No, I lived in Japan and have visited all over. It's more an issue in men's bathrooms than in women's to not have soap, based on my conversations. In women's bathrooms, it's common to not have toilet paper, and people carry around tissues. This is more of a city thing than a rural thing. In the cities, people pass out tissue packets with advertisements in them (as a job) and people carry those around and use them in the restrooms.

Edit: It might be the case that places which have more tourists don't have this problem as much. That's still not my experience, however.

So many bathrooms in Japan don't even have hand soap or toilet paper. I can't possibly imagine this taking off.

How old were you then? What was your internet quota? It's so interesting to hear how different age groups or demographics interacted with the same content.

Oh man, I forgot how much I used to read bash.

It shouldn't matter if they're a tech billionaire or a real estate billionaire or whatever else. Focusing on people in tech doesn't help with the class war; most people who work in tech are part of the 99%.

I don't eat a whole lot of junk food, but Andy Capp's Hot Fries are far and away superior to Hot Cheetos. One of few true total junk foods that I do occasionally eat.

I'm reminded of a quote from some animated(?) movie that I can't recall. It was along the lines of "the same as yesterday, and the day before that and the day before that" in a dejected tone.

If anybody could help me figure out what that was, it would be much appreciated.

Edit: It was A Nightmare Before Christmas. My mind replaced "year before that" with "day before that".

I don't think it has no good use cases. But this book uses it to a fault.

The article doesn't go into much in the way of details, so I can't begin to say how it might extend into the treatment of other cancers, but it does make it clear that this treatment is specifically for melanoma only. Which is great--it's a deadly cancer. But without more information, we shouldn't get too excited about this being able to treat other types of cancer.

You seem unpleasant.

The in-laws know I love to cook and got me a (to me, they're familiar with the author through some TV show) random cookbook. It's aimed at people who don't know how to cook and lack confidence trying. Also who cook with things like Velveeta and cream of mushroom soup.

I mostly eat from-scratch Asian food.

To those who use the jarred garlic, you should try getting a small food processor. It makes getting a bunch of minced garlic a breeze, and there really is a big difference.
