The issue of the overlapping abbreviation 'Democratic Party' needs to be resolved.

That's what I thought until Sunday night.

However, I learned something when I served as a vote count observer.
This cannot be changed. There are probably far more votes with the 'Democratic Party' listed than people think.

There's probably no solution to this other than changing the proportional ballots to multiple choice.

Sony really doesn't seem to be interested in making decent smartphones.
They're abandoning 21:9, deleting Photo Pro, reusing the same camera sensor for three years in a row, and not releasing a successor to PRO-I. I wonder if they'll release a proper premium smartphone. It's not going to be popular with the general public anymore, and it's not going to appeal to geeks anymore.

As I answered in the interview, I think it's quite important for both the sender and the receiver to be freed from the need to create a buzz.

Of course, there is something fun about social media, which is filled with a lot of noise, but there are times when you want to speak or listen quietly at a moderate volume.

Personally, I think it's important to be able to use them according to your mood at the time. Don't rely on just one thing, have multiple things.

It is true that the recommendation algorithm has done a good job of creating a sense of dynamism, but it is probably not healthy to have a loud ad truck driving through a quiet vacation home area.
