Yes, twice a couple of years ago. I also have been to other cities but several years ago and I thought maybe it was a recent popular thing. And yes, nearly all the way from the airport to the hotel the roads were flanked with that kind of billboards.

Many things. To say some...Billboards with lawyers advertising for things like demands after accidents. Like dozens one after another on the road.

So much sugar in everything. Last time I was there had to throw to the bin a yogurt. Was so sweet It was awful. Prices of "fresh" food.

Tips for everything. Going to a restaurant and have to tip like 20% of the bill, or even more, is crazy.

Wáter consumtion. Like big golf camps completely green in the middle of a desert (Vegas). When asked about It, people there just answered "no problem, we have the Hoover Dam for that".

Lack of public transport outside four or five big cities. And that just walking on the streets in some places is very strange fot the people living there. I was asked ten years ago in Palo Alto if I was Russian because I was not driving, just walking on the street!!

Sorry not sorry. Found another company that does not need to rob people and other companies to make money. Also: breaking the law should make this kind of people face grim consequences. But nothing will happen.

Reducing the time spent at work (insane in South Korea, more than 65 hours per week in many cases) seem not a problem for them. Also doesn,t seem to be a problem the insane cost in extra curricular classes children attend to there, a country where the majority of the children have to bear mad timetables,, with classes even finishing at 10PM at night. But again, women are to blame. And the solution is putting more pressure on them. Right. They are going to be very pleased with this, eager to have 6 children each and to spent a lot of his time like this. Sure.

Sumar is a mix of several parties, a coalition. Also, the first of the list is an independent person. Not all the parties compounding Sumar are integrated in the left or the greens. The first of the list, the independent one, will go to the left. Second and third on the list, will go to the greens, and the fourth one, from a party that is not integrated in the greens but in the left, will go to the left if elected. That is because Sumar is a coalition, several groups and parties got together for the elections. Representatives from each party can choose where group to go.

Another arrival due to APIpocalypse and the enshittification process that Spez started with Reddit.

You can show the also the other UIs for the web. Photon is quite decent, the default is not very attractive as you say.

Everything seems to be fine: I had to reload in all the apps and on the desktop. Just a thing, when using the phothon UI I had to manually delete my old session and open a new one with my account, because when I log on again there were two sessions for my account.

Hi:

Don,t know if this is the appropriate community to ask this question, so sorry if it is not. Here it goes. I opened my account yesterday and tried to suscribe to several communities, inside lemmy.world as well as in other instances.

The ones within lemmy.world gave me no problem, subscribed instantly, buy the others are "pending", and I suppose that someone has to approve my subscription. Is there any other reason? None of the communities are in kbin or beehaw (I am aware of the defederation). Maybe it is because I am new to Lemmy and haven't posted yet except for one comment yesterday?
