Russia is a shadow of its former self. I mean, technically, one can have all ambition one wants but it doesn't mean it will amount to anything. That's how it is in the case of Russia. Their ambition (if they even have a global one) can't be felt because they are only trying to cling onto their local influence even. Absolutely. Resources never work out for too long, unless you do it like Norway and smartly invest everywhere. If you want a safe haven in the future, Norway is a good bet. Also, didn't Africa want to create an African coin? Hm, can't really compare the housing types to be honest. But normal, one family houses shouldn't be that different from the US. Do those countries even have ACs? Never been to any of those. In my mind, it would be the exception rather than the norm. Hehe, yep, that's the case here at least. No slanted ceilings of course since it was built to be rented to people.

That's a major issue and also the reason why one ideally creates a patient's will as soon as possible, in case you have an accident or as you get older, you might not be able to think clearly anymore. But yeah, without those, it can really be tough cases. Personally, I'm always for the will of the patient but if that one is unstable, meh. There certainly won't be a 100% solution. I'm generally pro euthanasia if the case is clear. Too bad that it's generally illegal here, IIRC. I definitely remember watching that people had to go to Switzerland, or something, to be able to do what they wanted to do. Of course, in the case of doctors, it should be absolutely voluntary. There might even be reason enough for the industry to create specialized "doctors" for that even. Bla religious groups. They typically lack the rationality.

I thought about buying it but the box + contents was pretty low quality, so I abstained in the end. Will eventually play the games though. Yep, Firefox for plugins. I should switch to Waterfox or Palemoon, but so far I've been too lazy. I will likely do it when I buy a new PC eventually (mine is already seven years old at this point). Yeah, at that point it becomes pretty warped thinking. After all, archiving something is generally for the greater good and people use their money and time for it. Absolutely. Often times you see in pictures of used games that there is some mold or something on the manual etc. So ideally, you keep everything in a vacuum over there. I saw that video too IIRC. I generally thought about donating to the Game Preservation Society but it seems you can only donate a specific amount (3000 Yen per year IIRC)...and also, currently I still need the money to buy my Alicesoft stuff *cough* One definitely has to be careful. Sellers like to embellish their products at times to make them more desirable. There are the standard "rare game" but also more nuanced things. Uh-oh, basically as bad. Game companies often just threw the code away, animation studios often sold the cels to fans for some decent money or put them "somewhere". Now it's lost. So yeah, it's a typical Japanese thing to not pay attention to that.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Ideally, one just ignores the complaints. Unfortunately, stuff like that means clicks, so the internet media and then also the television media is all over it all the time. "Clicks through controversy", basically. Gah, I hate that. It's one reason I don't really watch/read any news. Otakus are otakus because they are obsessed with something. Of course, it can become pretty negative too and then who knows what they will do. They might not jump in front of the train but damaging it would certainly be an option. No idea if we have trainspotters and such here. Possibly.

Air small package registered should be something different. I know I always chose SAL small package registered but apparently that's not available for Germany, so my former forwarding service may have always switched to Air without actually telling me. Oh well. Ah, btw, you didn't need to send your ID to buy adult goods via Buyee, right? Linked? I didn't know you can link something for non-recurring payments. Never seen that anywhere before.

So it was part of that Alicesoft Mega archive pack? Good to know, then I have that version saved on some external HDD at least. Hm, that sounds bad since the date for the digital version on VNDB says: "2005-09-30". So eiher that unformation is wrong or it's a web re-release and the information is, as such, incomplete. Dunno, I think it might be a mistake and it should specify the Alice 2010 release. But maybe it's just more incomplete information and it was initially released via Alice no Yakata 7 and then changed a bit/completed? Ah, well, this is why I generally like .isos of things ^^
