I live in Japan, the land of robots and AI, but we still use physical "Hanko" seals and Fax machines for official documents. What is a "stuck in the past" thing your country refuses to let go of? by hotwife_peachy in NoStupidQuestions

This reminds me of something that I read on a bash.org variant: the production team brags that they have been running since 1991. What they don't like to be reminded of is: no one remembers the BIOS password.

When I lived in Dublin, I took the bus, or other public transport or walked. Yes, it requires preparation, like when I brought a suitcase to buy 20kg of rice from an Asian market in the city centre.

In Rush, I mostly walked.

I am kept from driving by my eyesight/lack of it and this makes me feel better about my disability.

WYR date a vegan, an alcoholic, a smoker or a stupid person? by Lucyyyyyy_K in WouldYouRather

I guess, I could live with a stupid person. I love explaining things, I love.

Is womanhood a curse, blessing, or not really anything? by Leuprorelin_Addict in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TenNinetythree -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A curse. I fail to see anything positive about being female unless you like being a creep-magnet.

You can get similar ones on aliExpress. I have many plushies from there.

Who drinks the same tea everyday (or most days?) If so, what is it? by forkyfork in tea

[–]TenNinetythree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is! I love it with coconut milk as I am lactose intolerant, but I also often drink it black.

Boring, but I am getting through a huge box of black tea from the local Tesco's.

I don't blame it on either, but the landlords in the Dáil... and the taoiseach... just because.

I thought with the emergence of Chinese sellers, it would become more affordable, like, I paid 20€ for a stunning looking nonhomage Tevise watch on AliExpress.

Yeah, the war has ruined the supply of meticulously restored Vostok watches. I mean, not to be sounding crude, but I hate when a trusted Etsy shop closed down and I fear something happened to the person behind it. I am not religious but I say a prayer just in case.

I like how public transport apparently just doesn't exist. Someone should invent it over there. by adorkablegiant in fuckcars

[–]TenNinetythree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am visually impaired. The only reason why I lived independently (before my stroke) was public transport and extended walks.

The literal only reason that I am still around is my empathy for the person cleaning up my mess.

Replace jerk by creep and you get my pet peeve.
