I was rereading through Dungeon Meshi and I only realized while going through the changeling chapters that Laios not recognizing that Dwarves have lower stamina and need more food than other races until after he was literally forced to walk a mile in their shoes is extra bad because Senshi isn't the first dwarf he's partied with; he had probably been regularly running poor Namari into the ground with zero recognition of how much she was suffering
truly do not know why you came into my inbox of all places with this, I'm not the person to randomly trash on a dunmeshi character in general, let alone Laios.
But for the record:
The whole chapter is about challenging the perspectives the characters have about on other based on their races, and making them realize more about each other (Chilchuck's age, why he avoids combat, dwarven stamina, half-foot mana limits, tall-men being bigger targets in fights, elven... elfiness not being just "put upon airs" as Senshi says)
Laios is explicitly so taken by how much he can carry and do as a dwarf that he over exerts himself faster than someone who has lived their whole life as a dwarf would. He doesn't know how to manage it as well. Other characters run into similar problems (such as Marcille casting a big spell and immediately getting hit with mana sickness as a half-foot)
The whole fucking manga is about the difficulties of understanding people across cultural and racial divides, and the importance of realizing how prejudices and assumptions can lead people to the wrong conclusions about those around them, even friends and family. Being willing to grow and change is more important than never getting something wrong in the first place.
Laios acknowledging his new understanding of dwarven physique, and even connecting it to ways his dwarven friends act (not wearing heavy armor, wanting to cook filling meals regularly) is actually pretty insightful and shows a curiosity and willingness to learn, imho.

The NHL has asked me to do stuff for them, whether that be social media, or interviews, or little promo things here and there, and I've always been willing to do it. And I kinda have been like their flag-bearer a little bit, like the token gay that they're kind of using to show that hockey is for everyone even though they're doing stuff on the outside that's completely opposite. So it felt like a stab in the back, a little bit, from them.

ollie and wicks invite bitty and jack on a double date but they are very unaware that ollie and wicks are dating. thoughts? (@gothlesbianlardo)
yesssss!
it's only as bitty sits down next to jack at the restaurant that he realises that this is actually an awfully fancy place to be just meeting up with college friends. like this is a place that he comes to for dinner with jack on dates, rather than somewhere he'd necessarily meet shitty for a catch up. he shakes off the thought though; maybe ollie or wicks is just a food snob? that feels like something he could expect from one of them.
bitty peruses the menu diligently, whilst ollie and wicks do the same, and he can't help but note, with a glance over his menu, that ollie and wicks are sat pretty close together. surely it can't be that comfortable? like surely their thighs would be touching? but maybe that's just what happens when you're two ginormous hockey players. bitty wouldn't know personally.
jack shuts his menu (he'd clearly already decided on his chicken tenders) and asks ollie and wicks about their post grad plans. bitty opens his mouth to say that he already knows, but he quickly realises, that he does not in fact know.
"oh!" ollie says, "we've got jobs at a couple of start ups here in providence actually! that's why we're here at the moment actually! and then we've put in an offer for a house out in pawtucket!"
wow. a house is definitely a big investment for just two best friends, but ollie and wicks have always been codependent. it's no more than what ransom and holster would do.
it's only at the end of the evening, after a very lovely meal, that bitty realises that the two of them have only been speaking in the first person plural all night. we this, and us that, and our whatever. but what really tips him off is when ollie and wicks share a quick kiss before walking to their (their!!) car.
bitty turns to jack "wow i did Not realise they were dating."
jack blinks. "wait, they're dating?"
bitty stares at jack incredulously. "honey, they literally just kissed. did you think that was platonic?"
"shitty kisses me like that all the time. i saw ransom and holster shares like six kisses yesterday alone."
okay, that's a good point.
