The Japanese town of Fujikawaguchiko has erected a giant black net to block views of Mount Fuji, a reaction to the town’s huge popularity on Instagram and other social media platforms....
Fujikawaguchiko is just the official name, most refer to it as Kawaguchiko (this is the main train station there).
Not that unusual in English either, e.g. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Stratford-upon-Avon.
While certainly not the majority, feature phones (known as garakei) enjoy a cult following in Japan.
Bear in mind that feature phones in Japan were a literal decade ahead of smartphones in terms of features. They already had features such as GPS, email, internet browsers latest 90s and early 2000s.
I have good news for you! The income distribution of OnlyFans creators like many other platforms follows a power law, where the top 1% earn 33% of all revenue, and the average creator only earns $150-180 each month. Don’t think young women doing it tough are likely to be coerced by that.
Most of the high earners are those who already have an established audience, e.g. ex porn stars.

Microsoft is trying to restore Bing as the default search engine on users’ browsers by spinning it as a “repair” through a utility app called PC Manager....
Been a while since I experienced malware, but they typically forcibly change your browser’s default search engine to a shady one with more malware, even after you try to change it to something else. Even for somewhat tech savvy users, this can be somewhat difficult to overcome.
Sounds like Microsoft is somehow overriding this with Bing.
This only applies to discount brokers, all of which are licensed, regulated brokers.
You do, in fact, “own” the stocks you buy.
The internal plumbing of securities clearing, settlement, and registration is not a concern to retail investors.
Stop buying into juvenile conspiracies.
And if for some reason you are still not satisfied, you can always opt for a “full service” broker or ask to register the shares in your name, both of which are much more expensive.
People talk a lot about single payer healthcare, but some legal scholars propose a single payer judicial system. I.e. private lawyers are banned, and everyone must use publicly funded lawyers.
This would make prosecution accessible to the masses, and successfully defending not related to how much money you have.
Drag Queen Amanda Tori Meating has talked about her day job as a minimum wage Onlyfans writer. There’s an entire industry involving talent agencies representing low wage gig workers that pretend to be the model you’re paying $X per month to interact with.
My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones,...
The Galaxy S5 had flagship specs, SD card slot, 3.5mm jack, IP67 water resistance, and a removable battery via a durable polycarbonate (plastic) back cover, back in 2014, a whole decade ago.
It was roasted by reviewers for being made out of “non premium” materials.
When you become disillusioned with being a corporate slave, and decide with the help of your grandfather’s inheritance to exploit the natural resources of a tiny remote community, enslave a native race of spirit animals, stalk the locals and bribe them with gifts, push out an international competitor under the guise producing local “artisanal” goods, all for the purpose of expanding your huge vertically integrated agri business empire

A lot of the academics associated (formerly or currently) with Chicago Booth are highly respected as economists but highly conservative. As influential and famous they may be, their personal blogs and twitter account are yikes.
