Nope, it was written for a minstrel show, to mock black folks. The songwriter later moved south to join the confederacy.

I have seen some sellers figure out workarounds. If you have a different SKU, it doesn’t get considered. So for example, Poppi soda sells a 12 can variety pack on Amazon. They sell a 15 can variety pack for the same price at Costco. Different SKU, lower price per unit.

Apologies for the YouTube link but Cory Doctorow explains this phenomenon really well: https://youtube.com/shorts/vrgtV_yxxn4

I think it would be both normal and probably welcomed by a lot of them (as long as you’re not pushing an MLM.) Worst case scenario, they decline your friend request, but it’s not “weird.”

Well, I have kids so getting them gifts, and a nice dinner with them and their mom (she and I are still friends and good co-parents, just not good spouses to each other.)

I mean, that looks like an air traffic control tower, so there may very well be people in there. Just not “tenants” in the strictest sense.

That’s in the comics. We’re talking about the movies, where the personification of death is not a factor.

Because it’s a pretty dumb story at its core. Because they wanted the “worst villain” but couldn’t come up with something more interesting or intelligent than “misguided environmental terrorist.”

And of course health insurance wouldn’t cover it because it’s “elective”.

Seems like that would be an argument for liposuction as a way to supplement other weight loss because it would remove those cells.

I would argue that this is not really true under capitalism. The logic of capitalism is one of capital accumulation, which requires growth. Under other systems you still have markets and money and profits but there are other goals than the accumulation of capital and therefore achieving “homeostasis” is a successful strategy-a business run with consistent inputs and outputs which includes a sustainable profit.

Impossible to tell. Your brain is how it is, rather than worry about what you cannot change, think about what you want to do and how to do it. If you are experiencing cognitive issues or emotional distress that you think might be a long term effect of your young drinking, talk to a therapist or your doctor about how to address those issues now.

The native app, and I only have iOS so I can’t say if it happens on android.

So CNN just eliminated the option to decline tracking. Fantastic.

I am really sorry to hear this. I’ve tried to help my kids keep their feet on the ground, but still encourage them to work hard and share the enthusiasm they have for the pursuits they have chosen. Your mom sounds like she’s dealt with disappointment and hasn’t processed it well, so she’s negative about your interest in running.

For what it’s worth, I think you show a lot of effort and work ethic, and that’s what gets people to state. I think you should continue to be an example to your teammates and encourage them to look for the positives.

Nothing “mild” about how infuriating Teenage Mutant Ninja Goebbels is. There are only a few people I’d rather see fall from a very high place into a dumpster full of broken glass.

You might expand that to “society continuing to allow children to suffer because their parents are unable to care for them is a larger issue than the question of copyright.”

I agree, and the ways in which it could materially matter (in the US, admission to and/or scholarships for better universities, for example) should be mitigated by making things like education available to all.

Because of the air industry (and car industry) lobbies.

Listening to music helps me exercise, and having an app means that I can be in the zone with my music and get a chime telling me when it’s time to change pace rather than be distracted by paying attention to a stopwatch.
