Obviously minority lives don’t matter, that’s why I only believe in one race, white people.

Now that I think about it, I’m kind of surprised this wasn’t a plot to an old Disney movie. It wouldn’t involve any kind of acceptance of transitioning, Disney would have never included something like that.

You’re right, my previous comment doesn’t quite follow the wholesome theme here.

Many commenters are under the impression that the train is leaving the station solely to pick up this student, drop her off at school, and then travel back to the station. That would make sense if it was a taxi of some sort and she was the only passenger. However, trains in Japan have long routes, multiple stops, and pick up many, many passengers along the way. Keeping this stop for this student might add a few minutes to the total time it takes the train to run its full route but in no way is it a dramatic waste of resources and time that some people here are claiming. I’ve ridden on trains in Japan with hundreds of passengers that traveled hundreds of miles. Sometimes a train would make a stop in a rural area to pick up a few folks and other times we’d stop in a major city and pick up dozens of people. If one of those rural stops were nixed, I (as an existing passenger on the train) would barely notice a difference (maybe save a few minutes on my route), but I would bet the few folks who depend on that stop would be severely inconvenienced and struggle to find alternative means of transportation.

ITT: people who have no clue how a train route works

Obviously the train goes to multiple stops on its route. For there to be one more stop is not the equivalent of a personal train sent only for her and no one else.

free clothing at the laundromat

Haha, one part of me is wondering if your local laundromat has a free bin, and the other part is thinking you snuck in a joke about taking clothes out someone else’s drier.

Either way, great list!

Also, check out your local “buy nothing” groups. Basically the only reason I still have facebook.
