Sounds like a fair trade to me. Cool leaves are awesome and bomb pops are delicious.

So that’s what they do with it after bottom surgery

If you step in dog poop, do you just wipe it off or do you wash your foot?

The jumping off a bridge one is especially egregious. Searching things like that usually give you the phone number for the suicide hotline, but Google decided they have to show their stupid AI before anything else.

The Android app is incredible. WolframAlpha has a premium subscription, but I don’t get why anyone would pay for it when the app includes all the same features.

It actually flips up, so it takes up minimal counter space when you’re not using it

Mine is a toaster oven/air fryer combo and it’s amazing. I don’t even touch my normal oven anymore.
- Comment on 92% of young people would sacrifice other perks for a 4-day workweek—here's what they'd give up 7 months ago:
No one said everybody had to work the same four days. If one custodian works Monday - Thursday and another works Tuesday - Friday, that still covers a full 5 day week. The whole reason for a 4 day work week is that, right now, life is all work all the time. If you work a 9-5 Monday - Friday and you need to go to the doctor, who is only open 9-5 Monday - Friday, the only way to see them is to take time off of work.

Ahh, I see! Personally, I think if everyone was able to afford a home, then buying and selling one wouldn’t really be a hassle.

The problem is when they price their drugs way above what’s reasonable just because they know people are going to have to pay it.
This is exactly the problem with landlords. The argument for landlords being that some people can’t afford to own a home becomes a bit moot when landlords buy up all the houses and rent them back at unaffordable prices.
Why is it any different with a house?
Because you rent a car for, like you said, a vacation. That’s like renting a hotel room. You rent a home to live in. If you could afford a mortgage, you’d buy a home. But landlords basically go “hey, the bank doesn’t think you make enough money to make regular payments, so make those payments to me instead.”

Maybe we wouldn’t have a problem if you didn’t invest in people’s livelihood like the stock market

Is this supposed to be some kinda gotcha? You think everyone being able to purchase a home is some kinda outlandish impossible feat?

So does the person who made your coffee this morning not deserve a place to live? What about the person who delivered your dinner? The person who delivers your mail? The one who picks up your trash? The people who built your house? The person who stocks your groceries?
