It's not like big businesses have no political influence in Japan. If anything, there's historically more cross-over, but, they have plenty of bullet trains.
For sure, "live like it's your last day" is a very different thing, and not good advice. You should take your chance at making a memory when it comes (within reason), but you should also go to work (preferably at a job you can at least tolerate).
There's things that don't fall in either category that you have to ration, though. Slot machines seem like a pretty uncontroversial example. Gaming or streaming can be worthwhile, YMMV, but few would argue every hour done has been worth it. Doomscrolling is a little bit of a self-own to put on Lemmy, but the same for that.
Basically, it seems like old us would want us to use time, not waste it.
Yes. Obviously, there's a whole lot of other axes at play here. What "race" and gender they are, how rich and powerful their parents were, if they had a career in computing or slide rule sales...
Just taken as a lump group, and compared to younger lump groups, though, there's no contest.
Sure, maybe. I guess until it's us young people's turn, it'll be hard to know how much is real, and how much is directionless crankyness or early dementia.
And FWIW there's dumber things to build a hierarchy around. The very young understand little.
Someone on Lemmy told me your body will hurt all the time in your 30's. On the subject, old people IRL were all like WTF, no. I'm guessing the cohort here is pretty sedentary.
Rampant discrimination against older people, especially women is crazy and something you don’t fully notice until you or your peers are affected directly.
I hear old people talk about this, but then they run every government and large business, have most of the money, and get like the majority of government services as well.
If this is a practical question, would you consider something like vermicompost poop? Sure, it's gone through a worm, but at some point of tiny and low-energy that becomes pretty indistinguishable from microbial action.
Otherwise, yeah, plain old compost. There's still going to be microscopic worms in there, but I have no idea how much of it actually goes through their digestive tract, in the end.
It's pretty shit on passenger trains in general, and that's just a very expensive, very hard to lay out passenger train.
