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.

The funny thing is that a deal which brings foreign investment to Ukraine can be good for Ukraine even if the minerals are sold on terms very favorable to the USA. I wish Trump didn't make it sound like extortion but who knows - maybe that's what gets Republican voters on board.

Termites and ants are natural enemies.

Like beetles and ants.

Or toads and ants.

Or ants and other ants.

Isn't that a termite mound?

When I was a kid, I was fascinated by dinosaurs. I wanted to be a paleontologist until I really thought about what the fact that dinosaurs are extinct means. It means that a paleontologist can only ever find the remnants of cool animals that are all already gone. Sure, the skeletons themselves are interesting but they're still just a faint trace of the real thing, which is forever in the past.

I feel something like that about modern-day traveling as a form of exploration. Seeing Machu Pichu for myself would be kind of interesting, but what's the point of repeating something millions of people have done already? I'm not going to see anything that they haven't seen. The experience might still have some hedonic value to me, but in that sense it wouldn't be different in kind from staying home and playing video games.

There's still plenty of new stuff to see and do in the world, but it's far less straightforward than just getting on a plane. You have to do scientific research, invent something, or create truly original art.

I applied and they never responded. I failed the Turing test?

I would save the analogy to a fire with the maximum number of alarms for the stuff that will happen later. This one will have just one alarm in retrospect.

This will secure an alliance with Spain.

I sometimes buy games just because I watch videos of other people playing them, in order to support the developers.

_{Yes, that will be believable...}

You should have bought stock in Cal-Maine Foods :)

Dual wield the mugs.

PS: alamy.

No, there's also the good alternate Fediverse where I don't have a goatee.

The top third is the middle class. The super-wealthy don't show up on graphs like this at all because there are so few of them.

The upper third is, as you say, the middle class. However, my main point is that the majority of people in the bottom third preferred Trump.

The poor preferred Harris almost as much as the upper middle class did, but Trump's message was particularly appealing to working class voters, which is why he was elected.

Trump is the President of the common man.

No, they're Soviet pliers he bought in the 40's. They look similar to these:

Note the pinchy parts on the outside of the pivot that will cut you if you're careless while opening the pliers.

My pliers. They're passed down from my great-grandfather. He bought them used.

Must be a soccer player.
