  • Japan has never really reckoned with its past. They were just pacified.

    I judge the country as a whole for this, since they keep electing politicians who continue to do very little to reckon with their past.

    I feel a lot could be gained by apologising to the people and nations for the past, and nothing lost, other than nationalistic pride, bring forced into self reflection, and being genuinely sorry on behalf of the country.

    People who think they shouldn’t apologise because it wasn’t them personally are stupid, frankly, and standing in the way of reducing tensions.

    Will it fix everything in the region? No. Will it take some of the steam out of the war machine? Probably.












  • Luckily for you that’s the iso standard haha

    I wouldn’t mind if it could be kept on the same line, but I don’t believe there is a non-breaking hyphen in unicode.

    You can insert non-breaking hyphens into MS Office programs like word though. Very useful if you’re an engineer and writing out tags in reports all the time (and dislike when they get broken across lines).

    The actual print character is a normal hyphen, though.

    Thanks for reading my pedantic preferences haha
