3 is 2, 2 is 1, 1 is none.

The joke, IMO, is that no matter how crazy a social norm is, violating it causes us to feel shame and embarrassment. Comedy = tragedy + time. By taking the absurdity of the social norm to an extreme, the shame is all that is left to relate to unless you also love porcupines like I do and regularly hang out with other porcupine enthusiasts.

Sure, God could just make more money appear but think of the effect on the economy. His son completely disrupted the loaves and fishes business that time and look what they did to him.

Perfect

This is nearly as odd as the fact that they aren’t playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon.

It's one of the biggest experiments in fighting global poverty. Now the results are in (www.npr.org)

It’s an unprecedented – and massive – experiment: Since 2017 the U.S.-based charity GiveDirectly has been providing thousands of villagers in Kenya what’s called a “universal basic income” – a cash grant of about $50, delivered every month, with the commitment to keep the payments coming for 12 years. It is a...

Any ubi experiment will have positive outcomes but when the bi is truly u, you will see inflation in a capitalist system. My hope is we use this knowledge to transition away from the false scarcity of our current systems.

grabyourmotherskeys,

I agree with this. It’s going to take generations to accomplish.

Anyone who has ever been in a long term psych ward as a visitor or patient (where I come from anyway) would not want to go there for any reason. Half those guys don’t even know how to play cribbage.

grabyourmotherskeys,

In all seriousness, a person I grew up with tends to enter into psychiatric care around time of year either voluntarily or not because its a time around their first “attempt” and is very hard for them (one reason I know what’s it’s like to visit a ward).

So this goes back decades and we are no longer in each others lives. I hope your advice helps other people.

grabyourmotherskeys,

Join us in Alberta, we’re dismantling it now!

Note: I am not a fan of the dismantling.

grabyourmotherskeys,

I moved here as an adult from the east coast so I don’t have to guess. The list of reasons might take a while to write up.

I do love the lack if humidity, if I have to say something nice. :)

So good

My nephew based his life on Dennis the Menace. I was cooking a family and got called out of the kitchen where I was working alone.

Two minutes later I come back in to find this kid (maybe 5?) waving my razor sharp french knife around.

I very carefully removed it from his grasp and when I wasn’t using it I put it under a towel at the back of the counter. Told his parents to watch him.

Later he’s got it again and a steak knife.

I take all the blades, put them in a box, and put them way up high.

Come back later and he’s got a chair against the counter, a box on the counter, and he’s heading back up the chair with more of mother’s cookbooks to pile up to stand on…

Some kids are a little more extreme.

Edit: cooking a family feast, not a family (see first paragraph).

grabyourmotherskeys,

Thought it was funnier that way.

grabyourmotherskeys,

I’m just very excited about all the massive asteroids that keep near missing us. Talk about exciting!

Sweet with salty is hardly an anomaly in the culinary world. Salted caramel anyone? Ham glazed with honey anyone? Basalmic glaze over tomatoes anyone?

I’ve never understood why people get so worked up over this combo. It’s totally rational and, for many, subjectively delicious (which is, like you say, all that matters).

No one freaks out when people order food with cilantro even though it literally tastes like soap to some people. They just say “cilantro is not for me, tastes like soap” and get back to their burger or whatever.

Cools faster.

Might be a regional thing but where I grew up, every place made it, if you ordered for a large group you always included one “hawaiian”, and it would be gone while other pizza was left.

There are strong feelings about it but it’s like anchovies. A preference.

grabyourmotherskeys,

When I was 14, I was not helping to cure cancer. My science fair project was about salt raising the boiling point of water. :) I’ll give him props but you’re right.

grabyourmotherskeys,

I did conclude the boiling point was raised. I was up for a Nobel prize in chemistry but was excluded because of my political leanings.

Your mother smells of elderberries.

I’m going to over to your place, take over the nicest room, lock a few people in the basement if they complain, and you’ll be going to work everyday to pay for this. Sound good?

grabyourmotherskeys, (edited )

I guess I can head on over.

Edit: the reason you should not use household finances as an analogy in this is because households do not control monetary policy and most people don’t really understand national and international financial policy (or their own finances half the time).

In this case, a neighbor making an unprovoked takeover of your house in order to take advantage of the people living there is exactly what happened. The invasion hinges on “might makes right” so it stands to reason that should be fine in the locale of your home if it’s ok for a Ukrainian’s home near the border.
