I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.

I think a lot of times that’s just lack of familiarity bc the better restaurants are newer.

There is good Latino food in the midwest and northeast now. Just look for smaller restaurants, or food trucks.

They are “journalism vegans”. They are choosing to abstain from actual journalism for clickbaiting, herd mentality, and personal lack of skill reasons.

Yeah, it’s frustrating to be in that position. Some communities I can post to, but some I only have comments to contribute.

This person evil genies!

One consideration is: is there an “evil genie / monkey’s paw” caveat to this? Like, maybe someone’s death is postponed, but they are in terrible agony every second until then. Or maybe they die on Mars, but a dictator destroys Earth in the process of getting us there.

That might make a half-decent sci-fi story. Like: someone gains this capability, but they have a notion that there’s an evil-genie caveat to it. So they try to advance science, but just a little bit at a time; basically they are experimenting to make sure there’s no such caveat (and to get around it, if there is.) However, they are leaving a trail of the dead. And at the end, it turns that while no individual death/accomplishment had a monkeys-paw-like side-effect, all of the deaths combined resulted in a terrible downside.

Same. I’d save it for myself in case I was being tortured by terrorists or received a terminal diagnosis or something.

I used to have a favorite Zen koan, but I no longer feel an attachment to it. (/jk)

The thing is, a lot of the humor in that movie is like not that funny when you first see it, but then a couple days later out of nowhere you suddenly think: “He has a wife, you know…” And you’re like: why did I think that? Oh yeah it’s from the Life of Brian! That was hilarious!

“Blessed be the Cheesemakers…?”

“All I said was: that halibut was good enough for Jehovah!”

“Worse? How could I be making it any worse?”

“you are ALL INDIVIDUALS!!!”

“He’s not the messiah! He’s a very naughty boy!”

fml I’m dead…

Sorry to hear that, fam. My BFF had cancer but luckily health insurance covered it. It was still a nightmare.

Droppin knowledge, fam. I feel like I’m at a barbeque and we’re all sitting around shooting the breeze.
