It is hotly debated, but poop does get displayed as art from time to time.

You were deffo rude first, sorry.

That is a good question. Why are you being rude to randoms?

Meanwhile my great grandmother, in her 80s, was able to learn how to boot up Win95 to play some puzzle games.
I personally think it’s because she was never really one for passive entertainment. If she watched television, it was stuff like Wheel of Fortune and she played along. She hit up the library every week for fresh books, and did a lot of crochet and crossword.
It’s similar to how I think her curiosity for life and refusal to be afraid is why she wasn’t a bigot. We have several interracial marriages in my family, and she never had a problem with it, despite being born in 1912.
She lived to be 100, and I hope I’m half as cool as she was.

I suspect that’s one of the reasons they’re grown in greenhouses commercially. They use a lift to pick, and it’s easier to drive over pavement than dirt.

Bush beans are a thing? Soybeans don’t climb either, and it’s the most common bean grown in the US.

Rural west coast. It is more expensive here than the midwest states, but the state insurance is fantastic, so the access to medical care is worth it.

I’m currently living in a slightly smaller house that’s valued at 250k. The roof leaks and the porch is falling apart, but the town has doubled in size since COVID, and so has the cost of housing.

Some of my best work, yes, but also some of my worst work.

It kept crashing to desktop for me. Literally unplayable.

The only Ubisoft game I tried was Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, and it was the buggiest piece of shit I have ever encountered.
- Comment on is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal 2 weeks ago:
Eh, yes and no. I wouldn’t say that they’re operating the camps, but kapos are an unfortunate reality.
I’d agree that homophobia isn’t the primary concern for most straight people, but with the caveat that it is the primary concern for the families who are worried enough to enter the conversion camp pipeline. I’d also argue that homophobia was a primary method of control via fear by specifically the preachers in the camp pipeline, though that stick is getting worn out and they’re starting to swap to transphobia for fresh fear. There are many roads to hell though, so you’re right about it not being their only concern.
- Comment on is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal 2 weeks ago:
I always felt like that study from the 90s is missing part of the picture. Like, it’s less ‘closeted gay people’ that are the problem, and it’s more the people who are closeted because it was beaten into them at a young age that being gay means they deserve the worst of the worst.
I think you’re spot on with fear being the root cause, and we really have done a good job at making people afraid of their own sexuality.

To be fair, air mattresses are like shittier futons and don’t get moldy because you’re always moving them around.

- Comment on Spidey Senses 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I also think its cultural and not an instinct. We don’t have screens on the windows, so letting spiders roam freely means I don’t get flies, which are objectively worse to cohabitate with.

Isn’t that basically dialysis?

My local grocery lets me skip the step of buying them and taking them home, because they’re already moldy on the shelf.

It’s been a hot minute since I played it, but I remember a lot of his backstory is hidden behind player choices. You may have to play through multiple times or just look up spoilers to get the whole thing.
- Comment on A slightly different experience 3 weeks ago:
My state is one of the few that guarantees paid time off. At minimum we get 1 hour of PTO for every 40 hours worked, so that works out to about a week of combined sick leave and vacation.

There was also a large influx of money as Europe rebuilt after WWII, but that also a one-time-thing.
Unless…
