I don’t think it’s just Tumblr either; I know quite a few people who are allergic to the shift key. I kind of dig it as a style though? Like it’s a dialect sort of thing.

I didn’t know it was called orthography either, so thanks yourself.

I don’t think syntax means what you think it means.

Thanks for the info. I’m actually surprised myself that the vegetable sources are so high.

I don’t really know how to read these scores. Can you explain why whey, soy, and pea protein supplements can’t be effectively consumed?

I’m actually pissed off. Look at Miss Fancy over here with her tuna and almonds. If they can’t afford rice, why don’t they just eat beef??

Besides the other stuff you said, obesity is extremely common, as is being underweight with regard to muscle mass. Getting 15-20% of your daily calories from protein helps curb snacking and increases the success of a diet. Protein bars and shakes are also excellent substitutes for candy bars and milkshakes for those of us who can’t quite drop junk food entirely, just like swapping to diet soda.

Someone more knowledgeable can correct me, but I believe RDA values are a minimum, not a goal.

Seems to be working just as well as regular voting.

If copyright law were sensible no one would have to involve him or DC Comics to make whatever Sandman work they wanted.

It’s how forums used to be, and it worked just fine. You had to go out of your way to find communities dedicated to bigotry instead of getting forcibly pipelined into them just for joining a funny cat image group.

I’m interested, but also confused. They’re flash cards, and I guess other users have made sets of cards already so I don’t have to make my own. Is it just word=word translation, or do people use pictures and sound? How does it teach things like grammar, etymology, and mnemonic tips? Can I write on it? Can it listen to my pronunciation?

I think they mean on mobile as opposed to PC. I can’t find any option besides the dashboard-style homepage offered by default. I can customize it, but I can’t make it a specific URL.

Doesn’t it matter though? Isn’t delivering the promised product the correct reparations for failing to deliver a product? Pretty sure it was easy to get a refund back then, too.

My coworkers were unimpressed and made fun of the exaggerated packaging. I will not even try it.

It was banned briefly, but it’s allowed again since there’s nothing dangerous about it.

There’s lots of bad pacing and horrible acting in movies today though. You can obviously watch or not watch whatever, but I think you’re limiting yourself unnecessarily if you put too much weight on the year of release.

None of that makes any sense. An old book and a new book aren’t different in the way a rotary phone and a smartphone are. They are functionally the same object: text on paper.

You could have, for example, a story about someone stranded on an island, and the era it was written in would make almost no difference at all because technology doesn’t have any bearing on the story, and we haven’t changed as a species. The culture of the author would influence things, but that’s true even of media today since we don’t all share the same culture.

Old media can also be very illuminating when it does affect the story because it can teach you something about the era in which it was made. You might think to yourself, “Gosh, people used to be able to feed and house their families on a single paycheck? Why can’t we do that today?”

And yeah, having stuff in black and white is less visually interesting, but I’m not going to rule out something I might find enjoyable just because of that. I watched quite a few old sitcoms in my childhood that I enjoyed just as much as the modern cartoons, and I still enjoy some of those cartoons today alongside modern TV.

Do you think the Home Alone sequels are better than the original?

How is it dystopian?

TIL gymnosperms are a thing.

I’ve never been interested in RDR2 because I’m not into the western aesthetic, but I am absolutely into the aesthetic of being a time traveler or alien or wizard using my powers to help farmers and explode bad guys in an otherwise western setting. If I had any money, I would pay someone to make this.

Moby Dick is good in a way where I don’t care about any of the characters or the story, but I could read Melville describe water or argue that dolphins are fish for the rest of my life, just because of how beautifully he does it.
