Been there, and I definitely was not capable of texting xD

No they're there, however there aren't trash bins once you leave the food vendor. If you walk away then you're responsible for the trash. So people just finish eating and dispose the trash there. Even if it's a stall or food truck, you can hand your trash back to the staff, they will happily accept it.

If it's for carry-out, people will pack their trash for disposal at home (you'll see a ton of people walking around with backpacks and totebags).

Yeah for this reason, you don't see this culture of eating/drinking while on-the-go in Japan lol. It's too inconvenient. It's something that tourists have to adjust to. But it's nice - the country is very clean and beautiful, no trash in sight. You might see some little old lady picking up a piece of trash that isn't even hers lol. That's the pride they take in their country.

Also there's an important difference in Japan that should be mentioned. A lot of the success is due to shame culture. You will feel like a bad person and get the side-eye for littering.

As far as this sign in England - I think suddenly taking away all the trash bins for a place that relies on them would be a disaster! But if that's the plan, then maybe taking only some away here and there could work over time. People need to be trained after all lol.

Guilty as charged. Me watching horror game let's plays too

Cheap eats, love it

Well I got this silly image of an iguana floating on a log raft now

Made a chili with Guinness in it that I'm finally getting to sit down and enjoy. Totally worth it. :)

Pretty! It's a lot lighter than the ones in my area

Shook the couch for me, heard the plates shaking a bit

Leftover pasta's good! I think it soaks in the flavors more the day after.

There are animals that act nurturing towards other species' young too! Maybe it's a combined net benefit to be a little indiscriminate when caring for little ones.

My partner thinks in words and hears his own voice as an inner monologue. It's like saying what you're thinking but not out loud, like "I should go to the store to pick up some milk. I'll do that after I finish this episode. What's the time right now? Oh it's 10:15am." Something like that. Completely bizarre for me to wrap my head around because I think in images and feeling. If the thought is associated with a sound, I'll imagine that sound. But I have no inner voice narrating whatsoever.

It matches the way we prefer to learn too. He prefers to learn by reading. He finds videos or images tedious because to him, they don't convey information fast enough. Whereas I prefer to learn visually or hands-on and might have some difficulty understanding the reading material.

It's more either or, but whether your thoughts are spoken (hearing your thoughts) or images (seeing your thoughts) is a good one. Makes for an interesting conversation to have with friends and family!
