It has been remade several times, but the original is the best.
It’s only 40 minutes and available on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D55LkspO5ZU

I read it as if nobody asked them to thirst trap. We all know they do it for views, but it’s mildly confusing when you’re actually searching for arm workouts to be presented with an instructor who tries to show her butt every chance. It’s something they came up with unprompted.

It means that nobody asked for or requested it, but they still do or state something stupid. They just do “that”, even if they don’t have to.
I think it originates and makes the most sense in someone posting a wild defensive explanation for something that wasn’t attacked to begin with, only because they want to state their opinion on something that nobody gives a shit about.
If the thing is stupid enough to be funny on it’s own, then it can easily be omitted, but it has that extra layer of the poster basically asking “why’d they wanna do that”. This indicates that the poster themselves is two steps away from whatever foolish thing is going on and only observing them for amusement.

I never thought much about the concept of marriage in a fantasy setting. Are they going to describe the rules for mutually shared tax deductions in the next version of DnD? It could get complicated with all the different religions and races.

Just about any kind of fish that lives in the forest.
I never said he was good at fishing.

He didn’t catch any fish, so the woman has to feed him.

A solar flare would solve lots of things besides TikTok.
It would cause many problems too, but I’m not sure they’re worse than the problems we have now.

You need to be more specific. There’s 5 other diatonitic modes between G major and G minor, and that’s before we get into altered modes.

So maybe it’s possible to grow a pumpkin large enough for a horse carriage and nobody has done it yet?
- Comment on Contrast 1 week ago:
How big are they in volume?
A ton of water is just one cubic meter, so I suppose it’s still not big enough to make jack-o’latern house.
- Comment on Anon steams up the sauna 2 weeks ago:
You can talk private if you have a private sauna.
In a public one, nobody wants to listen to others small talk.
- Comment on Anon steams up the sauna 2 weeks ago:
It’s not difficult.
Shut the door. Shut up. Sit down and keep your mouth shut.
You are allowed to aks “löyly?” and yell “Shut the door!” at appropriate times, but otherwise just shut the fuck up.

- Comment on Happy labor day to real workers 2 weeks ago:
It’s the funniest thing that labour day is celebrated on May 1st. almost everywhere else than in USA, because the date of May 1st. was chosen because of the Haymarket Affair in USA.
It was president Cleveland who was afraid that the celebration might strengthen socialist ideas.

- Comment on Would moving/shifting in the 4th (spacial) dimension be fatal? 2 weeks ago:
I suppose it depends on what shape you already have in the 4th dimension.
If you or the current 3d space don’t already occupy any length in the 4th dimension, then you’d simply disappear from the world, or from your point of view, the world around you would disappear. Just like a cutout stick figure on a piece of paper.
Now, you can obviously move a flat piece of paper upwards without destroying the drawing, so if your friend is kind enough to include your surroundings in the dimensional shifting, then you’d be fine. Fly around the 4th dimension in your bedroom or whatever.
- Comment on How do we stop people from defending billionares and trillion dollar companies? 2 weeks ago:
Be vocal about it. Not just online. Word of mouth is much stronger than a thousand online posts.
Posting about it on the fediverse does jack shit, because we already agree. Posting on Facebook or shitter where the boot lockers are also does jack shit, because the algorithm will sort your opinion out of where it needs to be, and it’s cost free for them to post their angry indoctrinated talking points.
However there’s absolutely nothing Zuckerberg or Musk can do to stop you from expressing your opinion to your family and friends in real life.
I’m fucking done with avoiding topics of politics out of politeness at family gatherings. I have absolutely no desire to cozy up in unspoken agreements of class war or racism or fascism.
I speak up, and so should you. Keep in mind that you need to repeat a point at least 3 times before they even begin thinking about it themselves. And that’s what you want: Them to start thinking. They will come to right conclusion if they just start thinking.

It is over production.
If a manufacturer sells out the entire production, it means that they’ve missed potential sales. They could have produced and sold more, so that’s what they’re going to do for next season.
When a company has over production, they won’t just drop the price to hand off the products. To some degree they do, in outlets and other off season sales that don’t interfere with the main sale. But even then, there’s a lower limit to how cheap they can sell it off without damaging their perceived price point. Wholesale buyers are not going to buy from a brand that can’t keep a high enough price for the retailers to earn money on the markup. The price must be artificially kept up by not making the products available too cheap on the main market. The result is that some items just don’t ever get sold out, only because the product has lost its resale value. That’s over production.
Budgets go up, because the owners want more. If they had owners who were satisfied with making less money consistently, they could easily adjust their production to the demand and settle for that steady income. But they want more, so they will always attempt to sell more.
What EU is doing now is to force the manufacturers to pay for the damage of their overproduction. The solution for the companies to avoid this is to figure out their actual sales better and/or make on-demand production. On-demand production of textile is difficult, because even fast fashion has a pipeline of about a year, and they need to know well in advance how much textile they need to make the products. A solution to that is to forget about fast fashion and make products that are sold over several seasons instead, and by using more basic textiles in their designs instead of printed patterns that only have appeal for a very limited time.

The developing countries don’t want our surplus, because it stops them from developing their own local production and markets.

This might be semantic, but it’s not by design. There is no design.
The purpose is to fuck people over, because the purpose of a system is what the system does, regardless of what it was designed to do.
- Comment on The uber wealthy arent leaving. Its a lie. 3 weeks ago:
Of course not.
Imagine feasting at an all-you-can-eat buffet with all variations of food from all over the world, and then the waiter informs you that you can have as much of everything as you like for free, except that you’re not allowed to eat the last slice of cucumber if there’s only one left.
Would you leave?

It would be nice with some kind of linear quest in minecraft.
However if they were procedurally generated, I’d lose interest. That’s just another layer of grinding.
