Cash discount is the way to go. Price is the price but offering discounts is fine.

No.... Google maps even has a quick search for bars built in.

A lot of it yeah. Totally. :(

I come in here specifically to catch up on US election coverage. It's better than other news feeds I have. I totally understand why it's annoying but I also appreciate it for myself. People seem to be more real in the comments compared to other communities. The articles at the top aren't what I find elsewhere. Sorry you have to work so hard to curate your experience though.

You take some time. Heal up. Meet a new woman. Fall for her. Notice you feel different about this woman now. Then you can try being friends again if you both still want to.

I agree but I'm not sure BTC fit the definition of proprietary money I'm finding online. How does BTC qualify in your opinion?

Totally.

Diversity is more than just skin color and genitals. Notice their accents and body shapes and more.

Compelling. You've inspired me to watch again when the rains return.

Are you saying his character develops and gets less annoying or just that his character develops and he continues to be annoying but it's worth it?

I played d&d in high school and thought I'd give this a try. I couldn't tolerate the Bard. Does he get less annoying at some point?

Are you saying the assassination attempt is a false flag?

As food supply dwindles you're forced to cook with more and more spoiled ingredients. Leading to sickness and hallucinations on top of the strange supernatural influence. Sleep won't come any more. Whatever is on the ship makes it impossible to rest. Vision is blurry and hearing is off. Which voices are real, which are the ghosts, which are purely your own? The wind has stopped and the ship hasn't moved is a week as the waves rock. People who you thought had jumped overboard are back making requests for dishes from their childhood. Spices you don't remember stocking and couldn't possibly be on board turn up in unexpected places. This looks like saffron. Does saffron taste like that all the time or is this something else entirely?

Esc, t, or I move the mouse. Depends on my goal when I'm waking it up.

I want to vote for her even more now.

Back when I used to donate money when new releases dropped.

OMG. I can't believe the marketing department was that inept. Tragic

I don't think this is about purity tests so much as popularity. People don't want to vote for him. It doesn't matter if he's pure or not.

If you have me... you win. My technology however will never betray me.

My yubikey can be stolen but good luck guessing my PIN in the 3 to 9 tries allowed before it self destructs.

We quoted Oscar Wilde around our house quite a bit. Glad someone else out there was too!

Thank you for writing that so I don't have to.

The end of the petrodollar is complicated. On the one hand it reenforced American hegemony and propped up US financial institutions and instruments. On the otherhand it was quite unfair and sometimes unpopular even among US allies.

The end of it means US finance will have to work harder to stay competitive and the US has to trade currency on (slightly) more equal footing but it might lower international resentment.

Pedophilia is not a crime. If you are correct this post is wrong. Still people act like pedophilia is a crime.

The answer is people like to hate those they don't understand. People hate based on skin color, body fat, sexual orientation, and all sorts of differences. Now it seems like hating those cursed with psychological disorders around sexual attraction and children is in vogue. In twenty years it will be a new group.

Being sexually attracted to children is rape? Not in my world. You're like one of those people saying an earring makes a man gay. Where I come from fucking a dude makes a man gay not an earring. And raping a child makes someone a child rapist not being attracted to a child.

Biden regarding Palatine is bad. Trump is worse.

What other policy are you referring to?

I would love to vote for Mitt Romney instead of Biden. Can we make that happen? I'll vote for basically anything over Trump but I don't like the Biden Harris ticket at all.

Not pro knowl just knuckle dragging mechanic advice: run the car for a bit. Rev it up. Turn it off. Pull the dip stick. If there is no foaming you're fine.

What would happen if Biden straight up announced: "I'm not able to serve another 4 years. I'm passing my whole campaign to <insert Biden's pick here>. I trust <new candidate> as does my whole administration." Is that not allowed?

Someone is using Hetzner. :) Yes let IPv4 fade away. Still what services are you running that require so many unique IPs?

Austrian economists argue that a stable money supply promotes economic stability and allows for rational price signals. It proposes that for money to be stable it needs to be tied to one or more tangible commodities. So all current crypto should be avoided according to Austrian economics. Which makes me wonder, as an Austrian Econ fan, why are you here?

Apocalypse World 2nd Ed. has given me the most delight in the fewest sessions of any TTRPG. It takes a group willing to follow the rules though. If you try to play it the way you play D&D it won't work so keep that in mind.

I have childhood friends. I have romantic partners. I have adult friendships are based around convenience. My social life is the web of friendships surrounding my childhood friends and my romantic partners plus the current convenience friends.

Writing that out I realize I might not have deep friendships with people I've met as an adult because I don't extend my social circle to include more of their friends. I'm just a dangling friendship in their lives not part of their larger network of friends.

I wonder what that's about.

I'm very extroverted. I have no trouble making new friends that are interested in a hobby or like to meet up at a certain place. In the 24 years since I graduated high school haven't met a new friend who just wants to meet up, hang out, and do whatever because life is more fun with friends. Back in my school days I was pretty bad at making new friends but the friends I did make were legit. I still keep in touch with them and we don't need a plan to have fun.

If anyone has any insights or tips on how to make solid friends as an adult I'd love to hear it.
