If the loan is fixed at an amount or matched to inflation, you’d still have to pay or lose the house.
That’s still a pretty bullshit excuse, because it’s not like all that money you’ve already spent on paying the house will magically come back to you, you’d still be homeless if you lose the house, and the bank would still have a house available for the market, even if it’s at a lower value than before.

Yup, without Luigi there to kill the bugs it’s been pretty tough I suppose.

The point of the meme, is to show nature sucks. The point in this case is the crazy morphological changes animals in general (which includes humans) can go through via an extreme example of the caterpillar, not to equate a person to a caterpillar. It was poking a little fun at the fascination you and assumably many other men (and even some women) have at the changes women go through for pregnancy despite knowing about the extreme changes a caterpillar goes through usually during elementary school. Knowing that, it shouldn’t be surprising that anything could go through drastic changes for the sake of reproduction. Just because it’s an insect does not mean it’s not complex. It’s probably a good time to mention a tomato has more genes than a human.
But now you’re starting to turn it into not only a suffering contest, but a human superiority contest: Hyenas have cognition too and they basically give birth through a penis, along with basically having second puberty for the females. Elephants are extremely cognizant and have to go through extremely long pregnancies, on top of humans also nearly making them go extinct because of something stupid like ivory.
And since you want to make it a suffering competition, the animals win because humanity has screwed them over so badly many are going extinct on a mass scale, including the cognizant ones going through pregnancy themselves.
Instead of just making pointless suffering games on what is meme post where you can expect jokes based off the memes to occur, you can instead at least link to organizations that help women (and in my case, animals as well).

- Comment on Remember to 2FA your kidneys. 3 weeks ago:
Yup, that’s what I’m saying.
You can lose the ability to pee with kidney failure.
And your health goes down drastically once you do
When I started dialysis, I could still work and such. But I could also still pee.
After about 2 years, I lost the ability completely, and that’s when physical activity became harder, because the water removal fluctuations became harsher with dialysis.
Then I moved to Finland, which has hemodiafiltration instead of only hemodialysis like the USA, and got much better again.
- Comment on Remember to 2FA your kidneys. 3 weeks ago:
It was the most convenient thing, unless you ate something too salty or get the water crazies.
Because then you start to drown in your own lungs.
But, watching any show, movie, or playing a game without having to pee was very convenient

Unless it’s crackhead crackers, in which case the answer is technically both
- Comment on Remember to 2FA your kidneys. 3 weeks ago:
It’s actually not known why, but it’s very common with kidney transplant. I was told it’s thought to be because of the bladder, not the kidney (since we can go years without peeing before transplant).

Whoops, should have elaborated that was their source of wealth so people don’t think they got rich from allegedly inventing broccoli (didn’t know it was contested)
- Comment on Broccoli Blooms 3 weeks ago:
Broccoli is named after the family which invented it. The family line so exists with the last name of Broccoli and is quite wealthy.

They’re both staplers - one’s just manual and the other isn’t.
Spray bottles did not exist before guns, no.
- Comment on "ok, imagine a gun." 4 weeks ago:
Replacing “gun” with “press” for example.
Alternatively, caulker, stapler, nailer, gluer, tattooer, and finger pointers. Fingers also usually don’t launch projectiles I think. It’s just that gun culture is so embedded in your brain you couldn’t think of an alternative.
Note how these are all construction tools, and construction is also usually worked by men there. Yet more traditionally feminine tools don’t get the “gun” additive; most will say spray bottle for example rather than spray gun, even though it also has a trigger (a literal gun-like one in some cases) and shoots out a projectile.

Depends on how much the owner likes monopoly or wants to start selling monopoly money.
But if you bundled it with the rest of the game, I’d imagine they’d be willing to trade about 5 or 7 bundles. Of course, it has to be the complete bundle, because the monopoly game without the money is valued far less than with the official money
- Comment on Anon did philosophy 4 weeks ago:
Well, monopoly money does have value technically, it’s just that it would be a ton of bills

If you were fast, there was a neat trick where you could use them as a bottle opener too.
And some actually did just straight up have bottle openers.
Idk about this one, although it does look like it is, but some were removable, so you could clean them and more easily use that nub to open bottles.
