I work at a hospital and most of the patients there are definitely older than dirt people getting surgeries just to extend their life a few years or even months. Most of the time it is family members making those decisions because they don't want or know how to say goodbye. We have had patients that effectively died, but the family insists on keeping their organs alive with machines in the hopes that they wake up.

As for the meaning of life? I think it is 100% to entertain ourselves until death. Even if there was a greater meaning created by some deity, we're probably not able to understand it anymore than a donkey could understand calculus. I personally could never trust any human to tell me who or what god is and/or wants. And god has yet to reveal theirself to me...

When I worked in retail, I'd have customers ask me to raise or lower the temperature in the store I worked at. "Of course!" I'd say and then disappear into the back area and play on my phone for a couple of minutes. I'd come back out and ask if it was starting to feel better, to which they'd reply, "I feel it working already, thank you!"

I'm in school for electrical engineering. Everyone I tell that to then says they are going to hire me to fix the electrical issues at their house.

Seek and iNaturalist is for all animals and plants. They use your photos to track data about the species you take pictures of, mostly just where you found them. It also keeps track of all of the species you've found and gives you challenges to find certain species depending on where you are in the world. If the AI fails to identify something, your photo can be peer reviewed by other users.

I always think it's what I sound like until I hear a recording of myself. My real voice is a little bit deeper, but other than that it's close.

I've never heard of toothpowder. What prevents people from scooping out a little bit and scrubbing their brush into that?

There were a few times that users were gifted awards to give out too.

This happened to me. I went through the payment process and finished on a confirmation page. A week later I got a notice that I didn't pay and was being fined. I looked at my bank statements and sure enough the charge never went through. I didn't make a big deal of it because the fine was barely more than what I would've been charged anyway.

I don't know anything about mailbox.org, but I'm sure it's way less sketchy than Google. It's just interesting you would praise their free video conferences after posting "if you don't pay with money, you pay with data."

There is the option to tag your account as a bot, so I would assume not.

They list nearly the last 80 episodes to be filler. I haven't watched past the first two arcs in Naruto but do those last 80 episodes not contribute to any story or arc at all?

I saw him do a show in Florida and he started bashing republicans during a joke when a bunch of people in the audience started booing and leaving. He calls them all dipshits and dives into doing a bunch of jokes further questioning their intelligence before winning back the crowd. It was very impressive.

I don't think it's necessary to compare yourself to others here. The consumption goal should just be to consume less and every effort makes a difference. If you eat red meat every day, then try every other day. If you already do that, try once a week. If you feel you can consume even less then have it as a rare treat or just cut it out entirely.

I just recently started Don Quixote and have only just made it into part 2, but he doesn't really strike me as a hero. Maybe in his own head he thinks so. He's certainly the protagonist, but from what i've read so far, he's been rather antagonistic towards the people he interacts with.

I DECLARE THE AMERICAN PARTY!!!!

Thank goodness you called video games out as being a luxury so everyone doesn't notice you have no real argument for why it's OK for DRM to exist. You almost looked really silly.

I appreciate the response. We'll try our best to get out to some of the other towns, but our main focus is the dental work. I appreciate all of the tips and suggestions!

I went to Universal around last Christmas and they had an awesome drone show. I had never seen anything like it and didn't even know it was a thing. 100% better than a fireworks display.

Hi, I am an American and will be visiting your country very soon! I've never been outside of the US and know very little Spanish. I'm going with a family member who is getting dental work done and well be in San Jose. We're very excited for the trip, do you have any tips for first timers?

I really enjoy Flightless Bird. It's a New Zealand journalist that moved to America to report on all of the things he finds strange about the US. As an American I have fun listening his fascination of all the weird things here especially when it comes to corporate america.
