So, would you prefer we return to Saturnalia?

Prescription glasses expire as our eyes are constantly changing. You should get your eyes checked every two years minimum.

I have bad news for you. Spelling like it’s pronounced is heavily subjective and opinion based. Virtually every single language in living use has deviating pronunciation to some degree.

I used Mint for almost its entire existence so far, but recently I’ve started main driving immutables, and gotta say the experience is even more user friendly. That’s my current experimentation stage but, so far, it doesn’t feel experimental at all, it just works out the box, no issues.

Though eggs predate the chicken by several hundreds of million of years.

Eat the rich is not figurative.

Zodiac signs are about as accurate as tarot readings or reading tea leaves. They’re even wrong about what they are based on. The star locations and sun precession hasn’t coincided with the original 12 zodiac constellations for centuries. People use the dates and signs as they were set by astrology tradition ages ago, but the dates when the sun changes from one constellation to the next is also absolutely arbitrary to make it match exactly 4 and a half weeks.

The personality descriptions for zodiac signs are textbook examples of cold reading. A technique of making intentionally ambiguous but agreeable affirmations so that people project their self-view onto the descriptions disregarding evidence or specifities.

It is a superstition as it is the belief on the supernatural influence of the relative apparent position of stars in the sky over the behavior and personality of individuals. It’s a, mostly, harmless superstition, but superstitious none the less.

You seem to assume that any logic or reason was used in the decision making that led to this action. But I assure you, as soon as racism, classism, or any other form of bigotry enters the process, any reason left jumps out of the window.

They are both the same entities.

Remember when on Interstellar there’s this whole prologue about the collapse of the US, the dismantling of NASA and the family getting on an argument with the school because the official stance now is that the moon landing never happened and mankind never went to space (despite there being still people alive who went there)?

So, anyway, life imitates art …

That’s the correct thing to do. If you neglect to do that and try to rush the person on to a car or something without proper pre-hospital care training, the person will just bleed out in the car. Whatever a pressure dressing won’t help, won’t be stopped without an operating room by a surgeon.

A person with a bleed will survive for much longer staying put with proper pressure over the wound than a person being moved about. Oftentimes, people in panic also forget to call for help. Most first aid preparation is about drilling people to stop panicking and actually call for those who can and know how to help. Crisis, War or not, you are, most likely, not a surgeon or a paramedic, and you don’t have a surgery room in your house. There’s nothing that a pamphlet can correct in that case.

That’s an awful take. Most of the whales and people caught in the casinos who suffer the highest financial loses are neurodivergent or people with mental illnesses, kids with their parents credit card, the elderly and overall the most vulnerable to manipulation. Those are the people that the gambling mechanics specifically aim for.

Executive bonuses, of course. Won’t you think of the poor millionaires?

She made the common blunder of making long term hyperbolic predictions based on short term trends and immediate events.

Still bold things to say from someone who declared himself emperor of the world a la Roman style and opposed most of revolutionary ideas of freedom and democracy…twice.

I think it was part of the story that some group had already broken into the tomb but got wiped out by the traps. You’re looting their equipment. You even fight them in between puzzles.

This is when “could you please send that request on writing via e-mail” becomes really useful.

It’s actually a bit better since you don’t pay income tax every time and there’s guaranteed income.

What Apple does with iOS and macOS developers is straight up extortion.

The kicker is that each inch of that highway is a money sinkhole. In maintenance and lost tax from land ownership tax that will not be paid.
