That’s not even horrifically expensive in most cities. I’ve seen people pay $20/shot at some bars.

I mean, there’s a reason there’s literally an entire famous game series that’s a satire of Japan’s messed up law system.

The stupid thing is that even this isn’t necessarily the case. Even in countries that have public healthcare, there are still private options for those who want “fancier” care. The true statement is that they would only be able to rip off the wealthy, instead of everyone in the country.

If there’s a small, low-res image on my phone, it now asks if I want to upscale it, and tends to have this kind of “soft” effect to it.

Can confirm. Saw a classmate with her GF and got very jealous, despite having my own GF at the time. Turns out I was jealous of the wrong thing.

If you have braces you really should have a water flosser. I’m kind of surprised your ortho didn’t recommend one, as mine made it a requirement

At the time they were red.

It’s even worse because it’s not a man, it’s a transwoman. He kissed an attractive woman, but now he’s doing this because she was AMAB.
It really sucks that this is like, the primary plot point in the movie because as much as I love Jim Carrey’s stuff and Ace Ventura is iconic, it kind of ruins the entire movie for me now. It’s not just like, a painful scene or two, but the entire third act…

Yeah, it makes a lot more sense when you consider that the far side has to be lit during an eclipse.

The “Praise Allah” one was absolutely real and many news orgs have written about it at this point. It’s pretty depressing…
- Comment on My brother has or had now a drinking problem. Now he is asking for the worst tasting crap that he can take a cap full like an airplance bottle so his body whenever he thinks about it will remember 3 months ago:
Malort is so much worse than just bitter though. It’s like a mix of cheap artificial mint and burnt rubber. It’s probably one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever tasted, and that includes pure Bitrex.

This is how you learn you’re colorblind.

Ngl, given how much the average transfemme enjoys tech and building 40k minifigs, I think they would get some enthuastic volunteers. Hell, a lot of them will bring their own cages.

Could they just leave everything on there then? That would make things SO much easier.
- Comment on Anon blows his dad's mind 3 months ago:
That was awfully nice of him, but then why does he always he sew up the vagina too? Kind of a dick move.

Sure, I’m not saying it’s necessarily a good thing that we’re still using it, but recognizing and treating it as a serious carcinogen rather than something benign goes a long way to improving the amount of harm it causes
- Comment on You could be entitled for compensation 4 months ago:
Still is, honestly. We still use asbestos in a ton of stuff, but we’re just generally a lot more careful about using it fortunately, and not doing as many open-air asbestos shoveling competitions upwind from the schoolyard.

Nick Shirley, the “Minnesota Somalian daycare fraud” guy. If you watch him talk, or do much of anything, it is pretty clear he’s not particularly sharp.

Having also been in Colorado and being big into mining at the time, I can tell you that you would have sold when it hit the ATH of $1000, or definitely when MtGox happened and it halved almost overnight. I worked at Microcenter at the time and remember all the people returning GPUs after that crash. Everyone likes to think they would have held this whole time, but you’d have been a fucking greedy idiot if you had seen something so volatile, made 1000x returns and still said “Nah, I’m gonna hold”

In the US we also have places like Rent-A-Center that can be used for that. They tend to be quite predatory and usually target low income people to rent luxury goods they couldn’t normally afford, but I knew someone who’d rent their largest TV for a week for their Superbowl party, and it was a pretty good use for the service.

It’s not something that’s been allowed in the US until very recently. Auto on/off high beams have been a thing for decades, but the selective dimming/“tunneling” only just recently became legal within the past couple of years in the US.
- Comment on If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader? 5 months ago:
The worst part is that it’s not his relationship that he’s calling a “wonderful secret”, that was literally public knowledge for decades. It’s the child fucking he’s all giddy and “secretive” about
- Comment on Wokeness ended, check mate leftists 5 months ago:
Sort of. He basically said, that as a guy, being attracted to someone AFAB that was extremely masculine, “Hulk Hogan with a pussy” being the direct quote, was gayer than being attracted to someone AMAB that was extremely feminine, “Megan Fox with a dick”.

It’s not that he paid them directly, but Twitter has a monetization feature for blue-check accounts where you can effectively get paid for engagement farming.

I’m going to guess that you probably aren’t part of one of the many groups he actively advocated for violence and hatred against.
I don’t celebrate his death, but that a man actively advocating for violence and hate against so many has been silenced.
