I think most people's immediate reaction to hearing someone refer to themselves as we may be the royal we instead of simply being plural. I don't have any issue or negative reaction to the idea of a plural sense of self, but we feels pretentious for those reason. It should go without saying that you can identify however you like, I just like talking about words.

Also, it's totally outside the ethical bounds of a school counselor to affirm or deny anyone.

If we're ranking shit by smell, then carnivores are the absolute worst, omnivores are a close second, and herbivores are a distant third. Everything excreted by a big cat (Lions, Tigers, etc.) is so so smelly, and it seeps into everything. You can smell the big cat zookeepers as soon as they walked into the room.

Omnivores excrete stuff that is almost as smelly as those cats, but at least it's familiar. Maybe that makes it worse. Admit it, your own farts are never as offensive as someone else's. Raccoon poop, especially the dried out and dusty kind will straight up kill you though, so watch out for that. Primate fluids can pretty risky too because of their similarity to us.

Herbivore shit is fucking perfume compared to the others. Horse shit doesn't actually smell that bad at all unless there is something wrong. The ammonia from their piss is something fierce and awful though. Mucking horse stalls is like scooping a litter box for a cat the size of a horse, but the actual shit is the most pleasant aspect. Elephant shit is the most pleasant shit I've ever had the pleasure of shoveling. It's like wet dead grass with a hint of musk.

Kinda surprised they hadn't made Naomi Wildman an ensign by the end of their run.

With no more due process, an ID and proof of citizenship do not matter at all. They're not checking ID's before hauling people away. And given ICE is going around masked and without uniforms there is no way to verify their authority either. I absolutely loath violence to a point, and that tipping point is the safety of the people in my family and community, regardless of their citizenship. If a group of unidentified masked gunman are attempting to kidnap someone, the only truly patriotic American response is to defend their liberty with all necessary force. Given the murder happy training of our law enforcement, that will obviously result in tragic deaths. But that, protecting the people (all the people, not just citizens) from a corrupt government, is the fundamental justification for the 2nd amendment, always has been.

Do I really even want to know what LinkedIn games are?

We killed our trajectory because the cold war ended and we were no longer engaged in an arms race involving rockets. Once capitalism figures out how to exploit space for infinite growth we'll get back on track assuming we don't great filter ourselves first.

Yes. Mayo is a key ingredient in so many picnic dishes. Dishes that people regularly prep for BIG family gatherings where everyone brings home leftovers. Potato salad, coleslaw, and pasta salads made by the gallon. Sure, some people eat way too much, but sharing and sharing big is kind of the whole point. If someone shared food with you in a park, you're family now and will be expected to bring your weight in your other family's traditional recipe of something next time.

We should call it Camp DeSantis. I know it's part of a broader federal policy, but I feel local political pressure is the right choice in a republic. The governor is letting this happen. And also because, fuck that guy.

Have you checked your blood pressure lately? Salt intake? Hydrating okay? Hormones? Allergies?

Could be an early warning sign of something more serious.

A little swelling and water retention especially on hot days is normal. But, if your shoes stop fitting due to a little water retention, they probably didn't fit very well to begin with. It's easier than you'd think to get used to shoes that are too small. Your feet adapt, but suffer.

The article makes it clear that this superwood is not meant to compete with wood used it traditional stick built construction. It's meant to compete with structural steel once it has been able to get certified for those uses and building codes are adapted.

Value was making value as you put it, long before rapid trading. Speculation and arbitrage are like the first two things that develop in any economy. Any entrepreneurial grade school child trading candy, baseball cards, pogs, hotwheels, or whatever the hot new thing is has probably seen both first hand.

Legitimate reason? Really?

That was the one thing that removed my ability to even try to suspend any disbelief in the fantasy. Like I couldn't even think of him as more than a one-dimensional caricature, let alone empathize with him. I was okay with Thanos just being some powerful guy seeking powerful objects to become more powerful. I might even sympathize, not empathize, with that. It was evil to be sure, but understandable. But, as soon as they revealed what he actually wanted to do with that power the whole thing just fell apart completely and became a total farce.

It was just bad logic that doesn't hold up to any scrutiny. Like why didn't he just double the resources? Why did he think the universe wouldn't just eventually return to pre-snap populations, because it's not like he also slowed population growth?

I don't know much about either the Order of Canada or Georges St-Pierre. So I looked it up before crafting a pithy response or downvoting and moving on without comment. The wikipedia page for the order states that criteria are basically "Canadians who make a major difference to Canada through lifelong contributions in every field of endeavour" and those that exemplify the motto "they desire a better country". Nowhere do I see any mentions of excluding someone because their career path wasn't serious or valid enough. He's obviously made more of an impact on Canada than most. You can call the whole award a popularity contest and you'd probably be right, but shitting on someone's accomplishments just because you don't think their career is valid enough just feels gross.

Tell us you don't have a clue how the electoral college works without telling us.

Oh no, I don't doubt it. Just thought it was an ironic coincidence.

"The ticks are turning people vegan" does sound remarkably similar to "the frogs are turning people gay".

I've felt that. In my story, I'm an adult out on a date. I order a molcajete dish from the local Mexican restaurant. I've had this dish before at a few places. I know it's usually spicy. I want this. I have a vague memory of the waitress confirming I was okay with a spicy dish. I enthusiastically confirm.

I had never encountered this level of spicy before. Those other molcajete dishes I'd had were milquetoast. This was flavortown gone nuclear. My entire head turned red apparently. The sweat started on my forehead, then my neck, and eventually my entire head was running like a sock over a faucet. I hadn't encountered real heat like this before. I was in experienced, so I didn't know that drinking my beer between bites was only making the heat worse. The waitress kept bringing them though. At one point I could hear people laughing together in the kitchen. It was a quiet restaurant, we may have been the only ones there at this point.

I was not bowed or broken. I ate the whole damn thing. It was otherwise also a delicious dish and now that I had broken through into the fire dimension I was tasting flavors I didn't even have words for. These flavors were here the whole time but I couldn't experience them until I had set my mouth on fire. I eventually won the day, or so I thought until the next day when dinner had it's revenge on the way out.

Jalapenos don't get the respect they deserve. Sure they don't have the face melting power of some other peppers. But they taste fucking great in ways the other peppers can't match. They are also sneaky. I've had jalapeno with little to no heat, almost like a better tasting green bell pepper. And I've had jalapeno that were face melty sweet awesomeness. The secret I eventually learned was to seek the peppers with those little brown stretch marks. More stretch marks mean more fire.

I see you've never played "Dragon's Lair", where every scene was cell animated and the player "chose" the path that the animation would take.

Somehow I think the national lab test company's lawyers have got them covered. This wasn't exactly a fly by night, no name company. Having in known third party send you a medical bill months later is pretty fucking common place. This was just one anecdote of many, not an isolated incident.
