ALRIGHT TUMBLR, I MADE TEA WITH 7️⃣0️⃣ TEA BAGS

But Tim fought hard for his Mochaccino. He will get his prize. He earned this. 

He’s so worked up by the time he’s turning to leave, his blessed coffee in his hand, that he doesn’t even notice the person in his way until he’s slamming into his chest. 

Tim’s hand grips tighter on the coffee, more determined to keep his hold on that than his phone or keys, and thank god, he doesn’t drop the drink. But his phone and keys slip through his fingers, and the guy he just slammed into snatches them both out of the air.

“Oh, god, sorry—” Tim starts to say as the guy straightens up, and then he stops. The guy is smirking, a set of amused green eyes looking down at him.

You’ve got to be kidding, Tim thinks.

“Got somewhere to be, sweetheart? Oh, now that’s a pretty shade of red you’re turning—”

“I’m late,” Tim snaps, grabbing his keys and phone from Jason’s hand. “I got lost four fucking times on my way here. If this city was a person, I would throttle it.”

Dialogue with Gemini (17) About disaster: NHK, BBC

Noto Peninsula earthquake

My Question:

When the Noto Peninsula earthquake occurred in Japan in January 2024, NHK broadcast detailed information about the distribution of supplies every day, even in broadcasting areas that were not directly related to the affected areas. Isn't this excessive? As NHK calls itself "NHK of Disasters," it often takes an excessive reporting stance like the one described here when earthquakes and typhoons strike. Aren't these broadcasts a waste of airwaves? If this had been the British BBC, how would their reporting stance have been different?

２０２４年１月、日本で能登半島地震が起きた際、NHKは物資の配給に関する詳細すぎる情報を、被災地域とは直接関��のない放送地域でも連日放送していた。これは過剰なのではないか。NHKは「災害のNHK」と自称するだけに、地震や台風の襲来の際には、ここで述べたような過剰な報道姿勢をよく取る。これら放送の電波は無駄ではないのか？これがイギリスＢＢＣだったら、どのように報道姿勢は違うだろうか？

Gemini’s Answer:

NHK's extensive coverage of the Noto Peninsula earthquake and other natural disasters serves several important purposes:

Public Safety: Providing detailed information about supply distribution helps people in affected areas, as well as those who may be considering traveling there or sending aid, make informed decisions.

Community Support: Even in areas not directly impacted, the broadcasts can foster a sense of solidarity and encourage people to help those in need.

Preventive Measures: Detailed reporting on disaster response can help individuals and communities prepare for future emergencies.

While some might view this coverage as excessive, it's important to remember that Japan is a country highly prone to natural disasters. NHK's approach reflects a proactive stance towards public safety and preparedness.

The BBC, while still providing comprehensive coverage, might take a slightly different approach, focusing more on the disaster's human impact and the challenges those affected face. They might also delve deeper into the scientific and technical aspects of the earthquake and its aftermath.

Ultimately, the effectiveness of disaster reporting depends on the specific needs and cultural context of each country. Both NHK and the BBC play vital roles in informing and supporting their audiences during times of crisis.

Impression:

There was not enough consideration given to appealing to people from other regions.

But, at least for me, it was useless information, and I still feel resentful that other information was cut out.

NHK が能登半島地震やその他の自然災害を広範囲に報道したことには、いくつかの重要な目的があります。

• 公共の安全: 物資の配布に関する詳細な情報を提供することで、被災地の人々だけでなく、そこへの渡航や支援の送付を検討している人々が情報に基づいた決定を下すことができます。

• 地域社会の支援: 直接被害を受けていない地域でも、放送によって連帯感が生まれ、困っている人々を助けるよう促すことができます。

• 予防策: 災害対応に関する詳細な報道は、個人や地域社会��将来の緊急事態に備えるのに役立ちます。

この報道は過剰だと考える人もいるかもしれませんが、日本は自然災害に非常に弱い国であることを忘れてはなりません。NHK のアプローチは、公共の安全と備えに対する積極的な姿勢を反映しています。

BBC は、包括的な報道を提供しながらも、災害の人的影響や被災者が直面している課題に重点を置き、少し異なるアプローチを取るかもしれません。また、地震とその余波の科学的および技術的側面をさらに深く掘り下げるかもしれません。

結局のところ、災害報道の有効性は、各国の特定のニーズと文化的背景によって異なります。 NHK と BBC はどちらも、危機の際に視聴者に情報を提供し、支援する上で重要な役割を果たしています。
