Better than anything said in the movie

Depends, how fat? Like I'd say I'm fat if I'm not fitting in my clothes and that's probably 4kgs extra. If I had a partner I'd expect support to get to my desired weight again. Even if I'm still within an acceptable BMI with or without those extra kilos. If I was going too underweight I'd expect them to talk me back to my senses.

Oh wait the reason the surcharges are there is to encourage customers to make good choices? You sure is not because some company can make a profit with no effort or investment in what was already there?

Love songs in Spanish, especially from Arjona, Enrique Iglesias or Luis Miguel but not limited to those.

Also christmas songs, very annoying

Hi there. My feet are the same size, although I would say the whole left side of my body is slightly, just slightly, larger than the right. I don't feel any difference between my feet with regards to shoe size.

Having said that, I do get callused soles on my left, and I wear out the shoe soles slightly more as well.

I used to wear cheap shoes when I was younger, but my experience is that they always rub me off on some spot or another in a painful way, or just feel painful when walking or standing for long periods of time. I haven't had those kinds of problems since switching to expensive shoes. I also noticed the expensive ones are not that much more of an investment since they last longer.

So yeah I'm not saying that's the solution to everything but good quality shoes definitely helps.

Trying to keep up with the Orcas I guess

Eclairs what?

ECLAIRS WHAT, MOTHERF*****

This is material for No Stupid Questions or Ask Lemmy communities, not a Showerthought

My thoughts exactly. All I can think of is that religious devotion requires giving away your brain??? It really is a bizarre illustration

We are not talking about what the most realistic case scenario would be if something like royalties were implemented. Of course companies will find ways to screw their workers, for example, with speculative profit as part of payment etc etc. I'm with you in that yes that's what's most likely to happen if it were applied in our society in this day and age and in some countries it would go worse than in others. We get that.

The whole point of this comment thread was what isn't happening, therefore, which morals or ethical considerations one doesn't need to mind because of that. It's not that "this payment style would be better if implemented", rather, " if payment worked that way, pirating would be harmful to the workers"

Ok, just curious, I can think of other things that would make someone "successful" in the music world but I think talent would still be in my top 10 for sure. Not essential as I said, you don't need to check everything in the list.

What are your top 10s?

Fame comes with the right social connections and luck. Talent helps, but is secondary. Of course, if you have all three, you become very very well known and people will feel you deserve in some way the fame and fortune you have.

I'm not the person you replied to at any point in the thread, and I agree that there is potential for a slippery slope in a similar way it happens with tipping culture.

But my understanding of the original comment was that workers should also get a share of profit after the game is released, with no changes to the salary they received during the production stage which is just covering for labor as it happens everywhere else. Upfront payment and royalties, proportional to profit. (This type of arrangement is unusual but exists, or used to exist, in publishing, for both authors and illustrators).

The idea wasn't to change it one for the other but hypothetically add it, but we know greed won't allow that to happen, which is used as a moral point for piracy: you are not hurting the people who did the hard work at all

But you and your friend wouldn't download a car now would you...

TIL you can say apes for bees in Latin, I only knew apis

This is clearly not a showerthought, so...

Cool!

I took only one med elective at uni but it was musculoskeletal anatomy (1001). I missed out on nerves and circulatory system, I think that was 1002. That's ok I guess.

Sir/Ma'am all you had to do was phrase it as a question, not a statement

I'm sure there have to be more specialized communities for this though

Well then, I'm that opportunity - I don't get why this hairstyle prompts that comment. Hint: ( ^{I don't know much about the brachial plexus} )

Wait, weevils fuck on people's faces?
