Yeah, my first boyfriend had been jumped up two grades, so I was 16 and he was 14. It never went beyond awkward kissing in the alley after class tho.

Why would I advertise that I made the breading animal free, when the patty is made of meat?

To cash in on the plant-based trend and make $$$ for the same product you used to sell for $$. Beyond isn’t, because veggie is their brand, but I have to read ingredient labels because I can’t do legumes, so I’ve seen the weirdest shit before with off-brand stuff.

even if this were to be confusing, slap a “vegan” label on the front, and now you’re good.

Agreed. Also note that they’re calling it “patties”, so the quibble about whether or not they’re “burgers” is irrelevant. It’s just an example of how things can currently be confusing if you don’t know your brands.

Here’s an example of packaging being confusing.

It is not clear without reading the ingredient label if the it’s plant-based-chicken or plant-based-breading on the chicken-meat patty.

Weirdly enough, it’s super common for intersex animals to be split right down the middle like that. There’s other types of chimerism like what you described tho, if you want to go down that particular rabbit hole of nerdery.

So, I’ve always lowkey wondered if that meteor hammer guy’s techniques would translate to slinging at all

Technically, so does the word ‘robot’, but it’s not from english, so that linguistic connection to slavery doesn’t get noticed.

It’s also that imperial uses body measurements for basic stuff. Your foot is about a foot long, so you can pace off distances. One yard is about the length from your collarbone to the opposite wrist, so I can roughly measure fabric quickly. From your fingertip to the crook of your thumb is about five inches, and the knuckles on your fingers are about an inch apart.

I used to do industrial embroidery at an immigrant-owned shop, and the boss switched from metric to imperial because measuring a couple inches with your fingers is faster than finding a meter stick and measuring centimeters exactly. When you’ve got multiple inches in your margin for error, there is no need for the precision of metric, and the speed of imperial just makes more sense.

I don’t know why my brain said this was memeable, but here we are

As a counterpoint, I used to memorize everything and not write anything down. Then I got a serious head injury (got hit by a SUV going 55mph) and wound up with short-term memory problems. Now I have to learn how to take better notes, which is so hard to do with memory problems.

Depends on where you wind up. You usually get punished, but some places are worse than others about it.

The most common punishment for refusing to work is suspending “privileges” like the ability to buy from commissary or recreation like yard time or visiting the library. Remember that it’s common for hygiene items to only be available for purchase from commissary, so by denying you commissary access, they’re effectively saying you can’t buy extra tampons if you refuse to work.

At worst, it can be a reason to put you in isolation, move you to a higher security prison, or deny you parole.

The definition is a bit flakey but they’re essentially foods that contain emulsifiers, stabilisers, modified starches and so on.

But that stuff can be found in domestic kitchens? Egg yolk is an emulsifier, gelatin is a stabilizer, malt is a modified starch, and I can get all of them at normal grocery stores?

Are eggs UPF now?

Asexual is a spectrum. On one end, you’ve got the people that don’t want to cuddle or hold hands, and on the other end, you’ve got the people that will have sex, but find it about as exciting as brushing your teeth.

Not saying OP is or is not ace, but that the asexual community might have people who align with their sexual preferences.

And I would walk 500 more.

I usually call them “those, uh, usb thingies” while pantomiming plugging one into the wall

Yeah, I’m stupid.

I’m so stupid I don’t understand how to more clearly state that no money should be required in exchange for permission to live here. It should not be a rental property. No profits should be made.

Can you understand my point now?

I see, you want things to be even worse for the poor so they can have a revolution faster.

If we allow spaces like OP’s article to be the new bare minimum for rentable space, then that’s what corps will rent at apartment prices. It won’t bring the cost of housing down, it’ll just be another way to funnel money from the poor into the pockets of the rich, and people will die in the process. If you support that, you’re licking boots.

The empathy here is not forgetting that people died for those laws. I understand that people would rather risk death than be homeless, but going back to tenement halls is not the answer.

I agree the record and bail are bullshit, but you cannot seriously be proposing that we relax fire code for rentals.

It’s not ‘livable’ in terms of building code. We could allow spaces like this to be used as bedrooms, but that would require doing away with the laws that say you need fire egress in bedrooms.

There’s also the wider political angle to consider. The 90s was very safe for media companies to push revolutionary talk, there was no chance it’d actually turn into revolution. Now, shit’s starting to go down, and media companies don’t want the government to think they’re encouraging revolution.
