At the same time, sometimes driving license requirements feel like they are too high and a racket.

I got my scooter license by answering 48/50 questions right and doing a 4 hour practical course at the driving center to get it on the same day. I paid $50 to do it.

This license allows me to drive a 50cc bike like an Aprilia RS50, which can hit the speed limit when I drive it on the same roads as everyone else.

First aid is fair enough, but why do I have to pay $1500 to attend a driving school and answer 100 questions or pay $80 to take the 2% chance of passing it at the license test center (because the test is graded by cops and one of the cushy jobs for them before retirement is as advisors at driving schools) to be able to ride something that is marginally faster and heavier?

I think that a lot of people are missing this, my first Windows was Windows XP, so I’m pretty much used to doing everything through a GUI

I ignored Windows 8, and even 10 for a while, but that was because Windows 7 was still working and supported and still kinda is my favorite version of Windows.

Then at some point I just switched to 10 and been using it ever since while installing the occasional distro to see if I can move off of Windows (Answer is still no) or as an emergency desktop bootable USB

Ah, so just whataboutism

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.

I forgot where that button is because when I need a tab, I just open a random link on the page that I am on in a new tab and go where I need from there

You don’t even have to do it on the start button, any empty spot in the taskbar works

Can confirm the semi thing, worked for a national post carrier for few months and sometimes had to help load and unload trucks for international shipments.

It would basically be us playing Tetris with the packages until about chest level, then someone would have to climb on top of that stack to fill it up to the ceiling. The smaller stuff and mail bags just get yeeted into whatever gap that exists.

Even after all that, there wouldn’t be much space left, so package your stuff well I guess

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

Speak for yourself, I always enjoyed eating chicken nuggets even knowing that they are made from pink goop or whatever

Me somewhere Japan yesterday

It really is amazing how I can mess up Linux installs for the weirdest of reasons.

Install arch from scratch on a laptop? Now it either doesn’t go to sleep when you close the laptop or a kernel panick.

Manjaro? Edited the config for the touchpad (of course it’s a random config file that you have to change line by line and read 3 wiki pages for, because Linux) because it doesn’t feel like windows and ran updates from the built in manager within the os. Now it doesn’t boot at all and causes the boot logo to ghost while using windows 10 installed on another partition.

Pop_os? Worked mostly fine, used it for months, broke it only once when using the built in package manager somehow fixed it, but stopped using that laptop and now I can’t boot into it at all.

Not to mention all of the software that partially doesn’t work or work at all. Like, my personal choice for image editing is paint.net, it’s not a useless meme like MS Paint, but also isn’t the equivalent of using a bucket wheel excavator for digging a hole in your backyard like Gimp. It also doesn’t work on Linux at all

My local pizza place (in Japan) puts corn on pineapple pizza.

I might be a degenerate that enjoys pineapple on pizza, but corn is a strong no

Yeah, it’s the floaty feeling, I think that I had installed them, but IIRC you had to configure them by editing a config file and I couldn’t get it to work just right

I guess the Manjaro partition on my dual-boot laptop will finally be woken up for the first time in months

Side note: Anyone got advice on how to make my Synaptics touchpad work the same as it does on windows? That’s like my number 1 pet peve whenever I try Linux on my laptop

And not everyone who speaks it as their 2nd or 3rd language makes that mistake

I would guess that it’s either them noticing that they are wasting time or saying that you also are a “tea merchant” means that you are also doing the same scam and there is no point in 2 scammers wasting time talking to each other

That’s me

That’s what my phone is set at 24/7, the only time it makes a noise from the speakers is when the alarm goes off in the morning.

Say that under any thread about any billionaire and watch your comment get double digit downvotes
