Sounds like a dumb choice.

Among widely available fonts under OFL, GNU GPL for Fonts, or other free licenses, not many of them cover the 2,100-odd Jouyou (regularly used) kanji and 1,000 name kanji that BadDreamer mentioned. It's a lot easier to make a font that covers 100-200 characters from two alphabets, such as Chilanka that covers the Latin and Malayalam scripts in a distinctive and dyslexia-friendly handwritten style, than one that covers 3,000 different kanji made of 600 radicals (as iggymanz mentioned) with manually-tuned slight variations to their shapes to make them fit next to each other in a character.
you could still [write Japanese] in native language with a manageable scope by sticking to the phonetic scripts.
Exclusive use of kana (Japanese phonetic characters) was common in games for MSX, Famicom, and other 8-bit platforms. The one problem with that is the sheer number of homophones in both Chinese and Japanese, words spoken the same and written differently. Kana normally don't even distinguish which syllable a word is accented on, which would be like writing Chinese without its tones. Yet somehow Korean avoided this and switched from Chinese characters (Hanja) to a suitable phonetic alphabet (Hangul).
I distinctly remember people recommending use of a tablet with external keyboard as a substitute for entry-level subnotebook computers when the latter were discontinued in fourth quarter 2012. This despite that major tablets ship with operating systems locked down not to run the sort of lightweight software development environments that could run on the desktop operating system of a netbook.
I think it can be summed up as "Mr. Dollar Ton is a grumpy old boomer that doesn't understand something, so berates anyone who dares challenge his world view"
Where there's money to be made from a finite resource, there's corruption.
Jokes aside about Thanksgiving...
Thanksgiving dinner costs a little more this year, govt can I has a few thousand in free money? What's the difference between those examples and texas buying btc?
The difference is that food is part of(*) rights to an adequate standard of living as per Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Not dying of starvation is a fundamental human right.
So yeah, I get that you're joking about somebody throwing an excessively opulent Thanksgiving party and then complaining that it costs a bit much.
But making sure that every single person has access to sufficient food is a core job that government has to do(**). You can make jokes around what constitutes "sufficient", but you can't deny that nobody should die of starvation.
On the other hand, making sure that your Ponzi scheme doesn't implode before you had time to make it to the bank isn't the government's job. At best government's job would be to regulate in order to make it less likely that unsuspecting idiots get caught up in such scams.
(**): Yes, I understand that from the US' point of view, I am an evil Euro-communist and my country is some socialist hell-hole.
(*): along with "clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control."

You do understand that government budgets don't work like balancing your home expenses, right?
And you claim to know how LLM's think?
The word intelligent comes from the Latin word for understanding. LLM's don't understand the answers they provide to prompts.
The real question is whether SEGA or Phil Collins's label will sue first.
Much of the DOGE commission's responsibility had been moved to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for the past several months. See "DOGE 'cut muscle, not fat'; 26K experts rehired after brutal cuts" by Ashley Belanger
Let's just distribute 1 million tons of microplastics into the atmosphere.
So I'm all for evidence-based medicine as a starting point, but when you realize it isn't behaving normally, you should adjust accordingly.
The thing about adopting evidence-based policy is that you also need to review and if necessary change policy when more evidence becomes available. The kind of situation you're describing would surely qualify.
Many, many PC games can be played with a controller connected to the PC's USB port. Support for HID protocol and XInput protocol is widespread.
Gaming exclusively on modern consoles on grounds that games for Linux or Windows are presumed malware means you'll probably get indie games years late or never. This is because it takes time for an indie developer to build enough of a reputation in the industry to become eligible to buy a devkit for a modern console.
Unless by consoles, you mean things like the NES and Genesis, which are still getting brand-new indie games decades after Nintendo and Sega stopped supporting them.

Virginia must leave the parenting decisions where they belong: with parents
Sounds to me like Virginia is trying to give parents tools to enforce their decisions.
