Japanese because Kanji which is still used everywhere doesn't give information on how it's pronounced. Learning to read and especially write them is much more difficult than Spanish spelling rules. Same problem as the language Kanji came from, Chinese. Source: Chinese immigrant who's fluent in speaking Chinese but can't read it. Japanese does have an advantage over Chinese in that it actually has character sets that give pronunciation information though. Presumably you can at least just write in one of the two phonetic character sets and people will understand you okay but I'm not quite sure how the combination of character sets work in practice.

"Lower prices or draw 25"

I agree with the fenranyl answers. A far from trivial number of people have been exposed to it, mostly unintentionally from cross contamination or intentional lacing of other drugs. You don't plan on trying fentanyl until one day you do against your will. It's one of the most insidious substances we've seen.

This is why the more I think about it, the less I'm afraid of AGI. I mean, if the super basic non-thinking AI we have now, developed by capitalists and programmed to be loyal to the bourgeoisie, ends up like this.

Also, Chinese cities don't give a shit if you decorate the outside of your unit. HOAs do.

and it took your freedoms

Literally kind of term the Ferengi from Star Trek would use.

No, transportation in general is. Cars are by far the least efficient form of transportation and therefore the worst for the economy.

People who say driving is freedom have never lived within walking distance of the amenities they need. You think driving to Costco/Walmart is convenient? I've left the house 5 minutes before the grocery store closes. When I want to make a recipe, I don't check the fridge for what I have until literally right before I need to start making it because forgetting something adds at most 15 minutes to the prep time. I've never had to haul ten grocery bags from my car because I never need to buy that much at one time and then watch half of it go bad in the fridge. I can go get snacks when I'm high as a kite on weed without killing someone on the road. True freedom for me is never needing to drive or own a car.

Literally one of the first complaints libs have about Chinese cities is "copy paste skyscrapers everywhere." They have some variety in parts of the city but most of the residential areas are still "boring" and "homogeneous" and "designed to kill individualism" according to Western internet geniuses.

Minimalism in GUIs, maybe (still, give me CLI any day). But minimalism in housing and infrastructure is absolutely critical and they are absolutely not equal to software. We need to be as efficient as we can because I don't know if the author has noticed the state of housing in the world. How many more "boring, dull" buildings could be built for the same price? How many more if we copy pasted the same designs instead of demanding everything be unique? (But god forbid they be too different from the existing style or else the NIMBYs protesting minimalist buildings complain about that too.) The people who "prefer" the visually complex building have never been homeless in the back alley of that building before, nor have they ever been priced out of their neighbourhood by gentrification when their boring gray building gets torn down to build the pretty building.

Europeans hate isn’treal more than most places anyway.

Somehow I doubt that's true. But if it is, it means y'all aren't as free from State thought control as you think if your governments are using your biggest event as propaganda. Either that or this is exactly what Europeans want.
