Students? ITYM staff.

Is “playing chess” what they’re calling it these days? Giggity.
- Comment on Which is worse: not wanting kids, or wanting them too much? 2 weeks ago:
That’s a 10 at both ends, but insane to pedo.
- Comment on Which is worse: not wanting kids, or wanting them too much? 2 weeks ago:
Definitely killed her kids. Allegedly insane enough to not be able to be found guilty (which would still wind up with her locked up). And it was the state’s burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was sane enough to be found guilty. That’s what the jury needed to deliberate and come to a consensus on, but didn’t quite.
- Comment on Which is worse: not wanting kids, or wanting them too much? 2 weeks ago:
Given how much she wanted kids, that isn’t actually an appropriate picture on the left of the scale.
- Comment on Jury unanimously acquits Churchill statue spray-painter 4 weeks ago:
That’s part of their job. Anything that’s more prejudicial than probative, anything that isn’t relevant to the charges, anything that has no verifiable source, that all gets tossed if the judge is doing their job. And that’s not an exhaustive list.

You should complain - your cup is mostly empty.

And the rest of us can anticipate the “but still tried” part.
- Comment on Play games with your neighbor to sink even lower! Canada rules! 1 month ago:
I was really lucky to get mine in the early crowd funding phase - it was something like a quarter the current retail price. And my preferred green beans (when bought by the sackload, delivered) are about 60% the price of roasted beans at a local roastery. The value worked out well for me where I am, but I can certainly understand that your local prices will differ, and with the current price of the unit it’s a lot more of a painful initial outlay. Still pretty cool for anyone who likes to tinker with their roast profile, of course.

Roasting your own coffee is trivially easy if you have the right tools. I bought an air roaster in a crowd funding campaign a few years back and it’s just incredibly more convenient, cheaper, and at least as good as buying from a roastery.
Of course, most people aren’t going to want to spend a grand on something to save a few dollars a week, or to tweak a roast to fit their palate slightly better. I know I wouldn’t have.
- Comment on The Price of this Candy Bar 1 month ago:
Huh. And hereabouts I can generally get a good 250g block of chocolate for the equivalent before tax of US$3.40.

As did the person you replied to.
- Comment on What are some cool/decent PC games that are not on Steam? 1 month ago:
I played it in one of their free play weekends, and it had so many glitches. I spent an afternoon and evening trying to play it and have never bothered with it again.
- Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄 1 month ago:
Calories per serving size is even more misleading here than calories per 100g, given that they’ve chosen their “serving size” by what numbers it lets them put on the packaging instead of by what someone would actually use.
- Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄 1 month ago:
Quarter of a second of spray is vastly less reasonable as a serving size, no matter how unreasonable you consider stopping at a single tictac.
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 2 months ago:
Avocado is fine. Not worth paying a premium for, but still ok. The biggest problem with it other than the price is getting it ripe (and not overripe) and unbruised. Too much effort for something that’s just fine.
