- Comment on How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach? 2 weeks ago:
I meant vosotros, yes, thank you! Sorry, it’s been over two decades since I was in Spanish class; I mixed vos and vosotros up.

I’m a bit concerned with myself that I instantly recognized the nose. You didn’t let me down.

Maybe it’s because I’m from California, but we learned Mexico-Spanish. The books included Spain-Spanish (i.e. vos conjugations), but my teachers never included it in our lessons.

Fuck, I am so sorry people are saying that to you. I can see myself saying it to a close friend as a gallows humor joke, but not with a stranger.
Hugs to you, my friend. You still being around, you not giving up - that is heroic.

If you have money to invest, you aren’t struggling to survive.

I don’t disagree with you that slave labor is bad regardless of who, what, where, how. I disagree, however, that there’s not much difference between purchasing products you need and investing in a business.
Some folks can’t afford anything except cheap clothing/household goods from overseas, where they are often made in sweatshops with slave and/or child labor; it’s not their fault that they can’t afford to purchase ethical products. No one needs to invest in a business, though, so choosing to invest in one that deals in slavery is that investor’s fault.
For those of us who can afford ethically-sourced/made items, though, I agree that it’s quite similar. I have no excuses other than people are, as a whole, not good to each other. :(

Anyone voluntarily participating in the US for-profit prison system is, almost assuredly, a problematic person with questionable morals.
It’s literally making money off of slavery. If you would not be proud to call yourself a slave-owner, I’d hope you would also not be proud to invest in slavery.
Royal “you,” by the way. Not OP, specifically.

I’ve seen some folks say it could be a result of steroid abuse, and I didn’t care enough to research whether it was true. If he did abuse steroids, his supremely shrunken raisins could help explain the cybertruck.

And not quite as perky. His chest bump is essentially in the middle of his torso. Makes me think of the 1990s polygonal Lara Croft every time I see it.

Seconding everything here, but emphasizing point 2. Some folks have metal allergies or sensitivities - nickel is a common one, for example.
Surgical steel is usually safe, but still best to confirm she doesn’t have any particular sensitivities.

I wish this were still the case. The last time I saw one of these was a year or so ago and I was excited to freeze. Unfortunately, the room AC was through a different, more modern, device. They just left the classic to toy with my emotions.

The only time I saw one was on a cheap dollar store plug. I immediately thought it was defective.
This is neat info!

I’m so disappointed in myself that I can’t find a way to make the surprised pikachu meme an appropriate response to this.
I cackled nonetheless.

But…I actually love pikachu and gaming. :(
Specifically Ash’s pikachu, and no other, but still.
Wait, does this mean Nintendo owes me money? Because I’ll accept.

This…is disturbing. And bizarre.
I like it. Humorous NSFW wordplay may be my new kink.
