  Funnily enough that’s where I find most of the litter in Japan, like, if you go to any non-main road that goes through a bit of forest, you will see signs threatening fines for littering, with a bunch of trash tossed in that exact area.

  I have seen cans, bottles, ACs, TVs, baby car seats, bags, and general household trash. Also found a golf club once that I actually brought home because I thought that it was neat. And this is only along a single stretch of road that is only like 1km long.

  So Japan isn’t some miracle society that doesn’t litter, it’s just that they do it someplace that is somewhat out of sight.

  Yay for Oriental voids, this lady has been in the family for a decade, also, everytime I hear someone say that all cats are assholes, I know that they never had an Oriental

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon loves sunny days⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, idk what that guy is about, few months ago the outside temp was like 32°C and, because my apartment has crap insulation, the inside temp was either equal or higher. That was not fun and didn’t help with going outside at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon shares his dating preferences⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Continuing with the food analogy.

  The problem is that I’m basically up for trying almost anything.

  I know what I foods I probably wouldn’t like (paprika for example).

  And there are certain foods that I like more than others, but there is no hard preference.

  Asian food? No problem.

  Pizza? Love it.

  McDonald’s bit plain but always reliable.

  Kebab? Nice.

  There simply is no preference, as long as I like the taste and it fills the stomach, I am happy.

  Well yes, but that’s the time when I do my various hobbies, that are mostly solitary

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a homebody⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the reasons why I never will want to do WFH, I just know that I will turn into this greentext

  What? UD does get sidetracked a bit l, but NEET is actually an acronym for “Not in Education, Employment, or Training” and it is not just some made-up internet term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the internet⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk, wasn’t it reported that it was Indians piloting the ship? Probably something to do with that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's more interesting when self-directed⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, the school subject is kinda supposed to give you general knowledge of most of the general history, and they have X years to do it. Back in school we even had 2 different history subjects in our schedules, where one focused on the history of the world and one was for national history of the country.

  While researching history on your own, you are the one who decides how shallow or deep you want to look into something, so it naturally just aligns with stuff that you find interesting.

  Didn’t know that capitalism made people blow the miniscule dangers of nuclear power out of proportion and create irrational fear

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to try to explain the origins from memory so someone who knows more will probably explain better.

  It comes from an book or a movie, where a husband is planning something nefarious (don’t remember if it’s a murder or something) and he uses the attic of his house to do it. This is set back in the days when they used gas for lighting things and when he turns on the lighting in the attic, it causes the lights to change (probably get dimmer) in the rest of the house. His wife notices this and brings it up to him, since he obviously doesn’t want to reveal that he is the one causing it, he constantly convinces his wife that it’s all in her head and that she might be losing her mind.
