This feels like a relevant situation to bring up one of my favorite Terry Pratchett quotes:

The Sam Vimes “Boots” theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

You are right, doing something and teaching something are different. If you watched the video, you would also know you were wrong.

Make friends with the guy. He’s got some some stories. True or not, he’s got some stories.

No.

The only reason it is expanding is to keep up with inflation.

Same with Caribbean. Royal Caribbean and Pirates of the Caribbean both sound wrong if you use the alternate pronunciation.

Hmm, onions used to bother me a lot but I haven’t really thought about it in years. Apparently using a sharp knife makes a difference. At some point I got a nice knife set that I have been keeping sharp, and my onion issue disappeared but I didn’t realize until you reminded me.

How much do you really think they care about what the constitution says?

I live in Boston. I fully agree with you though in this situation the guy wasn’t in the bike lane, he was on the sidewalk.

The biker was on the sidewalk, not on the road, when he got hit, and went flying over the hood of the car.

I don’t know how anyone would be expected to play defense against that situation.

I honestly can’t remember how she looks with makeup on. She has worn it maybe a dozen times in the decade plus that I’ve known her.

She looks fine without it. She seems happy without it. I don’t really care either way.

Oh man, I watched this a couple weeks ago. It had probably been decades since I last saw it. It was just as awesome/terrible as I remembered.

Thank you.

Sorry to ask, but what is ac?

For the most part, you are right, and I’ll acknowledge that how I worded that it sounded more complain-y than I really meant to. If anything I was trying to say that I thought it seems silly that things like that exist, and not that I have a big problem with it.

That said, I don’t buy those products, but they still work their way into my life. If you have a vegan in your circle of friends or go out with one you’ll eventually find yourself at a vegan pizza place, or being offered vegan “bacon” with breakfast.

I don’t have a problem with veganism. I love eating vegetables, and enjoy plenty of meals without any animal products. What I could do without is the vegan products that imitate animal products. I am so much happier with a vegetable “burger” that embraces the taste of vegetables instead of one that tries to mimic the taste, texture and appearance of beef.

Possible unpopular opinion: I wouldn’t be upset if they dug up Arlington National Cemetery.

This, like absolutely everything, is different depending on who you are. Nothing, everything and anything is important to someone and not important at all to someone else.

That will be difficult for me, but certainly worth it. Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know.

Aww shit, what’s wrong with Kellogg? I’m already avoiding the rest, but I’ve somehow missed whatever horrible shit they are up to.

It sounds like you’re looking for slaves. There’s a reason slavery is illegal.

If this isn’t deliberately rage bait, there is something very wrong with you.
