In my case at least, it's not a matter of seeing a smoker in a public place, the smell starts irritating my nose and throat and then I have to play a game of "find the smoker". I agree that car exhausts are also harmful, I agree that we should also reduce driving as much as possible, but at least I can tolerate the smell of car exhaust much more easily if I have to be next to it. Everyone else seems to be able to enjoy their (outdoor) meal or concert, and I'd love to be able to get back to the point where I can think "yeah this is harmful, I should probably not subject myself to it" instead of "I can't breathe".
Ah, maybe the difference is that my parents smoked when I was very small. Eventually they both quit and now they both hate the smell. But yes, I also grew up before the smoking ban.
Fair enough. I guess it was so common when I was growing up that I never realised it.
A "simply explained" kind of book, "even foxes can understand".
Oh yes, I completely agree with you! I was saying this exact thing to my sensei some time ago and she couldn't understand what I mean, despite knowing a few foreign languages herself, Japanese is her native language so she couldn't judge it from the perspective of someone learning it as a foreign language. But I also like how everything is well-structured and it's also not full of exceptions. My husband only started learning a few months ago but he also agrees!
I hadn't realised the mistake in Japanese either until my sensei pointed it out, to be fair! 😅
Which Android version are you using? Can you try if this build works? https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/688#issuecomment-1594596500
Oh, "kon kon" is the voice of a fox in Japanese! https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%82%B3%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B3%E3%83%B3
Did it look like car window glass? Could it be that someone parked their car on the bike lane and someone else broke the glass in order to steal?
There's already an issue tracking this, you can follow it here: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/668
Oh, I was looking for a native Japanese instance but couldn't find one. Mind sharing some pointers?
I've seen conferences outright ban the use of scents because of people who get irritated by them. Fair enough, if you ask me.
