I don’t think I said they don’t speak English. It’s usually pretty broken in my experience. They’re usually just guys who work long hours at a hard job.
I’ve actually seen deliveries from all sorts of immigrant drivers, Ukrainian stands out.
Who the fuck is supposed to drive the trucks then? I live in (upstate) New York and it seems like even up there a significant population of Mexican truck drivers.
That’s absolutely true! I just didn’t want it to seem like Japan was some sort monolith of unbroken rule.
I mean sure they’ve still got a royal line, but the royal family wasn’t always in power. Like is it fair to say that the Tokugawa government is the same as the meiji restoration government, is the same as the modern government?
I’m not the only one!?
Staying in shape has helped prevent most other silly injuries though.
I think it’s justified in this case. Unless you want more expensive hot dogs.
If you are too thin and active your cycle can get all fucky!

Okay, definitely not satire.
You’re allowed to say whatever you like, but you’re still a bigot.
Is this satire? I genuinely can’t tell
I’ve been making my own tempeh recently, it’s so much cheaper than meat or buying tempeh, and it tastes better.
Is rural living also immortal to you? At least near me the economics of becoming a farmer aren’t terrible but lots of them have second jobs.
Arranging text (especially calligraphy) by hand is so difficult (for me). Best I’ve come up with is writing it on separate sheet of paper then measuring it and laying it out, then hope you practiced enough that you do it the same on your work piece.
That 10% that’s good is still a larger library than you could ever reasonably expect to play, even if you don’t have a job. But I also think there’s a massive amount of games that could be good and just no one’s played them.
I work at a ski mountain, it was spring and the snow was melting. Had to explain that it needs to be below freezing out for the mountain to make more snow. “Fake” snow is still frozen water.
There would need to be an extinction event of over 90% of biodiversity to become the worst extinction event in history. The earth will survive, things will live, what those things will be? Who knows, probably small stuff that burrows underground, they tend to be survivors.
The earth has literally gone through more rapid climate changes in the past.
But I am indirectly affected greatly by overfishing and directly by the overall health of the oceans. The health of the environment directly effects me. So shouldn’t I also have some say in the health of the environment?
I think maybe I’m quibbling over word nuance.
Maybe I’ve got an odd take on it, or we’re saying the same thing. Like humans as a whole should definitely try to be more empathetic in their lives. Being more empathetic is something I’m working on a lot myself right now. i don’t think empathy is about “Feeling what someone else would feel if you were in their situation”. I say that because everyones experience of life is different, some people feel pain more than others, or social pressures, or hunger, or whatever. What I mean is that we experience the world uniquely, and empathy is coming to understand the unique experience of others. As in it’s not how I would experience their situation, but how they are experiencing their situation. And a coffee maker has no experience. But maybe I’m talking about something other than empathy
I was thinking more along the lines of governmental continuity, which has just as arbitrary lines. But less arbitrary in some cases like conquest or dynastic change. Like there was something that happened between Julius Caesar and Agustus. The line isn’t super clear, but the Republican government and the empire definitely have some key differences even if the Senate was never really disolved.
But I remember Louis XIV saying something like “I die, but the state remains”. So I think in some proto form “the state” or something larger than just the ruler has existed on and off throughout history.
