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....
Most visitors do not spend the night in Fujikawaguchiko, preferring to come in for a day trip but stay in busier Tokyo – just 62 miles (100 kilometers) away – at night.
This means that there’s no money coming in – from entry tickets, museum passes, or hotel fees – to balance out the damage caused by thousands of visitors or the erosion, trash and traffic issues they bring with them. As a result, the town of just 10,000 people has struggled to cope.
The town is called (Mt) Fuji River Mouth Lake… feels like when they established the place they could’ve edited it down a bit to make it roll off the tongue better. It’d be like a town in the US called Shastaportsmouthpond
Links that open natively in Sync (like news articles) are often riddled with ads. Is there any way for the Sync shell to open through a Firefox based browser, which includes native ad block?...
Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....
The one value streaming services provide is subtitles in languages other than English. Unfortunately there aren’t enough pirates in a lot of countries to make foreign media viable.
Is the release group the name of the people who usually upload subs? How would I find that?
For example, I’ve been trying to find Japanese subs for the show American Horror Story, but the only way I know to look is to search for the title plus subs. But the only result that even comes close is the opensubs site, which doesn’t have much Japanese content.
I don’t think it’s hopeless-- her numbers are down overall since her first term:
Greene ran for re-election after winning a legal challenge to her eligibility based on her alleged involvement in organizing and promoting the 2021 United States Capitol attack, based on the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which bars people who have engaged in insurrection from serving in Congress. While Greene won by a comfortable margin, this was the worst showing ever by a Republican in the 14th district, and the best performance of a Democrat in this district, being the first time since the district was created that the Democrat received more than 28% of the vote.
So while a dem is never getting that seat, it could be an indication that she’s losing support overall from her base, who just might be tired of her shit and want a more competent republican to fuck them over instead. Most of the people she beat in the 2022 primaries sound at least a little more impressive than part time crossfit coach and conspiracy nutjob, so maybe someone else will have a chance in November.
GOP primary 2022:
Eric Cunningham, sales executive
James Haygood, farmer
Charles Lutin, physician and veteran
Jennifer Strahan, CEO of J. Osley & Co.
Seth Synstelien, educator
My introduction to lemmy was trying to argue with hexbears that N Korea propagandizes its citizens more than the US. Apparently I was wrong and dumb and N Korea is a really awesome place to live, despite none of the hexies moving there for some odd reason 🤔
I think there’s also a contingent that is anti US no matter what, so anyone against the US is good and whether they’re a dictator is a secondary concern.
I’ve only had it once and I don’t know what variety it was, but despite the smell it just tasted kinda like a honeydew. There was no bitterness or anything
I think they updated it at some point so stealth builds could be viable. Still a pretty big oversight for the devs to releases it initially without that consideration
I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I’m surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I’m prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I’m the only one.
