Have you discovered any hobbies that middle class people could reasonably pursue?

I'm a person that saw this and thought "YES!".
It's a way to make my mindless scrolling a little bit less mindless. It's not a Wikipedia alternative it's a tiktok alternative (I don't use tiktok, but I understand why people do, my attention span is also shattered). Obviously it's not going to replace looking things up on Wikipedia, and I love exploring links in Wikipedia articles, but you don't know what you don't know so this seems like a good way to learn about things you didn't know you were interested in.
The wheel of time turns and ages come and pass. There is no end to the turning of the wheel of time but this is an end.
They did actually sue someone for the exclusive right to call themselves "crappy tire":
IIRC someone was hosting a Canadian Tire complaint website "crappytire.com" and in trying to get it shut down Canadian Tire used the legal argument that this person was infringing Canadian Tire's identity ("We are the legitimate Crappy Tire, and this person is an imposter") and the domain should be surrendered to them. ~~They won.~~ edit: They lost.
This winter I frequently met American tourists on on the chair lift while skiing. I would always just say: "thank you for supporting our independence with your tourism dollars".
Putting something you need to see where you can't see it actually does have a short of efficiency logic to it.
Like save the fusible storage locations for things you'll be able to see
Yeah I think if you go back to Genesis you'll see that God pretty clearly wanted a naive vegan nudist roommate.
I went to China on a business trip about 10 years ago. I was gobsmacked by how good they are at flattery. I was totally unprepared for it, and they didn't even want anything from me.
Yeah I don't think there's any basis to the quote.
Interestingly the earliest composed Christian document that has been recovered (the didache, the copy we have is from Ca. 1000 CE, but seems to be in the original Greek) condemns infanticide, specifically including by exposure to the elements. It also prohibits private property so the document is not taken authoritatively by many modern christians.
I don't think anyone can actually do fusion power in the lab either. The only energy positive way to do fusion power is within a nuclear fission explosion isn't it?
Wait, so people can choose whether or not they're subjected to hate speech? What tyranny!
I think that is just how monotheists prefer to translate it, I believe "before" is more impartial.
