I’m saying people who don’t play this credit game but otherwise are good financially also think it’s dumb. Not just bad risks.

You’re discounting the people who have always lived within their means and so never took on debt. They also don’t have good credit. They’ve never missed a payment. They’re good for the money. But they don’t have a history showing that because they’ve never needed that.

They said service the debt, not pay off the whole thing. For an analogy, your whole mortgage being less than your annual salary isn’t a requirement; your monthly mortgage payment being a fraction of your monthly salary is.

I’d honestly rather the switching than ending up on standard time year round.

I think it depends on where you are in your timezone if you prefer DST or standard time. But most people seem to not like changing the clock. It just turns into a fight if we should stay on DST or standard time year round.

Of those 62% that indicated they would like to get rid of the practice of changing the clocks entirely, exactly half of them prefer the option of later sunrises and sunsets, as in year-round daylight-saving time, compared with 31% preferring year-round standard time.

If we abolish DST, I think we should tweak some of our timezones. With dst, where I’m at the sun is currently rising before 5. If we kept standard time, it would be up before 4. Sun rise at 3 something and sunset at 7 something is really out of whack with how most people want sun allocated to their day.

Don’t worry. You likely wouldn’t remember even if you were taught. 5280 feet/mile is just not worth the brain space. Neither is 8 pints/gallon. I don’t think you would convert between the two often enough to make it useful information to just know.

And I do have to look up those prefixes for the less used ones. It’s exa then peta or peta then exa and what’s bigger than them? What’s smaller than nano? I don’t remember because it rarely comes up. But I’m in tech, so it’s starting to more.

Fractional reserve is a reference to banks needing to keep a fraction of their customers’ deposits but are allowed to invest/lend out the rest. Some people think this means keep a fraction of customers cash on hand because liquid assets are often referred to as cash in accounting even if it isn’t actually paper money.

Sounds plausible. The main thing peds worry about for toddlers primarily subsisting off milk is iron deficiency. Potatoes have iron and vitamin c.

The one on the right is what my grandma’s dining room still looks like. Exact chairs and all.

Or just not actually give the context of the original meme.

Not all intercourse is sexual intercourse.

Sure, but more pizza places than people doesn’t seem feasible. It would require something like everyone in NYC works multiple pizzerias by themselves.

From a blogpost i found there are aparently some 70-ish pizzerias per person in NYC, whereas there are 400+ per person in sweden

There are more pizzerias than people? Or is it 70 people to each pizzeria in NYC and 400 people to each in Sweden? Or like 70 pizzerias to 1000 people?

Why kill the dog? It didn’t listen to her, embarrassed her, and she couldn’t have that. Why admit to it? People already knew about it; she thought she could get in front of the story by spinning it as “hard decisions had to be made” rather than “sociopath murders dog.”

Canadians as a dogwhistle for what, dare I ask? Or was that part of what you refused to ask?

Some people also get mild to severe reactions to pizza. They’re sensitive to night shade. Or lactose intolerant. Or have celiac’s. Or are allergic to one of the toppings.

North America and South America are 2 continents in a lot of models. What definition are you using that has them as one? I’m always pretty skeptical of the ones that have Europe and Asia but then just America.

And it’s not like we don’t love other fungus. Any yeasty bread contains fungus (yeasty breads include most nonquick beads or flat breads and like cinnamon rolls or pizza crust).

I think the tons of hook ups in the twenties thing is because most people don’t really know what they want and if someone will lead to a toxic relationship. They have to figure that out by trying out a bunch of things that end up being totally wrong for them. You sound like you have a really solid idea of who would make a good partner for you. It takes most people much longer than their early-mid twenties to find that relationship.

If it’s really bothering you, maybe try out the relationships you think won’t work, just to confirm that you’re right about what you want.
