first in SEA but second if you consider general asia (Taiwan was first). iirc Thailand gets a handful of gay tourists which really helps with their tourism numbers from the other countries who either have it banned or its a dont ask dont tell situation. heres an article that covers it in the past 5 years

for things to work out that way, the states would have to mutually accept such arrangements as valid. california cannot directly impose such laws vs other states but only can influence companies to apply it company wide.
basically some agreement has to be made in order to universally do it elsewhere, for example drivers licenses and marriage agreements are automatically acknowledged between states, even if a requirment for them or something related to it were to be illegal(e. g gay marriage) in a state. this mutual agreement doesnt apply to all laws.
imagine accepting 63k to die
a couple of reasons, some being that 1, ip addresses are limited on the internet, and making it free would instantly fill it up. another is that there is still some work involved,because once you register for a domain, internet service providers and DNS providers around the world need to also add your newly established domain to ip to their DNS so that people get redirected to your domain correctly. the domain endings also have a cost attached to them due to popularity and who is allowed to hand them out. e.g country related domains (e.g .kr for korea, .fr for france has their reasons to charge or without handing a domain out, but some countries may get lucky and happen to have a domain thats desirable (e.g Anguilla has .ai) and thus will charge more
you also want to prevent domain name ransoming. if domain names were free, there will be people registering for all domain names to use as bargaining chips against a person or company similar to social media handles
kinda crazy. Even AAA gives its employees beneficial AAA insurance (at least according to a tow truck driver i was driving with at some point who worked directly for AAA who at least told me that working directly for AAA is more often better than working as a tow truck driver for a local company).
id imagine a certain generation hates the US mainly because of the US stance during the Falkland Wars, as its one of the major times where the US didn't enforce the monroe doctrine(when it typically would have). Of course as time gets farther from that time period that view kinda starts to mull off, sorta like younger generations in mainland asia's opinion of japan.
i mean they did very recently consider switching to the US dollar, which means at least at a government standpoint, they trust the US economy over their own at that moment. They used to hate the US in the early 2000's but its more 50/50 i think nowadays.
i meam the payment for a domain name is kinda worth it. as well as a functional vpn

hard to land a job unless you have a job and chose to work in the japanese branch there or have considerably helped japan financially (aka rich). you also must renounce your citizenship with your previous country (which is a huge dealbreaker in cases)
do people in the UK not like things like Teriyaki, or like americanized Chinese food like orange chicken?
its more or less that yes. they saw the money but not the time and effort to get users to use your platform.
and its not like impossible, as long as you can create games people will play and stay at itll work (e.g Riot), but they legit put such little effort in the launchers that it was creating a negative user experience, and never put in the money to make it better.
