But then they spend a week to a month on the problem from planning to execution to results. And then it’s over. And the questions don’t always really get answered and the long terms results are never updated or clarified. I can’t really expect them to totally live by all these lifestyle changes, but I would love to see how these changes pan out for people in the long therm.

It is requiring the Chinese parent company to sell TikTok or risk a ban. Facebook is not tied strongly to China or CCP as far as I am aware.
Thank you for correcting my stats, you are right about that!

The sun in Japan feels much stronger than it does in the US for some reason. But the festivals and fireworks shows are in full swing. Everyone walking around at night in yukata is so magical to me.

Osaka offers very little that Tokyo doesn't have. Since you are disinterested in night life, there is no problem going to Kyoto and visiting Osaka for a day (or half a day) it's only 45 minutes away. There are parts of Kyoto where tourists concentrate, but if you go to less popular areas there are plenty of quiet and peaceful things to do and see.
If you decide to stay in Kyoto, I don't recommend staying by Kyoto station. Even though you may have a JR Rail pass and Kyoto station is the best place to access JR lines, the station is on the southern edge and there's just not much around it except the most touristy kinds of restaurants. Try to stay north of Gojodori and south of Oikedori to be very centrally located.

According to a Pew Research study,
43% of US adults say they regularly get their news from TikTok, compared to 38% on Reddit14% of US adults say they regularly get their news from TikTok, compared to 8% on Reddit. A study from Rutgers found it significantly harder to find content regarding sensitive topics in China like HK protests, Tibet, Tiananmen Square compared to other social media platforms indicating that the platform is influenced to some degree by CCP's interests. The mental health impact of social media is becoming more and more apparent and it so it's natural that if American children are grow up on a drip of mentally conditioning social media, Americans want to know what's in the formula. -
Comment on 'Oppenheimer' lands seven Oscars including Best Picture in ~movies
mayonuki Link ParentOppenheimer definitely did not have this affect on me. To be fair, I had almost no personal interest in the story of Oppenheimer or the development of the atomic bomb. I will give the movie credit...“Holy shit, what did I just see?"
Oppenheimer definitely did not have this affect on me. To be fair, I had almost no personal interest in the story of Oppenheimer or the development of the atomic bomb. I will give the movie credit for keeping me interested for the entire runtime. However, to me the intrigue relied so much on Nolan’s style. I guess that’s a good thing about how the movie was made, but because of that, the long term and even short term impact of the movie was pretty hollow for me. It was a spectacle with that didn’t say much to me. One of the main reasons I wasn’t interested in seeing this movie was because I have thought a lot about the development and use of nuclear bombs throughout my life. To make a movie about something so heavy with marketing and all that seemed somewhat inadequate or inappropriate to me.
When I compare it to other movies I saw this year that felt so unique and stayed in my head for a long time—-Poor Things, The Holdovers, Godzilla Minus One, Koreeda’s Monster, The Boy and the Heron, Barbie—-Oppenheimer felt so generic and unmemorable.

Is archiving really expensive considering the cost of producing a study? What is the DOI process and why can’t the authors of all the DOId papers be contacted and requested for uploading to archivist channels?
