I’M BIG IN YA PAN! I’M BIG IN YA PAN!

It is sad to think about how many people must have worked hard to produce such an awful book cover.

I definitely agree the language issue is much more solvable at home. Going back to the OP, their goal was to counteract depression by going out to a movie. I’m not sure that watching TV at home is going to fulfill the goal. Maybe - watching a DVD together is better than doomscrolling at least.

Stop overthinking it. This is a platform for discussion. Let people ask a damn question.

Maybe if you’d held your tongue instead of making that apparently worthless comment about plastic, we’d all have an example to learn from.

Those are great points. What payment model do the Catholic hospitals usually use? Free to everyone? Or are they operating the hospitals but only under whatever insurance or government coverage exists? I’m sure it varies around the world but I’m curious about the US especially. I think I was born in a Catholic founded hospital. But it seems like they are just the care provider and not so much the funding provider. The world “healthcare” has two meanings in this way.

No one’s arguing. You chipped in. It didn’t make sense. You can’t make it make sense, apparently. I guess we really are done here then.

So what? That’s not an answer to my question or a followup to your comment.

It’s stunning that they got 30% to say yes I’m a traitor. That’s deafening opposition under the circumstances.

I hope that Russian 70% number is high because people are lying. The article attributes it to independent pollsters running surveys in Russia. With the kind of skullduggery that goes on in Russian politics, you’ve got nothing to gain by taking chances.

I’ll never forget stepping off a plane in the dark at 10pm, to 97 degree heat in Texas. Can’t wait until that’s the best Earth has to offer.

I wonder how many countries’ healthcare the Vatican hoard could fund in perpetuity. The number is greater than one.

Nice. He understands there’s a better way than praying and small time charity work. Now if he can just convince his flock…

When it’s that high for years their hand may be forced. It’s a very slow ship to try to turn around.

I actually didn’t say I spoke for all bi men, I said I spoke for bi men everywhere. And I promise you there are bi men everywhere who dislike JD Vance.

You don’t mind a dumb bigoted meme. Congratulations. And now I’m getting the fuck your feelings speech. I have a better idea: how about you go fuck yourself.

I reflected your point back about in another context to demonstrate how weak and wrong it is. Maybe If anyone minds, don’t do it.

Either pitiful delusions or deliberate scaremongering (or both). Rest in dirt, motherfucker.

Power generation is predominantly coal and natural gas. Liquid petroleum, the base material for plastics, is used very little for electrical generation.

So do you want to explain again how using more renewables instead of coal and natural gas is going to drive up plastic production? I think your point is just reflexively pessimistic.

Wow, no exaggerated clickbait here.

And animal cruelty will be totally unaffected.
