Agriculture was a mistake.

Have fun and evolve

There’s another snide line. Even if we only have a couple texts to go off of, that kind of dialogue is rarely effective and usually comes from shit people

The dad literally said “no objections”. Sounds like he’s trying to control his child. Even if the kid can say no, the dad is still being an asshole.

The “no objections” line was a bit much. Regardless of what someone thinks is best for them, no one should try to force a date on their child.

First of all, this was a long time ago and I’m now happily married. Second of all, it’s okay for people to not couple up.

I think a lot of people here are missing the point. It’s not whether the child of this guy can go on the date or not. It’s that the father is being an asshole. My mom would do this shit to me all the time. I never went on any of the dates but it was still annoying as hell.

Botswana? Went there a decade ago and this was a common occurrence

It’s why my mother in law never visits. I am externally grateful for earthquakes

When are we going to stop caring about human rights and start caring about billionaires???

Eliminating lead products has been a lot more feasible than the impossible task of eliminating microplastics. They are in everything. So unfortunately Gen Z and onward will suffer with us millennials.

Funny how with every case he solves, it’s the dog who did it

Something tells me they hate themselves but they’d need some kind of self awareness or a soul for that, so maybe not

I know, I know, but really, it’s better than any actual dating app.

Let’s not get tied up in semantics but the idea that you can’t “accidentally” shoot someone is nonsense. Whether you call it negligence or not, if it’s not on purpose, then it’s an accident.

You’re right, my previous comment doesn’t quite follow the wholesome theme here.

Many commenters are under the impression that the train is leaving the station solely to pick up this student, drop her off at school, and then travel back to the station. That would make sense if it was a taxi of some sort and she was the only passenger. However, trains in Japan have long routes, multiple stops, and pick up many, many passengers along the way. Keeping this stop for this student might add a few minutes to the total time it takes the train to run its full route but in no way is it a dramatic waste of resources and time that some people here are claiming. I’ve ridden on trains in Japan with hundreds of passengers that traveled hundreds of miles. Sometimes a train would make a stop in a rural area to pick up a few folks and other times we’d stop in a major city and pick up dozens of people. If one of those rural stops were nixed, I (as an existing passenger on the train) would barely notice a difference (maybe save a few minutes on my route), but I would bet the few folks who depend on that stop would be severely inconvenienced and struggle to find alternative means of transportation.

ITT: people who have no clue how a train route works

Obviously the train goes to multiple stops on its route. For there to be one more stop is not the equivalent of a personal train sent only for her and no one else.

How very ableist of you.
