I’m not the most experienced with Ubuntu, but the way that comes to mind is setting up shortcuts manually to try to match MacOS. It would be a bit tedious honestly. I’m hoping somebody comes along and knows of a library that already does that.

I feel like no one is addressing the fact that this shouldn’t be happening very frequently as your making it sound. Either you’re drinking too much, to the point of being alcoholic. That or something is wrong with your body.

Will look into that to see if that’s easier that what I currently do now. Thanks!

More or less what I have to do.

Will do.

The Indicator by Planet Money from NPR: they talk about what they feel are important indicators for the current economy, and expand on various economic topics in ways that I think anybody can understand, and are rather short.

The 1A from NPR: they talk about various topics that are affecting the US. They like to get people to chime in with their views, and have some experts on the topics to discuss context and how certain groups are or aren’t pushing for changes. Its usually close to an hour long, and not all topics interest me, but they do talk about fake news, presidential elections, housing, mental health etc.

Planet Money from NPR: longer form discussions of economics, somewhat similar to the Indicator, but not as short form and they really expand on economic stories that I think are really interesting. Some topics include how, many, random people, can relatively accurately determine the weight of a cow (and how this defines the economy), the real estate trail that recently occurred and its background.

Oh how interesting. this may be the closest thing to what the ops is asking

Like them both. But theyre both flawed.

Piped doesn’t seems to always work for me. Tldr bot doesñsn’t always provide vital information

Power over Western nations may have been a strong word, but they do have influence. We don’t know their plan, but we can look at past trends: they’ve attacked Georgia, they’ve attacked and controlled Crimea, they’re attacking and controlling parts of Ukraine. Not fighting Russia hasn’t stopped Russia, so with Russia now at war with Ukraine, stopping them there seems like a necessity. Maybe now they’ll learn that imperialism is dead, and looked badly on by other nations. They shouldn’t be rewarded for this bad behavior against our allies.

You’re right, the war could have been avoided, but Russia decided not to avoid war. All they need to do is leave ukraine and it will stop, but they won’t.

As it is now, Russia controlling as much oil as they do gives them power over us, them controlling Ukraine will also help them affect food prices as well as just encouraging them to continue to attack their enemies. Europe has significant reason to jump to prevent Russia’s advancement, European countries being our allies is another reason to stop Russia’s push into Europe.

Maybe a little. The US had a bill for providing 60bn so 100bn is quite a bit more, though maybe not significantly considering all the countries involved.

Not certain if trolling or just unfamiliar, but Republicans politicians are doing what they can to not get in Russia’s way or doing things that benefit Russia. For instance, Republicans aren’t really supporting providing additional funding to Ukraine. Republicans have also used an FBI informant who was bribed by Russia as evidence to try to impeach Joe Biden.

You’re completely missing the point of the OP. Reread his post and then reread yours to see how your’s is not helpful to his goals.

The OP is asking for inspiration related to a specific culture. Secluded boredom will not help you learn about things to write about a specific culture.

I don’t really think Japan has a worse issue than basically most other European and american companies. I’d be surprised if Japan has a higher shoplifting rate than the countries in the Americas to where individualized plastic wrapping is actually a deterrent. Maybe security theater i guess.

Speculating: I think its a form of marketing. In the US and in Europe, people don’t care too much about the thickness of the plastics but in Japan and some other asian countries, thick plastic wrapping is a sign of good quality.

LOL this russian bots. Lose too much? like their country?

That’s why I’m glad lemmy censors your password if you write it in a comment, For instance: /*******

Well china is completely anti free market.so I’m actually surprised more countries aren’t charging more tarrifs on them. Also, I don’t think most major countries are completely protectionist free.
