I'm not talking about the uses for the tool, I'm talking about how you used the company's own website as a point of reference for the tool's capabilities. They have a profit motive so of course they're not going to advertise unsavory uses for their product, just like your knife companies aren't going to advertise that their product can be used for mutilation.
Tbh attempting to replace sugar with "sugar alternatives" is part of the problem. The other part of the problem is that commercial goods are sold with a fuckton of super sugar (high fructose corn syrup et al.) added to them which is completely unnecessary. If you just try to get your sugar from natural sources and try to eat some fiber with it (whole fruit is perfect for this) you're on the right track.
The short version is simply: don't drink your sweets
So true. I was watching this on a whim recently and noticed Ted is just an incomprehensibly annoying human being. This guy constantly ignores good advice because wHaT aBoUt TrUe LoVe and is constantly dragging his so-called friends into his shenanigans and inevitable failures. Also he's a bad friend to pretty much all of the other central characters and will constantly turn them down or ignore their needs in his relentless pursuit to find a girlfriend. Even Barney, the supposed sex hound, frequently makes time for his friends and genuinely wants to see them have a good time. Not Ted. Ted is a selfish bastard who thinks one "grand gesture" can make up for any transgression, so he let's minor transgressions build until he has to make a grand gesture to smooth things over. That guy is toxic.
PSA most white garments are dyed white and will yellow if bleached. There are almost no "true white" fabrics/fibers in nature (cotton and wool are more cream colored, for example) so be careful using bleach on your clothes
I like the allegory to magic you're implying at some points because it really seems like an apt comparison for the way an SS uses the legal/government system. Like it's some sort of arcane power and they can harness it for their own gains with certain incantations ("I comprehend"), runes (writing legal codes on your envelope to get out of paying postage), or crafted artefacts (fake IDs and license plates).
Not malware, just ad revenue generators. Although I guess this depends on how widely you define "malware" since many of them are probably scraping, at a minimum, usage statistics while you play and possibly also device data and who knows what else.
You get 1-2 minutes of gameplay in between each ad and all of the "levels" are probably generated once by a program (rather than a human actually designing the level layout/challenges) to minimize startup costs. I'd be willing to bet that if you traced the ownership structures for the types of games the OP is talking about you'd find a handful of megacorps owning hundreds of them and just reusing assets and programming as well.
Then of course there's the sinister preying on your psychology in subtle ways to keep you invested just enough to sit through the ad the play the next level.
People told me "oh yeah, gaming on Linux is a comparable or even better experience compared with gaming on windows." Well after a whole weekend spent troubleshooting and trying different distros only to get 20fps max and no controller support for a 5 year old pc game I went back to windows and was playing within about 30 minutes including the time to install the OS.
Edit: Before you go giving me tips: yes, I tried that too. You're missing the point if your solution to the above is "more troubleshooting, I guess."
Sometimes I feel slightly robbed when this happens. Like damn I was just gearing up for a marathon troubleshooting session and now I just get to use the software as intended?
Yes. Just got back from the pediatrician and the take home handout said (again) not to feed your kid juice as there's little to no nutritional value and a butt load of sugar
Not sure how common this is nationally, but around here it's also common for the older generation to maintain two properties a "home" in the city/metro area near their kids or grandkids and a "cabin" which is literally a second home somewhere else.
I think it'd be great to give up the home in the metro and downsize to a condo or apartment, but that's just me.

But go on with your pedantry I guess.
