I think what will happen is no orders = no crops. They’ll grow something else or nothing else. And that’ll create a scarcity or perception of scarcity.

But maybe I’m wrong and some things will get cheaper, or at least not more expensive.

Ianal, I really hope there is some sort of class action that can be done to force companies to pass that back to consumers.

It should be easy enough to pass through to all the electronic pay methods.

Or force markup items to all be put on massive sale until an equal amount has been sold to make up the sales at markup.

There are no perfect solutions, some people will still make out like bandits.

But jfc, just releasing billions to these companies will only benefit the C-Level and maybe some shareholders, the people already benefiting, not the ones feeling the pain.

Probably meant anorexia from not being able to eat. It’s not really the same thing, but not eating is not eating.

Was she actually qualified for the job? Since she was appointed a month ago, I assumed she was a Project 2025 hire

I only know Shinjuku from anime/manga. When a certain arc gets animated, I expect it’ll be wild for a while. If the hype stays strong anyway.

There’s a movie called Shallow Grave. Ewan McGregor’s character is on the phone at work at a newspaper. We hear his side of the conversation:

Was there a pet in the house? Yeah, a pet. You know, like a dog or a budgie or a gerbil or something? What I need here is “PC Plod saves Harry the Hamster from house of horror”. All right. Well, that’s a pity. You see, no pets - no human angle.

This line has lived rent free in my head for almost 30 years. “All right. Well, that’s a pity. You see, no pets - no human angle.”

While I love manga and the artwork… I read and comprehend words much, much faster. For a massive opus like One Piece, I would love a novel version of the manga that I could dig into, with the novel and manga chapters lining up or notated, so I could go back and read chapters of the manga and enjoy the artwork for especially key or poignant scenes. Then I could start just consuming the manga and anime in real time… Right now it’s just too daunting to start. I’ve seen the first season of live action and anime. I’m very interested, I just can’t justify the time commitment.

I think this depends entirely on the subject.

I was in a STEM degree and I learned a lot of technical skills. (Super early internet, no YouTube) In the extra classes like marketing, English Lit, I basically learned how to deal with people because of the professors like you describe, group projects, and trying to see the perspectives that didn’t make sense to be initially so I could pass the damn class.

It seemed incredibly stupid at times, but making you think in ways that challenge you in ways you hate and think are stupid is actually excellent training for dealing with the myriad of brain-breaking people on this planet.

High School did this too, but less in your interest. High School was “shut up and do it this way, because that’s how it’s done.” This benefits the Institution.

College was “sure, argue, but here’s why you’re wrong, or if not wrong, you need to be able to see this differing perspective, understand, and navigate it. The world is fucked, there is so much that is morally gray, that you need to learn flexibility. Show me you understand by explaining back to me what I’m teaching you. Don’t just entrench your whole being in what you’ve been taught before coming here.”

Not the person you asked, but it’s commonly taught as science in a lot of Christian themed curriculums, including a lot of homeschool programs. Source: friends who believed it, and seeing the homeschool program of my step-kids. We had to teach facts on the side and introduce them age appropriately to real science.

“It” being Creationism.
Here’s something fun to learn more: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_Museum

Was looking for this.

Virgina worked at MAL at age 17 before Maxwell scouted her to “work” for Jeff. Maybe that’s what’s he’s talking about. Jeff stole a perfectly good underage worker handing out towels.

From scratch? I’m looking into some miso paste, so I can make my own miso soup

I can taste some of them, especially red and blue artificial food dyes. I’d love to see them replaced because I look like a weirdo eating around the m&ms I don’t like.

I watched a couple interviews with Michael Wolff on youtube. He said Epstein tried to hire him to write his biography and showed him photos of DJT with young looking women that could have been underage teenagers. (Or just young looking, he didn’t know) He also said he tried to take the story to journalists/news orgs multiple times over the years, but none of them would touch it. Until now. So yeah, people tried, like Katie Johnson, and the stories got squashed. Or like the Access Hollywood tape, it was widely reported and he still won the election in 2016. Teflon don, indeed.

My husband says eMachines have a pretty common capacitor problem. It’s an easy fix to remove and replace for people who know how.

Before selling, the capacitors should be visually checked, at minimum, because they can leak and that’s no good.

For those who need it, from the article:

The Trevor Project’s free and confidential crisis services will continue to be available 24/7 for any LGBTQ+ young person who needs support by calling 1-866-488-7386, via chat at TheTrevorProject.org/Get-Help, or by texting START to 678678.

Anything ginger (ginger ale, ginger beer, spicy, not spicy) as long as it’s fizzy. Not all the time, these are treats.

Most root beer. A&W is solid. There’s one I don’t like with perfume undertones.

We make our own seltzer and it’s my favorite. But any ice cold seltzers will do.

If I’m in a restaurant and craving soda, I get a coke or diet coke.

In the US South, an ice cold Cheerwine made with cane sugar in a glass bottle.

As an atheist/agnostic, I believe the 9% are indeed people who think end-timers will kill us all in a man-made catastrophe while screaming the fire they set themselves is proof of god’s final judges.

I still have some covid home tests, will these still throw a positive on the new variants? (Assuming the test is still good)

Thank you for the list.

Is he mad the list isn’t all “American” actors?
