They’re kind of being an asshole all over the thread. I don’t know why women asking men to not comment in a women’s forum has them so hot and bothered, but it sure has them on the warpath lol.
If you want a great rundown on the history and craziness of English, may I recommend this video? It does a pretty good breakdown of how our language got to be such a mess.
Yeah, if they didn’t have such bad engine and transmission issues as they get older I’d probably go for another one. As it is, I was thinking of a venza, but like hell that’s happening anymore.
No, it was still their fault. Most of the party was relatively poorly provisioned, and inexperienced at long overland travels. They were warned about how bad the trail was, but chose the advice of the shopkeeper who had never taken the trail over the advice of the men who had actually been on it.
They reached the Great Salt Lake too late in the year, but still elected to press ahead regardless. Once they reached the lush valley before the pass they again decided to press on, despite it being late October. And so they got trapped. They had no-one skilled at fishing or trapping, and they hunted too close to the camp, so their gunshots scared away all the bigger game. Honestly it’s impressive any of them survived. If they hadn’t found those cabins they probably wouldn’t have.
No, it’s the one where a nasty racist old lady hated her Mexican-American neighbors, so she researched stand-your-ground laws, then went over and snatched one of the kids’ toys while they were playing in the front yard.
Then, when the mom went over to talk to her about getting the toy back, the nasty old lady shot her dead, claiming she ‘feared for her life’ and ‘thought it was a burglar’.
Yup. Until recently we had a bad habit of giving other creatures tests geared towards mammals and then, when the reptile or insect or whatever didn’t ‘do well’ (because duh) our scientists declared that obviously meant they were stupid.
Like snakes were thought of as really dumb because they wouldn’t solve a maze to get to a piece of food like rats would.
Now, snakes can go sometimes a year without needing to eat, so of course they looked at the maze and said ‘Um, why should I go through all that effort, again? Eh, think I’ll take a nap instead.’
When scientists got smart enough to offer them a comfy dark place to take a nap as a reward, suddenly they were solving the mazes as fast as rats did.
(Of course intelligence does vary. Kingsnakes, for instance, obviously have a timeshare on the single orange braincell.)
I don’t. I remember tales my grandparents told me of what their parents went through in the Great Depression. I have 0 interest in experiencing any of those things myself.
Wow, you really don’t know anything about supply and infrastructure, do you? Dude, this is, like, econ 101. I’m sorry you got such a poor education; you should probably get your money back from whatever school you went to.
Think about it. Do you really think that the pasta companies in the US have entire production lines and factories sitting idle? Or that they only run for a few hours a day and then everyone goes home? Of course not. They’re running at capacity for as long as they can every day. They don’t have the ability to ramp up pasta production.
To increase pasta production in the US, those companies would have to either expand their current facilities, or build new ones. And despite what idiotic talking conservative heads seem to think, it is physically impossible for that to happen with the snap of a finger.
Take it from someone whose company is working on upgrading a current facility. Not expanding, mind you; just upgrading. The permitting process alone took us two years. Construction itself will be at least a year and a half. So that’s 3-4 years to build/expand a new factory, maybe more.
That means you’re looking at 3-4 years at a minimum before those US companies can replace the pasta that’s not in our economy anymore. Which means for 3 years or more most Americans won’t be able to afford (or even acquire in the first place) what is a staple food, especially for poor families. That’s what your initial comment boiled down to: starving the poor in the hopes that it might get better eventually.
And all of this is assuming the companies have the money to do all this in the first place. Even upgrades aren’t cheap; a whole-ass new building is crazy expensive. Not every company has that kind of cash, and if the banks aren’t convinced it’ll be a good return on their investment, then getting a loan for it isn’t happening either. Which delays things further as fewer companies will be able to build to meet demand.
I’d say it is, because while it’s a slow burn the buildup leads to some pretty epic payoffs.
And the game will not only take you through each story in sequence so you don’t have to worry about spoilers, it will lock you out of progressing class quests (if they have spoilers, and the later ones often have at least a few) until you’ve played the relevant story parts. So it’s extra-anti-spoiler.
Most hobbies are wasteful? Who cares? Let people have fun. At least the pumpkin and all the nutrients in it can be tilled back into the soil it came from.
You know, you could have just kept your thoughts to yourself, and then no-one would ever know you have no idea how markets and supply work, or how much effort and cost actually go into making pasta at home.
Was there any particular reason you wanted to put your ignorance on display?
Circumcision removes a lot of the sensitive tissue, making it harder for a man to climax, especially while masturbating.
It’s done primarily by religious loons to ‘keep men from committing sin’, since they believe the only way a man should ever climax is during penetrative sex with a woman. But even then a circumcised man will feel less pleasure than an uncircumcised one.
So this is primarily done to get some of the feeling back, both to be able to masturbate easier and to have greater pleasure during sex.
I’ve been hearing the argument that since it was AI, ‘it’s not real porn’. Which is the slimiest, scummiest argument I’ve seen.
The second slimiest was that the girl deserves to be punished for fighting back after NONE of the adults at school helped her.
Like, if she’d thrown hands right off she probably should have gotten a scolding, but she tried to get the adults to intervene. They’re the ones who made it clear to her that she had to handle it herself. So she did.
