In Japan, this is the norm. They'll throw each drug in its own zip lock bag but piecemeal like that is all you'll get. And people grow really old over here.

I don't find this mildly infuriating. I think this is a responsible way to deal with a precious resource.

I think it's a happy balance of them not wanting to federate and many of us not wanting them to federate with us. Let's not rock that apple cart.

Iron ≠ vitamin. You are really pissing out most of the vitamins in vitamin supplements. And when I say most it's closer to all of it.

... back button hijack is starting to rear its ugly head again.

Are you basing this statement on this alleged case alone? I don't get any of this behavior on this page on Vivaldi. Another person has done more of a deep dive and also came up short.

You can describe yourself any way you like. It's helpful to provide context, like you did here. Without it you may not be understood. So know who you're speaking to and provide it, especially when puzzled faces stare back at you.

The Anerican political theater has twice as many viable parties as North Korea. Contrast that with virtually any other democracy where there are at least a handful of parties fighting to be in charge. That doesn't mean though that you don't have enough different opinions to fill a party-political spectrum like that in the US. The dominance of the two parties just forces most people under one of the big tent roofs. So you have more conservative Democrats (and there used to be more liberal Republicans) in the party that are bigger in relative numbers compared to what you'll find in the social democrats in Germany (or among the conservatives in France). The Democrats are nominally the more left leaning party. But if you compared the party programs they would align more with the conservative parties of Scandinavia. Everything is further to the right in the US thanks largely to gun laws and lack of social security. And that explains why you have non-lefty people in the nominally lefty party. And while bigotry and hatred are certainly not a new thing, there is a culture that permeates down from the political leadership. And if name calling and pouring oil into the fire of social issues are the new MO, and admissions and convictions respectively of sexual assault don't keep candidates out of office, many people feel they are now also allowed to say the quiet part out loud.

For shits and giggles I watched Phantom Menace today. Because I figured I'll never have as good (?) a reason to watch that ... wonderful ... movie again. And I had time. As with all things I know I don't like, the rewatch was more enjoyable because I could brace for the trade dispute Jar Jar pod racing medichloriean bullshit and not get pissed off. But that's really besides the point. Anakin is six in that movie and too old to be trained as a Jedi. And Padme is closer to 18. I think in terms of the actors' real ages it's more than a decade's difference. And I totally forgot Ani is a Jesus baby too because Shmi doesn't remember the conception. JFC, what a family, the Skywalkers.

And mesa totally fine with Padme and Ani eventually becoming a couple. Mesa no okay with the children slaying for love though. Big doo-doo dat one.

... and can be replaced later down the line at the central bank.

I think there are countries in the world where that is not the case. India maybe 2 years ago removed one of their large denomination bills with like a week's notice to get it changed and after that you were SOL. I think (but am not sure) old Sterling notes may also no longer be more than paper.

Unless your schoolmate is here, I don't think you will get a definitive answer. And what people do on social media is not necessarily representative to what they would do in real life. So don't take this block personally.

A mixup of names has been suggested a a possible explanation. It could just as well simply be a mistaken touch on the app or a misplaced click on the site. That person may have their own ghosts of school life past to fend off and they've chosen to make a clean break and not keep in touch with people from that time for their own mental health. Or they are friends with the people who used to bully you and doesn't want them to spot you on their friends list. Or, while they treated you nicely and stood up for you, it's still possible they just don't like you regardless. There are many possible explanations.

But he was fucking Padme who was a decade or more his senior! How can this list be complete without addressing this crucial issue?

And I have to admit that I find the classification of killing children in the way that he specifically did as "not evil" a tad unconvincing.

It's not like the king of pop didn't have other bad sides to him we learned about already. So if the fucking teenage boys he groomed himself headlines didn't prevent the making of this movie, why should an Epstein link?

You're free not to watch the move btw. I'll be right by your side not watching it.

You have a choice in life. You can accept certain things you cannot change. This one, you won't change. Even if you spearheaded a popular movement I doubt you'll get it changed. Everybody hates DLST and we still can't get rid of it.

So I suggest you adapt your language. You don't talk about the night of the fifth but the night from the fifth to the sixth. Three additional syllables in this case and the confusion evaporates quickly. You're focusing on the perceived problem and not on the solution. If you do resolutions for the new year, maybe add that point to your list.
