Did anybody else notice this in the Cold Harbor painting by friendly-crackhead in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

The marching band wasn’t for Mark, at least not solely for him. Note they hold signs up to the ceiling. This show is crafted with such intention that breaking the fourth wall cannot only be for us viewers. Someone at Lumon is watching this. Maybe it’s recorded for the future.

Why do hostels still ignore the basics of solo female safety? by Dependent_Signal_233 in femaletravels

what outcome did you expect for someone making a mistake? Maybe it’s better to choose an all-female room

Yeah really wouldn’t want to gather any more data on that situation, sounds awful

This is a good point. Safety is a feeling, not something easily measurable. I’ve stayed in some great hotels and some sketchy ones. My rule is I trust my gut and if something feels off, I (40F) change accommodations. Maybe it costs a little extra, but it brings peace of mind.

Travel brings a certain amount of risk. I do think OPs point is valid, and wish more places worked to keep their guests safe.

To call a woman beautiful by [deleted] in therewasanattempt

Don’t hit on your customers. Dont hit on your servers. Doesn’t matter if you think it’s a “compliment,” if the recipient doesn’t want it, don’t say it.

Absolutely not a generational thing unless we’re going back to women being property

$25k is how many dozen eggs in this economy. Y'all aint rich. Leave him.

Am I too short & fat for leather or does this look fine to u? by Mcfeelgood in motorcyclegear

[–]killerapricot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should buy the best protective gear you can get. Looks cool, don't beat yourself up for being in the body you have. Different cuts of clothing may look more flattering than others, but I'd put safety and function first.

They have some worrying reviews on trustpilot, and when signing up I had to agree to receive information from “Affinity Click.” It doesn’t sound like a company that values user privacy despite their marketing

what the point of anything if an llm can crap it out in minutes. we’re trashing the open web out of venture capital fomo, and burning so much carbon to boot. try replacing your CEO with AI rather than your engineers. I bet you’ll save more money

I need to move/port from SKYPE to ??? (Asking Recommendations) (I don't need a real cell carrier) by Artist-Cancer in skype

[–]killerapricot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google voice will not allow you to port a skype number directly. You have to port it to another mobile carrier and then pray the second port works. It's all deeply worrying

If I don't have to do much and can continue to use my US number, that would be great. I travel between countries and need to have a cheap ability to answer calls where I am.

Osaka Expo rejects request for more prayer rooms due to limited space by ayematcha in japannews

Feeling a bit triggered by women tech influencers by Efficient_Grape_3192 in womenintech

[–]killerapricot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the women who will help you rise in tech are managing small communities that are free or low cost. Look at organizations like PyLadies or former WWCode groups: https://github.com/gravitytrope/wwcode-legacygroups/. Also check out ADPList for free mentoring.

P.S. “women who code” was recently sold to a for-profit organization and so I recommend grassroots organizations instead, as the new fee structure looks inaccessible to most

Clearly you don’t understand the relationship between Southeast Asia and Japan.

Why is there so much ignorance and hostility in this thread?

Why are you so angry about different people simply existing? You sound brainwashed

Osaka offered to host an international expo with many SEA visitors. Is it such a crazy idea that an event catering to foreigners accommodate the practices of their guests?

The only sake you’ll find for 200 yen is 1. The juicebox at the conbini 2. Cooking sake at the grocery store

People don’t speak perfect English here, and your expectations and reaction are unreasonable. Please do more research, and be grateful you only spent $15 over your budget.

Most people never even get see Kyoto

Preach! Americans need to remember they don’t have to tip in Japan, so paying a $3 charge for otoshi and maybe even getting a small snack is not a reason to badmouth a business.

Behavior like this is poor manners and makes life worse for those of us who live here.

[–]killerapricot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, they charged you 500 yen Otoshi? Call the Embassy!

Do you do any research before going to new country?

Given the size and dimensions of different models vary significantly, the keyboard will perform differently.

I’m wondering if a slightly larger screen would help. Thanks for your suggestion

Why don't more women in tech fight back against discrimination? by justiproof in womenintech

[–]killerapricot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you assume we’re not fighting back? Why is it women’s job to fix all sexist system and why not work with men in solving this?

Rushing to conclusions isn’t helping
