You halfway answered your own question there. Just like in games and movies, they are lazily leaning on nostalgia in the hopes that it will magically generate some money.
Disconnect completely and detox regularly - preferably for several days or even weeks at a time. It can do wonders for general well-being.
I was about to chime in “especially don’t post nudes”, but immediately realised that you don’t even need to do that anymore for someone to ruin your life. They only need your face, that’s it.
Not everyone is wired to be able to follow your advice. When people start making personal attacks against others in online discussions, such insults can reaffirm doubts and insecurities already present in the person on the receiving end (not to mention trauma). I would never place the burden of responsibility on the one being attacked in this way - the responsibility lies solely with the bullies to change their act and with the community to speak out against them.


It could be a play on words based on the root verb 切る (cut). 切ろ死 (kiroshi) could then mean something like “cut to death”, a very reassuring name for a surgical implant corporation.
I think the reason it’s done on an exercise bike is to be able to do it in a controlled and safe environment. The purpose is to teach the drivers, not potentially run them over.

Known as 過労死 (karoshi) in Japan, sadly not a new concept. This is the result of the misconception that working harder will yield better results - it only leads to stagnation and ruin. Hoping that more people will realise this and initiate some change in the work culture; not only in Asia, but in the West too… The work culture in both the US, UK and many parts of the EU needs some serious overhaul.


My preferences often stray onto darker paths, but why not both? https://youtu.be/VhoHnKuf-HI


Being old and stubborn matters. ;)


Ummm, the features you described are all in Vivaldi. Browser engine is Blink (Chromium). My experience with it has been that it’s very fast and stable. I’ve used Opera since about version 6. My nostalgia is real.


The developers who wanted to keep the original philosophy of Opera alive moved on and formed Vivaldi instead. I recommend you try it. It certainly gave me a nostalgic sense of what Opera used to be, and has a lot of useful new features.
You mean voicing their opinion and trying to get it across to as many people as possible?
Tell me, what did you do today?
