  • My use name is cobbled together from a word list of Tolkiens valarin language. Akasan means story telling and the -Z suffix makes it a personal name. I thought the extra h would aid in pronunciation, but I’m practise most people just say aka.

    My avatar it’s my own Photoshop of one of the doges of Venice, with a Shibu face. Mind that I made this before musk ruined the doge meme and I won’t let him run this. A clan mate took it, drew a mustache+soul patch on it and made the texts instead of historical, lewd as she thought that more appropriate (I do sport a mustache and soul patch irl)




  • Other perspective from the Netherlands:

    We have trash bags we can buy (€1,20 per bag) for general household waste. Plastics, metal containers and drink cartons go in a separate bag (0,15 per bag). These go out on the street for pickup.

    Glass, plastic drink containers goes back to the shop for refund. Glass without caution goes in containers, separated by color.

    For paper and organic waste we have a rolling bin that goes out on a separate date.

    Clothes that can be reused go in a special container (or to a reshare store)

    For most other things (furniture, building waste, furniture, chemicals) indeed the milieustraat is the place, though household materials that can be re used we drop at the recycling store.


  • On but your last sentence, I disagree.

    I hate the current division in waiting staff, consisting of order takers and servers, I feel like anyone should be able to take a simple order and communicate it to their colleges who do the order taking.

    Or at least they should try, of it’s too complicated and they don’t have time they should at least stop and say ‘I’ll direct my colleague your way’.

    I’ve had people just tell me they don’t take orders and then just move away, sometimes without even alerting the staff that can take orders.

    That last bit is really vexing me, it has no place in hospitality.
