Wtf is “regulatory relief”?

Perhaps “historical curiosity” was a little obtuse of me.

Why is it so important that your homemade pizza dough be so perfectly consistent? Good grief lmao

I mean, you’re right, it’s marginally better, but like … Does it really matter that much? Can you even tell difference without a side by side comparison? I’m sure your pizza dough is just as delicious using a plain old inconsistent pinch instead of a scale.

Well it kinda all gets funneled into one place with poor ol’ Sarlacc.

Was that in the original trilogy? Or extended universe stuff? I don’t remember anything about it but I never read any of the EU books.

Every new generation is shit, but guess what, they aren’t ones in power. If you want change it’s the boomer in charge who you should be talking about. This is the world they built, it’s not the kids fault they’re inheriting a burning house.

So not at all based in science? Interesting as a historical curiosity but nothing more?

“more modern” = people are saying it on reddit

The revenant.

How did the system come about? You say this as if the system were intentionally designed. But it is not: the natural order which creates evolutionary pressure is itself the culmination of many coincidences.

I think he’s pointing out the fundamental misunderstanding a lot of people have about natural selection: nothing chooses to evolve; there is no active participation. Whether the plant could see hummingbirds or not is irrelevant because it can’t change it’s genetics and mutate on a whim anyways.

Natural selection is when genetic mutations happen by chance, and sometimes those mutations just happen to benefit the survival and reproduction of that individual, so the genetics mutation gets passed on. It’s just a fluke though. It’s a fluke that the mutation occurred and and even bigger fluke that it lead to reproductive benefit.

So the evolution of any kind of survival mechanism is, at its core, a coincidence.

With all due respect it was not so apt as usury is specifically charging interest, not fees.

How can they know it’s your data without first collecting your data to compare it?

“Give us your personal information so we can ask others to delete your personal information” just doesn’t sound like a trustworthy offer.

His point about the headline stands. They directly contradict themselves in the very first two sentences.

There is such a thing as parents rights, but those rights have limitations, just like every right we hold.

They make most of their money on luxury items and processed foods, not essentials.

99% of the products in a grocery store are not essential.

Essential foods are things like flour and oil and potatoes.

Boiled linseed oil is not food safe because it isn’t actually boiled. The chemicals you’re talking about are added to achieve the same change that boiling normally achieves, but it is a cheaper process so corporations lobbied for the right to called chemically treated linseed oil “boiled”, even though it’s objectively false.

It’s a great example of a corporate conspiracy.

What, you think big investment firms can’t wrangle all the loopholes?

She was looking for the planet from whence came the chess playing supercomputer that beat Garry Kasparov.

Is this a copy pasta lol
