neptune,

No, not really. If there was some other goal besides the honest exchange of the hat for the money, then maybe. Fraud (“the hats made of gold and is therefore a great value!”) and price gouging (“it’s the only hat for sale on a sunny day so I’m selling it at a 1000x markup!”) might be crimes in some contexts. As mentioned, money laundering (avoiding tax or other legal requirements to move money) is also a crime.

neptune,

That was good.

Yeah hard to picture a multi billion dollar studio greenlighting a movie where Spiderman kills the 300 richest and redistributes their wealth, or Iron Man leads a worker revolution.

neptune,

This metro system doesn’t have enough parallel track to allow for night time operation or maintenance.

neptune,

I think there is an option in Settings. Under privacy there is a toggle for Listening Activity to hide it from followers. It’s below the temporary version of the setting, Private Session I think you are thinking of. Why a temporary privacy setting would be such an option is beyond me.

Plus for any saying like “look before you leap” there’s a “the early bird gets the worm”

neptune,

One place I worked had only one shift and it was about 7am til three. Wrapping up at the hottest part of the day.

neptune,

Well it’s not because there is a legal answer.

neptune,

Always good to know what you are worth and keep interviewing skills sharp. But yeah, you could wait years for a promotion (more responsibilities!) and it only be 10% whereas a lateral move at a new company could be higher pay for the same type/amount of work. Crazy, right?

neptune,

Change the top text to remove the word “random” and instead explain how people actually talk about evolution.

Change the bottom text to say “statistics may imply the universe is a simulation…”

And then you remove the straw man argument.

neptune,

I just got a bottle of malort. Yes. It’s vile. Bitter, herbal, barely sweet, acrid, astringent… It’s bad.

I have a whiskey aged on chestnut. It’s very good. Different than all the oak whiskey out there. A little earthier?

I have a bottle of aquardiente. It’s kind of a minty drink. Not good or bad persay.

Ouzo and absinthe are pretty typical I guess. Rhubarb liqueur and I’m not sure what to do with it.

Something disturbing about Hallmark movies

I was talking with a friend today about Hallmark movies because we all seem to have at least one grandma who loves them around this time of year, and we’re hashing out the tropes they all share because they’re so formulaic that you could probably boil it down to a mad libs prompt, and something dawned on me because of one...

neptune,

I mean, it’s a fantasy. It’s going to tend to be transgressive or unrealistic, or else it would just be reality. Yes, it is sort of sending an anti feminist message that women can’t have it all. But you pretty much have to make holiday movies where the whole point is to stop being greedy and pay attention to what matters (family).

So you aren’t the target audience, combined with the movies being poorly written, combined with the very real situation where modern feminism has achieved its pyhrric victory of everyone getting to head towards equal participation in capitalism…

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
