Reminds me of when my kid was learning to read. She started reading everything, and one day, while she was rattling off nutrition facts from something she was snacking on, she says "the sodium must be bad. It just says oh my God." (0mg)

Edit: I realize how fake to anyone who doesn't know us this sounds. She was probably 2nd grade, was/is a very strong reader, but most importantly, has had a very "online" personality since a young age. Acronyms get used a lot among us jokingly. This one's been one of our inside jokes in the family since she said it

blahblahsdfsdfsdfsdf:

Yup. It's very homogeneous now. I went through an old backup of bookmarks from like 15 years ago and like 80% of them were dead links.

I grew up in war in Africa. The most important thing you can do is establish a formal and structured network of people interconnected not only to informally help one another, but be well organised to work together under an agreed leadership team.
The 2nd most important thing you can do is establish radio communication (not mobile) system with key central point.
After that, be sure to give what you can. Time, energy, tins, nappies ... does not matter. The more each person gives the stronger the network becomes and the wider it grows.
Nothing is more important to survival and even comfort than other people.

When I was a kid my parents would give me gifts from Santa as well as themselves, so it doesn't have to be one or the other. She would also write on other gifts from Frosty the Snowman, from Rudolph, and a bunch of other imaginary christmas characters. My mother even did this long after we stopped believing just for fun.

TheVampireItself:

Probably the cost of keeping and caring for a horse

kittyhawk94:

1) Speed and distance. A horse carrying the weight of the carriage, passengers and any luggage is not travelling very far, very quickly.
2) The outright cost of a horse, carriage and stable is going to be as much as some cars. Upkeep, particularly vet bills, for the horse is going to dwarf the cost of gas.
EDIT: 3) Maintenance. Caring for a horse properly involves hours of dedication every day. You can’t just park it in your driveway and forget about it until your next journey.

Meewol:

It’s easier to accept that we can be created but much harder to accept that one day we won’t exist.

massivecumvortex:

it's sensory overload and it's a sign that you're stressed out and/or lacking sleep

MiddleCoconut7:

Yes. Its because the happiness we got from reading or watching whatever is now over. Its basically grieving.

laterpotaters:

Yes, all the time!
I tend to enjoy songs that are somewhat sad, I like singing them cause I feel like my voice lends itself to sad and melancholy vocals.
But when I’m in the car with others I have to set a different playlist than my usual cause I don’t want people to think I’m on the verge of taking my life lol.

anon:

America is a very individualistic society, and it's largely built on the idea that an individual's success is solely based on their effort.

braxistExtremist:

I think at this point it's become kind of cliche. I know a lot of kids like some vegetables when they've been lightly steamed with a bit of seasoning, or when they are sauted, roasted, or fried.

Psy_Kik:

Depends on which white culture you hail from. The US is super sensitive aabout black racism. here in the UK we are extremely sensitive about indian or pakistani racism. It depends on your culture history and what its ...embarassments are.

novato1995:

It's not a Christian thing, as there's zero Biblical reference to a C-section, but rather, a cultural a/o traditional belief based on their own opinions.

anon:

I use the dictionary every single day.
You can have a fuzzy notion of what a word means, but it never hurts to check if you want to be precise.

ThaneOfCawdorrr:

I, too, look quite passable in the mirror. But when someone takes a photo, I am suddenly a red-faced, broad 15th century Lithuanian peasant, jolly after a day in the fields.

rubenbest:

I wonder if company A is Capital One and Company B is Discover.
Either way do your job, and keep resume sharp.

glitter_poots:

This is why I can’t do audiobooks. I’ll listen for about a half hour before I realize I haven’t HEARD a word. At least with books I can flip back and look through pages.

mugenhunt:

Internal monologues are common. Basically, in the past few years, going "wait, do other people actually think differently than I do?!" Has become more common, with people who can and can't make visual pictures in their mind being another point of discussion.

ZombieJesusaves:

This is a complicated question. Let me first start by sayin that most of the ultra wealthy have wealth through assets, either physical property or stock ownership NOT through income. When we say Musk is worth 200B, most of that is assets. His liquid wealth, while still substantial, is likely much much smaller, maybe a few hundred million.

You also must understand that money is not the same to the wealthy as it is to us. Money for them is a tool used to create more wealth. Anything which diminishes that tool must be minimized in order to maximize the usefulness of the tool. Basically we have a few motivating factors here, one is the desire to sustain a lavish lifestyle utilizing a much smaller amount of liquid assets, so paying 25% of 300 million will actually lower their ability to own all those fancy houses and yachts and rub elbows with politicians and officials.

Second, is the desire to utilize wealth to productively to make more wealth. While a few million less may not be substantial, those few million may be worth 10x or 100x if properly invested, so the pain of that tax is many times multiples. Third the desire to avoid taxes on assets which is a whole separate discussion around property rights, but when 98% percent of your worth is in assets, you sure don’t want that to happen.

It’s called “Superhero Fatigue” or “Comic Fatigue” and it actually is a growing thing. While box offices / viewerships are typically still healthy for such products, there is a noticeable increase in critical opinions of those same products, indicating that while such films or shows are being watched, they are being enjoyed less.
