We need a community for something like a banned on reddit therapy group. For people wgaf.

How can you live anonymous? Off the grid maybe in a log hut in the woods. If you're in a vehicle, you'll need license plates. If you buy land there needs to be a name on the deed. You can obscure those maybe behind company names if you make the effort. But there will be a paper trail.

If you buy land, you might as well invest into a more comfy tiny house with solars on the roof and dig a nice pit for the toilet. Keep chicken and grow veggies or something.

"More than 40 years after the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster and the end of the Teacher in Space program, Superman was chosen to lift a crew of exclusively science teachers into orbit today. Unfortunately, he was struck by an asteroid containing kryptonite at an altitude of approximately 120 miles. As a result, the vessel and Superman burned up in the atmosphere. The chief of NASA has resigned. The president has ordered Space Force to mount an attack on the planet Krypton."

You cannot escape generalizations. Case in point: "rest of the world." There is no such thing. So the best you can aspire to is the subordinate clause apostille. "X is Iranian but fled from the mullahs." "Y is American but a Sanders type socialist." I don't have any idea why these two nationalities came into my head first.

Find your subordinate clause and live it. Actions speak louder than Insta posts.

You could get yourself an espresso and enjoy a good article.

They struggle with what they call AI still so not any time soon. Welcome to the hockey stick.

Get a video camera to film you while you write and screen record what you do on your laptop. That way you have proof that you didn't use models. And I'm only half joking.

As much as I loathe to suggest this: maybe you should try to prompt some models on topics you write on. Just to see what it spits out so you can avoid sounding alike. Same for visuals it would come up with.

Or you could see if some industrious fellow student has found a copy of the software the faculty use to do a trial run. It may have fallen off a truck somewhere. Happens all the time! Just make sure you protect yourself.

The "zero occupant problem"

The fact that this has a name is such an indictment of failures in urban planning. I'm going to assume an American coined the term because a lot of other places have not fought the idea of public transport as much as the American automobile industry.

There is an argument that a connected Borg collective of self driving cars would be capable of running vehicles with smaller gaps in between them, thus reducing congestion and improving efficiency in traffic.

Yet you created a new account here just to bitch about that. What does that make you? The petulent teenager?

I don't think you're teaching your kids not to lie. You are teaching your kids the situations the community you're in has decided when it's okay to lie and when not. We package this as this sort of absolute philosophy but it's not. It's very flexible and hard to navigate.

You have probably lied to your kid that you're out of snacks or that you forgot to bring your wallet to buy more snacks. Or that Santa exists. Kids will eventually pick up on these things.

Stop generalizing the US and the West. Is Japan all the same everywhere? I'm gonna say no. Why should an even bigger country be then? Or another somewhat nebulously defined area that's bigger still?

What the average Japanese person would think a rowdy crowd is the average American's idea of enjoying a communal experience. One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist.

If you go see a kids movie you'll have some parents on their phones as well. The bad behavior is creeping in in Japan too. Plus, a lot of the movies arrive half a year or so later than a lot of other countries. And it's more expensive in my experience. Just for some perspective.

I suspect you look at the term "the West" and you think you're not part of that. You're "the East" if anything. If a jihadist screams "death to the West" they include Japan in there. You are a democracy, a developed nation, and you rely on the US for security, and you are not practicing Muslims either. A person in Central Europe could look at "the West" and might include Finland and Sweden in there but maybe not Ukraine or Bulgaria. And what do we do about Russia? West of Japan, east of Europe. Very big and shouldn't be generalized either. "The West" is an empty vessel people fill with lazy assumptions.
