Most of them are probably closer to novellas by word count, that’s a good point.

Alright but apart from the sugar and the fiber and the antioxidants and the vitamins and the minerals and the enzymes, what has fruit ever done for us?

Bloodborne has a deep story but good luck figuring out what it is

Money being worth more than it was 2 years ago also means any debt you carry is suddenly worth more than it was when you borrowed it…

M2 is one way to measure the total amount of money in the economy. M0 is all cash money in circulation. M1 is M0 plus all money that can be spent at will, for instance in checking and savings accounts. M2 includes M0 and M1, plus stuff like short term deposits and money market funds.

When M2 shrinks it means there’s less spendable money in the economy, so people spend less. Businesses tend to have to lower their prices to get people to buy. The value of a dollar (or a yen or whatever) goes up, which sounds awesome except for a few huge catches. Now it’s always better to hang on to money rather than exchange it for goods and services. It also weirdly increases the value of debt, so anyone who borrowed anything going into this is screwed. If you’re still reading there’s other stuff that happens like it becomes almost impossible to avoid mass layoffs and monetary policy basically implodes but this shit is boring and I want to go back to getting high and watching the Simpsons

They are employee owned, though, and having worked at one of their competitors who is union the UFCW is ass. Winco might also be terrible to work at, idk, I just gotta say that union did not help me at all.

It better be at least 51% visual novels

It’s a unique number assigned to every cellular device.

Without the industrial revolution I wouldn’t even exist; setting aside the butterfly effect of my parents never having met because they’re from different parts of the country for a moment I owe my existence to modern medicine, which would not exist without industrialization.

in favor but only if you primarily, ahem, “help” billionaire neighborhoods.

Mamdani is not the mayor of Gaza or the mayor of Jerusalem and New York has a pretty full plate rn. His position on the matter is known, if you want someone to fix foreign policy look to people whose job it is to shape foreign policy.

You kidding? This person used to be a good customer and now they dont buy anything! This is very contextual

I gotta say I do miss having a president that could come out and give like an 8th grade level of explanation for shit. Not just “oh uhhh damn thats… no its fine probably”

Well if they called it Steam Controller 2 what would they call the next one?

Yeah I’m pretty sure the bible says to pass judgment upon your sister and refuse to patronize her business if she believes differently from you. Jesus famously refused to spend any time at all woth people who weren’t holy enough, thats why he got along with the Pharisees so well.

You realize you’re supposed to think Dante’s an asshole in that scene right? Like Kevin Smith literally gets in front of the camera and tells him he’s taking Veronica for granted. Dante is a whiny hypocrite who deserves to learn a painful lesson. That is the entire point of the movie. There are a lot of criticisms you can level at Clerks but celebrating slut shaming ain’t one of them.

AI has not pushed me one inch towards suicide. Then again I treat it like a calculator for words and not a therapist

I can think of a couple

• expectation management: sometimes call volume is genuinely high, and if you set a floor at say 10 minutes it only feels like a 5 minute difference if the caller’s actual wait time is 15
• engineering downtime to allow agents time to complete paperwork or catch up on emails
• make us all so annoyed with the process of waiting in line we welcome AI agents as liberators
