Listen, we can’t all be Sid Meier or Edmund McMillan. Some of us are just a 14 year old who’s learning Java for the first time. Doesn’t mean it isn’t fun.
Isn’t this because of those special stamps they use in Japan to notorize documents? I heard about them on a podcast: 99percentinvisible.org/episode/hanko/
Fuck tipping. American tipping culture enables employers to get away with paying their hospitality service industry employees starvation wages. By giving a big tip you are just telling the employer “Don’t worry about paying your employees a living wage. I got you fam.”
Obviously I still tip depending on where I am, but the minimum amount that is considered socially acceptable.
Maybe you shouldn’t take a job that pays $3/hour and then blame other people for why you get paid so little. My brother in Christ, you accepted the job.
Honestly I think you should re-examine your perspective on charities. Just because they have some amount of administrative overhead doesn’t mean that they are always worse than simply giving money to a random person. That administrative overhead probably helps them operate at a scale that allows them to help far more people than a smaller organization could.
Like, if I give money to a local food bank, that would feed far more needy people than if I went to my local restaurant and bought a bunch of take-out and then went down to a homeless camp and gave random people the take-out. Because food banks have supply chain connections and economies of scale that allow them to buy a lot more food for every dollar than you can get at a restaurant.
I advise that you just don’t give a fuck if the order is coming through Amazon or not. Who’s to say whether they’re more evil than some other company that might fulfill your order. The thing you’re buying was probably made with exploitative labour practices from unethically sourced materials anyway. Simply shipping it to you is probably dependent on a global logistics network of fossil fuels and colonialism.
Just don’t think about it. There’s no way to buy things in this world and “do good” at the same time.
It’s because of the COVID vaccine mind control chips he put in everyone. If he wants to cause a storm, he just makes the entire population of Norway start flapping their arms in unison, which causes atmospheric disruption that leads to storms.
The current flag dates back to the middle ages, maybe as far as the 12th century. This makes it not only one of the youngest national flags of the world (since 2004), but also one of the oldest! (Even if it has been in disuse for most of its history.)...
Personally I don’t believe that’s actually true. Some percentage of those people are NPCs whose models get culled as soon as I’m no longer looking at them.

What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?
It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service
or even pseudo-incriminated for attempting to maintain our own life....
How do I avoid Amazon when orders from other sites get fulfilled by Amazon?

Today marks 20 years since Georgia changed its flag! They got rid of a, IMO quite ugly, brown flag, replacing it with the much prettier red and white flag of the medieval Kingdom of Georgia. (files.catbox.moe)

How often do you clean them, and how? Any cautionary tales?
