All billionaires must be sociopaths
With a possible exception for Chuck Feeney who famously gave away his fortune. He was a rarity in that respect. Many billionaires dabble in philanthropy, but few give away significant portions of their wealth.

This thread is making me think of durians.
- Comment on Move over powered milk, it onion time 1 week ago:
I hated onions as a kid but enjoy them as an adult.
Yellow onions are kind of the “default” onion in my mind. Basically anything cooked in a skillet can start with some onions in butter or oil. Or as part of the base to start a soup. Most of the time, the onion itself kind of fades into the background, adding some sweet notes to a dish.
Red and white onions are more likely to be used raw (chili topping, pico, added to some salads…). But if I’m cooking, it’s usually a yellow onion.

Ah, I misinterpreted your username. Carry on, then!

Side note, I’m fascinated by your username. Are you a dragon with a sour disposition? Or more like a Sour Patch Dragon? Or a dragon who likes to eat sour patch kids? All three?

(Depending on how aggressive the new data center builds are, we might run out of water in my parents’ lifetimes, and I’m in my 40s)

Huh, I was expecting a Gallifreyan song, not this.

This made me think of the Bir Tawil dispute on the Egyptian-Sudanese border.
- Comment on This makes so much more sense 4 weeks ago:
This makes me think of that old Doctor Who episode where they’re in Pompeii, and anytime the Doctor or companion uses a Latin phrase, the locals get agitated and say things like “Hey! ME. NO. SPEAKIE. THE. CELTIC!”
Cute little quirk with the handwavey translation thing.

In the same vein, does the Kiel canal mean the Denmark is an archipelago instead of a peninsula + islands?
And the Panama canal is when America became two continents? :D

Asia is Northeast Africa, extended edition.
Europe is North Africa, extended edition.
It also leads me to count 4 continents: Africa (or Afrasia/Afro-Eurasia), America, Australia, Antarctica.

Whoosh
At this point, ‘gaslighting’ is just a synonym for ‘lying’ (or in this case, ‘making excuses’).

I play games basically every day. I don’t think I can claim 700+ straight days, though, I don’t really play games while on vacation.

I do, but it didn’t show a last name.
- Comment on Text spam aimed at my ex 2 months ago:
Ha, delightfully petty. When it comes to text spam, though, I just block. Engaging in any way just encourages the spammers.
- Comment on Text spam aimed at my ex 2 months ago:
just to see if you will respond
Yeah, could also be this. You never know.
- Comment on Text spam aimed at my ex 2 months ago:
Ugh, if I had my druthers, all text spams would trigger an electric shock on the sender. It’s such an obnoxious waste.
- Comment on Text spam aimed at my ex 2 months ago:
If it weren’t connected somehow, I wouldn’t be getting the misdirected spams.
Your theory seems likely. We bought a house together back in the “bad old days” long before we split.
It’s still a little jarring to see in my texts!
