Nah, Russia is white and Christian.

We had the Chicken Sandwich War.

The problem is not the resources, it’s the distribution. No political will to end global poverty, no profit in feeding the hungry.

Moral of the story: run proxies. Speculators and investors ruined the market, WotC just let them do it. (Also, fuck the secondary market and the reserve list. It’s cardboard. Some of us just want to play)

What if you’re imprisoned on a cart and attacked by a dragon? Or just released from prison on a boat and dropped off in a swampy beach town? The fantasy RPG genre requires starting as a convict or prisoner, you see.

“A version of” does not inspire confidence in me. I like Salt & Straw, it’s good ice cream. The Choco Taco was not good ice cream. It was a stale sort-of-waffle-cone shell, acceptable vanilla ice cream with fudge swirl, dipped in cheap chocolate with chopped peanuts. And they were perfect. This new thing will probably cost eight dollars and taste great but it will not fill the nostalgic space or my freezer.

The puritanism predates Victoria, but yes.

And not the crap ones they made a few years ago, the original ones.

Screaming Yellow Zonkers. 3D Doritos. Choco Tacos.

So, not actual socialism then.

Cannabinoid receptors never been used before? You’ve got no idea what you’re talking about. We don’t have structures just for doing drugs, those receptors are for chemicals prdocued within the body naturally (endocannabinoids) that also respond to ingested molecules.

Roundabouts are on the driving test, and people are expected to keep up with changes in local law. Do a tiny bit of due diligence and don’t blame the people building objectively safer intersections.

I don’t see anything wrong with serialized media, the problem is people are not also taking chances on more novel stuff. Even when it gets made. “Moon” came out fifteen years ago and I thought it was really good but damn near every time I bring it up I’m the only one who even heard about it. “Knives Out” was great, “Glass Onion” was alright, we get weird stuff like “Pig” and “The Menu” and that’s all stuff with big names and decent budgets. There’s tons of smaller stuff coming out too but if you don’t pay attention or seek out film festivals, or know someone who does, it might as well not exist.

Are theaters just too expensive for casual audiences? Is the opportunity cost too high? Or is it just a marketing failure?

The 80s is too old? I understand not enjoying the style of the Golden Age of Hollywood, but what about movies like Back to the Future or Full Metal Jacket or The Princess Bride puts you off?

Gaming is the primary driver behind my PC choices by a humongous margin. I’m not really concerned about imvasive anti-cheat software, I don’t want to tinker with settings, I want to turn on my computer and play video games. That means I use Windows.

“A banana republic is a politically unstable country whose economy depends on the export of one product in limited supply, such as agricultural products like bananas or minerals”

The literal first sentence from wikipedia. It’s a specific kind of exploited state. Using it as a catch-all for unpopular or unstable governments dilutes the terminology. Which is what’s happening, as shown by the rest of the wiki page. It’s not, like, an official classification and you’re not the only one to denigrate the US with that label but it seems dishonest and reductive. Our problems are largely internal and would exist with no foreign influence or global economy.

That’s not what that term means.

Bro what are you doing with your lips? “F” is top teeth on lower lip.
