Mesmerizly pretty girl explains what not to do in Japan

SDGundamX says...

She forgot to mention you don't tip here. Ever. If you ever want to have some fun at a restaurant, try leaving a tip on the table and then wait in the parking lot for the staff to come sprinting out to return your money.

Other things to watching out for--blowing your nose loudly. You shouldn't blow your nose at all, really, if you're trying to be Mr./Miss Manners but if you absolutely must do it, you should blow as quietly as possible. I have no idea why this is a thing, but they actually prefer you to sniffle incessantly as you try to keep the mucus from dripping out of your nose to using a goddamned tissue--despite the fact that you will be handed packs of tissues at nearly every train station by people trying to advertise their services/products.

Also, at the end of the day, pretty much none of these rules apply to foreigners visiting Japan for tourism purposes. Tourism is way up here these days and Japanese people--especially in the Tokyo area--kinda expect tourists to be clueless about everything. The stuff she's mentioning really only applies if you're thinking of a longer-term stay where you might make some connections and actually have to give a fuck what other people here think because you're seeing the same faces every day.

Then again, I break almost all of these rules. I've been here long enough to see Japanese people break these rules and understand the times when it is acceptable. Or when I can get away with it due to "gaijin privilege." Gaijin privilege = not being expected to conform to Japanese societal rules since I'm not Japanese--and would never be considered Japanese even if I were to get Japanese citizenship.

Why are there dangerous ingredients in vaccines?

Sniper007 says...

Our bodies are best at responding to pathogens that enter our system normally - over mucus membranes, through skin contact, and via ocassional inadvertent ingestion and inhalation.

Directly injecting pathogens (and a whole host of other known toxins) straight into the bloodstream puts their bioavailability at 100%, instantly. These damaging elements have perfect access to the brain, and all other internal organs, giving the body's almost no chance whatsoever to deal with the invading harmful elements. You can expect to see symptoms manifest in minutes, hours, or days - and this is exactly what you do see in vaccine related injuries.

Aluminum, formaldehyde, cyanide, and other elements we do eat, and are harmless when found embeded in their naturally occurring places. Injecting those refined elements (mixed together with all kinds of other poisons) directly into the bloodstream is no where close to eating un-refind foods that have the same elements bonded to other molecules which render them intert or beneficial.

What is the bioavailability of aluminum found in a banana when eaten?

What is the bioavailability of that same quantity of aluminum when the banana is pulverized and injected into the bloodstream?

What is the bioavailability of that same quantity of aluminum when it's refined, and no part of the banana except the aluminum is injected directly into the bloodstream?

Their description of the actual affect of the aluminum in particular is incomplete. Aluminum is a known neural disruptor. If it reaches the brain directly (remember, bioavailability is at 100%) the aluminum will disrupt neurons. This may result in some cases in a neural disruption. Did you know autism is a known neural disruption?

CONVERSATION: The Argumentative Theory (Brain Talk Post)

gwiz665 says...

It's over-simplifying to say "there's a gene for reasoning". It's not like baking a cake.

Everything existed before it was invented. Mona Lisa is just a rearranging of elements that make up paint. An engine is just rearranging metals. Michelangelo's David is just marble cut out in a certain form.

Logic is a purely theoretical concept and of course that is "eternal". The idea of it existed before anyone really had the idea. You can argue that French existed before Frenchmen did - no one had ever used it, but in theory it existed before.

Nosepicking is a byproduct of us evolving mucus glands and hair in our nose to protect our airways from dust and dirt.

Some animals can do rudimentary reasoning too, like identifying which objects are dangerous. Learning from their mistakes as well. It is likely that earlier versions of humans were favored in the natural selection to have more offspring, and that's why we all have the big brain we have now. The only reason we don't see evolution in action, actively growing or shrinking our brains now, is that it's very slow. People are generally taller now than they were 3 generations ago - that's evolution in action. Taller people have more offspring, therefore we get taller on average - that's evolution by natural selection.

How does that not make sense to you? It makes far more sense to me than "god did it" or "it happened by chance" which are essentially the same argument.

Digestive Actions of the Human Stomach

BoneRemake says...

Chyme (from Greek "χυμός" - khymos, "juice"[1][2]) is the semifluid mass of partly digested food expelled by the stomach into the duodenum. In other words, chyme is partially-digested food.[3]

Also known as chymus, it is the liquid substance found in the stomach before passing through the pyloric valve and entering the duodenum. It results from the mechanical and chemical breakdown of a bolus and consists of partially digested food, water, hydrochloric acid, and various digestive enzymes. Chyme slowly passes through the pyloric sphincter and into the duodenum, where the extraction of nutrients begins. Depending on the quantity and contents of the meal, the stomach will digest the food into chyme anywhere between 40 minutes and a few hours.

With a pH of around 2, chyme emerging from the stomach is very acidic. To raise its pH, the duodenum secretes a hormone, cholecystokinin (CCK), which causes the gall bladder to contract, releasing alkaline bile into the duodenum. The duodenum also produces the hormone secretin to stimulate the pancreatic secretion of large amounts of sodium bicarbonate, which raises the chyme's pH to 7 before it reaches the jejunum. As it is protected by a thick layer of mucus and utilizes the neutralizing actions of the sodium bicarbonate and bile, the duodenum is not as sensitive to highly acidic chyme as the rest of the small intestine.

At a pH of 7, the enzymes that were present from the stomach are no longer active. This then leads into the further breakdown of the nutrients still present by anaerobic bacteria which at the same time help to package the remains. These bacteria also help synthesize vitamin B and vitamin K.

Food Ad Tricks - Making A Commercial Burger

Winstonfield_Pennypacker says...

TV shows and movies aren't directly selling a product.

Oh-ho-ho-yes they ARE! They're selling you a fake image of life that they want you as a viewer to try and live through vicariously. And you're spending something a lot more valuable than a few bucks. You're spending your TIME. In order to get you to watch their show, they portray a completely unrealistic existence that couldn't possibly happen in reality. They're just like the advertisers, except they're soaking you for time, imagination, and perception of reality instead of a couple bucks for a burger.

I hate the way that they try to trick us out of our money, but for the most part in the end we get the corporations we deserve.

I have never cottoned to this whole 'they trick us into buying stuff we don't want' crud. Baloney. The ad shows a hot, delicious burger. When we go to the restaurant we get a hot, delicious burger. There is no trick. It would be a trick if you went to the Burger King and got a cold, disgusting ball of mucus. But you get what the ad talked about, so I don't see what is to 'hate' here. You hate the fact that they are making you aware of their product? Oh nos!

pre-cum n. 1. tasty beverage.2.or pre-ejaculatory fluid is a clear, mucus-like liquid that can be expelled through the urethra and out of the tip of the penis during male sexual arousal. It is secreted from the Cowper glands, and may contain both sperm and STDs. There is no way to control pre-cum, and the amount can vary from man to man and situation to situation.(Cory Silverberg, uggggh, -About.com) 3.arriving early with advance notice.Thoughtful,courteous. 4.Additive(hom.euph.)-an amount of money paid above the regular price.
