The first commercial fax machines appeared in Japan in the 1970s and quickly spread across homes and offices in the 1980s. They became a staple in Japanese communication, especially in small businesses. Part of the reason for their popularity was the complexity of written Japanese, which made handwritten or printed documents preferable to early digital text formats that couldn’t handle kanji well.
according to the source, 90% of government offices still require faxed documents, interesting.
i dunno the veracity tho, as the article goes into other reasons but speaks to less concrete things like "tradition" and "rigidity" and felt a bit orientalist... anyway i think the hypothesis that technological limits of the day against the complexity of kanji is an interesting reason of their adoption to think on.
im surely just exposing my ignorance, but why is this technicality important? isn't magnetism inherent to electricity anyway? wouldn't they react the same because they are the same? like, electricity runs thru a wire but also creates a field around the wire, the wire doesn't contain electricity so much as direct it, yeah? from its creation by a conductor spinning around a ferrous metal somewhere?

back when the media was all in on millennial-bashing i found it most interesting how many people were repeating the nonsense without even knowing what the millennial age range was.
propaganda is fascinating to me. i really respect the art that goes into it. why it's so successful at control. watching it work on others has helped me see the cases when it's worked on me too, and make me wonder what 'truth' i hold will turn out to be a brainworm to shed next.
man i can't wait for election season! that special time when libs forget recent history and come screaming in here tryina get commies to vote for the ghoul the DNC told them they wanted. ahhh i can't wait to reread their same bad arguments and passe-passive aggressiveness! ooooh I'm getting excited
you're missing an important piece, you may still have some propaganda stick on ya. no shame, we're all shaped by it until we break out.
the troops = bad because they kill for a country that oppresses the entire world. OP isn't advocating to reinvent the soldier cuz you don't replace the troops, you replace the system that makes them "necessary".
problem is, see, that capitalism requires an oppressed minority to function, and the United States uses its military to create and maintain that minority, that 'global South'.
uhhh trigger warning (lol). i know you're joking buuut there's this blowhard who frequents my workplace who makes this very argument every. every. time there's snow on the the ground.
he's nice enough to me so i feel a bit guilty for imagining him sliding off the road like O'Doyles from Billy Madison. oh dear do i be hatin him so much yes
i gotta ask momma but I'm pretty sure superior is where my great-grandpa rests. he didn't die in this wreck but another one. he was a merchant Marine, and if i remember the story right, when his ship sank there was one survivor
if you haven't, see if piriformis exercises help you. as youre working out, could be the larger muscles surrounding the piriformis are pullin at and cause sharp pain around the tailbone and top of the buttocks. as the pain came to you on rest, it could be your hammys pulling your piri.
just throwing my personal experience out there in case it is helpful. good news is if it's that lil muscle the excercise to help is mega-easy
huh, faxes? got me curious and:
