They feel physically threatened by gay dudes, or maybe they're a survivor and illogically view gay men as predators.

Japan has no laws against discrimination, and women are second class citizens in their society. So to think this same country would allow this is a joke.

It's fair to say that Asia will remain 50 years behind everywhere else with the exception of manufacturing facilities (courtesy of the west) and their urban infrastructure.

And people who actually think this country cares about morality or values should see how they have one of the most extensive human tr4fficking (aka sex) industries in the world. Disgusting.

You'll get through this. The feeling won't last.

This wasn't an opportunity. You could have lost the gig over anything. It's a joke. I understand you're worried about reputation, but unless you're in a village, they'll forget about you next week.

Use the energy from the feeling you're having now to create or find a better opportunity. There's lots of good info on here. Try things out. It doesn't have to be a permanent hustle. Do it to keep busy, meet people, and scout real opportunities. You can and will do better.

She's looking because she's feeling you. You really don't have to do much except start a conversation. You could even ask about or offer some kind of handyman or house staff work. That will give her an excuse to invite you over.

But find out if she has a husband because besides the fact that it's wrong to get with a married woman, he might be gangster. You don't want to look out your window and see these dudes waiting on you.

It's a government problem. The same issue exists in many developed places, but there's codes and enforceable law. But even there, these things happen. Many people have been ripped off or encountered all kinds of foul construction, but for various reasons, even in those places, they can't do anything about it except move or eat the costs.
Science/TechnologyRe: Styrofoam-munching Superworms Could Hold Key To Plastic Upcycling by Cousin9999(op): 8:48am On Jun 20, 2022

It's not about the worms. It's about better or new enzymes for breaking down waste.

And this is an especially important issue for Africans given how the west (and China) loves to pollute the continent with their garbage.
Science/TechnologyStyrofoam-munching Superworms Could Hold Key To Plastic Upcycling by Cousin9999(op): 8:19am On Jun 20, 2022
Packing material, disposable cutlery, CD cases: Polystyrene is among the most common forms of plastic, but recycling it isn't easy and the vast majority ends up in landfills or finds its way to the oceans where it threatens marine life.

Scientists at Australia's University of Queensland have now discovered that superworms—the larvae of Zophobas morio darkling beetles—are eager to dine on the substance, and their gut enzymes could hold the key to higher recycling rates.

Chris Rinke, who led a study that was published in the journal Microbial Genomics on Thursday, told AFP previous reports had shown that tiny waxworms and mealworms (which are also beetle larvae) had a good track record when it came to eating plastic, "so we hypothesized that the much larger superworms can eat even more."

Superworms grow up to two inches (five centimeters) and are bred as a food source for reptiles and birds, or even for humans in countries such as Thailand and Mexico.

Rinke and his team fed superworms different diets over a three week period, with some given polystyrene foam, commonly known as styrofoam, some bran, and others not fed at all.

"We confirmed that superworms can survive on a sole polystyrene diet, and even gain a small amount of weight—compared to a starvation control group—which suggests that the worms can gain energy from eating polystyrene," he said.

Although the polystyrene-reared superworms completed their life cycle, becoming pupae and then fully developed adult beetles, tests revealed a loss of microbial diversity in their guts and potential pathogens.

These findings suggested that while the bugs can survive on polystyrene, it is not a nutritious diet and impacts their health.

Next, the team used a technique called metagenomics to analyze the microbial gut community and find which gene-encoded enzymes were involved in degrading the plastic.

Bio-upcycling

One way to put the findings to use would be to provide superworms with food waste or agricultural bioproducts to consume alongside polystyrene.

"This could be a way to improve the health of the worms and to deal with the large amount of food waste in Western countries," said Rinke.

But while breeding more worms for this purpose is possible, he envisages another route: creating recycling plants that mimic what the larvae do, which is to first shred the plastic in their mouths then digest it through bacterial enzymes.

"Ultimately, we want to take the superworms out of the equation," he said, and he now plans more research aimed at finding the most efficient enzymes, then enhancing them further through enzyme engineering.

The breakdown products from that reaction could then be fed to other microbes to create high-value compounds, such as bioplastics, in what he hopes would become an economically viable "upcycling" approach.

Styrofoam-munching superworms could hold key to plastic upcycling.
