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.

To be fair, the killing isn’t the point; they’re the product. Its just that profit is God, so killing in its name is justified.

Killing poors for the joy of it? That’s just an evil bonus.

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.

It’s probably fine to reuse it for a few days

My dude, hardly anyone uses a new towel every day. Its much more than “probably” fine. Its perfectly fine.

Is affluence the cause of germophobia because their parents convinced them frivolous luxury was actually important for staying healthy?

Don’t get me wrong, enjoy your fresh towels! That’s nice. That’s a luxury. Luxuries are nice. But don’t fool yourself into believing that you’re any healthier for not using the same towels twice.

Wow, I expected this from the US, Canada, or the UK.

I thought having clear rules for an efficient society was Germany’s whole thing.

If there’s right wing and/or established American indoctrination to parrot, he sings like a little bird.

Yeah, right?

You stir it every couple minutes and once it doesn’t feel stiff anymore you start trying a piece with every stir.

Al dente literally means “to the tooth”. How does it feel to your teeth?

Timers are for things that take more than 15 or can’t/shouldn’t be disturbed while cooking.

Its okay lil guy, I don’t know either

Which version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf did you have growing up? The one where Peter cries wolf and there’s a wolf but it’s in the woods so the townsfolk do nothing, then the townsfolk call Peter a wolf, and then when the wolf arrives in the village and starts taking people and Peter cries wolf the townsfolk say the word “wolf” is so overused it doesn’t mean anything anymore?

Because I don’t remember that version.

I always felt like his blank stare was a “Oh fuck, oh god, I have no fucking idea what I’m doing, how did I let it get this far, oh fuck, be cool, they don’t know, oh shit, I’m so completely out of my depth, oh fuck me man, they’re going to find out, every second its getting worse but I can’t back out now, oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck…” stare

Well I’ll be god damned…

The Seinfeld TV show did well, but I’m confident Jerry isn’t a billionaire.

I gotta say, you make some fair points.

It’s a lot of memorization that I simply haven’t done and won’t ever have to do.

The fraction reduction doesn’t help intuitive thought. If imperial operated on ‘significant digits’ and marked any set or document with a 64th always as 64ths, as in 16/64ths, I’d be more on board.

We just need to replace out base 10 system of counting with base 12 and we’d get the best of both worlds!

Not only that, but your system, by virtue of being decimal, inherits all the shortcomings of our quite flawed numbering system. You can’t divide something by the second smallest prime number without breaking out repeating decimals.

What’s more 0.203 cm or 0.291 cm? How about 3/8" or 19/64"?

How far is 1/3 of a mile? 1/3 km is 333m. How about 1/9? 1/9 km is 111m How long is 10 x 5/16"? 10 x 3.1cm is 31cm

Yeah, a foot breaks down easy in whole inches with many factors, but that’s about it

We also have some experience with starting helpful fires. 1812 comes to mind.

And 2 hours later… lunch!

More like 30 minutes of whatever you get paid, as all fiscal punishments should be measured

I dont think a “too long grass” fine is unreasonable. I think if you can completely obscure a 5’ tall figure standing upright in your grass alone, maybe a 30 minute fine is reasonable.

… it’s how much? For being how long?

“Oxy” is great because it also doubles with the word association “moron” so we’re subconsciously berated as well.
