thejapantimes, to Japan

Japan has politely handled travelers for years, but as international visitors spill into previously untouristed spots, some residents are frustrated. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/06/08/japan/society/japan-overtourism-stress/

curmudgeonaf,

@thejapantimes Isn’t it terrible how everyone loves us, is interested in our culture, and wants to give us money

thejapantimes, to pakistan

It was always going to take something big to make Americans pay any attention to cricket, and the United States' stunning victory over established power Pakistan on Thursday provided just that moment. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/06/07/more-sports/usa-pakistan-cricket-win/ #moresports #twenty20worldcup #unitedstates #pakistan #icc

curmudgeonaf,

@thejapantimes The majority is Americans still don’t care about football / soccer, despite constant promotion of the sport. They sure as hell aren’t going to care about cricket any time soon. India and Pakistan can have it.

DejahEntendu, to books

Blood in the Machine by Brian Merchant

This has been an absolutely fascinating book to read and is perhaps the most important book I'll read all year. Merchant is spot on with his commentary about the parallels between the first Industrial Revolution and now. We have not learned a thing about protecting our populations and economies from mass unemployment during technological upheaval.

curmudgeonaf,

@DejahEntendu @bookstodon I am personally one of those expensive North Americans, who got capitalism-ed out of his corporate job. (Along with most of my former NA coworkers)

curmudgeonaf,

@DejahEntendu @bookstodon I’m looking for a new job at the moment. I’m wondering if it’s harmful to have a resume with lots of experience nowadays. Traditionally, experience was valuable, but perhaps nowadays, it just makes you seem expensive. They could pay younger, dumber people less.
