It's a small enough number you think they could have just said exactly how many there were.

Fewer than 10 ... So, 9? 8, perhaps? Surely not 7!

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.

the guy who'd been running the project had been offered an exciting new opportunity at some other company and we all wished him the best.

Must be nice to be so privileged he can be a complete fuckup and not even get fired for it. Everybody agrees to use euphemisms to not hurt his feefees because he's just too rich and special to have to be embarrassed.

It speaks to everyone. "I'm messed up because I'm smarter than other people" is a seductive fantasy.

It will be stronger than a normal coffee, but it still won't have any caffeine.

There is a distinction between flavor and caffeine content. Decaffeinating does change the flavor but that doesn't mean you can't make it strong.

No, it's just a G that is making a J sound.

There is a G sound and there is a J sound.

There is no need to invent a distinction between "hard" and "soft" G. A "soft G" is just a J.

One would think "struggling businesses" would be more willing to take on what should be profitable work.

What's your source on them struggling? Because if it's just something the owner said, it's definitely bullshit.

This really goes to show you can read any meaning you like into art.

See it's actually a depiction of class inequality, where the kings are represented by the fat petulant child who is withholding sustenance, wealth, and the means of production (represented by the fish) from the angry proletariat, represented by the cat.

Id like to hear Cuyp's own interpretation, because I think most art criticism is simply people ascribing their own meaning, like I just did.

It was hammered into me during childhood that thank you is the only polite response to a compliment.

I still think it's rude not to say it. And I absolutely hate it when people say "I know."

It's not wrong but any time someone is giving advice and selling something at the same time, it calls into question their motives and integrity.

Just means we should be suspicious, that's all. Lots of scammers out there.

I have a lot of fallen trees on my property. Obviously I salvage what I can for firewood, but most of it is half rotten and not suitable for either firewood nor building.

I clean it up into piles in the fall and spring and burn it in the winter. And I made a hugelkultur mound that used some of it. But there's sooo much, and I'd rather do something better than just burn it.

Any ideas?

"Companies have customers and therefore they have no responsibility to climate change whatsoever. They don't have to manage their waste, they can dump recyclables into the landfill, and it's the customers fault!"

Fuck off with this shit.
