"My food is included in rent. Which is convenient for day-to-day eating but gives me less capacity for cooking my own meals. Like, I admit it, the system works really well for normal people, I’m just a weirdo who likes tinkering with recipes, hosting dinner parties, and whatnot"
There, I highlighted the absurdity even more for you. You're not a wierdo, you're a tech-chef.

Uhhh... is this fake news?
'... on track to produce more oil than any country in history...' is not the same as ' IS producing more oil than any country in history'??
No, but it's more subtle than 'free market.' There should be some mandatory national holidays.
This gives employees the opportunity to exchange shifts and have time off during their non-Christmas cultural holidays.
This is the way. For people who really want to have other days off for their cultural holiday, they can swap shifts with other employees who will be happy to work those days.
Justif-eye-able? yes.
This pre-supposes distinct 'souls'. There is only one soul, one 'awareness'. We are just fragments of that awareness.
THE awareness, the base Experencier of reality does experience the best life imaginable, and everything else.
Is the best life one without suffering, or one where suffering is experienced and then alleviated? That's a better question.
That was yesterday in my timezone. Yes, I spent Christmas Day with family a significant drive away.
Almost none; gas stations, some restaurants and dairies. Most were closed.
Thankfully we had rain all day, a nice change back to traditional rainy and humid Christmas Days.
This is actually fucking scary.
They also took issue with him being brought back to life as he’d signed a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ order years earlier, The Des Moines Register reported at the time.
This sets the precedent that the convict is no longer in possession of their own body and life.
"Death is no escape. You will suffer as long as we want you to."
Welcome to the birth of Hell.
Thats why I stay as anonymous as possible.
They're jealous of the Muslims and Hindus who already have all that going on.
Well I got past the patellar tendonitis and now we're back to our old friend IT band pain.
What exercises/strategies/changes in running technique have you found helpful for this?
Firstly, I would just like to refute 'If all knowledge is based on faith, then is science reliable?' because I've seen it been made before to argue [random-bullshit-thing] is worth considering. Science isn't based on knowledge, it's based on experimental results, models, and extrapolation. Actual faith is not based on that.
There's a really good argument to be made that our senses are not telling us the truth, they just tell us what is beneficial to survive and reproduce. However, this is not the case for instruments that measure, say, gravitational waves.
There is a real reality out there, and it's unlikely we can perceive it. Perhaps the universe happened all at once, but our brain processing happens in consecutive slices of reality, so we perceive time.
Personally, my (pessimistic) gut feeling is that we don't exist. How could anything? It's that Prime Mover argument. Because the Big Bang, because multiverse bubbles colliding...
I think the universe might not actually exist, nothing does. But the potential possibilities make it exist relative to the baseline of nothing. Just like when you climb Everest, your total altitude change is 0 because coming down cancels out going up. The universe is just a potential that is cancelled out by something else, so existence remains at 0 in total.
