don’t understand why my willingness to obey the law should be punished with dangerous driving whilst the dangerous drivers should get off Scot-free and able to come home to their PCs to complain on Reddit about “slow” drivers when in reality they just don’t have good time management.
