*palate fatigue

I work in wine importing so this is a mistake I make all the damn time.

pallet- thing used to strap stuff to so they can be put on containers (for container trucks and ships).

palate - roof of your mouth or an alternate word for your taste

Palette- painter’s thing for holding paint.

Im only down with eating clean bugs that are large enough to have enough substance to be worthwhile or whatever makes it into processed foods and “foods” that I eat (jelly beans arent really food and frequently have shellac and that comes from a specific beetle.)

No they didn’t. If they were gay they wouldnt be really into having sex with their girlfriend in the first place.

Anon is another misogynistic straight guy.

I know a ton of gay woman who would not agree with anything after the line break thus it is not gay.

Why are you mentioning “straight boys”? Do you think gay men have a deeper understanding of vaginas (they tend not to).

How far up the chute are we talking?

I imagine sexism like this morphs into DV given time and opportunity

Would you support forcing Musk out of his roles in these companies due to his drug useage?

If not Musk should be forced from his roles in these companies. You cannot be a defense contractor and do ketamine.

Thelema was also intentionally created though they are unrelated as far as I am aware.

Wiccans are not a monolith. Some have claimed to be an ancient faith reborn while others are aware of the hodgepodge nature.

That being said their point is America shouldn’t lead this charge and IMO that’s fair given America’s support of Israel.

Sure, but that could be said about any belief system depending on when you start the clock.

Not really? We don’t have distinct points of creation for many faiths. With Wicca it can be set in a specific time and place. You aren’t going to find Wiccans from 100 years ago.

Wicca is a blend of multiple different religious ideologies that existed in Europe at some point in the past. If you took someone from modern day Colchester in 200ce they might recognize parts of their ancestral faiths but parts will be from other tribes and peoples. Hence Wicca doesn’t have an “authentic” set of beliefs as much as an intentionally created one. That’s different from something like Judaism or Christianity whose views weren’t created by people with the intent of creating a fait h.

They were like “How can we justify them having the place we know we need them to have?” and worked from there.

I know a guy living on Central Park West with 2000 sq ft two floor apartment with park views that was paying less than what I paid for 1k sq ft in the middle of Queens. That’s a nicer place in a better area than Friends had for less than 3k a month thirty years after the show all because of rent control.

We know they all came from money except Joey and Phoebe. They could also be getting money from family.

Again their living room had to fit six or more. There are episodes where they have six people in Lucy’s house but rarely is it more than four or five.

Seinfeld had 4 main cast and they rarely had anyone else in their places other than the main 4. No one needed to fit a dozen people in a room.

Were you renting living space in NYC in 1994? I was.

Do you know anyone with a ridiculous place because of rent control policies? I know several. Everything about the show makes sense within the context of the time once you realize that eight or so people need to fit on the stage in many scenes

Yes, without question it is at best very uncomfortable

Thank you for that.

As a kid I asked a friend’s dad who was a chemist if magic was real and he replied “Do you think anyone would go into years of schooling for engineering if a shortcut existed?”

It is a wholly constructed faith based partly on fragments of things that existed previously but with no input from those cultures so there’s no “authentic” Wiccan beliefs other than those from the 1950s.

you think you know better than someone who worked on tv in NYC at that time?

Mary Tyler Moore’s show never had the expectation of holding six or more people in the same room like friends.

All in the family took place in a house. Im not sure how you miss this. It’s in the credits.

Lucy and her Husband never had more than a handful of people on screen at once. They dont need the space Friends does.

Friends needs a space for the main cast plus partners and that requires a larger space plus the ability to fit crew which requires large places. The bit about rent control makes perfect sense if you have experience with NYC real-estate.
