That’s because they are. It’s just a socially acceptable drug addiction.

What does the name being common in that case get you that individual doesn’t? The only thing I can think of is not having to take the trouble to name it yourself, which is such a minor thing.

1. in the story, he dried them in the sun.

2. the story says the pigs who did less work spent the days playing not getting paid and buying food

The version I remember being told had the first little pig just look around and see straw, the second little pig had to go gather sticks from the nearby woods, and the third little pig had to actually make the bricks over days.

I found this video and I really wouldn’t be able to tell if it was just sound. I think I have like 2 categories I can reliably do for strings: bow or not.

Soundwise or visually? I can see the difference (big vs little) but I don’t think I could reliably pick out the sound between the two.

When they’re really little, high contrast is more clear and theoretically more interesting. There’s a lot of black and white toys aimed at newborns for that reason.

It saving billions isn’t argument against it being good for employees/most people. If say the government introduced a bill that required every company to send 5% of their money to Russia, fighting the hell out of that bill would save them billions and would be in line with what most Americans want. There are more realistic ones like pretty much every iteration of the kids online safety act.

It might be a good rule of thumb, but it definitely isn’t the only argument/proof needed.

I prefer something like clover to astroturf, but your local climate may vary.

It’s a consonant. Specifically it’s the voiced palatal approximant represented as ⟨j⟩ in IPA.

The Windows is not free. The OEMs pay a license fee and that cost is passed on to people buying those computers.

It generally takes months. It’s not like women can lactate just by pushing their nipples either.

In the ordinary course of events, they need to get pregnant, build up all the ducts and milk producing cells, and then get the right combination of hormones to trigger milk production. And then you have to keep removing that milk, or it stops.

You can get people not going through pregnancy to lactate by giving them the hormones. Recovery from famine can also produce the needed hormone spike.

The equivalent of reading the top answer on Google isn’t installing an HVAC system. It’s turning on the AC. I bet most people who do that don’t know much about how they work. If your landlord got the AC replaced with something “new and better” but it still blew cold when you turned it on, I doubt most people do anything different than what they were already doing unless they experienced bad results.

It’s at least the same concept. Words can hurt. Don’t use them to hurt people. Why do they seem to get that with the n-word but not other slurs or demeaning language? Do they actually understand that with the n-word, or are they just copying what everyone else does without actually thinking about why?

Women are very good to have an amazing time with.

I have some ikea pieces that I bought when I started grad school. They’re 10 years old, have been through 4 moves, and they’re still doing fine. Even better, I could move them myself without it being a huge strain. They aren’t high quality (which tends to seem to mean heavy and not disassemblable), but they’ve treated me pretty well.

Because everyone else uses “small, medium, large” and it’s annoying to have to switch when that’s something you commonly use. Whereas furniture lines often have made up or creative names because companies need some names to differentiate the 20 different dining room tables they sell. Other retailers might use “the classic collection” and “the modern collection” or whatever. But it’s not standardized like small, medium, and large.

Introverts don’t not want social connection. They just prefer a smaller number of deeper connections. “You’re not people” is a common sentiment from introverts to their closest friends and family. Most introverts still have and enjoy social connection. They just prefer it in an intimate or chill setting to large groups.

Yeah. My VCR TV would automatically rewind and start playing again. I have no idea how many times some of those tapes were played but it definitely broke 100.

“I could care less” is almost always said sarcastically. A hallmark of sarcasm is saying the opposite of what you mean. So, a sarcastic “I could care less” implies they could not care less.
