Japan's population falls for a 15th year with record low births and record high deaths
  • I mean, I immigrated to Japan fairly easily. If you have a university degree and speak good English, there are visas to be had. IT as well. I do find I have a tougher time since I came over in my 30s, compared to the younger people coming here.

  • gross. Also, the reason people aren't having kids isn't due to a lack of people fucking, despite what some articles may say; it's entirely related to societal issues that need complex fixes. That said, three of my friends have had kids in the last couple years.

  • Young voters are moving toward Harris and feeling less ‘meh’ about voting
  • Kinda. In the two-party first-past-the-post system, they were still not convinced they should vote which could actively make their futures worse. Knowing why that alone wasn't a motivating factor (unless this is all people who want to vote AGAINST Harris (which I highly doubt)) is definitely worth exploring.

  • Religion brings depression and loneliness and stupidity
  • A lot of it seems to be "third spaces" (or maybe it's "places"?) going away; it went from work, home, and [church, moose, lions, whatever] to mostly just work and home (or work and work and home) for many and this had a lot of negative impacts, I think.

  • In his attacks on the ‘childless’ left, JD Vance once hyped a plan to give parents more votes
  • I 100% agree with this.

    Some of those same reasons are the reasons voter ID laws as often implemented (i.e. without anyway to ensure that everyone is actually able to get an ID given that it takes documents, time, and money that not everyone can spare) can negatively impact the same portions of the population as well.

  • If there was a new Anarchists Cookbook like what was back in the 90s came out today what would be inside?
  • A lot is still relevant, I think. Additions would probably be on facial-recognition-avoidance and perhaps avoiding surveillance more broadly. As opposed to phone phreaking and other telco stuff, probably more internet and programming-focused things would exist.

  • I've taken and passed practice tests before. A lot of Americans who may be down-voting may remember things like Jim Crow laws and how tests were widely used to disenfranchise voters, particularly non-white or otherwise "the wrong kind of" voters, in the past and it still leaves a bad taste.

  • How are Mexicans Restaurants Europe?
  • In Japan, there are a couple of chains that exist and smaller restaurants (basically all in the areas where foreigners are and moreso near US militar bases). "Taco rice" is a local take that is basically taco ingredients served over rice instead of in a taco shell. Almost all of the places are adjusted to Japanese tastes by default, so a lot lower on the spice. Lots of foreigners living here end up going to one of a couple of places (two of which are basically Chipotle knock-offs for however "Mexican" you might consider that) or giving up and making their own. We did get Taco Bell a few years ago (again "Mexican") which has a more limited menu. I wasn't impressed, but I never cared for US Taco Bell, either, but it had lines lasting hours the first days/weeks it was open.

  • Lemmings of Lemmy who came over from Reddit what do you miss about Reddit and what do you not miss?
  • The only thing I still go to reddit for are the communities based on living in Japan and financial stuff in Japan. They never wanted to move over and have super useful info by people living here for decades that really help visa, legal, and financial issues.
