It’s happened so long in my life that I’m mostly unfazed. The ice cream is thick and the cup they use holds it well to the sides so it can stay upside down (unless the machine mixed it wrong, but I’ve never seen it fall) for a few seconds before any real budging.
Still don’t like it, though
Kinda thing’s almost not worth thinking about
Why would the rich people prevent other rich people from assisting them in screwing over poor people to get more rich?
The club isn’t sectioned off by nationality at that level, it’s by net worth
God I tried SO HARD to like that book. Liked the show growing up because Legend of The Seeker is campy and weirdly ABC channel sexy (blond leather ladies touching you with Pain Dildos, essentially) but it was just trash.
The main character, by all means, should be the least knowledgeable and probably the least ‘wise’ character, but in comes Richard educating the Men of Mud on proper government structures and how their primitive tribal society was stupid and the way they made decisions was dumb.
And you’re right, don’t get me started on the confessors and how anyone with eyes wants to get bent over the table by the protagonist within minutes of meeting him.
…still like the shitty CW show though.
They’re saying the average British citizen isn’t in the business of portraying the rest of Europe unfavorable so much as foreign (and domestic) financial influence pushes those topics to drive the average british citizen to agree with those standpoints.
It’d be silly to think it’s ONLY domestic rich assholes are making waves when we know GLOBAL rich assholes like to play in everyone’s pond.
Please detail me a protest that disrupts the rich that cannot be cleaned up by the Rich’s employees/servants/serfs
Thank you for this comparison. That’s a fun one and one that’s made a little more ‘subtle’ in the US if only because of how common that language is among the populace in regions and how pervasive protestantism is in advertising/messaging.
…can we talk about Kidneyfoot Jenny, or do you think they were just trying to differentiate between her and Mexican Jennie?
But why do you despise it? I’ve heard criticism for Americans taking ‘American’ when there are many many more countries in The Americas and have yet to see the term above until now, but it doesn’t bother me any.
I disagree.
Low millions, like your net worth in your 60s when you own a home, potentially two cars, and a retirement fund. 1-4 million? Sure, not rich, well off by most standards.
Closing in on thay double digit millions? Yeah you’re rich. Hell, in most of the US, having a net worth of 7 million dollars is the ‘eccentric millionaire’ level for most of rural America.
I don’t know, psychopathic tendencies run all over the Reynolds family.
Lack of empathy, a pattern of manipulating others, persistent antisocial behaviors (the DENNIS system, most of the gang’s plans), an innate immunity to stress (like when he just willed his stress away in the ‘mental health day’ episode)
Man’s a psychopath
What got me through the rat sudies in college was three things my statistics professor (who ran the rat studies) telling me three things.
They have better Healthcare than you do. They have to be healthy and cared for and all the shots and vet visits possible
Like you said, they do get born for this and are ethically killed
Their life use has to be calculated, scrutinized, debated, and approved by boards designed to keep the horrors of unchecked science at bay. If you want rats to do cocaine, you’ll need 30 pages of explanations and forms and approved methodology and proposed scientific benefit, and then they decide if it’s worthy or not. Then when you’re done, if ANYTHING goes wrong with those rats it has to be documented and explained and accepted or you’ve just got an absolute rain of hell falling on your tenure and future prospects in animal testing.
In this instance they were looking into the concept of learned helplessness, where they taught ‘nothing can be done to fix your situation’ to one group, and then removed the obstacle stopping them from leaving the shocking room, and found that, after they’d learned helplessness, they were not inclined to seek the not-shocking floor even if the door was wide open for them to move.
It’s sad, and I genuinely don’t know of the ethics behind the study, but the research itself was sound and led to further studies attempting to see if this effect applies more generally to other animals. Behavior is important to understand and study, and watching the little lab mice get PTSD in college was not a fun day, and still makes me sad (i adopted two rats, after) but the tests one can run on lab mice with PTSD is really useful for understanding the human brain.
Prior to Gamefaqs, I myself was perusing Gamewinners.com…a similar forum site lol
Boo, “pro censorship” arguments presented as concern for others.
Parts are in central. Have a sister or bear the western edge
I am not far enough to know if it happens an additional time, or if he ever gets them repaired. In the book I read first (supposedly 7th in the series, by mistake) it seemed he could make some expressions but that takes place a while after the first book in the series that I’m wrapping up, where it has just recently taken place.
The first book is called Xenos, at least that’s where I’m reading that covered the paralysis part.
That could be a couple different ones.
But, Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn had his ability to show emotion severed during interrogation by an enemy, and due to that person’s ineptitude at torture, he lost the connection for some nerves in his face. I’m reading that series now, having started several books too far into it and finding a ‘you’re the clone of other character from the first few books’ and needing to restart so I could get the full context
Yeah shit on them all you want, they were one of the most played bands growing up, it was my best friend’s second favorite band (he likes Breaking Benjamin too much) when we were in high school.
I don’t like them now, they just stopped being relevant and producing what I liked, but I won’t call their stuff trash, it helped define metal in a good majority of the 00s.
Did you do the evil thing and insist that, because it fell down, it was free per the advertisements conditions?
I can never bring myself to call out the fast food worker on a policy like that, like the McDonald’s ‘window to food in 30 seconds’ nonsense they pull out sometimes or the ‘if we didn’t ask you about wanting fries, get free French fries’ shit. Don’t make customers into inspectors/watch dogs.
