I disagree with the broad brush as not all westerners nor easterners would fit into that (see rural areas that suddenly got disposable travel income), you are right that Japan is far from perfect but we could all benefit from some exchange
Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.

Whilst this is not wrong and shame is a big motivator in Japan, some otherwise bored cops fining literers for a while would probably prevent that situation. On the other hand, I think maintaining some bins (infra to install and hardware + maintenance cleaning and maybe the odd security check) would be cheaper, beeter, and friendlier
We survive that way in Japan with almost no bins. Of course the odd person litters, but most don’t; if we can pack it in, we can pack it out. Now, if there were no bin inside the cafe, that would be idiotic.
Not sure what this is but, as a software developer, this screams “encoding issue” to me where it chooses the wrong encoding (or it’s getting saved in the wrong one) causing it to display as you see.
I was expecting an a magic lamp with a broccoli-shaped genie or something.
I still don’t see any settings to block PMs on the mbin side. I would at least like to filter to people I follow or something with the option to fully disable PMs.
FFS got another one after posting this.
I thought “slow poisoning” said “sin posturing” and was very confused.
It’s not my favorite day of the month and I suppose we could just stick a small month at the end of the year
This pissed of numerous pilots, per other sources, and actually did damage to morale. Adding the wrong person to a group chat is probably the most relatable mistake that could have been made. It was also found that there are other opsec failures. This isn’t some n-dimensional chess move; this is just the result of complete idiots.
