Do people really talk about their metabolism that much? Or are some people just so self-conscious about their weight and eating habits that they place particular weight on those comments such that they appear to be more frequent than they actually are?
Damn it, we lost him again. You win this time, Froggo, but one day you’ll pay for what you’ve done.
I don’t do this very often, but when you see Garfield sucking on John’s toes… how do you not?
Make more money that way.
Ngl I love programming assembly, that game seems right up my alley.
Grandpa just got scammed, and when we talked to him about it he said the bank literally told him “you are being scammed” and he insisted on sending the money anyway.
I just… what?
That looks like Tofupupper to me, rather than Doge.
There’s also scrolls, if Elongated A isn’t quite enough.
Ngl as a Canadian, I implicitly thought 8.5x11 was A4. Well that’s dumb, we should switch.
Tbf, I can see the use case for some “non-standard” sizes, like Legal, where having more height to the page without the extra width might be useful for readability of long documents.
…can’t think of an excuse for the rest, though.
That chicken is just a whiner whiner chicken diner.
Assuming they don’t quietly change that, and assuming they can even be trusted in the first place.
I agree with this, that capitalism as a philosophy promotes greed as a virtue. No doubt this influences the people that don’t stop to question it - which I’m sure is a larger portion of the population than I would like to admit.
However, I also think that greed is something that has always and will always exist in society. Consumerism is a modern invention, by virtue of industrialization allowing us to consume, but people have always wanted more money, more power, more things.
I honestly disagree, I think Buddhism - while not perfect - holds just as much truth then as now.
I agree it’s unethical for companies to push us to consume, but it feels like you’re implying we have no agency in it. Rejecting consumerism is a great first step on the path to happiness, in my opinion - and isn’t limited to the ultra-wealthy by any means.
I could explain my point, but I can tell you’re more interested in role-playing as a daycare worker, so I won’t interrupt your fun.
I don’t disagree, I’ve spent my whole life firmly in the working class. I’m just saying that there are a lot of people focused on having more, regardless of where they’re at.
Like, obviously many people are struggling. I know that. I’ve been there. I’m not talking about that.
I guess my point is best illustrated by Buddhism’s second “Noble Truth”: that suffering is caused by desire. This is a pretty decently established philosophy, and didn’t spring into existence after the advent of Adam Smith - is what I’m saying.
Thank you, I’m likewise proud of you for your ability to patronize.
Got the Nidhogg up in here.
