I bet this works nominally better, but I just heat the pan with oil. I can’t be arsed to wipe screaming hot oil out of a pan only to reintroduce new cold oil and have to contemplate whether it could possibly make a difference and either feeling like an idiot for blindly following such an absurd direction, or like an idiot for not understanding the scientific grounds for which it works.

I bet it will be more like Prime where they display everything they own to tempt you, but there’s an increasing number of additional subscriptions you actually need to access the content.

Have you seen North American public transportation?

Yeah, I have a “choice”, but it’s 60-85 minutes on 3 busses or a 12 minute drive to get to and from work.

It should be, but vampires are alluring which belies their evil. That’s the cautionary part of the fiction.

Is Bezos a soulless ghoul cannibalizing the festering, necrotic wound of poverty which he grows larger every day? Yes, and in no way can that be conflated to being sexy.

Ghoul is the only really good one in the list. Its a generic feind thats in no way cool.

Rogues and vampires are cool.

Sycophant is good when someone’s being a sycophant. But you can be independently ghoulish.

Dog on the Road

Do you remember LoZ Wind Waker? Maybe it’s the nostalgia goggles, but ripping through the open water just felt good. I don’t even think it was particularly mechanically fun. Maybe it was just the music.

Real estate is a good example of the trickiest thing about “simple” wealth tax.

I bought a house, and 20 years later I have to pay more taxes because my neighbourhood is more desirable?

Okay, easy solution, you get one free house you need to reside in for x% of your time per year.

But say I bought a painting from a local artist, even a friend, and decades go by and they’ve gone on to become ultra famous. Do I now have to pay more tax because I possess something that has become valuable?

Obviously thats a very unlikely scenario, but you can see the principle issue.

That’s defeatism.

Your house is falling into disrepair yet you’ve been sweeping the floors and cleaning the dishes for decades.

Yes, it needs major work, and no, it can’t be fixed with brooms and sponges.

Looks like Baron Trump to me

Crust is the best part of any food intended to have a crust!

Is it like that cilantro-soap thing in people’s genes?

Because you’re absolutely right and it’s absolutely baffling that the company still makes chocolate after WWII when it was presumably used to booby trap MREs against Nazi looters.

Hot take! We’ve got a hot take over here!

CAPITAL LETTERS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN THE LESSER LOWER CASE. PHIL, LINGUIST

Uh, apartments are small and house parents with their children… aka a nuclear family. So, checkmate, library.

/s (jesus christ it’s depressing that’s necessary)

I think it could be dangerous given the limited scientific literacy of the general public.

I can imagine a slew of issues where people treat it like fat/calories and assume lower is “better”, or where other people think it’s like a vitamin and high is “better”.

I think 95% of people wouldn’t look, but that last 5% would be a mix of people that use it to their benefit as you suggest and people that misuse it as I cynically assume.

Mollusks have been invading our country, illegally , and so too must be deported at great expense to El Salvador.

Removed by mod

Let the prisoners run the prison? Absolutely not.

Force the prisoners to fill the labour shortage? Well now you’re spreading their language.

All sorts of businesses should get an exemption.

It’s a demonstrably fact that the materials needed for Nikes aren’t available in the United States.
