I like(d) Swoop too though lol.

Flair!

I'm not even kidding, I prefer it to the majors. Not for everyone though lol.

Uhh what? Sushi is cheap as fuck in Japan (compared to north America at least .. and tastes way way better).

And nearly all sushi is caught weeks before it is served. Although it is kept frozen until then.

They don't have any real plumbing at all in a lot of places, which is exactly how this happens. Throwing various things into a pit toilet that will just be buried over doesn't clog anything.

I was talking about things like backcountry skiing, which I do for fun. But I'd even apply the same to a ski resort where bad weather can shut down gondolas and leave people stranded up top. And while SoCal sure sounds nice, I actually live in the mountains myself... in Canada. A place where unexpected heavy rain actually washed out a few highways last year and leaving many people stranded in previously well connected communities. Similarly, unexpected inclement weather does sink recreational boats somewhat often... which is exactly what the situation at burning man is: (very) unexpected weather.

My point was that it is a 'for fun' event in an environment not meant for humans to set up permanent infrastructure, and that's ok.

This mindset leads to no one doing anything interesting ever.

Skiing, sailing, scuba diving...none of it makes any real sense as the environments do not tend to have much infrastructure for human survival. But I can't imagine life without any illogical recreational activities such as these. It's fun.

I prefer reappropriation of the terms personally.

Yes. The first car I bought was manual and I had no experience driving manual. So my cousin test drove it for me near the sellers place and also drove it home. Then I taught myself over the next couple days on my home street before venturing further. It honestly wasn't hard, and I'm so glad I went with that vehicle too looking back as it was a great car at a great price.

They said they were in Canada and I assure you Canada doesn't give a fuck about torrents. I've been torrenting copyrighted material for 15+ years now without a VPN, no issue. Like we are talking about tens of thousands of individual torrents for movies, shows, books and software.

One is outright discrimination based on sexual orientation. The other is simply a policy applied to all patrons.

It should absolutely be legal to say 'no shoes no service' or 'has gun no service' even if it was not legal to discriminate based on sexual orientation/race/gender/etc. They aren't at all the same thing.

Adding some element of democracy (like voting on posts) could maybe improve both those marketplace sites.

I think it would improve any site really. Imagine how much better Instagram or Facebook would be if one could downvote stupid shit and the posters would see what people actually thought about their posts/comments. But that might lead to sads, and therefore less active users, so they won't allow it.

Democracy is pretty cool though imo.

Camelcamelcamel always

I love paid time off. But the summer when tons other people are off and everything is busy/expensive/hot would be my very last choice.

I'm all about that off season.

The fact that regular air is 78% nitrogen probably doesn't imply what you are hoping lol.

This gets dangerous once you make semi decent money though. Like why would I take public transit that takes an hour to get there for $2.50, when I could just take a cab that costs $25 and only takes 30min to get there.

Like, sure...if making $50+/h one can justify it. But one could also instead save $23.50 for the piggy bank by taking the bus. And the 30min extra is not time one would have been at work getting paid anyway (unless your taking the bus/taxi to work I guess and actually gain 30min of pay).

"How was your weekend/days off"

It was great as always because I wasn't here, please stop reminding me.

Yep, tipping is fundamentally unethical.

Or wildly unlucky, depending on how one looks at it.

Back in the day my grandma would literally mute TV ads and look away while setting a timer to indicate when to look back. So I come from a long line of people refusing to watch ads and not about to start now.

Drug dealers are arguably pretty evil...but there is undeniably huge demand for the products. And getting rid of a dealer won't solve addiction itself.
