Try qView

For just viewing image files, qView is much nicer. It literally just opens images.

He is infamously eccentric. Maybe no-one ever set his talent aside for long enough to teach him manners. And it was probably too late to do that ages ago.

But he also has humanitarian ideas. Looking at the messages his movies convey, it’s clear to me he wishes people the best.

Yet he vilifies so much of the real world and the people in it. And it just feels like a refusal to even try to understand.

I know.

But that ain’t how you mentor someone.

And it’s not just his son.

The man denounces Lord of the Rings, and western culture in general:

(I am), anti-jeans, anti-bourbon, anti-burgers, anti-fried chicken, anti-cola, anti-American coffee, and anti-New York, anti-West Coast, Disneyland go back to America!

He’s known to feel disdain for people who embrace modern technology. He’s said people using touch-screens look like they are making “strange masturbation-like gestures”.

He’s admitted to getting “fed up” with seeing people read manga in public, even before smartphones existed.

The man seems incapable of giving constructive criticism, or just generally being pleasant. When commenting on the passing of Osamu Tezuka, the creator of Astro Boy and a formative figure for manga in general, he said:

I’m assuming there will be a loud chorus of other people mourning his passing, and I do not intend to add my voice to it.

He’s a genius. And obviously has profound thoughts and ideas about the world as the plot-lines of his movies illustrate.

But he also has a hateful streak which he doesn’t seem to even try controlling.

TBF he is a renowned asshole. He has publically called the work of his own son “an insult to life itself”.

Yeah, things aren’t clear-cut. There are several matters in which Japan is painfully behind, and being such a populus country you can find people with views across the board.

But a lax justice system isn’t one of them. In fact Japan almost certainly has a huge problem with ostracising and convicting the innocent. You might hear about people losing their jobs just for getting arrested, even if found innocent.

And while laws also definitely need improving, it’s happening.

The main problem with stuff like age of consent, is going to be communities and groups of people who are behind on these things, and thereby shielding individuals from justice by keeping the bad things happening out of earshot of society at large. Their justice system might be brutally ruthless, but that doesn’t help if it never finds out about the crime in the first place.

That’s a completely different conversion.

And you might want to check Japanese conviction rates before making assumptions. Their system is damn near “guilty until proven innocent”.

Now, whether such crimes actually get reported, is again, another, different conversation. There absolutely are vile predators over there, as a judge publicly commented he thought it was weird he could get arrested for banging a 14-year-old.

But the ensuing scandal is also the reason why that dude is no longer a judge, and why the national minimum finally got raised.

There isn’t one. They are repeating a technically kind-of-true funny ha-ha internet factoid.

The effective age of consent is higher, as prefectures all have local laws setting it to something sane, but people say it’s 13 because it was the old national minimum on record up until last year.

And that national law was literally from over a hundred years back, and was finally updated last year to raise the national minimum to 16. Still lower than the 18 in effect in places like Tokyo.

Not since last year, when it was raised to 16.

Even then that was the national minimum set over a hundred years ago.

In practice it’s 18 in most prefectures, and has been for years, due to local law setting it to something sane.

Good.

Shitty cyclists suck. I ride my own bike every day, and I can’t get over how often I see someone riding among pedestrians, (often along a road clear of cars, or worse yet, along an actual bike lane right there).

I must have shouted “the bike lane is literally right here” as I go past people like this over a hundred times in my life.

It’s obvius to me that hitting someone with my bike would be horrible, yet I see people riding them all the time like it’s the same as lightly jogging.

Doesn’t look like it is.

What.

The fuck.

That’s usually how it’s discussed.

From a certain perspective, it doesn’t matter whether a given soldier dies or is injured. Either way, it means a combatant was removed from the conflict.

As such, deaths and injuries are grouped together when discussing the “losses” of war.

What the fuck? Who deliberated on this?

Where. I keep reading it over and over and the only one I can find is someone derisively commenting on “the same way it applies to other streamers”.

Twitch guidelines are basically written in such a way that they can just freely do whatever they want and this “rule change” seems to continue in that spirit, singling out vtubers.

Yes, the model. Vtubers typically don’t show their real appearance. Some do, but some don’t.

vtubers are streamers or content creators that use a puppeted avatar, instead of camera feed of their real face/body.

Some avatars are quite risque, but this rule apparently only applies to the avatars, while the real stuff is still fair game.

No they don’t. The dev has to opt to use Valve CEG (custome executabke generation) for that to be included in the game files, and that is entirely optional.

On these games, you can do exactly what you suggest.

Here’s a list.

Heroic can actually do that too, now.
