I’m generally a fan Swift’s music, but I remember listening to this song and just thinking it was the feminine version of a white night incel. I get it’s supposed to be the song “all of us” felt like when we were in middle school or high school watching a crush date someone, but anyone older should view the song as a “what not to do” song.

I live in Florida, surrounded by red and I’m from a red state/area. To be clear, I think it’s PERFECTLY VALID to hold the thought “my money and stuff are mine and I should have a say who gets to use it”. And to your point about democrats: yeah that’s effectively what I mean. Universal health care and paying for college are publicly funded from…other people’s money. Most Republicans I’ve talked to wish we had either or both, but balk when taxes are raised. They would rather be the ones to decide who gets a portion of their paycheck from an understandable hesitancy to have the government be the one to decide who gets the money. Republicans see that prudence as necessary, and most democrats I know see that as an unwillingness to contribute to the “greater good”.

I think the defining difference is whether that sharing extends to just friends and family, or if it becomes more egalitarian and extends to everyone. From my experience, Republicans tend to stop at the former, and Democrats tend to stop at the latter. There is also usually differences in what they’re willing to share to both parties, namely money.

I think that comment is saying the opposite of what you’re saying

Buo-y

Apparently we have the Dutch to blame for that one, as the verb form is apparently descended from Spanish.

It’s obtuse because it’s not like another one is going to crop up in the same town in the same day to give the workers jobs, nor is it going to solve the issue of regulating the industry properly. The people enforcing the policies need teeth, and those teeth should be able to bite at the people causing these conditions. Places get like this because 3rd party inspection is underfunded and underpowered. Shutting a place down means it cuts into profits while potentially cutting off workers’ incomes. It doesn’t mean the owners or board get significantly impacted.

Assuming you aren’t being purposefully obtuse, the answer is to make them safe and suitable environments for people to work in. You can figure out a way to punish the company who is creating these conditions, but for the time being, the answer is to make them reasonable to work in.

No. They’re saying that slaughter houses don’t appear to be going away in the near future since there is a still a fervent demand for meat, so the answer of “just shut them down” isn’t a valid solution yet. They should be removed of human cruelty until we can fully remove them.

The link is to a piped video. The link is named after whatever the original hyperlink used. If it was labeled “butt penis” the piped bot would have a link “butt penis” as well.

My biggest advice to anyone who wants to start cooking or is too intimidated to cook: just start doing it. Find a recipe that’s simple, follow it to a T and then just keep doing it. You will suck at first, but that’s step 1 of any skill. If you cook every night, by month 1 or 2, you’ll be significantly better and can expand. Also, whatever time the recipe you looked up says, 1.5 times or double it (especially anything involving cooking onions). You don’t have the skills to get it down to that time, and most skip prep work to make it a “quick” recipe.

It also helps the slave business owners who need more workers to work in their sweatshops business. Less workers means we have to pay a reasonable wage won’t have enough workers.

My guess would be on the days you work, your body can stay in a working mode/mindset, whereas when you try to do so on non-work days, you have to force yourself into that mindset, which requires a lot of self control. It also might be your body telling you to take a break, and you’re overriding that feeling by writing.

I didn’t even know they tested for DHMO. I thought it was something they noticed was so prevalent at autopsy, they just assumed it was naturally present. It’s nice to see the awareness efforts have not been all for not.

Ye, I think his friends just regarded it as a dick move lol. Personally, I always enjoyed using the card later in the game when people start getting 2x resources every other roll.

To give an actual answer, Monopoly in Catan allows the player who played the card to name a resource, and every other player must give all of that resource to the player who played the card. I imagine the OP negotiated using a specific resource, got what they wanted, then monopolied the traded cards back.

I am a human, hear me rar.

I used to have people pay back borrowed lunch money in 5 cent cracker packages. I still remember the time i saved up about $5 in crackers because of one friend’s debts.

To be less cynical, it’s possible those venn diagrams don’t overlap, or they’ve changed over time after removing layers of ignorance. There doesn’t always need to be massive hypocrisy behind every motive, nor do we need to immediately shove our fingers that direction. Sometimes the world comes around to where people who thought this all along are now given a pulpet with which they will be finally heard.

Would you rather It had a simpler, placeholder name like “X”? Kidding. But after joining a platform named Lemmie, I don’t think questioning Mastsdon is the right move. My 2 cents.

Yes good example. I will say, apprently the rice in the OP does serve a purpose beyond “plant free rice”, but the label seems to hit off the mark. I feel like the actual marketing opportunity would be low calorie or digestive aide rice based on several other comments.
