I get European as a status symbol but thinking any American products as a show of wealth and class baffles me. Maybe I’m just old, but I associate American goods with ruggedness, cool, or cheap.

I suppose I could do that too with my JCB, but it would take ages to get anything done since the card isn’t very big or durable!


According to a person in another thread, they’ve had 45 so far in 2026, so I think it’s actually like one a day. That’s crazy.


Seriously, I don’t mean to sound holier than thou, but the US has a mass shooting like every other day. There’s just simply no contest.


Nice. We have JCB in Japan but I think it piggybacks off VISA/Mastercard for overseas transactions. It’d be cool if it partnered up with a European counterpart for purchases made in the EU.


Thank you! Your username is hilarious, by the way.


When people say “servers” on Matrix, they mean like an “instance” of Lemmy, right? Not a “server,” the way it’s used in Discord. I’m rather new to this federation thing and I keep getting confused because some services use different terms (e.g. Peertube uses “platform,” I think).

I think they’re collectively known as ドンパンズ (Donpans) but then went pro under the name ぼんおとり娘 (Bon’odori Musume).
I don’t get new issues all the time like op says, but I do have a few nagging issues that I’m too lazy to fix.


Probably. All of evil billionaires just suck the dick that pays.


I dunno why you’re getting down voted. As an Okinawan, I mostly agree with your point.


Would not have, btw.


Ugh. I’m going to vote now but it kills me to think that my vote won’t really change anything to prevent this. At least I’ll bring my kids to show them how it all works.


I had to Google. There’s no way I would have known that, my bad!


This makes no sense lol
i don’t know how sensitive that info is but I’d be scared to use AI for something like a list of users.
