Also British food: jellied eels. Cut up eels in jello.

Fuck that.

He’s not trusted by most Americans.

“Brazillion,” for those who—like me—were a bit slow on the uptake.

That’s part of the reason I left. Moderation went insane. The slightest infraction got you permabanned from mainstream subs. Your post could be removed for amazingly technical reasons with no explanation at all for what rule you broke. The site just became impossible to use.

FINALLY! Someone mentions the grossly unacknowledged Starbucks-Pepsi political divide!

Much as it is now, just poorer. Not a lot poorer, but still.

Mah mah mah mah mah! Mah mah! Mah mah mah mah mah!

Because he’s a useful tool of God!!!

Very important story, inappropriate forum.

I typically only replace my phones when they’re significantly worse than what a new, more modern phone would get me. So, that usually means when there are a bunch of new hardware features on the newer models or when the battery in my current phone is so old that it holds significantly less charge than it did when it was new.

That was a lie propagated by parrots.

If you see these and think, “I have no idea what those are, no cap,” you’re too young to be on the internet.

I’ve heard of the polar bear club and I totally get it (although they’re a little too extreme for me). The cold shock of relatively cool water when you’ve just come out of hot water is an exhilarating shock, almost like an adrenaline kick.

Not a coward. I just don’t think anarchists are smart people.

Absolutely not. I take cold showers in the summer all the time. I mean, they’re not super-cold, if that’s what you mean, but they’re relatively cool and designed to cool me off rather than warm me up (like the hot showers I take in the Winter months).

I don’t deal in oxymorons.

Does the first bite of a meal make the rest of the bites taste blander? Whatever your answer is, the same is true for this question you’ve posed.

Isn’t there a fairly robust body of research demonstrating a causal link between excessive social media use and increased anxiety at this point? Increased anxiety over a prolonged period of time can certainly cause depression, so I see it as a secondary effect.

Passion and Reason, by Richard and Bernice Lazarus. It’s a very accessible book about the connections between thoughts and emotions. Understanding what’s covered in it would save a lot of people a ton of confusion and social hardship in life.
