This is awesome. Not really any notes, I'm just glad this exists.
Covid
Honestly amazing feature. I hoped some more successful social networks would steal it but alas.
To track contributions and withdrawals to the social security system. Pretty much everyone in enrolled, so pretty much everyone has an SSN.
Blew my mind when I first had it. I obviously ate portabella from the grocery store, and puffballs a couple times. But when my partner found a bunch of chickens, it really changed my perspective on how mushrooms even could taste. Really kicked my foraging into overdrive.
Ecofacist talking points.
Edit: I'm literally right Referring to humanity as a "virus" is textbook ecofacism. If you're offended by this, do some reading.
I feel like I've heard that clearing the tangles really doesn't affect the trajectory of the disease?
You must be new here
Kettle cooked, salt and vinegar, brand is secondary, but I'm partial to Kruncher's
I have not suffered from insect-phobia myself, but I HAVE dealt with some other phobias. I think the thing that helped me is specifically understanding what it is that scares you about insects, and try exposure slowly.
For example, if you're afraid of wasps, but not afraid of, say ladybugs; what is the difference in your mind? Is it flying bugs? Crawling bugs? Is it legs?
Once you break that down, expose yourself to a bug that scares you the least, and over time you may find that "scary" feature isn't so big.
I hear this often, and I fail to understand why anyone would need to defend male circumcision in the first place. Why must we continue to perform male circumcision and ban female circumcision? Couldn't both just be banned?
I haven't played a new Bethesda game since Skyrim came out in 2011. So I went into starfield expecting Skyrim in space. I knew it would rely on more radiant randomly generated systems. I knew it wasn't going to have entire planets. Based off my expectations, I believe they have all been met. I'll probably log a ton of hours into the game. Was it overpriced? Maybe. But I don't really buy new games all that often, so it's hard for me to say.
I agree it was stupid. I just know that media companies are foaming at the mouth to use this decision to destroy online lending all together. And many writers are being tricked into thinking this will somehow help them. It won't. This will help Amazon. People renting your book from the internet archive is not why you're failing to make money.
I hope all the writers who support this lawsuit understand that they are contributing to a long standing effort to outlaw libraries in general. Nobody makes direct money off of sharing things. Get ready for DRM involved in every single thing that you do.
