Unnecessary? He can have a snack without the pinworm? Even vegetarian

Billionaires will literally buy governments instead of going to therapy

Maybe they should just have fewer avocado toasts for a while?

“welcome” :)

Well, the father had his part in creating this mess we’re all now in. Now we have to watch a sad existence trying to compensate for their childhood traumas by buying governments instead of just going to therapy.

At least he didn’t suggest that health insurance should use a deny, delay, and defend strategy for insurance claim payments

huh, I thought they would bake him :)

Cover letters can be meaningful for an entirely different reason. When I was still an undergrad, I wanted to apply for an internship. I tried hard to write that cover letter, tell them what motivates me to do that job and why I wanted to work there. I just couldn’t. I felt like I was lying to myself. That was when I realized I should switch professions.

Huh, I remember this post from ~2012

At some point you realize that many of the classic books are just… really good books! The terrible part is what they do to them in literature class. But many of those old books have become classics for a reason.

How did he do that with his one inch weenie?

No, he’s also a voter and has at minimum the voter’s responsibility plus what are you trying to say?

Well, I’m also probably the descendent of someone who was murdered, raped, stolen from, raided, or enslaved. And of educators, healers/medical practitioners, maybe activists for a good cause, artists. What’s your point? All of these things just got deleted from the DNA somehow? And the DNA just magically predetermines all of my thoughts and behavior?

In British English it’s “courb”, though

Interesting puzzle. Why is it that people rather choose to break the foundations of peaceful life with other humans, and consider killing one of the three? The 2/3s solution is just this tiny bit harder and not 100% exact in practice. But we don’t need to kill someone?

Also interesting for me: Why does it seem more obvious/logical to just break the law instead of breaking the stupid “JuSt usE It 1 tiME” instruction? We could just cut the apples in small slices so everyone can eat what they like and not be assholes about it?

Why is it easier to fall back to just (virtually) killing people as a reflex?

I don’t want to argue against the correctness of the sentence in English (I think you’re correct with that). I’m just uncomfortable by the conflation of two meanings. This makes:

“He spent his last penny” technically the same as “He is worth nothing”

So a rich person is “worthy”, which also means they are good, have achieved good things, and we are happy they exist. A poor person is “unworthy” and we can throw them away like garbage. That conflation is a problem to me.

It’s weird how in English you say “he is worth x” if you just mean he has x money/assets

Been there forever on signal and telegram?
