I'm not the OP. But I'm a bit jaded as well. I come from a family of Trump voters. And moved to a very liberal city after leaving home. So most of the people I know fall into the two camps. The people who do not are few. But my sample is biased of course.

I dunno, artificial reefs seem like decent way to reuse them. If the metal was worth salvaging seems like the would have. Maybe too labor intensive? https://ocean.si.edu/ecosystems/coral-reefs/when-wrecks-become-reefs

No don't break up Steam. Standardize DRM and make digital games licenses ownable/transferable. I could see the EU eventually doing this.

I say this as someone who loves Steam but wants more ownership, in the games I "own".

(Pretending this is real) Is this even a good deal? $15 each time. Maybe 1% chance for a break in. You end up paying on average $1500 to stop a break in.

Learning about characteristics of any new planets: Size, temperature, chemical makeup, etc. Increases our understanding of physics or confirms our current theories. "Oh I didn't know gas Giants could be this small!" "We're noticing a lot more exo gas Giants then we predicted, is our measurements off? Maybe our understanding of how solar systems form is incomplete?"

This has direct impact on research on global warming or even terraforming nearby planets. And indirect impact on countless other forms of research that require a deep understanding of physics.

I say all this not to change your mind, since you seem pretty set in your ways. But more for others who might follow this thread

I was being slightly hypobolic. Because yes there are strawberries under 2000 as well. Even 800 yen is high compared to the states.

Japan also washes them. Just not all.

Don't worry. All the savings on eggs are destroyed by 2000 yen strawberries. And rice is incredibly high right now, up about double in the last year.

Yea these were in a heavily touristy spots. So I don't blame them.

No, I've never experienced anything like that. Even in small towns. I'm sure it happens, but I don't think it's common as long as you're respectful.

The worse thing I've personally seen were no foreigner signs on bars during new years eve.

Japan. I had an offer from an EU country that logically would have been a better choice. But I couldn't resist my inner child/weeb.
