Mormon missionaries go everywhere. I have met Mongolian mormons.

Dress codes and grooming standards are always the same between the sexes true

Moreover he knew this requirement going in. Who cares. Go to another school if you don’t like the policies of the cult school

Right, why would I bother with the reddit IPO? IPO pricing is all over the place. If I want it - I don’t - I’ll buy it day 1.

Some communities have always made it hard for Spring Breakers but I agree, momentum is building.

It’s not all of a sudden. The Spring Break crowd has been controversial for decades. Bar and hotel owners of course love them. Locals unaffiliated with the tourism industry are more ambivalent and always have been.

Yeah this seems crazy. We should just require Israel to set forth and protect a humanitarian corridor. We have a ton of leverage against Israel.

Start trying Linux now using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). It’s a great way to dip your toe in the water, and your computer can run it today.

Race is not a biological term but it’s absolutely a sociological term, i.e. a complex social construct we’ve created based on superficial physical characteristics

You’re going to need to provide the definition of nutrition that you are using.

Also if you’re angry at “apple and ham sandwich” you’re going to need to do the compared to what thing, and I guarantee you the content of the school lunches the kids’ parents failed to pay for would make you even angrier.

You are right on the last point. Parents should feed their kids.

This is excessively gloomy and borderline hysterical.

It’s good for kids to see their parents providing for them - such as packing lunches for school. It emphasizes the truth that adult life is a series of mundane but important tasks, and that duty is also important.

Their parents did not send them to school with a lunch or with money to buy lunch.

The debt is the parents’ debt.

“What in the fuck” indeed! Given that this could have been avoided by sending a ham sandwich and an apple.

It’s really their parents’ debt.

Misgendering is a very mild form of disrespect compared to what all is out there, regularly, on X and every other social media site. It is a good thing that these sites do not generally regulate disrespect, although for community controlled forums (such as subreddits) I think it’s good that moderators can choose their own rules.

A lot of these net worth increases are from the rising value of companies whose shares they own a lot of (e.g. Amazon in Bezos’s case)

Many people aren’t interested in a life of leisure. They want to create, achieve, and strive. In the same way that someone may want to spend more time creating art, people like Bezos and Musk want to spend more time creating companies that build and make things. Both of them spend a lot of their time on passion projects having to do with space travel, for example.

So the question is: okay, you make your billion and you retire. What then? Lie around and watch TV and stuff? A lot of people are not interested in that.

I haven’t looked into it, but there’s got to be some open source firmware for a lot of these TVs, right? To improve the UI and remove all spyware and bloatware?

I legit don’t know how binding arbitration can be legal.

Agreeing to terms of actual usage of the product, I understand. Like for a pogo stick, assuming your own risk of injury.

But I don’t know how they can legally just say that suing is impossible.

Yeah, and Michael Jordan owns restaurants. Who cares about Oprah.

That is nowhere close to generally true.
