    The idea that Japan was ever more technologically advanced than the US is a tough argument to make. Perhaps they had better consumer and transportation technologies, but the US led the world in nearly all other forms of technology (see silicon valley, NASA, US defense technology, etc). It’s cool the hate on the US but there’s a reason it was the world super power for decades. It’s too bad it’s turning into an anti-science christo-facist kelptocracy.

    dude had already swallowed the tech bs, thinks ai is the furthest advancement of technology when it can’t compete with ancient tech. literally can’t do what a calculator can do reliably. or a timer. or a calendar.

      A calculator, timer or calendar can’t help me write an essay. You are comparing tools meant for different tasks. At least build your argumentets on something reasonable.

        Why argue with someone who isn’t intelligent enough to write their essays without mechanical assistance?

          Weak argument, dude

          Did you use your computers spell check, ever? Cuz you’d fall for your own smart-assery if you did

          “Why argue with someone who needs something else to write the essay for them” might be better

          The Japanese talk about it, too, homie

          Also, gaikokujin if you don’t wanna sound racist. I get that it can be neutral (and have used it to refer to myself even), but I’m not gonna let the context you used it in slide
