Can someone explain why it isn't disingenuous to look at Euros? Firstly, euros cost now as much as they did three years ago. So that is clearly a price that can be reached with any number of causes. Then, UK pounds cost…
>If you were taking any other drug (over the counter or RX) would anyone tolerate "today it's 100 mg, tomorrow it's 400 mg"? afaik melatonin. Not super happy about it but it is what it is, giving it up has a high cost…
Not the whole market at the high end either, I have very little trouble getting any pair of Balmain, Versace, and Rick Owens sneaker I want - I have several dozen pairs of all three brands Strategy at the high end is to…
"we want to be able to hang somewhere" ...just saying because I'm sorry I can't contain myself: This is exactly the use case Airbnb doesn't solve. I fly half-way across the world to meet my parents on vacation and…
Was the $.99 price point really invented at a point in history before sales taxes came to be established? Round prices have never been convenient because it always come out to $1.07 1.08 1.09 something like that with a…
I don't think we can draw any conclusion from that campaign because multiple variables were changed simultaneously The biggest ones in my mind, the ones my family had always played: they got rid of the game playing…
When you eat at a sit down restaurant, part of the service is not forcing you to walk to the register up front to pay. Hence you leave your card with the waiter and they disappear with it for up to 15 minutes to process…
Doesn't strike me as wise. Your phone is always on you, if you have a biometrics killswitch you're better off than repeatedly entering your password, day in and day out, in public locations where a highly motivated…
I type in Chinese regularly It is annoying that Windows keeps Qwerty for it while Mac uses Dvorak. If it was just consistent (I constantly switch machines) it would be easy to handle and entirely subconscious by now...…
In other words, people destined to die early, of their own accord, don't like to briskly walk, not even for a mere 22 minutes. But how do we know this destined-to-die cohort will change that destiny by merely pretending…
This isn't real Every business, every business has people who go in with the "no matter the cost" situation. But the market sets the schedule of pricing, so if either their status is not "revealed" or the business is…
Lol "famous"? Sorry I don't think a pickle can be famous but ya know different strokes.
#1 Better to take one shot at $500 before paying a pick-up artist $5000-10,000 from training/conferences #2 Imagine you make $100k USD and haven't scored a date in a decade. Wouldn't taking a gamble of $500 seem…
There's a special place in the inferno for Booking staff who send me distracting notifications about the fact that the hotel I'm currently living out of having availability. These are especially insidious as I dare not…
電腦 in Chinese (rather than Japanese) characters to be pendantic :)
I see the importance of any argument I'm making on being the best bet for 95% of humans. No policy governing humans is ever going to make imperfect humans perfect, but policies can and do go to far to where they're a…
Firstly, what I said can be true in one scope of reference and what you say in another. It's not mutually exclusive. I feel your perspective is more about lots of the world after the rise of nation states and dense…
My grandparents did that, it was one of the principle annoyances I had with visting them as a kid It was very shocking to go from 75dB to an ambient 30dB or something like that out in the countryside. I'd have much…
I really disagree with all the comments that make reference to reality - no that is not at all what "reality" is. The fact of the matter is that as an adult, I can draw a line in the sand and either leave a job or…
Something I heard a few years back put my life experience as a kid in perspective. At least for me, in the most important way possible, it doesn't sound like regular school at all. The main deep life impacting…
Just put a time adverbial like last year today tomorrow later "in a bit". :)
You're writing this tongue in cheek or really not knowing? That's exactly what Indonesian is , a simplified standardized language to allow hundreds of different ethnicities with their own languages to easily…
So basically the West giving up any and all claims it has or ever had had (given morally questionable behaviors in the history books) to moral legitimacy for the sake of climate programs? I already strongly question the…
Hmm is that just a ridiculously unqualified statement, or do you really mean any old time any old place?
