Bring back mumps for teen boys! Antivaxx for the win!

I’m impressed by how he had to construct the back half of that guy.

He’s got 99 care-ofs but a percentage ain’t one.

If “mildly infuriating” is just a synonym for “annoying” then I’d say this post nails the theme perfectly.

But why did we evolve a hook & loop clasp to hold the top of our skull closed?

We are in our suffix-punk arc. We’re such word-pilled portmanteau-maxxers.

Years and years ago at a house party, some woman from Cork and a friend of mine from Belfast were joking and they said, “Because Ulster says”, and I had no idea what they were talking about.

None of the answers I’ve read so far actually answer your question with basic facts.

When you invest then you are buying a tangible financial instrument: a share of a company or a treasury bill or a municipal bond and so on. There is the expectation that over time, the value of your financial instrument will increase in value but this is not guaranteed. The lack of guarantee is the risk. Some instruments are riskier than others. The level of risk does not define gambling.

When you walk into a casino and bet money on roulette, what are you buying? You are buying nothing more than a fleeting chance at winning more money. It is entertainment by thrill. There is no tangible thing that you own from gambling.

Investing is one way that companies can raise capital to expand their business. Business expansion can lead to greater employment and higher standard of living. For investing to work as an economic system there must be liquidity. Someone must be willing to buy your financial instrument later at a higher price or some town must still be collecting taxes to pay back your bond years later.

Hopefully you can see now why investing is encouraged and supported in society and gambling is either illegal or merely tolerated.

You offer an interesting vintage, but I’m going to have to resonate with you. Your ideas are just too methodology.

Even after you do, you still have to find a definition

LOL! 99% of people absolutely do not look up a new word when they hear it. If the listener thinks it makes the speaker sound smart then they get a vague idea of the meaning from context and then start using it – often in the wrong context. All the dummies of the world repeat this process and it spreads like a virus.

And thus, another word with a very specific meaning gets turned into another broad-meaning synonym. If don’t believe me I’ll caveat all over your nuances until you verbiage.

This is a very interesting question because it ignores the way that I wander into subscribing at all

I know of some show I want to watch and then after I already know about the show then I seek out the provider for it. After I subscribe and watch the show until I am satisfied with it only then do I bother looking at other shows available on that same provider.

I usually end up watching one or more shows I never would have known about or watched without subscribing for the original show. Eventually I cancel the subscription because there is no interesting shows left.

I know you said no substances but… starchy and fatty foods.

Since no one mentioned this yet…

Take a coin with a head on it. Put the grove over the raised face with groove side up. Press both ends of the pill down with thumbs. It breaks the pill along the groove.

Sending email to manager: “My new in-the-office days are Monday, Thursday, Saturday.”

That’s what kills me. This guy who is smart in other ways is so naive as to think HR is some kind of ally to employees and that illegal contracts are enforceable.

I’m not done eating the last batch of pizza rolls that Mr Plinkette mailed me.

You used the word “commerce” when you probably meant “capitalism”. Some commenters are not acknowledging that but are instead tearing into your shower thought as if you truly meant commerce.

I did you the kindness of explaining simply what they intentionally left out presumably so that they could be argumentative and feel superior. And then you reply to me with an attempt to be snide presumably because you took my remark as an insult.

No good deed goes unpunished, I suppose.
