Nearly one in ten young adults living in Japan isn’t ethnically Japanese, statistics show Japan’s young adult foreign national population is soaring while its ethnically Japanese counterpart is shrinking. The biggest demographic shifts taking place in Japan are the country’s aging population and the surge in the number of foreign residents, and there are actually a few age-related quirks involved in that second development too. Unlike some other nations, […]

White text on black background in a table with 4 rows and 3 columns. White border lines for cells. Font Normal Bold Tunga ಮೊ ಮೊ Kedage ಮೊ ಮೊ Nirmala ಮೊ ಮೊ (but wrong glyph)

What the actual font? Bolding outrageously changes glyphs? 😮

(Kannada text "mo" in 3 fonts. Bolding the text in Nirmala Text font in MS Word changes the glyph to something non-existent in Kannada.)

A screenshot of the Google Cloud users Preferences/Languages pane The date options are: March 14, 2015 14. March 2015 2015. March 14.

Google, what are these absolutely cursed date format options!??

Just give me YYYY-MM-DD 😭

I literally have to count out the month names on my fingers since for a decade+ I have lived in a world of Japanese dates (numbered months) and SQL timestamps 😭

Bidirectional text (spelled backwards). Currency exchange, calendar formats, emoji searchability.
