I’m assuming this is something I need to do once and never again.

I interpreted it as needing to be part of the build chain

House of Leaves, it’s an experimental horror novel that was famous for having crazy typesetting (and it’s also very good, independently). It’s about a house that’s bigger on the inside than the outside and how that drives people insane.

For everyone? I agree, that’s silly. It’s definitely suitable for more than the tiny fraction of people who use it though

This reminds me of something that would be in Flight

There are plenty of other possibilities, and I don’t think bipolar is actually the most likely. Although psychosis and delusions can definitely be a part of bipolar type I they don’t have to be, and are more commonly associated with, for example, schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder or schizotypal personality. Of course these are often comorbid, complicating things. But I wouldn’t jump so quickly to such a specific diagnosis based on one picture.

Even if they’re aware on some level, people in the rest of the world don’t go around thinking about American spellings all day. And this is one of the less obvious ones. So nah, there’s a reasonable chance they don’t, especially because “totally mold” is not even meaningful or a pun or anything.

Who gives a sh*t, people can post whatever they want

Yeah, for sure, but that’s not what this is about. At least Australia is actually far away. Phoenix to Vancouver is like just over half the distance from Sydney to Perth and this package went about three times as far to get there.

Also I think it’s not quite as bad anymore these days, at least in NZ we usually get stuff in a week or two now and although it’s still expensive the costs have come down a bit too.

You are mistaken. It’s wrong to think that just because they’re married their wives have meaningful control of any finances. It’s easy to see, for example, when they separate. Gates and Bezos’ former spouses took about 10% of their respective fortunes. Musk is single, lol. Putin is also single, but do you really imagine he ever let his wife make a decision?

Those are cherry picked examples, sure, but you can go down the list of billionaires and see that they are divorced much more often than you think, and their wealth doesn’t change much in the divorce.

More basically, the men are the ones on the list, aren’t they.

Their children also don’t have that kind of power until their parents die or at least get old enough to start succession planning, and they certainly don’t have control of the money.

Noooo, he can wear medium grey, dark grey, dark blue… and… uhhh…

This is such a non-sequitur that I’m really not sure what it means. Care to enlighten? Is the “joke” that I am a woman and therefore must change my clothes often? Not your best work

You agree that it’s a way to divide people, but you don’t think more united people will help against wealth inequality?

Who’s in the 0.1%?

Sex & gender discrimination is a way, one of the most important ways, in which we are divided in order to make class oppression possible.

So I agree, blame the 0.1%, but the only way you can actually do anything about that is by healing the gender divide, and you’re not going to do that by pretending everything is fine and equal when it’s not.

The 0.1% are the reason why women are oppressed, sure, but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

Wanna guess if it was men or women who profit the most from the relentless consumption machine? Wanna guess if it was men or women who controlled women’s livelihoods based on their conformance to their standards of femininity, until, like, one generation ago? Lol

Yeh, I believe this is the right approach. It makes sense that it’s important to people to have some rituals around interaction and bonding even if they don’t mean anything to me personally and even if they don’t have any deeper or fundamental meaning.

I think it would be nice if society were more forgiving of people who struggle with it though, it can lead to a lot of bitterness and resentment.

Nah, with Brønsted-Lowry bases/acids (although actually even then there are nonaqueous protic solvents which can be acidic, and various hydroxides which will dissociate in other solvents than water, so it’s not strictly true) that idea is good enough for high school chem. But Lewis acids/bases can be in any kind of solvent, or even solid or gas.

Tweaking has been plain meth use for a loooooooooong time, not sure what the kids mean by it now

Yeah cos it’s real lucky when you’re not paying attention and light the filter end

“like” needs an object for the comparison. Something can’t just “look like”, it has to look like something. “What” is an indirect reference to an object so you can say what it looks like.

“How” is a reference to an adjective or a description, so it doesn’t need another word to make it a comparison. How does the cave look? It looks terrifying.
