New article and probably my most controversial one so far: The Culture War Is Fake.

>This is why gay kissing in children's stories is bad while normal romantic kissing is not, because children should be culturally encouraged towards matrimony and procreation.

This is especially the case because a lot of these children are still in their "boy are gross"/"girls are weird phase" so they might be more drawn to same sex attraction. Hell, I remember a lot of girls back in early elementary school hoping that they will be able to marry other girls because they thought that boys are too gross. I don't think a single one of them turned out to be a lesbian.

>both newbies and professionals
There's your problem right there. If it's designed for both newbies and professionals then they are going to stick with that language and not move on to anything else. That's why people are developing trying to develop professional software in languages like Python, JavaScript, and Java even if C/C++ are better choices.

We need to bring back BASIC. It's solely meant for educational purposes and nothing else. Nobody made professional software in it (maybe outside of a few video games, but those can be an exception). And everyone moved on to languages like C, C++, Pascal, and Assembly afterward.

@ryo @PonyPanda @SerfnUSA Fair enough. I don't even know most American celebrities either.

@ryo @PonyPanda @SerfnUSA What about Itoi's other works. He's a huge celebrity outside of video games.

@ryo @lanodan I think I learned that trick from Apple almost a decade ago. Another trick that I learned (which I don't know if it works anymore) is to make mailto links using onclick instead of href because apparently, most spam bots can't read JS.

@PonyPanda @SerfnUSA Yeah, but judging from the themes of Mother 3, I really think he's a commie or at least a socialist of some kind.

@lanodan It's great that we now have a RISC-V laptop but can they please make one without a webcam?

@PonyPanda @SerfnUSA In fact, I could probably get a Japanese fedi user like @ryo to verify that since they're more exposed to his works than we are.

@PonyPanda @SerfnUSA He's pretty left leaning. He participated in a lot of Japanese social justice causes during his young adult years. And if you go on his Twitter or his personal website he does post a lot of neo-left stuff like COVID vaccines and being pro-Ukraine.

WANT!
>Contact us for pricing
That means they only sell to certain people.

@SerfnUSA Because Itoi is a Japanese commie. Earthbound has a gay NPC (Tony) and Mother 3 is nothing but ancom commentary.

@Hyolobrika @sjw Pirate Radio stations are a thing. They used to be common before the Internet. Usually, they were on floating stations on international waters which allows them to bypass any government regulations.
