Is this the right place for this? Isn't this an opinion piece?

You'd probably have more luck if u actually read the article

"Last week, US military officials and Japanese police conducted a joint patrol of a popular entertainment district near a US airbase in Okinawa. It was the first time the two countries had conducted patrols together since 1974, two years after the islands that make up Okinawa prefecture reverted to Japanese control."

It has nothing to do with the investigation.

I actually don't even know what you're talking about with your other points because nowhere does it say the US is blocking the investigation in any way, and the previous investigations into previous behavior lead to indictment

If someone grabbed my ass at a party, I would count that as sexual assault. Idk what ur going for here, just cuz you don't mind doesn't mean it shouldn't count

Also, no one is expecting bluesky to avoid succumbing to enshittification. People will just jump ship to a new social media platform as they always have. Mastodon has been around for a long time at this point, but people jump to Mastodon, find it confusing, and leave for something easier to use

Consider the following: No.

It's not our responsibility to make FOSS projects better, blaming consumers for wanting a feature prioritized is ridiculous and counter productive. Ease of use is something FOSS projects need to have to be viable to the general populace

I hate to be the person to burst your bubble but racism isn't going anywhere no matter how much people wish it would. Tribalism is heavily ingrained in humanity, people will always separate themselves into us and them. Pretending those differences don't exist won't solve the issue

Poverty is a real issue in America that is also often influenced by race. Race is a real issue in itself that has many different facets.
