any idea how they dated it?

I think we’re just supposed to infer something generally heartwarming and nod vaguely and approvingly.

Stupid sexy caterpillar!

Nice!

A thin slice of very sharp cheddar is really good on that too.

Nothing matters to reality. “Mattering” is a human judgement. “Fact” is also a human judgement. The things you have in your head that you call facts and opinions are both the same kind of thing. We consider the ones that model reality effectively to be facts. They are all opinions and discerning which we classify as facts is an ongoing process.

I did not say opinions are fact. And I am not saying that opinions change reality. But your assertions about what facts and opinions are is incorrect.

If you describe an opinion as right or wrong, you are talking about the opinion’s relation to reality. And opinions certainly do have such relation.

Better yet butter and grill it.

It constantly amazes me how many people haven’t caught on to the fact that just always preemptively being nice to people makes your life so much better because people tend to treat you decently in return.

What makes you think being on the same page as society is a good thing?

Washing in hard water can make cotton feel rougher.

Also when cotton is damp, like if you sweat much, it tends to be abrasive. That is why hikers say ‘cotton kills’ and recommend you stay away from it in favor of wool or synthetic ‘technical’ fabrics.

Many types of fiber are prebiotic, that is, they can make your gut biome health better.

Some of the bags contained older men with dirty necks?

How do you communicate this with math? Makes the Italian chin flick gesture.

Conversely, I hate people who can’t maintain an even speed and are constantly hitting their brakes unecessarily to compensate for having sped up too much for the car in front of them.

So with a chunky soup, do you use a giant straw like sucking up oversized boba?

Are you sure that’s your jurisdiction? Isn’t that typography or something?

Those two sets of professions differ in that one set has to interact with you directly and one doesn’t. So you haven’t really ruled out yourself as the problem.

IMO the person doing the cooking should get to decide. Like any household chore, you don’t tell the person doing it how to do it, you appreciate them doing it. Now asking them, would they make such and such how you like sometimes, is reasonable. Insisting isn’t.

I’m with you in not getting this. I think the concert comparison is useful. What a lot of people get out of a live show is a connection with the crowd. A bunch of people around them all expressing energy about the same thing. I think it’s the same with a political rally. Personally I don’t get this–I just lack the gene for getting into crowd energy or something. But a lot of people really enjoy this, and people ramp each other up. I kind of think it’s a human instinct we’d be better of without.
