Yeah that’s $150k+ right there in a lot of states. These aren’t just hippies skipping rent.

What was the conflict–he didn’t want to evict squatters? Or he didn’t know what to do once he found the stash?

Unit is clearly set to toads

Colorado.

Fast food is defined by not having table service and being more intended for carryout than dine in eating. So either you’re asking for a system that relies on fast food restaurants to provide reusable equipment and that demands diners come back just to return it, or you’re gonna have to find another business model to support. It’s not about blame, that’s just how the entire business model works, and if a person wants not to support it, they have to make individual decisions not to do so…

Big beautiful biome

Trough is a device in which food is served, not a room nor a location of preparation. Horses may sleep in a stall, but they also piss and shit on the floor there. I find these metaphors to be stretched a little thin, but I’m no neigh-sayer.

So this is just about you really liking opium rather than anything to do with work colleagues

This depends entirely on the type of tape it is. There’s plenty of ripstop tech in packing tapes now and adhesives that are stronger than the boxes they’re bound to, both of which make a mess if you try to tear in a straight line.

Fork that

Totally. Every next safety measure from airbags to seatbelts are about adding extra inches, rarely even full feet, and they are shockingly effective.

Largely true, but it’s crazy what the difference of just a few feet of slowing down does (rather than zero feet of abrupt stopping) to acceleration forces. The crumple zone on a car only has to be 3 feet long to turn a 60mph crash from a fatality to a horrific injury.

“we used to think that this was what we didn’t know, but thanks to exhaustive and expensive research, it is now this that we don’t know.”

Which are sometimes as or more important than answers, but it does tend to reveal that it’s “turtles all the way down”

Just one more collider bro, one more I swear. And we’ll know everything.

Good to know, thank you! Yet more reasons to avoid it

I think the point is that to you, it’s just semantics. But, to use your example, given that some people have started intentionally using “female” in place of “woman” as an (arguably) subtle way to exclude trans women, it suddenly becomes more than semantics to both trans and anti-trans populations. That’s what Smotherlove is saying about “dog whistle” language only being transparent to the perpetrator and the victim.

So from your/my perspective (admittedly assuming you’re neither trans nor anti-trans), it’s largely a case of “a few rotten apples ruining it for the rest of the bunch.” What should just be a semantic difference has been coopted and intentionally weaponized by some, so all of us have to be conscious of whether or not we’re making that worse.

It’s also not a new phenomenon. Many epithets start as PC terms and then become offensive based on how a specific group starts to use them, notably, almost every one-time PC terms for Black Americans and people of color. Unfortunately, it’s basically the reason that, for at least 100 years, (responsible) individuals/media have had to change terms for many marginalized peoples every 10-20 years, with many other examples, like “Oriental” and the terms that predate it, and plenty of others.

Yo how’d they fit a smartphone in there

Lol they said “threatening violence” because it was the easiest thing to ban you with. The real reason you got banned is that you’re a psycho, man. You sound like you are saying you wish you were allowed to hurt or kill your own children, and you’re talking about them as property. That’s crazy person shit.

They’ll have been taken for absolute fools
