The number of times my butt was grabbed, spanked, etc. by complete strangers any time I was out alone. And I don’t even mean as a teenager. I fully remember this happening when I was walking home from school in grade 1. It just seemed so normal even then. The adults know what they’re doing, and they’re just being playful, right?

Jim Carrey anytime he does comedy.

This is less of a specific good and more of a trend, but middle class people are more likely to buy bulk goods. Lower classes often don’t have the means to do so (space to store it and money to buy it, or access to places that sell in bulk) and higher classes simply don’t need to, or they buy luxury items that wouldn’t be sold in bulk.

Similarly, middle class people are less likely to shop at places with high markups, such as convenience stores.

The times when people shop would also see trends, with lower and higher classes doing more shopping midday on a Tuesday and middle class working people with average 9-5 office jobs being unable to do so.

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. Played it as a child together with my mom. She had all the worldly knowledge, but at the time I was the only one who could speak/understand English, so teamwork was key. That game meant hours of educational fun for the both of us.

I bet they’ll do this to the ones who have a chance of beating American athletes.

Depends on context and the skill in question. For example, in my office, good at technology means you know how to submit a ticket to IT and you don’t have a panic attack if someone mentions excel.

Orphan to foster care to homeless to prison to free labor pipeline.

She wasn’t an adult yet so maybe she was still quite short? Even so I agree it shouldn’t have cost her acting roles.

Many governments cut social programs that would result in net benefits economically for society (e.g. disability services that mean more people can maintain jobs, education, family planning, public transit, all mean more money is being made overall including more taxes going to the government). But it isn’t a direct enough benefit and it’s hard to quantify, whereas slashing funding feels like immediate savings.

Imagine no longer paying for your phone service in order to save money, then being confused about why none of the jobs you applied to are calling you back. Same logic.

Not if they destroy education and ban abortions.

I’m choosing a light fixture right now and I’m trying to decide which one looks best with all the natural fibers I plan to place in the same room, and the fact that I’m choosing to spend real hours on this self-created homework when I could instead be playing video games should tell you all you need to know.

If you are thinking about B-12, that is already artificially added to meat products too. So even people who eat meat aren’t getting it the “natural” way. Now there are available plant milks fortified with it which does the same thing.

Yes, vegans should monitor their health more closely to make sure nothing is missing, but it wouldn’t be particularly difficult to get everything you need from plant based sources.

In this case it looks like they commited fraud, so it’s not even just political.

No black outlines for this one, it makes it feel very different. More open.

Nice! I love the colors in this one!

My partner is not an artist, but he could paint something on some nice paper in a few minutes. Buy a frame, give him the rest of the $1mil, proudly display the piece in our house. I trust him to use that money well.

A cracked vase. Belonged to my great grandma. My grandma then had it and would fill it with fragrant flowers any time I came to visit. 11/10. Cracked vase is the one thing I made sure I took from my grandma’s house after she passed.

Note to anyone thinking of picking this up: read it, don’t listen to it. The book layout is meant to mimic a history book, and is filled with footnotes that have a life of their own. 11/10 book, imo. And I believe it took Clarke a solid decade to write because it was such an undertaking, but that work paid off!
