Yeah here in Japan most places have a red and blue indicator that moves with the lock. Bidets and toilet seat sanitizers are also pretty standard in any decently modernized areas. We kinda win when it comes to bathrooms.
Just got back from Japan. I’m always surprised when I’m in the middle of nowhere and the public restrooms have heated sitting, deodorizer, bidet, background sounds. Like… Wtf? That’s better than my toilet at home. And I’m not even from the US 🙃
Right now, the state of Israel is showing a grave disrespect to the families of the victims. They even planted fake victim families amongst the real ones, who were there exclusively to excuse the actions of the IDF.
And unlike random people that are getting doxxed, the state of Israel is being given billions of dollars to perpetuate a genocide
TL;dr - Did you actually just allege 'crisis actors' played victim's families? That's not just wholly unsupported, it's also wholly offensive to most people, and certainly to those who have connections to any of the victims.
First, let me state for the record that the entire situation is positively out of control - especially in light of the recent comments from one of Israel's minor ministers. I don't disagree that it appears to be headed towards full-blown genocide. I don't disagree that the folks being killed in Gaza are NOT the ones responsible for the attack, nor connected to the same. We are entirely on the same page there.
What I take exception to, however, is your absolutely unsupported statement regarding 'planted fake victim families.' First, because if one is going to make an allegation that inflammatory, one should ensure clarity. Who are you alleging is fake? The victims? Their families? Both?
I make light of the word choice and clarity, not just because it matters, but because I find it exceptionally unlikely that you could support any of the statements your words 'could' convey. When some asshole killed numerous children in a school, a certain subset of the population whined about 'crisis actors' for some years afterwards. I've heard similar allegations in reference to victims of Hurricane Katrina, and even in reference to Uvalde.
All of them are pure garbage, which places your allegation on exceptionally unsteady footing - In the improbable event that you are able to support that allegation, I'll happily hear out whatever evidence you're able to present.
Until then, there is no need to peddle conspiracy theories, too-vague allegations, etc.
Honestly – and I before I say this, Free Palestine – if you want to be a person who tears down a poster looking for a missing person, I think you should be prepared to live your life as a someone who everyone knows tears down posters of missing persons.
I think people have a right to privacy in the ways that don’t affect other people, but when you do things that affect others – whether that’s not cleaning up after your dog or anonymously harassing whoever hung a poster of a loved one by tearing it down – I don’t feel you’re exercising a right that I have some obligation to defend. Live with the reputation of who you are.
Again, I say this as a critic of the genocide in Gaza. Bibi Netanyahu deserves to be dragged into the Hague to face the International Criminal Court. At the same time, I still hope as many of the Israeli hostages are returned safely as possible, and I have no sympathy for people who are inclined to tear down a missing person poster and want anonymity. That’s not liberating Palestine, that’s just anonymously terrorizing whatever grieving person hung the poster when they discover it’s been torn down.
Right, the point of a missing person sign is to get help finding a person. You put them up in places where the victim is likely to be so the people who see the sign can identify them.
Honestly – and I before I say this, Free Palestine – if you want to be a person who tears down a poster looking for a missing person, I think you should be prepared to live your life as a someone who everyone knows tears down posters of missing persons.
I find it interesting that you felt the need to explicitly say you support Palestine, even though your opinion isn’t really controversial IMO.
This is not the first time I noticed this about a comment, it almost feels like people are afraid of being ostracized by “their side” for having a slightly “wrong” opinion about this conflict.
not sure that getting fired is a suitable punishment for removing posters, but the removal of posters about missing children is a heinous thing, social ostracization is a more fitting reward.
It sounds like you’re leaning towards the contract role.
The first one seems more stable, and may be a better option if you have some debt to pay off or a mortgage.
However, working full remote has some additional perks that you’d have to factor in.
The important thing is getting some experience.
Is the second one just a 6 month contract, or potentially contract to hire or maybe another contract? If you have to job hunt again in 6 months, you need to factor that in to your decision as well.
How to with John Wilson, 30 Rock, Malcolm in the Middle, The Office, Nathan for You, Parks and Rec, Joe Pera Talks to You, Ted Lasso, Baskets (LOVE it, but can be a little sad and heartbreaking in addition to being hilarious and sweet)
Joe Pera and MITM definitely stand out to me on this list. Nathan as well but can be a little dry. Baskets is incredible but it does have it’s downer moments.
Mr Bean is pretty universal no matter the audience. I quite enjoyed Blackadder but I also enjoy history and have grown up on exported British television so I could keep up with the it. Not sure as many could like Mr Bean. Still is amazing the cast and what they did after Blackadder.
Check out Wonderfalls. It’s one of the stranger things I’ve seen, but quite brilliant. The Good Place reminded me of it in many ways, although they are very different shows.
