Dinosaurs would have been extinct for millions of years, even in the time of Noah. It makes sense that he wouldn’t put them on the Ark.

Hey! USA Avocado industry would be thriving if Mexico wasn’t shipping all theirs in without a tariff.

But a sable genius once said. “What we have is a thing called the gasoline. We have gasoline. We have so much gasoline, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have gasoline. So why are we making a product that they dominate? They’re going to dominate.”

This was in reply to the question “How are you going to bring down the cost of food and groceries?”.

I think you can apply the same logic here. “What we have is a thing called the corn. We have corn. We have so much corn, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have corn. So why are we making a product [avocados] that they dominate? They’re [Mexico] going to dominate.”

Depends on context.

This is the same idea as answering the phone with “Talk to me” which is generally from a pompous arrogant character.

Like “I’m here, what do you have to say?”

Why didn’t they make it like a vertical mouse? Having your arm bones twisted the entire time is not good and one of the leading causes of carpel tunnel.

Noise reduction in buildings have come a long way. Anyone living in an old apartment is going to find it more noisy.

but it’s hard to then build the services that this many people need

The idea is that there are the same amount of people on the island.

Island 1 might need 2 small schools to serve the top and bottom of island.

Island 2 could put one large school in walking distance of living building.

One large school is much cheaper than multiple smaller ones.

Same with things like fire stations. You only need one around the living building on island 2. One station on island 1 might not be in range of all the homes.

You are not thinking about the large picture.

Renting a tiller and throwing down some clover seeds is cheap compared to a lifetime of lawn people.

Just like with your first comment. Yes things break and are expensive, but you’re not throwing ~1500 a month out the window renting.

You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma

Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.

It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don’t donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.

When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.

If you didn’t compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn’t do it. They currently need more people to donate.

Plasma “donation” is a good thing.

I knew a Richard Odar. Pronounced odor

Fear of losing basic income is a great crime deterrent.

Are you going to steal from that gas station if you could lose your basic monthly check for 20+ years?

You think kids would drive drunk if you told them that if they were caught, they would lose their basic income for life? Most think it’s a slap on the wrist, maybe some community service, IF they get caught.

Ticketmaster fees and charges are one thing.

But if someone is willing to pay 400+ dollars for a seat at a concert, Shouldn’t they be able to do that over someone that just wants a cheap seat?

I had to look up what the summoner’s tale was. I can say this from memory.

"Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,

The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,

And bathed every veyne in swich licóur

Of which vertú engendred is the flour;

Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth

Inspired hath in every holt and heeth

The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne

Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,

And smale foweles maken melodye,

That slepen al the nyght with open ye,

So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages,

Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,

And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,

To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;

And specially, from every shires ende

Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,

The hooly blisful martir for to seke,

That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke."

You can say good morning with an infection that makes it asking. Like if I looked over at you on the bus and go “good morning?”. You’d know to reply that you were indeed having a good one. Same as if I said “rough morning?”

I would reply “Just saying”

It’s totally conditioned to say it. I come from where the response to “How you doing?” Is “Good, you?”, “Good”

If someone just said “Morning” to you, you’ve been conditioned to think something is wrong or they are having a bad day more than likely.

First impressions matter, and the first word out of your mouth better be good

You didn’t have to memorize the Canterbury Tales?

Half a decade ago, Kendrick Lemar kicked a white woman off stage for saying it.

She apparently had the rap down and didn’t think about it.

I wouldn’t say it in public, in a quote or song. The amount of people that would get angry at you is more than the people that would stand up for you.

Not really, he has a stereotype of what a Black person acts like, that includes saying the n word. He can’t comprehend there are some people who are both Black and find the word distasteful. So to him if a Black person won’t say it, then they’re not Black.

It’s not about if they want to say it or not it is about society accepting if they can say it or not. When a non-black person sings a rap song, they are supposed to omit the n-word. If you are black, you’re free to say it when desired.

This is basically saying. What if Karmala is raping and gets to an n-word. Is she free to say it?

She is not “African-American” which the word refers to

African-Americans accepting her into the “black” group based on skin color is essentially reverse racism. “She looks like us so she can be one of us”

This is coming from a white Mexifinn-American. I don’t get accepted as being Mexican because I don’t have the skin color, and I don’t get accepted as Finnish because I have a Hispanic last name. I don’t care because I enjoy being treated as an American. I get treated like I’m “white” though.

Sad reality is Harris would get treated as “black”

I don’t have a n-word card to give so I can’t make the call

I knew a guy named Richard Odar, pronounced odor. He didn’t go by Dick.
