- Comment on This drip coffee is now $5 dollars, up from $2.50 3 years ago 1 week ago:
Possibly, but the OP was talking about sitting in a cafe, not brewing at home.
At a cafe you have overheads, staff, cleaning, etc. Plus the rising cost of beans. All I’m saying is that cafes can’t freeze the price of coffee to a past point in time because customers have a fixed idea of what a brew should cost.

Not to be that guy, but we have been under-paying for coffee for many years now. The price of beans kept going up, but customers were locked into what a cup of coffee should be and extremely price sensitive about addressing the reality.
A catch-up is underway all over the world.
Note. Not a cafe owner and I don’t have anything to do with coffee except drink it.

His early work was exceptionally good. Tommy knockers, Needful Things, Salem’s Lot, Misery, Stand By Me, were all pretty good. Not a fan of some of his latest stuff.

He was extremely coked out of his mind during those years.

You said dead people can’t consent. I said neither can shoes. Tell me the bit where I am wrong?
You have now added something about importance, on which I never commented.

I never mentioned rot, I don’t think so anyway. Any bread I’ve ever had doesn’t look the same after 5 days.

To be fair, he was drowning in cocaine when writing that book, so he managed to keep the lid on it to the best of his abilities.

Sometimes following a principal appears useless. Sometimes symbolism can lead to powerful change.
Ghandi’s march to the sea to ‘make salt’, which was an illegal act under British rule, indirectly led to Indian independence. Long bow, I grant you, but the golden thread is there.

She was elected, he was born to rule. Let’s not get all technical. It’s not as if she had a choice of not including kings. The system is rigged.
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 1 year ago:
Actually, nobody goes to heaven when they die (according to the bible). Everyone must wait until judgement day when all the graves, etc, open and we all face judgement at that point. This surprised me when I first learned it because it goes against all the Christian culture I’ve ever been taught and experienced.
So grandma isn’t currently in heaven no matter how good she was.

Even worse, we have a nasty habit of informing on our fellows. Not for murder, or other serious crimes, but for breaking stupid council rules and such. We call it dobbing. We dobb.
