Would a casually non-Japanese character even fly over there? My sense is that they still exoticise everyone else.

I mean, it's why they're all doing alcoholism and skin-melting drugs.
Do they? The old ones are usually magnetically triggered and I assume current ones have a CPU onboard interpreting multiple sensors.
None. Prescriptivism isn't how the world actually works.
I do wonder what the second "is" in "the thing is, is that" means. Presumably, there's a logical answer for the speakers.
I mean, both are opposites in their own way.
We know what authoritarianism is.
Do we? A lot of people think it's when one guy controls everything. In reality, autocracies have hella internal dynamics and quite often exercise less control than a democracy would over a given thing as a result. There's also people that think having to take simple measures to avoid spreading plagues is authoritarian, and people who think entirely removing due process isn't.
To actually answer: It depends on context, because it's not really an ideology in itself. It can mean opposing existing autocracies, or it can mean opposing more mechanisms of control, perhaps in the fear it will eventually lead to autocracy. Sometimes it just means whoever wants to not have to do anything.
I'd have no problem if someone did me, for the record. Seems only incrementally different from mental imagery or writing a fanfic.
At this point I'm clearly in a minority, though.
These are all Eastern European software developers, per the article.
With prostitution, you don't even need the initial 20, but that's basically a kind of work so I don't think it's in the spirit.
Probably ditto for finding someone dumb enough to buy your overpriced single gram. If you can actually build a client base and find regular suppliers that changes, although then you have to deal with the risks of being a drug dealer.
100% return in one month? Just using the internet? Impossible.
That's one of those things that would be immediately, completely used up the moment it exists. A free lunch, basically.
In theory, you could get a few percent annualised return for nothing the conventional investment way, but I don't know how easy that would be especially with a small amount, and anti-laundering laws exist to (try to) stop you from doing it anonymously like that.
It feels like you might be hoping for a hustle, but you either need to deliver something of value right at the time of the transaction, or promise to deliver value and have an verifiable identity where they can come and find you if you don't. Because the other people with the money you want aren't stupid.
Yeah, it's a bit complicated. They retain some level of sovereignty within the UAE as I understand it, unlike Califonia, which since the civil war has basically been just a subnational division.

It's pretty impossible not to be tangentially connected with someone bad somewhere. Unless I have reasonable grounds to think the production of something was directly unethical I can't and don't worry about it.
For example, if you buy a thing from a poor country, there's a chance a slave made it, but a greater chance it was part of somebody's ticket out of rural poverty, and no way to tell. On the other hand, meat is always meat (unless it's lab-grown I guess, but that technology doesn't work very well to date).
