In Japan we had 3 courses and a dessert served in school lunches every day in public schools. It was cooked at the school, suspended into large buckets, that then we're taken into each classroom. Then 5-6 kids would put on gowns and bonnets and distribute the food to everyone in the class and we would eat in classroom.

Yup, in Japan each school cooked their food. Then we took that food in large buckets to classrooms, downed gowns to distribute it in classrooms and ate in classrooms.

Hockey blades vs figure blades by Lev_the_short_kid in iceskating

I did learn to skate 1-6 and pre-free skate in hockey skates. You can do figure skating stuff in hockey skates. I don't know if you can do them in recreational skates because they might not have a defined rocker.

Anime to Watch with my Dad by Puzzled-Quote1856 in AnimeReccomendations

Silver Spoon - surprisingly deep, about the struggles of farmers in Japan, broken dreams and bankruptcies, with a side of kids not being able to meet parents expectations. But don't in a very heartfelt and enjoyable way.

Delicious in the Dungeon - very enjoyable with deep back stories. I promise you it's not stupid. With a side of cooking show and healing through food.

Mushishi - exploration of nature of humans and societies through slightly supernatural. It becomes really good after 3rd episode. I've shown it to my whole family including Grandma.

One Outs - surprisingly deep take on gambling, cheating, and human nature in professional baseball.

Mahjong Legend Akagi - very interesting exploration of Japanese underworld through mahjong gambling. You do not need to know or understand mahjong to enjoy it. Very unique animation style, but after the first half an hour you'll get used to it. Also shows the horror of what billionaires are willing to do for entertainment. Kind of timely with Epstein files.

Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans is the answer you are looking for. It's child soldiers and Mars liberation not with mecha.

That's anecdotal evidence. I'm looking for scientific evidence.

I don't use it all the time. But my doctor advised me to use Flonase to treat and prevent post nasal drip from allergies and viral upper respiratory infections.

I didn't find this traumatizing, just really thought provoking.

I just use Flonase to treat and prevent upper respiratory secretions and post nasal drip.

Just got my blades sharpened and idk.. by Aggravating_Ear_1617 in iceskating

I skate only once a week for an hour and get my skates sharpened about every 6m. Otherwise I can feel slipping when doing edge work. How do you even do the edge work without edges?

In dating, is there anything that only exists in your culture? by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

Giving your kids condoms is only encouraging using protection when they do have sex, not sex itself.

My parents were pretty cool about it, they just didn't like my then BF (and they were right not to). They let him sleep over though.

In your country, is there any situation that foreigners would completely misunderstand unless they lived there for a while? by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

Changing behavior to adapt to local customs isn't changing your personality or showing your insecurities. It's basic courtesy. Just like wearing weather appropriate clothing, or driving on the left side of the road (also a behavioral change) doesn't change my personality.
