Also Idaho potatoes are largely prison labor. McD’s and Five Guys buy a lot of them

What a garbage take on this. You’re completely ignoring mental health, poverty, food deserts, etc.

Vanilla is key here, I’m one of those people. Tried it with chocolate ice cream once it was not stellar

Yikes x.x

I’ve never broken a rib but I do have a problem rib that likes to pop out of place sometimes. Usually from coughing but I’ve managed it a couple times from sneezes

I just had surgery a few weeks ago that included robot arms going into my tummy. A few days ago I sneezed for the first time since and immediately screamed in pain. Sneezes are weirdly hard on the body it seems

I’d 100% ruin a kid’s life and my own if I had to take care of one full time. They’re not for me I’ve always known that. I’m much better suited for being the cool aunt

They only kinda work but more importantly they need mass adoption to actually poison training data. Most people aren’t going to add another step to their posts so probably the only way to mass adopt it is to have platforms automatically poison uploaded images. I wonder if reposts on a platform like that would start to have noticable artifacts in the images like jpeg but different

That’s actually one of the reasons I stopped smoking. I normally lucid dream almost every night and wanted that back so I mostly quit weed

New update: I’m like 4 hours in and so far loving this game. It is clearly early elder scrolls inspired but it stands on its own. Very happy to be playing it

So I’m trans and find this pretty interesting. I used to have euphoria dreams where it would come off entirely. Now I’m newly post op and I’m having the occasional nightmares where it’s come back or worse, I start like disentigrating from inside and things fall out of me. Body horror dreams are wild

Somehow that sounds worse than taking the whole thing

Only reason I like using windows at my work is the only other choice is Mac, and my work mac is only sorta barely usable for what I need

I see it has big mushrooms, I’m sold downloading now

Jiufen was stunning I could spend my life there

Fuck yessss, I hope the support is good. They put so much love into that game now I want to see how extra the modding scene will get

The plane ticket was the most expensive part at about $1.2k iirc. If you planned ahead better than me it’s not hard to find $1k or even a little cheaper, granted I live in a city with an international airport so ticket prices also tend to be a bit cheaper here. A family of 4 could do $100/night hotels and get places much nicer than what we did and have enough room. Food costs are so low in Taiwan we stopped even tracking it. Maybe if you only want to eat at fancy sit down places in the center of Taipei or something food would start to add up. I’d high end estimate $10/meal/person but realistically it’s like half that

So say a family of 4 over a week, that’s $4.8k plane tickets, $700 housing, $840 food, total for all big purchase estimates here is $6,340. Cheaper tickets readily knocks $800 off without putting much effort into hunting for deals, another $400 off for food if you aren’t being fancy with it every single meal (besides the excitement of street food is probably more fun for a kid than telling them to sit still for an hour while there is so much going on outside)

Because of the disproportionate cost of the plane tickets, if you were to stay longer than a week the cost compared to Disney gets increasingly better. There are also many other international locations that can be cheaper, and thousands of places just in the US filled with unique experiences and culture that can be engaging for kids at an even better price tag

If you can afford Disney go for it. But going into debt over it is like taking a payday loan to hit up a Cheesecake Factory when there’s a block full of food trucks with a dozen cuisines just down the road for cheaper

1. Either way you’re potentially bringing a kid through the airport to an unfamiliar area with limited supplies in suitcases. My family brought me to Korea when I was very young and a terrible kid to deal with and they’ve never said it was worse than bringing me anywhere else at that age. Given the small sample size I have though I’d genuinely like to know which parts in your experience are harder
2. There is more in the world than east Asia and even just sticking to the US there are huge swaths of national forest and many cities with unique cultures that could be just as fun for a kid and even cheaper to visit than international travel
3. Taiwan was huge too with lots of cool things, arcades, food everywhere, the crayon factory, a city full of pampered cats. If you need a string of theme parks to come up with a days worth of things to keep a kid entertained than something is wrong

And I don’t mean to be entirely against theme parks. I’ve been to Universal, Legoland, Disney world, Cedar Point, among others, as a kid and with kids. My complaint is simply why would you choose to go into debt for somewhere like that when you can have just as vibrant an experience with your kids for cheaper doing something else? It’s depressing

Ffs, I went to Taiwan earlier this year for a little over a week for like $2k total, plane tickets from the US and everything (granted we stayed in some pretty sketchy hotels but it isn’t like the fancy ones were that bank-breaking). I don’t understand why people are putting their livelihoods at risk for a corporate hellscape instead of hopping to another country for a bit and seeing all the world has for us

I swear I’d claw them to death if they tried. I’m early in recovery from major surgery, today I walked to an ice cream place to get a shake. It was like 4 blocks, took everything I had in me. I’m dragging this milkshake with me to my grave that long strawed bastard can go ahead and test which of us is crazier right now

Yeah it was bad. I really needed that job since I was saving to move to Seattle and most the other jobs paid in rejected potatoes. I was there for a few months after the track by minute stuff happened so not great but I did get out of there
