Make Justin Long stand in the Mac Mansion while John Hodgeman stands outside the Public Community housing.

do we know that shoppers haven’t already returned to normal now that it’s out of the current news cycle?

Yeah man, otherwise we wouldn’t be participating in this conversation right?

Target was affected by boycotts in a way that other retailers are definitely aware of.

You skipped the part where they absolutely do not value human life or care about the suffering of others. That explains the most why this is the easiest option for them to continue wielding their power without having to compromise on any ethical or moral value in their life.

You can’t accurately (nor truthfully) look at from their point of view without adopting that specific part of their view.

Dance off for hambe

🟥🟥🔵👷I guess were doing memes now.

“Oh my God lmao”

I think it’s like saying “there’s no guard rails now” because you are not in safe and regulated society where all the wild animals you see are on your coins, but you are now outside of that safe comfortable world and the wild animals are actually wild animals.

It reminds me of the saying “when you hear hooves, expect horses, not zebras” because you’d really be somewhere exotic if the sounds turned out to be a zebra. Well you’d really be somewhere outside of your regular comfort zone if the buffalos were sitting in the grass instead of sitting on your nickle.

Me talking to the autistic kid in the back of the daycare stacking blocks and enjoying it a lot: “Enjoy your block.”

The autistic kid:

Those food based subversion names are all alphabetical. I guess back then they didn’t have enough avocados in the code to call it “California style” so they went with “Cupcake.”

n9d was not very memorable for me so I think I probably agree with your taste overall. if you’re really only going to read one more then I would make sure not to skip The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. I think Ghostwritten is one of his earliest books and I think it really shows.

It’s really really interesting to imagine a different order to read these stories when you think about which little overlaps you would or would not be able to appreciate.

One of my favorite things about his books is that all his gimmicks with the overlapping characters and the horologist stuff doesn’t really matter all that much if the story is just otherwise also extremely well-written. so the “gimmicks” really do feel like a bonus and not like the main point.

I have loved all of David Mitchell’s books but Cloud Atlas was the perfect one that I started with that made me want to see everything else he read. I just love the structure of it so so much.

OP seems to be Korean which makes me extra curious because Koreans have interesting ideas about AC.

This is what me and my partner say to each other when we drink good coffee.

My understanding of hard water is just that there’s more calcium and magnesium ions than would otherwise be present in softer water. The varying degrees of hardness would just be the varying concentrations of these ions.

The way you experience as a human (as opposed to measuring this with a water probe) is that soap will form a complex with these ions and maybe precipitate out a little soap scum, and this reaction will happen at the same time as the reaction which complexes with any oils or dirt so it’ll effectively be wasting some of your soap and you will have to use more soap.

So you’ll be shampooing your hair and you’ll use the same amount as you used back in the soft water city and you’ll be thinking “I used the same amount of shampoo as I always do so why does my hair still feel oily?”

I have one of those articulated segmented hose things on my shower head so you can pick it up and move it around while it’s spraying and the whole thing gets all covered in limescale super fast because the hard water evaporates and precipates out the magnesium and calcium as calcite or aragonite crystals. I had never seen this happen so fast and it ruins the hose so often that I thought I was dealing with excessively hard water.

This doesn’t really fit with my understanding of what hard water is and I’m very concerned.

The place I live now has hard water that is way different from what I grew up with, but it just means that I have to use a lot more soap to clean any oils off my skin or hair, and every faucet gets a ton of lime buildup obnoxiously fast.

Your bot couldn’t decide if it was quoting the questions marks or quoting what was inside the quotation marks so it compromised and only replicated the closing quotation mark.

This is my favorite one lol.

Yeah it was a different time. The gameplay was solid though imo.
