  Extraordinary push indeed.

  It says “非常時”, which means in case of emergency or something along those lines, definitely not extraordinary

    What is an emergency if not an extraordinary time? (I get what you’re saying too, just think it’s interesting as far as translation goes)

      Emergencies are certainly an extraordinary time, but not all extraordinary times are an emergency. I wonder why it translated like that

        Japanese and other character languages (idk the linguistic term off hand) tend to encapsulate phrases or meanings to characters. So it isn’t the same as say translating from French to English. It is a lot more challenging plus context can change the meaning of characters too.

    Isn’t every time you need to take a shit, an emergency?

    i’d imagine using it would be in a similar category to an emergency exit: don’t unless it’s an emergency; the choice is yours and there are consequences for misuse
