I'm probably going to sound like a space alien, but enough beans to feed a grown man costs two dollars a day. The beans are nutritious and relatively palatable. When I'm left to my own devices, I eat mostly beans. Because I'm rich, I buy the canned ones so that I don't need to cook.

Is this spot fine?

Clearly it isn't.

Of course, thank you!

I guess I'll have to learn Icelandic then. It's a shame that there's no easier way to access vampire erotica.

More overtly erotic? How is that possible, unless there's a sex scene?

I looked up an actual survey of homeless people in Toronto (from 2018).

Men represent over half (54%) of all respondents surveyed, and 73% of those surveyed outdoors. Women represent 42% of respondents surveyed, and 75% of those surveyed in family shelters.

Three times as many men as women sleeping on the streets.

This median number may have a counter-intuitive explanation. I don't know about Toronto but here men form the large majority of visibly homeless people that I encounter. If that's because women have more support, then the women who remain homeless may appear to be worse off than the men because the less disfunctional women who would have brought up the average life expectancy don't end up homeless the way that the corresponding men do.

I, on the other hand, am fascinated not just by guns but by weapons (and other military technology) from throughout history. Weapons, as products of human ingenuity, are unusual in the sense that they function in direct opposition to the ingenuity of other humans. It's a very high-stakes competition.

They already have you covered. It's just missing the turret.

The vibe I like is "gritty action movie". Some people prefer something zanier.

Because I hate fun, I assume that the people in a fantasy world aren't all fools so if there's an application of magic that seems obvious but isn't already happening in the setting, there's a good reason for that.

Imagine not being able to fit through tiny openings. The hydrostatic skeleton gang is laughing at all you rigid losers.

Well I don't think teens are cool, so there!

If there's a conflict and I get to choose whether or not the side I'm on has killbots, I'll definitely choose killbots. Especially if the enemy has them.

Why aren’t burly men coming for musk?

He has the support of the people with a monopoly on violence.

How can my neighbor sit by and let it happen to me

The fact that your neighbor can't do anything is what makes it a monopoly.

Does it matter who has the monopoly on violence, if you don't? Ultimately, you pay taxes because if you refuse to for long enough, burly men with guns will eventually take your stuff and lock you up.

Skin heals, but grease stains might never wash out.

Sorry bro, but you're too late. I already proved p ~= np in the same manner.

If you can prove a contradiction then you can prove anything, and here we have ¬ads = ads. BRB there's some stuff I want to prove that I have.
