At least with a brick and mortar store you actually know what you’re getting*
*to a degree. You still won’t know how well it will actually hold up in the real world - but you can at least get an idea of it’s construction (Materials/stitching and so on) that you don’t/can’t get via an online shop (especially with all the bogus reviews nowadays)
"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

I mean thats kind of a good thing? And it’s right in the name? Universal Basic
UBI should be enough to comfortably survive - at least enough to cover food and shelter (with associated costs ie electricity/water/heat)
Working a job while on UBI would pay for enrichment type stuff - vacations night at the movies etc.
As it is now working doesn’t guarantee any of the 1st category that UBI should/would cover never mind the 2nd.
If they’re suffering let it end - if they can still maintain a good quality of life let them live… I’m also for human euthanasia.
No matter the amount of love - if the pain is unmanageable or their quality of life is shit let them go.
In single-player games I occasionally “lightly” cheat.
Using “infinite” mods or unlock “everything” mods just ruins all the fun for me.
But unlock a specific thing or get a small amount of rss type cheats that reduce grind I like.
Both.
I tend to wash the larger stuff by hand so it’s not wasting so much space in the dishwasher.
I mean the government stops you - at least in the USA. If they find you, no matter how ‘responsible’ you are being they will charge you/kick you off the land unless you “own” the land.
Same, although I think the 1st book would have been better if it didn’t focus so much on the humans for at least the first half of the book.
Like I think it would have had more impact if we were guessing what was happening off planet instead of ‘seeing’ it.
The one product slogan that was true.
Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza anytime
It depends on a few factors.
The biggest one being why it’s flaccid and/or has runny cheese - Some pizzas are just greasy and lead to flaccid crust/runny cheese. And a greasy pizza isn’t necessarily bad.
Just like a burnt hot dog isn’t necessarily bad either. Seriously - a somewhat burnt hot dog can be delicious depending on the circumstances - just like an ice cold beer hits different outside on a hot day.
Ooo it’s finally on steam early access!
Yes it’s better in a group. Or at the very least just playing on a multiplayer server is better imo than single player. (At least until npcs are in)
One more step towards the great firewall.
Man i really miss Cracked. It used to be so good.
That quote is being proven true right now though?
People don’t really remember what happened with the nazis. Most of the people who actually lived that past are dead now.
And the vast mojority of people lack enough empathy/understanding to be able to ‘walk a mile in their shoes’ as it were and extrapolate the horrors from the most readily available histories.
Get to know my neighbors? C’mon dude no way.
Water? We dont need no stinking water.
I’ve been using Lightning Launcher for over a decade now.
It’s no longer on play store, but a version is available at https://github.com/TrianguloY/LightningLauncher
Lots of customization options.
Looks like you’re using ups. Try a 3rd party tracker. (Sorry i can’t remember the name of one - its been years since I had something shipped from out of country.)
I’ve had success in the past tracking that way.
