Target doesn't increase people's options. It destroys local businesses and measurably reduces quality of life in multiple ways, just like wal mart and all these other crappy stores. A local businesses opening a location there would have been dramatically better for the community.

Oh, for sure, I'm just saying, it's a bigger compromise than we think, and gets bigger, proportionately, at $35k.

I think he's joking, even after the prices spiked, a carton of eggs gives you six good, high-protein meals for under $6.

The fact that op is saving $2500 a year is not ideal. Smart financey people say you should probably try to save about a third of your income.

You also have to argue that all 44 of those people would have paid full fare if they hadn't dodged it.

I initially read that as NSYNC, and thought, "hey, they're pretty good for karaoke purposes."

Eh. This article is about tens of thousands, and Santos raised millions. That's not the funding for "his entire campaign." It's too much money to take from an oligarch, but it went through a relative and then through PACs, which is... really how this thing usually happens, not a sign that he was a russian plant or a national security threat (although he kinda is, just because he's lied so damn much that nobody knows who he is anymore).

Really? I haven't seen any indication of that, can you please clarify?

Sweat is not considered a bodily fluid. See: https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/bodily+fluid. It doesn't really transmit disease. And since you'd be thrifting in person -- on the very off chance that somebody has sweat enough into a garment to smell without cleaning it, you'd be able to smell before you bought.

I don't know what you're doing with your clothes, but I doubt anybody is selling anything that has been stained with anything else on that list.

But... You know what, you've convinced me, you definitely shouldn't come.

Uh... Not sure how you think bodily fluids work, but most people don't get them on their clothes often... And most people also clean their clothes when they get dirty, so...

But fine, you're welcome to keep buying new crap and throwing it in landfills, no need to be offended at the thought of thrifting. Some of us like it, I hope that's okay with you.

Alfargo's Marketplace this Sunday! A top tier menswear thrift popup, I'll be there, highly recommend.

This strikes me as more of a parable than a thought experiment. It's a story, and there are some sorts of lessons in the story, but the language is flowery, designed to make you feel something, and the main downfall is Hannibal having fallen too deep into character, which is hardly a philosophical issue, more of an issue internal to the plot.

It's vaguely reminiscent of the Chinese Room, but the Chinese room is not 95% story and 5% question, it's a simple hypothetical designed to evoke a focused question.

Any story can be framed as a thought experiment, but a true thought experiment is focused on debating a specific question, rather than focusing on motivations of characters and the bonds of friendship and stuff like that.

nah is pretty optimistic... except for the fact that Darius is going to end up in jail...

Yeah. I think you're right. It isn't that big a mystery.

what's your take, was she thick or nah

... wait what?

... is this a comedy?

But there's also non-max HBO

And there are prime subscribers who don't watch TV at all.
