This is probably about Amy Cooper, who was walking her dog in Central Park when a man who was bird watching asked her to leash her dog (as was required in the area). She refused and had a fit telling him that she would call the police and tell them there was an African American man threatening her. She calls the police and suddenly is breaking down sobbing about the black man threatening her all the will choking her dog as she drags it around. But the man she was threatening was recording the whole thing and it’s pretty horrifying. It sorta went viral and she lost her job and her dog over the matter.

Oh! Because we think that planned parenthood is all about abortion and disregard the life-saving health services it provides (predominantly impoverished) women!
I could probably enjoy the joke if it weren’t that so many people really believe that.

I had the same question. I guess it means go back to 10%

Scorpio fish?

Pufferfish?

I notice they are slightly different, and I imagine the Japanese version uses the traditional character, whereas most who speak Chinese use simplified characters. Simplified Chinese was introduced in the 1950s. I think the borrowed characters that the Japanese use are all traditional Chinese characters. (Also used in Taiwan)

Yeah. They share some characters. So in this case the first character (黑 hei in Chinese) is the part of the word that describes black specifically (which is the part that is written the same) and the second character (色 se) is what describes it as a color (e.g. red is 红色，Hong se; blue is 蓝，lan se; etc). I imagine it is the same for Japanese.
I am fascinated by these shared characters that are written the same but sound different.

Or simply the lack of tolerance for people who are trying to speak another language. So many Americans only speak one language and then they get all indignant when people around them don’t speak two or three!!

Well, it costs a lot more. It’s cheaper to do it they way they do. And, if they preprinted the receipts, the specials A. Could not be tailored to the individual making the purchase and B. Could not change as frequently as they like.
To do a custom print on something like that is cost prohibitive without producing huge quantities.

Not if they want a dynamic print. Most receipts are printed on thermal paper, so they don’t use ink but heat to print text. The paper has to be coated in order to be reactive. It costs more to get the equipment that can print two sides and paper that is coated on two sides than it does to just print extra paper.
Generally when you see receipts with print on both sides, one side is a repeating pattern that is printed on the paper with ink before it is spooled and the dynamic/variable content is printed on the thermal sensitive side.

Those values are good for some people. And you should go ahead and live by them. Not everyone feels that way. We don’t live in the same world that developed those values.
We need representation of broad perspectives because your beliefs and values matter, and so do mine.
