Sea birds are particularly susceptible to plastic ingestion because some identify fish prey at the surface of the water by their reflective scales, shiny plastics look remarkably similar, so they dive down and gulp up the plastic, which explains the crunchiness of the larger pieces.
That’s why I’m backing Team Seas 
I love the details, like the shell bell and poke flute on the mantle to show that it’s a calm, caring hearth. And joltik helping out with the stitching (well, trying to help), and Anna’s scarf being a sizzlipede because it’s a fire type Pokemon, so a warming motif. They’re just all ways of making the short have more depth in the Pokemon world

China is expanding visa-free travel to five South American countries, the foreign ministry said on Thursday. Starting from June 1, citizens of Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay will be allowed to enter China without a visa and stay for up to 30 days for purposes such as tourism, family visits or business. The arrangements will be in place for one year.

It’s mostly plastic and ceramic bowls and plates in there, plus cutlery, I’ve got small drinking glasses and I usually just use them for water, or coffee and tea when there are no mugs free. So, I don’t really notice/mind that things go streaky. If it was full of things like larger glass tumblers or wine glasses I’d probably use the rinse aid tho
Yeah I figured something like that would be the case, I folk etymolygised in my mind it as (cara)van guard, like the few armed scouts agead of a group of people with a donkey making a trek along the silk road. I didn’t think of the French origin wrt avant being shortened to /van/. Interesting, thanks :)
That is the etymology of the word though… right?
imma keep it real w you dishwasher
Im not gunna fill your rinse-aid

Yeh same, most of my life I’ve lived in houses where the toilet was separate from the sink, so you had to open at least one door on the way. There are some really cool Japanese toilets I’ve seen where there’s a small handbasin above the cistern that runs after each flush. Seemed very efficient
