Ask yourself what is a Q Tip?

It’s likely most of us Americans don’t know about this fun fact.

Perhaps, but America is known to export their “culture”, including consumerism. Maybe it’s tainting the world at large…

In America, juice and jelly have the same sugar and fake ingredient contents.

Thinking cheaper automatically means you’re getting more value out of something, (example: I got this whole cake that can feed 10 people for $15 bucks!) ignoring the quality of that thing.

Thinking something expensive automatically means you’re getting something of better quality (example: This bottle of wine is over $100. It’s definitely better than one that uses much better methods of wine production that only costs $20).

Basically, my beef is with Americans having little sense of discernment and/or lack of good taste.

So was Wendell Berry.

Robots.txt is a standard, developed in 1994, that relies on voluntary compliance.

Voluntary compliance is conforming to a rule, without facing negative consequences if not complying.

Malicious web robots are unlikely to honor robots.txt; some may even use the robots.txt as a guide to find disallowed links and go straight to them.

This is all from Wikipedia’s entry on Robots.txt.
I don’t get how we only have voluntary protocols for things like this at this point in 2025 AD…

It’s funny you pick this line because I was just thinking about it recently. Many of Christ’s words are not meant to be easy to understand, in fact they often perplexed his own disciples.

My own take on this passage is that following Christ’s message, truly following it (such as love your enemies for example) will not be something everyone can do. When some in a family can truly love someone society tells them to hate (i.e. commonly discriminated group of people) and the rest can’t, this will sow division.

Sometimes we have to stand up to our own families in order to truly love others. It’s much easier to just keep things “peaceful” in the family, at a cost of your slowly deteriorating soul/spirit.

That’s my take.

So then what you said earlier about it “not being a big issue” seems to only apply to places where there is “bicycle-friendly infrastructure” at the least. Quite assumptive to say your original statement, don’t you think? Most of America, for example, is not bicycle-friendly.

Most people where?

It is botanically a fruit.

But only because so many people foolishly fall for/ value validation

I just remembered Jet Slalom because of this.

I’ve always thought this about Opal stone. It looks like a made up stone from an alien planet.

As he’s dressed like Gary from Pokemon, I heard this all in his egotistical voice.

Someone commented a reply which I thought worthy of highlighting:

“I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.”

Oh they brought a lot of love alright

“because old people run them”

Agreed with you.

But not sure how they’d picture paint chipping off the wall in a way to connect the joke as quickly. Maybe they should have had the 3rd pane say “we used to drink straight out of the tap” and the last pane should’ve been them testing a sink.
