The densest is yellow cake with frosting.

Huh? Wouldn’t you be really surprised if they had the ability to unlock the beta art during a time when the beta art hasn’t even been replaced yet?

Yes but you haven’t heard this guy’s mother saying it in her native accent. It really gets the blood flowing.

Yeah I was being sarcastic to highlight how stupid that guy’s comment was.

All these idiots freaking out over this fact about the United States don’t realize it’s also counting people bringing their guns to the schools on Saturday afternoons to shoot into soccer field.

Only me and you are the smart ones.

That’s particular simulator game actually has you saving the world from some sort of Alien UFO time traveler conspiracy plot though doesn’t it? It’s not quite as mundane as some other simulator games like farming or truck driving sims.

do we know that shoppers haven’t already returned to normal now that it’s out of the current news cycle?

Yeah man, otherwise we wouldn’t be participating in this conversation right?

Target was affected by boycotts in a way that other retailers are definitely aware of.

You skipped the part where they absolutely do not value human life or care about the suffering of others. That explains the most why this is the easiest option for them to continue wielding their power without having to compromise on any ethical or moral value in their life.

You can’t accurately (nor truthfully) look at from their point of view without adopting that specific part of their view.

Dance off for hambe

That’s where I learned about the candy canes and clowns that come with the high fructose syrup.

She was cremated and had a funeral in 2021 one month after she died. She was denied the funeral honors ceremony at her funeral at the time but this news is a reversal of that decision.

They are inviting the family out to the Pentagon I think, where they will probably give her the flag and certificate that would have been part of the ceremony. I dunno if they are gonna have service members play taps, the song that is usually part of the ceremony at a funeral. But yeah, she already had a funeral four and a half years ago when she died.

Forgive me if it’s obvious, but what does “waves their share” mean?

As someone who hasn’t watched the show since it aired but who has seen it referenced continually on the internet, I definitely expected pocket sand.

You can’t act like a precise robot that is always right and also beep your red sirens when other people are seeing humor that you don’t see. If you’re being a robot then chances are you are wrong about the jokes.

In this case the juxtaposition of the natural in-person way of speaking and the unnatural asynchronous text chat if twitter is the source of the humor. When you say that the two scenarios are not similar, that is part of the engine that drives the joke and makes it funny. It’s as if you see shutting everyone down for misunderstanding that it was not a sports bar but in fact a metal pipe that the two men walked into when the one man ducked.

The superheated instant boiling thing can be mitigated with basically anything in the water.

A teabag, for example.

Those food based subversion names are all alphabetical. I guess back then they didn’t have enough avocados in the code to call it “California style” so they went with “Cupcake.”

n9d was not very memorable for me so I think I probably agree with your taste overall. if you’re really only going to read one more then I would make sure not to skip The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. I think Ghostwritten is one of his earliest books and I think it really shows.

It’s really really interesting to imagine a different order to read these stories when you think about which little overlaps you would or would not be able to appreciate.

One of my favorite things about his books is that all his gimmicks with the overlapping characters and the horologist stuff doesn’t really matter all that much if the story is just otherwise also extremely well-written. so the “gimmicks” really do feel like a bonus and not like the main point.

I have loved all of David Mitchell’s books but Cloud Atlas was the perfect one that I started with that made me want to see everything else he read. I just love the structure of it so so much.

This is what me and my partner say to each other when we drink good coffee.
