Unseen Japan

Host clubs in Japan have come under fire for pushing female customers into debt and, in some cases, prostitution. A proposed revision to the country's Entertainment Law would ban fake romances and punish hosts that receive sex business kickbacks.

I feel like in the last few weeks I have seen so many people say stuff like this. I think there is a consumer awakening to how bad things have got. We're at a breaking point.

www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgiv...

To be clear, I don’t believe that this gradual enshittification is part of some grand, Machiavellian long game by the tech companies, but rather the product of multiple consecutive decisions made in response to short-term financial needs. Even if it was, the result would be the same — people wouldn’t notice how bad things have gotten until it’s too late, or they might just assume that tech has always sucked, or they’re just personally incapable of using the tools that are increasingly fundamental to living in a modern world.

You are the victim of a con — one so pernicious that you’ve likely tuned it out despite the fact it’s part of almost every part of your life. It hurts everybody you know in different ways, and it hurts people more based on their socioeconomic status. It pokes and prods and twists millions of little parts of your life, and it’s everywhere, so you have to ignore it, because complaining about it feels futile, like complaining about the weather.

It isn’t. You’re battered by the Rot Economy, and a tech industry that has become so obsessed with growth that you, the paying customer, are a nuisance to be mitigated far more than a participant in an exchange of value. A death cult has taken over the markets, using software as a mechanism to extract value at scale in the pursuit of growth at the cost of user happiness.

These people want everything from you — to control every moment you spend working with them so that you may provide them with more ways to make money, even if doing so doesn’t involve you getting anything else in return. Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and a majority of tech platforms are at war with the user, and, in the absence of any kind of consistent standards or effective regulations, the entire tech ecosystem has followed suit. A kind of Coalition of the Willing of the worst players in hyper-growth tech capitalism.

The image is a six panel black and white comic. The first panel shows a young girl with messy hair looking around as a few notable memes from the early 2000's hover behind her, such as "keyboard cat" and "caramelldansen". The girl is saying "haha. Funny." In the second panel the same girl, slightly older now, looks around as more memes from the early 2010's slowly move past behind her, such as "nyan cat" and "doge" and other notable memes. She is saying "hehe" Panel three is zoomed out a bit more, showing more of the woman, now with even more memes from the late 2010's moving quickly behind her, significantly blurred. She is less enthusiastic now, saying only "hm". Panel four now shows her in the middle of the panel, bewildered as many memes from 2020-2024 whiz past behind her at a speed that has the images almost completely blurred. A second humanoid figure from the right leans in and says "Hey, have you seen that new meme?" Panel five shows a similar image, now with the girl looking around at the memes behind her in thought. In panel six she looks back to the figure to the right and simply utters "rizzler."

Important Jimmy update: he likes leaves.

He gets about 30-40 minutes of supervised outdoor time most mornings. The weather's been cruddy, but he doesn't let that spoil a good time.

I know I normally post Monster Hunter related stuff... but I'm a fashion hunter at heart. I love fashion.

Infinity Nikki has awesome fashion.

Nikki wearing a cropped black leather jacket over a red dress adorned with white lace.

She has her hair cut medium length at her neckline, in a strawberry blonde color. Her hair is adorned with a large black bow in the back.

She is wearing large square red framed glasses and heart shaped earings. She is also wear laced black fingerless arm gloves, and has a rectangular box like wicker basket "purse" featuring a ladybug emblem on the side, and a lacy top.

She is in a suprised pose leaning forward.

Nikki wearing the same outfit as the first image but she is in a pose protecting her eyes from the sun and she gazes onwards.

Nikki in the same outfit as the first image but we can see she is wearing dark leggings, and some plaid punky ankle high boots as well. She is in an elegant pose.

infinity nikki will let a girl explore an old cave in the middle of ancient ruins by herself while also looking like this and that kind of freedom of expression paired with the AAA gameplay and presentation to back it up is what always excited me. video games don’t do this at this level.
