A nickel is smaller and thicker, and has a smooth edge compared to the quarter. Can you not tell the difference?

I feel we should simplify that even further by saying undermorrow.

Who said anything about angry and defensive? I said you were obsessive.

Yes, but the average persons individual efforts mean fuck all in the scheme of things. It's not individuals that make the difference, it's the collective effort.

Which, frankly, doesn't mean shit in this hypothetical situation. Hypothetically you could use your infinite money to create enough carbon offsets to completely fix the climate entirely for everyone everywhere.

Obsessing about small things like that to the complete rejection of all joy in life won't solve anything. If anything it will drive away any positive influences in your life, making you a joyless curmudgeon who can help no one.

Vacations are one incredibly small factor in the overall picture. In order to combat the negative impact we've had on our climate we need to fundamentally change pretty much every aspect of our lives from the top down.

And you're free to be disappointed, but just don't be surprised when other people think less of you for trying to ruin what little guilt-free fun people can have.

I'm assuming you're talking about the All American, as that's the main one I could find. About fifteen days, and $2400. Which is about as much as a three to five day cruise, depending on cruiseline.

Being bought, or being sold? There's a difference. If they're not being bought at those numbers, they'll still show up the most.

They also said "starting", which implies that's what it's being sold at, not what you see the most listings for.

Haven't they been saying that shit for like three weeks now?

At least two.

I imagine the implication is that no cryptocurrency stuff is inserted in the spot that google once occupied.

.... hunter2?

They're conflating tech with tech bros.

Tech can and does make lots of things that make our lives longer and better. Just not most of the consumer level shit that is constantly peddled by snake oil sellers. That tech is not meant to make your lives easier, it's meant to get more money out of you without giving it up to the little people at service level.

The problem isn't the tech, it's the people who are controlling the tech.

... for now

So there was more than one autocrat in charge? Like... some sort of... oligarchy or something?

You need more than a dozen or so "leaders" for communism... or, to be accurate, you need none.

Twice, technically. Once when it was canceled with season 5, then again with 7.

Cause Stalin was an autocratic douchebag who used people for his own power games?

Doesn't really have a whole lot to do with communism, though.

Yeah, but most cries (including this article) aren't "We want both" but "We want small instead". The article goes out of its way to ridicule "huge" phones.

The battle cry seems to be demanding it their way instead of variety.

They didn't need DEI because they were naturally diverse (in universe, at least).

They've rejected Donald Trump because it's not their bullshit. They'll happily take Canadian grown bullshit.

See the recent election where Doug Ford somehow won.

The defiant class was technically the only warship they built for a long time.
