  • Tbh that’s the 80s and why these companies all exist today, Japanese economy was kinda peerless at the time.

    You’re also forgetting the likes of Toshiba, Toyota & Fujitsu, who are also still very dominant in their respective areas.

    Fujitsu is the one least attached to the consumer market, but what people don’t realise is a surprisingly large number of government supercomputer systems across the world run on Fujitsu systems. They don’t really have any competitors in that space any more.





  • Well, my wedding gifts are usually proportional to what I imagine the couple have already spent for me to be there.

    Someone who throws a wedding with accommodation and everything else all taken care of is going to get a bigger gift than one where I’m just invited to the evening do.

    I guess the invite cost something to send so I suppose their gift would probably be about 50p max, if I could even bring myself to send anything.

    Funnily if I wasn’t invited to a wedding of a friend for whatever reason and they didn’t send a card like this, I’d probably be more inclined to get a token gift as a congratulations anyway.









  • Not for everyone but political activism is a good outlet, be it protests or volunteering to help the election campaign of the opposition when it comes round again. Make sure everyone you know lays the blame in the correct place when shit inevitably hits the fan.

    Other than that, get off corporate social media, rage bait is the most effective content for driving interaction, corporate social media algorithms are designed to maximise interaction. You will always be shown the worst of everything on social media.

    Similarly identify where your news is coming from and if it’s coming from somewhere with a tendency to sensationalise. Cut anything like that out too.

    It’s important to be informed yes, but it’s not essential to be aware of absolutely everything for most people, and if that’s better for your mental health, you should prioritise reduction in consumption.
