I don’t go to fast food often, I walked into a McDonalds for the first time in maybe 1yr +? They had the kiosks for self ordering, I looked at the prices and “deals” and decided that the cost/experience ratio was just not worth and just left. I can go to a restaurant or cook myself for those prices (and I did, cooked enchiladas).

It doesn’t seem affordable/worth it even for a one-off now

Wait, that movie bombed?? I really enjoyed that one as a kid! I even rewatched it as an adult and still enjoyed it!

Granted it had more of a “gritty” feel comparatively, but still excellent IMO

Right? I don’t get any lunch break 🫠

I think I’d go immortal, phasing/ghost, shapeshifter.

Can’t die or age, can’t be caught, and can turn into whomever/whatever.

One of the features I thought it could be wicked useful for is printer clarity. When scanning or copying bad/old papers, hand written, etc. It could clean up, focus, or turn handwriting to print. That would actually be a good use for it IMO, ofc it’ll fuck shit up sometimes but it’ll probably be better than nothing at all

Are there NSFW communities here?? I guess it’s not actually surprising but I haven’t seen a lick of anything that nature

Do one with a fedora so you can say “will you be m’lady?”

TIL

If CEOs legally must do what benefits the shareholders, than cutting millions in employment costs by swapping CEOs with AI is now their legal obligation

(Probably won’t happen, but I can dream!)

Although I like the concept, I just don’t see a world where UBI does anything helpful. Unless people are able to just not work and all goods are human free/automated. Otherwise companies’ products and housing will rise to meet what they now know you have in income. Give everyone $1k and prices will rise to consume that $1k so you just end up feeding tax dollars into companies mouths. Pay for it by taxing the companies and they will increase prices till they hit the sweet spot intersection of cost/value, but people will still be at a negative because some of that resource pool gets eaten by government management of the UBI system.

May as well do what we used to and tax companies more and put that into social services, at least companies can’t squeeze that from us.

This is how I get my friends >.<

And I don’t get towed after a surgery, or after a (potential) snowfall at 8am, or need written and signed consent to have friends over (parking), or have to sign a release of use of likeness, or pay $5 for a load of laundry, or be not allowed to film/record in my apartment (if ANY public area is in the video, including outside the window), or not be allowed to have the “wrong color” curtains, or not be allowed to have anything on the deck/pattio (of my unit) etc. Etc. Etc.

Edit: Grammar

Are you sure?

I actually watched a video covering this topic recently, some other the other potential reasons given for the change was electricity (specifically lights) and entertainment services (theaters, bars, etc.) They correlate since having lights on the streets made it safer and thus the businesses could thrive. But now rather than falling asleep as say 8-9pm when it’s dark and you’ve nothing to do (especially when it’s only candle light), you can go out, watch movies, play games, drink, hang out etc. Which just naturally pushed how far out people stayed up in the night.

This is not fact, just potential explanations given by said video (see: Thoughty2 on YouTube, don’t have the link ATM)

Rust (clean) is actually perfectly safe to eat! And can add extra iron content to your diet if necessary! https://van.physics.illinois.edu/ask/listing/12540

(Most sources assume tainted rust, or large quantities, but small amounts of “clean” rust are fine, just don’t over eat iron quantities)

Relateable, I once had a blanket that didn’t totally cover me. Toes or shoulder coverage only. We are truly brothers in suffering

I personally don’t get rust but some people do and they can dislike that. Usually I’ll put the stove on low and help it evaporate to avoid rust. Its also really only a concern if (lye free) soap is used because otherwise the seasoning prevents it pretty well

I’m not a fan boy, I actually resisted getting one for nearly a year before one was gifted to me. There are a couple perks and draw backs I’ve learned. Pros: heating is pretty even, cleaning is actually way easier (IMO), and I can use metal on it. Cons: needs to be seasoned, takes longer to heat, some people get the ick from seeing rust.

TBH it’s pretty much the only pan I use now (cause I find cleaning easier and I’m lazy AF), but people should use whatever suits them.

That point in time was when the number of new things in life diminished to sporadic events. New things stand out and feel longer, repetition and same ol blurs and becomes irrelevant to memory and thusly disappears making time seem to “fly by”

If you do a ton of new things you’ve never experienced there’s still the possibility of having an “endless summer” such as the ones people often fondly recall from their youth.

The problem often is that when young, basically everything is new, getting a bike and being able go visit a gas station is a new thing, but as an adult, visiting a gas station, even if a new one, has enough same ol to become irrelevant’d by the brain.

I’m pretty sure it’s already corporate policy to not question people abour fake bills or do anything to stop shoplifters (because insured and liability). Wouldn’t be surprised if a new corporate policy crops up if something like that does happen
