When there wasn’t a word count, but instead a page count, I increased the size of periods to make wider spaces between lines, just by a point or two. These types of stupid requirements are why in undergrad, multiple TAs and professors noted that I have a very verbose way of writing.
I also dont like it in general. mainly because as an ex-server i know most dont report at least a percentage of cash tips. and i assume the worst when it comes to businesses who will keep wages lower to advertise tips that are no longer taxed (up to a certain amount).
Based on what I see in this thread, I find more of an issue to be media. Mainstream media can walk the line of truth and falsehood and make people think a certain way. Anyone who sees that can be redirected to an online source, which can be anybody from Jane/John Infantbrain to legitimate scientists. Being an influencer doesn’t preclude being a specialist, academic, etc., but the average person isn’t going to determine or care for the difference.

Alpha male when full release male walks in: 😧
Yes, but I was thinking something as simple as “I’m cold, and I want to turn the fan off,” requiring looking down long enough for court to say it’s a phone. Adjusting literally anything can make it less straightforward, regardless of actual action. But yes, I only see an interior camera as a disadvantage.
It’s creepy. And it may make me an asshole to say, but I’d never want an interior camera in the event of an accident. It makes the following court case so much more gray, since you now introduce the opportunity to say “they were on the phone, talking, listening to music, whatever” and shift what should be a clear cut case into something more.
I’d never be able to be the one to pull the metaphorical or physical trigger when it comes to eating any animal. I love animals way too much. But damn some meats are just so good that it made it difficult to go fully vegetarian/vegan.
The masculine urge to become feminine
Absolutely. But I doubt companies would agree to even try that. They’d rather compete for the spot of “the launcher everyone goes to” (and fail).
I agree. But I’m also keeping in mind that this is the situation capitalists claim to want: competition for everyone to continually improve. They just missed the part where they were supposed to improve and not make things worse. Aside from that, with all the major sites people think of like EA and Epic, it makes things even more difficult to topple that monopoly. Everyone wants to have their games in a convenient place. Having competition is incompatible with what players would want, because they’d need eight different launchers for games. I’m fully content with cycling itch and steam when I want what one or the other offers. For what I imagine is most people, it’s easier to use just one list/site that already has everything.
For myself, it depends on where I look and what store I’m in. Sometimes the international section can get me soursop juice. Locally owned stores have a better chance of variety.
I’m more annoyed that stores can have entire “juice” aisles, but only the last 10 or so ft. are 100% juice, only 2-3 ft. of which is organic. The rest are juice flavored drinks.
I mean, isn’t that supposed to be the point? Until progressives get in a position to do things, we should slow the democrats from sliding right even more.
It actually came from WWI, and it used to be called “gaslamping,” since that’s what they had used at the time.
Now, I had read this title as “horticulture architecture,” and I was wondering if a tree was supposed to go in the middle or something or where the tree pun would be.
Heavy Update, Pikmin 5, New Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Devil Survivor 3, Digital Devil Saga remaster, a variety of sequels but actually done right instead of being butchered
I don’t even hate the concept of the rewinds; they just mostly suck. The one for Discord was basically just “heres who you chatted with most, the server you sent most messages in, and how many emojis you sent.” I don’t care. Youtube and YTMusic have one. Spotify added an AI Wrapped podcast last year. Even the NYT Games app has one.
If no one ever told me what Hooters was about when I was younger, I absolutely would have gone to one as an adult thinking it would involve owls. Like a cat cafe, but owls.
I think it depends on where you’re at. I’ve been taught to ID even for N/A beers (because usually when advertised as such, they are allowed something like 0.5% or less ABV). But also, what kid would enjoy the taste of beer? Even the stereotype that’s how teens want to drink all the time, the lack of alcohol takes all of the fun out of that stereotype. As an adult, I only drink ciders and wines, which has kid versions of soda and grape juice.
