    I’m not entirely sure those existed in '30s Alergia though and we are talking about a guy whose mother had been living with him until pretty recently and is dragging his heels on talking to his landlord about a different lease. Moving all his shit into one room is just his temporary solution to the issue…it’s just there’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution. Especially when you end up getting arrested for murder.

    Also that doesn’t explain the dishes thing.

    That’s why we must take inspiration from Absurdism and it’s heroes and imagine Sisyphus happy wait wrong Camus book, you gotta just move all your furniture into your living room/kitchen so you only ever have to clean one room and just eat your meals out of the pot you cooked them in. Or get yourself arrested so you don’t even have to think about that bullshit.


  • This doesn’t sound like they’re charging extra if you’re over a certain weight, which is what a lot of people here seem to be assuming. Its data collection for future designs.

    People are aware that you get charged for overweight baggage for health and safety reasons, right? Anything over about 20 kilos is too heavy for a single person to safely handle so they have to get two people to do it, which costs more time and money. I would be very genuinely surprised if a few dozen more kilos from overweight baggage and people would be enough to seriously impact a plane’s flight unless you’re on a small town hopper









  • Alternatively you could go to your local Asian mart and look at the brands there. Huy Fong didn’t invent sriracha by a long shot, and you should be able to find both the familiar squeezy bottle stuff and the more ‘traditional’ stuff that’s runny and in a glass bottle. It tastes a little different but it’s really good for dipping stuff in.

    Hell where I live (over in Scandinavia) most sriracha is flying goose brand, which is Thai. It also comes in like a billion flavours which are pretty damn good. Huy Fong is like the ‘fancy’ American import stuff


  • Because the point of unicode is to accurately depict every sort of writing regardless of format, not to make a neat table of every unique glyph. Fonts may want to render the two differently or treat them differently. Same reason why there’s a difference between an em dash and a quotation line mark

    Same reason why unicode is full of random characters that only ever appear like thrice in some Russian coptic manuscript from the 3rd century - it’s about being able to depict something, not perceived usefulness

    Also excuse my ignorance, but who’s Uriel? Because right now I just have the mental image of a very upset archangel which I’m guessing is not what you’re referring to. I mean it could be - I’m pretty sure unicode would fall under his domain of literature


  • I’d add for the “school in English/dominant spoken language” part (because compared to the other it doesn’t seem that bad) in a quite a few cases it stems from a previous active effort to suppress a culture that was never really ‘fixed’, not simply just “eh I don’t understand so why do I have to cater for it?”.

    If you’re European, chances are you can name a good few examples that happened in your borders, both as something you did or something that was used against you

    In Australia I had the option to learn Japanese and then when I went over to Europe my school specifically had a Chinese option, both for “facilitating trade and future relations”

    Ngl years later I kinda only use my Chinese skills when I’m at the Chinese market and I’m trying to find the right ingredients for something, and I reckon out of my entire class I probably benefited the most out of taking the language. It isn’t the cultural trade exchange they were hoping for…but hey, it’s pretty useful being able to correctly identify stuff when the English stickers they plaster on the label are vague at best and incorrect at worst
