Oh, I think I would go insane if I constantly had to hear something. It already weirds me out that people hear things that aren’t actually there and this is a thing that actually is.

No one needs it and it’s inconvenient. Some people with money import foreign cars (particularly around Roppongi/Akasaka/Meguro in Tokyo)

As a farmer in Japan, not all tractors are even road legal here. It would also take me hours on a tractor to go get anything of size. That said, I also don’t need or want american-sized trucks for that. We have kei trucks.

Also out of Japan as well, please. We definitely don’t need these, especially in pedestrian- and cyclist-heavy areas. (I have seen hummers trying to drive some streets in Tokyo and it’s insane).

Throw the book at everyone in the entire chain that planned and executed this.

This was indeed me for the last 20ish years. STAR voting or similar now, plz (and an end to gerrymandering)

No, but rockets were a thing

I recently found out gluten was a source of trouble (probably coeliac but not confirmed just yet), so none anymore. However, for the first 30ish years of my life: cereal in a bowl with a spoon. Cinnamon Toast Crunch as an adult treat, other boring health cereals (some kinda bran thing, I think a Special K one at some point, etc.), and Alphabits a lot as a kid. Also sometimes Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, and others depending upon what we could afford. I would just have some normal beverage alongside it but I don’t remember feeling particularly compelled to drink more.

No it isn’t; I do make soup out of my cereal like other weirdos.

I tried milk on cereal twice, puked both times. I just always ate dry cereal.

Again/still/it really took you this long??

US -> Japan. Mostly, I miss family. I have basically no love for the area in which I grew up nor contact with anyone there (half my family never lived there, the other half moved to another state).

I do miss some foods that are hard to find or very expensive here. Things like PC parts are (or at least were) much cheaper in the US since it was generally a niche hobby device outside of business use here until quite recently.

I can’t remember BK doing anything too crazy over here. Currently, the special thing is just a garlic sauce/topping, it appears.

We don’t have that problem and have a water heater (not tankless). I think they just do something different with the plumbing here in Japan most of the time.

Assume that this is an apocalyptic Jew before rabbinic judaeism. That should frame thinks a bit better. The problem, at least as I understand it, is people doing commerce, particularly for a profit, in a sacred space. I do t think the money was the problem in and of itself, but rather the execution and motive. In another story, biblical Jesus tells someone of wealth and power that what he needs to do is give all of that up and he was quite miffed (in a very tldr telling)

Oh, a franc for every time that one happened…

The nazis used a variety of orientations of the symbol.

That song is EVERYWHERE here in Japan each Christmas and it drives me nuts.

From the US but in Japan. Christmas is a normal working day. Couples often go out for a date night. KFC’s chicken (or another fried or roasted one) is a common staple for dinner.

Family will get each other presents. I’ve heard it’s more like one present, but I don’t really know. I should ask the in-laws this winter when we go for New Years (the big family gathering time in Japan and NOT so much a big party time with lots of businesses closed).

For cases where it sounds like another letter, why not just use that one?

Which the other one? Within English itself, the same letter can be pronounced a number of ways. It’s like when people want to “fix” English spelling, they always assume it’s going to be their dialect that wins.

Started on beehaw but hated Lemmy of the time. Went with a kbin instance. First one died. Second died. I liked mbin so I picked one more and so far it is yet to burn down, fall over, and then sink into a swamp.

If this one ever goes away, I might try pixelfed or whatever it’s called
