Japanese are the only ones that really fit that old stereotype. And they all got old and quit fucking and having babies. Too many old people there for much innovation. Not to mention the shitty lifetime employment system.

I think you're confusing nips with all Asians. Anyways nips have a "It's good enough" mentality and are afraid of change. These two things drive them to still use flip phones/used iPhones. Japan is probably one of the most overrated country in the world, they're actually an island of old timers and people generally afraid of change. They literally still use fax machines and Microsoft office 2000.

Eh, they're getting pretty old hat compared to Western Porn.
Plus they've toned it down a bit due to censorship laws.

See, whilst Japan is making fake porn gameshows, the West is making actual porn game shows.
Their anal market is barely tapped, but this morning I watched a girl shove a cupcake up her arse, take a creampie in it, shit out the cupcake and eat it.
Where they are still ahead is their Gokkun genre, which is reaching new heights (girls swallowing literally hundreds of loads) and a few of their fantasy genres have their gems (stop time movies are great).

But, their industry is still in decline and more and more things are being censored/removed from the industry.
Glory Quest has even stopped producing beast films and I don't even remeber the last incest film they released.

Sad times.

The problem is the youth are all NEETs. They call them "grass eaters." They don't want to work 70 hours a week for the same company all their life. They are not interested in dating, marriage and sex.
They take very good care of the old people. This cost is placed on an ever shrinking youth population.
Cheap Asian manufacturers decimated the Japanese industry.
All these factors have directly contributed to a decade long era of economic stagnation.

I know Japan stopped innovating and started heavily focusing on preserving cultural shit thanks to the old-shits running everything.

The young are still trying. I remember back in 2011 /a/ and /g/ got an influx of Japs trying to build gaming PC.

Shit is so bad that if you want a modern home you better live on the outskirts of town or in a rural area, otherwise you can expect to live in some shack jammed between two building or a shitty apartment that was built 3 or 4 decades ago.

Japan is old and busted, South Korea is the new hotness.

Not him - yes it is futile, but unlike pure nihilism, hedonism is actually fun, and makes me wanna live past 30 until i'm 35 at least, whereas without my hedonism, I would've fucking killed myself 5 yers ago at least. I'll 100% definitely kill myself, just not yet. Isn't that kind of an achievement,and positive for a worldview so misunderstood and viewed negatively?

The NEETs are not the problem. Surprisingly the NEETs contribute more to spending than the average Jap family combined. Them Blu-rays, games, and figures are not cheap.

But I will agree with everything else you've said. The youth don't want the same stuff their elders did. They don't want to be locked down with kids, forced to marry because their family said too, or work long hours like their parents did. They want change and modern culture, but with everything stacked against them it's kinda impossible to transition now.

Protip from someone who used to live in Munich: Don't.

Unless you like paying 1000€ for a barely 35 sqm apartment and like to come across 100+ muslims every day.

I moved out 2 years after I finished university there. I still work in Munich but I just take the S Bahn to and from my comfy village where I have a 90 sqm row house for pretty much the same price as the sardine can apartment I used to live in and we actually have fiber internet from a local company.

In the middle of Munich you only get jewed by the cable company or by shitty DSL from Telekom if you don't get cable (which happens)
But M net is getting better coverage, that is a plus.

not just 70 hours a week, its also ungodly amounts of expected unpaid overtime. as for the marriage and sex, you have diseases that took hold in japan, under age girls able to use cops as pimps (they don't get arrested for selling themselves till they are over 18) and women more and more becoming useless materialistic cunts. not to mention that in japan the tradition is give the wife all your money, and she gives you an allowance.

who in their right mind would want to deal with that.

also, because the whole system is set up to always follow your superiors/elders, even if someone young and knows damn well they are making a mistake will still go that mistake way to not upset the boss and get fired.

japan has a fuckload of cultural issues that have created a generation of people who gave up on the world.

As a married man, this is the truth.

Women will drop hundreds at a whim and then wonder where the money went.
They literally can not buy something without "browsing".

My wife will go out to buy a bottle opener and will return having spent half a grand.

Divorce and hookers are starting to look like a cheaper option - but any decent hooker won't let me nut in her ass, so the wife does have some redeeming features.

W-w-wanna commit suicide together?

Or without doing something a fun things first. Just to make sure they REALLY want to kill themselves, even after they had a blast doing something enjoyable. Then, if they still insist, their buddy shall oversee the whole thing, advise them well so they don't wake up being a cripple or something, that's just terrible. Or maybe they might even want to join in and kill themselves too! That's in the cards too.
I mean, sure, we can make out if you insist, unless you're cave-troll hideous, but I kinda need a suicide buddy first.

Google had to be aggressive in taking over the smartphone market, which led to Android being stupidly permissive and full of holes; apps can do whatever the fuck they want in it. Security updates are not supplied by Google but by the makers of the phone, who have no reason to update phone software in any way because they'd rather have you buy their newest phone instead.

So you have a godawful broken system with an extremely inefficient update system.

The only single reason why you haven't had a Blaster Worm equivalent bricking all Android phones worldwide, is because it is more profitable to quietly own all those phones than to destroy them as a prank.

We need an insider on 2chan to answer this question.

>>55500197
Not even comparable. It's not practical to install apps without using administrator privilege on XP so, practically, apps have full system control. If the app installer has admin privileges, the app does too for most intents.
>>
>>55500296
>It's not practical to install apps without using administrator privilege on XP so, practically, apps have full system control.

Yeah, because they fucked it up so everybody is an administrator by default. If they had a model where all users get limited rights by default, then all programs would've come in a way so they work with that and don't have full system access.
Like how UAC made you prompt on every single program when it was introduced, yet today it never pops up except for diagnostic and legacy utilities.
>>
>>55500330
Even beyond your stupid argument about 'but XP has a permissions system and apps can be run in user mode', even if that were usefully true - XP has no system whatsoever that allows you to protect your actual user data from apps doing whatever they like.

Strikes me that educated first world country populations don't like the idea of working. No big surprise, given that we really don't have to with the way technology is progressing.

Urbanization would be the other issue. Everyone wants the lifestyle and amenities found in a city, but cities only have so much space and the scarcity drives up the cost. Even if you make more, you end up spending more or getting less. Or both. Having a family generally requires space and disposable income, effectively precluding large segments of the population from having two-or-more children... if they have children at all.

It's amazing how housing laws, and zoning rules in general, have kicked society's teeth in around the world.

Nah, supply and demand wins out and it seems that city-living is really just convenience, now. You can find just about everything you need in a semi-rural area but you might need to drive for a while to get to where they have everything.

That's probably as well why we're noticing a resurgence in local participation. People are taking more notice in their own communities and playing a more active role in local events and organizations. I read an article about a year ago predicting that the paradigm of governance with shift from most decisions made on a centralized national level with small regional input, to most decisions made regionally, tailoured to the area, with interpretations on federal jurisdiction applied where necessary.

It made a lot of points about how even massive corporations struggle to manage their employees across districts, and how centralized, local production agencies are going to take the role of providing services to outlying areas. You wouldn't use the federal police for small-town matters, and this analogy is growing more salient as it becomes more apparent different regions respond better to different leadership.

One thing you lose is more obscure things.
I visited LA recently, and I just walked into a shop and brought gunpla, and it was as cheap as online.

Meanwhile, if I drive to my hobby shop with gunpla, it's 3 times the price.

Sure I could just order online, but then I have to batch it for shipping, and I can't see the cool premade models by the store guys.
Plus the store guys will help you out with building.
When I was in new york, I went to an emacs meeting which was enjoyable.

Merchandise wise it doesn't matter, but it's cool to live near a city for obscure things like that + events. (Not necessarily in it.)

I'd say it's a bit more than convenience. The main issue with the suburbs and exurbs is that a lot of facilities are unsustainable without a large userbase and the roads can only handle so much traffic. Or, rather, people are only willing to drive so much. Main roads fill to capacity. Always. Build a thirty-lane highway on a main corridor and it'll fill eventually. Public transit is a great example as anything on a rail needs population density to make any sense whatsoever.

Back to my earlier point about zoning, one of our big issues is homogeneous zoning and building practices. In the US, pyramid zoning is king since Euclid v. Amherst. So, all of the houses are together, all of the apartments are together, the major stores are together, etc. To some degree, this makes sense, but the older traditional model where a main street would be commercial and the streets that branched off of it were residential was much better and localized. Housing above commercial spaces and add-on properties for lower-income renters in the nicer areas was another key feature. Overall, it made sure that people could live somewhere close to where they worked. The antithesis of this would probably be out in California where some communities have their workers driving two hours to get to work; this is not limited to just gardeners and other low-income laborers, but includes teachers and other educated professionals.

As far as returning to regionalized control, that's actually a major political element of the New Urbanism movement that's trying to recreate the old style of cities and towns for the modern era. If you're interested in this stuff, I'd direct you to look into Andres Duany. He's a new urbanist architect that's done lectures and presentations for decades on the subject. Many of them are on youtube.

You are right on a lot of things, but its not like someone got into a room and said this is how things are gonna be done from now on. You also ignore the detail of how and why things are like they are in the USA, largely due to race and segregation along with other factors all happening at the same time.

Mass migration of blacks and poor whites from the south to northern american cities.

Cheap homes outside of cities as well as cheap land and loans provided by the US government that were only available to whites.

Cheap transportation and continuing growth in GDP and income made it all a easy choice,

Blacks were concentrated in many american cities by design, a practice that is evident if you look at maps of some of these cities from the 50s and 60s.


What I think is even more interesting is how when things became "liberalized" or "equal", you had a even stronger white flight, concentrating poverty in some cities and towns, almost removing the entire tax base of that city and then asking the very poor to pay for the same services that city enjoyed. Then fast forward to today and you have the population of some of these suburbs on their retirement years not being able to afford the same sort of taxes they did or moving to other places, removing the tax bases for those same suburbs and/or the kids of the suburbanites literally gentrifying the entire county's cities because they don't want to live in the middle of nowhere. The end result is making the entirety of the USA fly over country, the only thing that keeps the country together with people living in rural areas are the subsidies offered by the government that make life in rural America as cheap as anywhere else.

Rural Americans do not pay full price for any and all utilities thanks to the Rural Utilities Act, and since they're poor they qualify for most welfare services.

Cities fund the ruralites.

After the US raped the shit out of Japan after WWII, Japan focused on the technology market in a desperate effort to recover their economy. They found a niche and exploited it wonderfully. Now that time is over. China pivoted from being only a manufacturer, to actually having Chinese companies design as well as manufacture their products. Japan lost their edge and the whole deal got a lot blurrier than it used to be.

The overtly part of history was racist, yes. However, I made no mention of race because it's an entirely different issue. Historically, mixed cities are rare; instead, you often end up with quartered cities where groups of people live "together" by living as separately as possible. My one argument on race is that if the prior social equity of the city had been maintained, where social groups of all classes intermingled on some level, that the transition away from segregation may have gone more smoothly than it did otherwise.

Think of white flight from suburbs - what was their reasoning? I have to get out before these colored folks ruin my property value. Why is property value so fragile? Because of homogeneous construction and a lack of innate value in most locations. These places don't have value, only the appearance of it.

>its not like someone got into a room and said this is how things are gonna be done from now on
And yet, in a way, people did; zoning laws had to change for suburbanization to become possible. The availability of cheap and easily-gotten (for whites, at least) home loans fueled the ability of people to buy these properties. Explicit decisions were made to create a market and to sustain it, even if the final product wasn't necessarily in mind.

10G isn't popular or widespread at all and that image looks fake.

You can however get pic related for like <$15 a month, completely unlimited of course. It's supposed to be 1Gbps, but this is more like real-world speeds. I can hit over 900Mbps late at night and sometimes when it's really busy it's more like 500Mbps, but for the price it's more than good enough to keep me happy.

You could say that about any city, I don't think you can decouple racism from urban/city planning in the USA simply because when you start peeling that onion apart it is part of every layer to its core.

I don't think you could have had a smooth transition away from segregation ever, and when you look back at it, it probably couldn't have happened any better.

> what was their reasoning? I have to get out before these colored folks ruin my property value.

I would wager in saying that... property values, were on the bottom of their concern list, be honest to yourself there, blacks were the muslims of the era this all took place in, the racism was institutional and that excused personal racism from actually being "personal". To quote the lady who moved to Blackjack, MO "I just don't want to live next to them". If you were right and it was only a matter of property values, then busing would have zero controversies.

>And yet, in a way, people did; zoning laws had to change for suburbanization to become possible.

You're right, but the effort was not national, there was that episode with George Romney where he was wanting to pull FHA funding to the state of Maryland for their practices of segregation after the civil rights act was passed and then Nixon gave him the boot. It was just, allowed to happen more than it was organized, I guess you could say it was grass roots, rooted in institutional racism.

First you are likely thinking of Japan, not all of Asia. Learn the difference.

Second there are many reasons however the focus on social and marital development is an interesting angle that I have seen in similar discussions that were much deeper.

The summery was that while computers and tech was interesting, the people involved in the development were less sociable and had less children, basically nerds built the cool tech stuff. However the culture strongly disinsensitives these traits, the results were the few who maintained them were in very high demand as silent superstars and everyone else was not bothering with new development because of the social stigma.

It is like if everyone loved Companies X's products, but no one wanted to be caught working there because only losers work there, despite how much money they make. After a while Company X would basically be stuck in the past as they lacked resources for new development, not because of the lack of money but the lack of good people in with those skills.

Hungary are headed towards dictatorship. Also they are a smaller country with a smaller population, so the future economic potential is not that great. Sure, they have a headstart compared to Romania since they have been closer to the West and had closer ties with the USA. But times have changed since then, now their leader is pretty much their own version of Lukashenko.

My prognosis is that Romania will become a developed country once the old generations croak, since there will be fewer payments made to retired people, who don't produce anything. It will be a developed country but with a smaller population than now.

Just wait for the old folks and the peasants to croak and Romania will start developing like a Western country.

Real talk, writing Japanese on a flip phone is basically a miracle when you're dealing with such a (relatively) confusing writing system modern Japanese smartphone keyboards emulate the same 3x4 button layout but tactile feels much better. Also Japanese flip phones are and were a lot more sophisticated than western ones so they weren't THAT outdated. However I think modern smartphones (especially iPhones) have been the norm since 2013 or something. It's mostly older people nowadays who own fliphones.
