They're going to make this way too sensitive so people throw away even more food and effective prices get driven up. I guarantee it

You can actually change the functionality of some punctuation, such as is used in my favorite command

I regret to inform you that human history will not be occurring on that date.

Potion of Water Breathing: DOES NOT RETAIN AIR BREATHING

It's not disrespectful to look, and that's all we can see these people doing from these two frames. Hell, it's just about involuntary to take a glance.

It would be disrespectful to stare or make comments/rude gestures, but I doubt that's what's happening here.

The answer is batteries. And dismantling capitalism, but batteries first

What is even happening anymore?

[-] Atlas_@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago

Humanity is now cursed with knowing every bit of horror that happens all around the globe. 200 years ago you might only find out about atrocities months or years after they happened, if at all. It was much clearer then that there was literally nothing you could do about them. Nowadays if you want to throw your life away you can just buy a plane ticket to Ukraine. So now we're being much more regularly faced with terrible things we're not prepared to deal with happening somewhere.

And the truth is still that there is not really anything significant we can do. If it was happening in our backyard we might fight, but there's only so many backyards and only so much room for foolishly selfless people to lay down their lives.

The weirdness you're feeling is not a moral failing, but rather the strangeness of a world we're not built for. As much as I and you might feel for any given fight or issue, the 99% of them are not our business, and it's not morally expected of us to get involved. Lots of religions and moral frameworks and feelings say otherwise. Forget them.

First, 100% a red flag. Even if they wanted to give some sort of "I trust you with my life" sort of video, there's a bunch of better ways to do it. Going for a racist rant makes me think that they're a racist.

Secondly, this is deeply submissive - they're giving you the power to ruin their life. If you want to do that sort of stuff as a couple you should really talk about it first and be on board with receiving that sort of power and responsibility. Entirely possible+reasonable for the receiver to find this shitty because they don't want to make a choice like this, especially if these are truly held beliefs.

The healthy response to this is to send them to a therapist. And definitely dump them if they're actually racist.

Takkyubin.

If you have a large suitcase or other parcel it may be unwieldy to walk around Tokyo or another city with it. Subways only allow one suitcase of a certain size, so you might have to take a much more expensive taxi.

Instead you can go to a desk at the airport and have your luggage delivered same day or next day to ~any hotel, subway station, or convenience store. It will be insured and kept safe for you there to pick up. And at the end of your trip, you can send it back. The price for this convenience? Around $10.

This is not only a good demonstration of Japanese trust and customer service, it's also a legitimately hard logistics problem. I daresay that such a business could not succeed in the US both because of our defensiveness and sprawling cities.
