I don’t want to work forever and I 100% disagree with this article, but I also don’t want to be my grandparents who never went anywhere or did anything ever because they were limited to their pension money. I would rather work part time than wait around for someone to visit because I can’t afford to do anything else.
There needs to be some enhanced senior programs to help make it so you don’t have to spend the next 20 years doing another puzzle alone at the table or whatever the stupid ass title was.
This is a sense of purpose or meaning of life thing I guess. Some see work as their only meaning of life. More power to them though personally for me I rather rot not doing anything than working for someone till I die.
if only free markets worked that way. Countries that make lots of would panic and try to horde what is left. You also have half the worker to raise the animals, crops, and everything else we need. Half the number of driver does not mean we need half the roads
In my region of Brazil we have three flavors (!!!) of hot dog: beef (filled with meaty Bolognese), chicken (shredded chicken cooked in tomato sauce) and mixed (both; yes, BOTH!!).
Things Brazilians put in hotdogs:
Hot dogs. How many, you ask? Well, how many do you want?
This is the feeling when someone cosigns/supports your bland statement “Nachos are the best food!” and then they immediately project their entire fucked up POV on you and follows with something completely off the mark in the spirit of, “THIS GUY GETS IT, MAN! We should lower the age of consent!!!”
There is no combination of ingredients a brazilian won’t dare mix.
Americans will be whining about pineapple on pizza while Brazil is adding banana, chocolate, ribs and potato chips to it.
I’m honestly all for it, i hate this dumbass stigma people have over changing “traditional recipies”. Fuck that, mix it up, throw shit at the all until it sticks, just make me something that tastes good.
That’s fine, just change the name. It’s not a Philly Cheesesteak anymore if you cover it in mushrooms, green peppers, mustard and pickles, for example.
But it’s not random. Not fair. Not balanced. Entire civilizations of gut bacteria wiped out! To them it was like he wiped out entire planets instead of life forms!
I mean Thanos stick was that it was random and dispassionate, and thus morally not biased towards specific values or ideals. Well except for the individual gut bacteria.
but how do the forces behind the infinity stones determine who gets dusted? In some places is was all except one person in a large group of people dusted and only sometimes was it half of the population of an area.
That means that part of what was dusted away must’ve been micro-organisms like bacteria in people’s guts.
In case anyone from the UK needed another reason to prostrate themselves before the altar of Scandinavian interior design and foodstuffs this weekend, IKEA UK now sells the double hotdog at the exit bistro.
At least where I live, the licensing test covers rules of the road, not automotive knowledge. I think this commenter was referring to some test covering very surface-level knowledge of vehicles, with a focus on ways to tell if a car is unasafe to drive.
I’m in Sweden, we get two big books of just theory stuff. There are entire sections on how deep the patterns must be, when you are allowed to use what type of tyres (summer, friction, studded), etc. along with what consequences there are.
You must have winter tyres between the 1st of December and the 31st of March, so long as there may be snow or ice on the roads. Studded tires are only allowed between the 1st of October through to the 15th of April as they wear down the roads and cause excessive pollution.
There is so much general car knowledge. Warning lights, optimal tyre pressure (which is variable depending on your car and the load), how to drive in an eco-friendly manner, child seats, it never fucking ends.
I got my license in Sweden and there are laws for when you must have summer tires and winter tires as well as how deep the pattern needs to be. This is all covered in the writing portion of the test. It’s quite possible that someone driving with wheels like that might get their license suspended at the least.
us Americans, we seem to like to swerve deftly around many such useful civil universalities.
things you’d assume are vital to a peaceful, comfortable, safe people are often things that seem to baffle us.
i think this repeated swerving should disabuse anyone of any notion of the USA being a civilized nation, but somehow people keep classifying us as better than we are. lived here my whole life… not sure how someone could make that mistake, honestly. not unless they were really rich, I guess.
One big part is because of Hollywood. The entire world image of America comes from movies.
Once you start to look into the prison system, the justice system, the financial system… Well, nothing actually builds on any feeling of caring about its citizens at all.
Brakes on cars are a hydraulic system. The check is for the fluid levels of the hydraulics. Without enough fluid, pressing the brake pedal would not depress the pads.
Or, alternatively, we should build cities where owning a car isn’t a requirement to hold down a job, and keep piloting a two ton death machine as a privilege, not a right
Jesus, at $20/mo you would pay for a full set of the (expensive) OEM tires on my car in less than a year. They’re warrantied for 3 years of standard mileage, so even worse than double.
