LOL this is the hilarious response of
“Oh yeah?! Don’t have anything better than putting a biased source of credibility attached to every article for no reason other than for people to use to dismiss articles and not read them?!
Well too bad removing it isn’t an option! Find me a different one cause it makes me feel good!”
said the minority.

I mean also lots of connections and usually wealth but hey probably just the missions.

Right but also people rarely expect constant 100% eye contact. The occasional glance to show connection is actually more than enough for basically everyone and can be learned to done pretty easily. Its not needed but even the simple glance of eye contact makes people feel way more seen and heard.
Then you can just talk past each other the rest of the time as is standard.

Its never been easier to be lazy and unplanning about things and use other peoples time to try and cure your own boredom.

Yeah I guess we mocked those Bluetooth earpieces too much because now I wish everyone had one cause I’m so tired of people holding their phone 4 feet from their face at max volume yelling their conversation.

Some do some don’t. I love to play the mash buttons and hope for a real person game but more often lately it just ignores you or says that isn’t an input and keeps you locked in the automated, cause their just isn’t a person on the other side being paid to actually pick up a phone.

Yeah I can do this. And am not even 30 yet.

Nope.
It would probably help if phone calls still really existed as a method of getting stuff done but the amount of places not bothering / having automated / foreign staff for their call centers makes them basically pointless and a completely different skill set compared to old school charisma and phone etiquette.

Patience and stubbornness to deal with the bullshit and still keep the effort applied will win.

Not some skill that feels nostalgic and forgotten like phone calls or cursive will save you from the onslaught of time.

Hmm… Is that true? It’s not like smoking bans are actually all encompassing its still mostly local precident and business decisions.
I am not sure I have seen someone smoke weed where they couldn’t smoke a cigarette, or where banned a cigarette smoker might illegally light up anyways, other than vapes which are still also in high contention and not exactly banned.

I think you just have a stigma and an axe to grind that specifically singles them out because of a internal problem you have.

Anyways, good luck with that.

Wasn’t in 2015 when I hit on a girl for helping me navigate the subway system.

I dunno I thought nothing was gonna beat the Olympian that was hunted down and set on fire by her Ex just earlier this month but yeah this beat it.

I mean I had actually had a conversation a long while ago when I originally fell in love with Annapurna games about my perceived dangers of it being run almost single handedly by a billionaire playing around with her Dad’s money that the level of control she had would make it risky to treat like a legitimate company but they really put the gold star stamp of approval on so many games they made and published.

Honestly this won’t really hurt the billionaire. She has the publishing contracts still and whatever partial finished games were already in development but I really do hope the best for the actual talent and employees.

I really want to see them help push into that more united gaming labor force that the Henry Stickman developers foundation (Outersloth), and other groups are doing to let them actually help games be unique and good.

OK. Cool.

That has nothing to do with Japan and sounds like you just wanted to bring it up.

Maybe excitement I get when I speak Japanese even just OK is a beautiful thing compared to France and Quebec trying to speak French.

But I will say South Korea is racist as fuck and being white and talking to a girl will get you and the girl attacked but worse of all mostly the girl.

And yeah clubs, dating, and housing in Japan are not great but it’s definitely as with always a nuanced gray that is hard to explain to people who like a simple answer.

Maybe you are smoking to much and your paranoia is showing?

At least most tobacco users have the decency to not ruin enclosed public spaces for the general populace.

Because we banned them doing that just recently? And could and probably should do the same if any actual action or progress could be had these days?

We need to invest in our citizens, cause suffering struggling people will pick any easy option to try and make themselves feel safe. Its not just education but work and healthcare and community and local events.

Its just that we have done everything to not bother spending money and steal back every tax dollar for the rich to hold onto.

It’s seen as financially “smart” by all parties for decades now. We need to go back to trying to build society instead of deciding it’s done and getting as much money back from it.

Decimals don’t matter for you and you are pushing that to everyone as a way to delegitimize my point.

I use Celsius and they matter to me. I can and do notice a difference between setting my thermostat to 21.5 vs 22 vs 22.5. You don’t whatever.

I said I was using Celsius but because I had a complaint you decided I was outside of your accepted user group and my statement was BS.

Its bullshit.

Meh I’m about 50/50 4 air conditioners in. Half degrees has not been all that uncommon and it’s up and down arrows to adjust it. I don’t get the handwaving of legitimate points of comtention to make Celsius seem more perfect. Everything has its flaws. It’s completely fine to admit that.

No this was an airconditioner built for and used in Japan only. It’s only in Celsius. It just uses decimal point options for finer control. I have been in plenty of places that only use Celsius and use decimals especially higher than 20s.

And still doesn’t change the drastic change between the whole numbers the higher you go vs lower temps.

Edit: literally my fever thermometer uses decimals to help you get a proper temperature reading between normal and fever.
