You can also get weird with it. Brandon Sanderson likes to tie money to a world’s magic system so in the world where people have metal based magic it’s coins called clips and boxings, but in the world where hurricanes make gemstones glow with magic it’s spheres of glass with gems called chips, marks, and broams

4 and 5 have very different answers depending on race. I’m white, have a Midwestern accent, and was born here. I can look at this person like they’re a moron and ask if they’ve never heard an ohio accent before or what. A Latino born in the same hospital who grew up a town over has to be more diplomatic about explaining that them and their parents were born here.
Similarly a white person naturalized from Australia can be a lot more blase than a brown person naturalized from anywhere.

I think it’s that once you’re wealthy enough to spend all your time doing whatever you want firstly you probably broke your brain and soul to get there and secondly you probably are just going to burn out on pleasure.
Like, I love me some cheap and easy pleasures. I’ve enjoyed orgies and I’ve drank my way into nights where all I remember is that I had fun. But simple pleasures and nice things are enhancements to a happy life. You need more which may ironically mean pursuing the middle way, or it may just mean learning to cherish a simple night in with a loved one.

- Comment on PUT THE TRAINS IN THE BAG 1 week ago:
It’s about need. Like yeah, Chicago through the Dakotas is easy as pie, but the demand would be to seattle and that crosses two mountain ranges and the only stops between Minnesota and Seattle with much demand there would be at national parks.
Like yeah it would be awesome as hell and the American version of the CCP would absofuckinglutely have a high speed rail to Yellowstone and the badlands since they’re on the way. But Yellowstone is past the start of the mountains and you need to connect all the way to seattle for it to be more than a vanity project.
The important lines are the NY-Chicago (land is dirt cheap for lots of it, mountains are small, and population is dense with several makor cities you can hit) and the west coast line (basically actually do California high speed rail, then extend it from San Diego to just outside British Columbia

Or that Tylenol is able to aggravate a pathway that results in development of autism. This would move it from “Tylenol causes autism” to “maternal use of Tylenol may be a trigger for development of autism in utero”. The latter statement would also require providing compelling that autism (or a condition currently indistinguishable from it) is either not genetic as currently suspected or is like schizophrenia in requiring both a genetic predisposition and a “trigger”.
Now, that’s quite a bit to have to prove and there’s no way in hell RFK Jr of all people managed to figure it out in 6 fucking months. So yeah if China or the EU starts saying this maybe it’s worth considering the possibility, otherwise it’s just another unsubstantiated claim that unfortunately means pregnant people are going to be recommended it’s not worth risking
- Comment on Brickshelf 1 week ago:
Yeah red bricks are a classic but the color of bricks is tied to mineral composition in local clays. If you’ve got nice ferrous clays nearby you can get some of that classic English and new English red brick without having to ship it. Meanwhile elsewhere you may have something like Chicago’s yellow brick, or New Mexico’s “use a different material if you don’t want to pay out the ass shipping bricks across the continent”.
Local architecture styles will use local materials and barring some really weird situations (like that part of Arizona where the local material was petrified wood) that’ll be the cheap and abundant resource available to you. Though there’s always concrete

- Comment on International travel 1 week ago:
You sound like a yank. The international bias is against all of us. You might be able to get a different bias if you assert that you’re Californian, but a random Spaniard doesn’t know what a Midwest or a new jersey is and is annoyed that Americans expect everyone to know.
It’s like if a Mexican were to assure you that they’re from Chiapas when you ask if they’re Mexican. Firstly the average American doesn’t know what Chiapas is, and will probably assume it’s either a city or country, not a state, but even if they know it’s a state in Mexico they don’t know what the hell that means because most Americans don’t know shit about Mexican internal politics and safety.

- Comment on how do school shooters know how to use guns? 2 weeks ago:
You aren’t American are you? Many families here teach their children to use guns. It’s considered irresponsible to keep guns in a house with children and not teach them to use them (though you should keep the guns locked up and away from them when not in use).
Also it’s really easy to shoot a gun without training if you don’t give a fuck about not wasting ammo or who or what you hit. Especially if you’re aiming at a crowd. It’s rare for school shooters to be decent marksmen, rather they just bring a gun with decent rate of fire and a ton of ammo and shoot into a crowd

Hell, I don’t know many people willing to drop 4k on a gaming rig. Most people I know with a gaming computer are in the 1-2k range and miss when you could get decent performance under 1k. Like, if I can’t get playable performance out of a several years old mid range computer I’m not buying your game, especially not for $70
