Hey, the Corleones took care of their own. Traitors however...

Funnily enough, out of modern superhero movies, I think MCU got me to empathize with a villain the most. It was Thanos, who had a legitimate reason for reducing the population of the universe and didn't even want to discriminate.

I've grown bored with the MCU and haven't seen any of the newest films, but Infinity War was actually great.

Common misconception, it's actually Jeremy Bearimy

Definitely seen mutts reach that age. The key is to just have a small mutt that doesn't have any purebred ancestors for the last few generations at least.

I think the 17 year old sees them because they've got their age range at like 18-20, loads of underage people make Tinder accounts and put their real age in the bio. And the 29 year old would then see a lot fewer men. That's what I'm guessing the comment you replied to was about.

Huh? My LGBT friends are out there slaying and when my straight ass was last single, I got maybe a date a year. At this point, I'm fully prepared to die single because at 29 as a below average looking male, I'm not exactly the person any woman out there is looking for.

With day ahead pricing it changes... Daily.

Here in northern Europe dairy and meat industry go hand in hand, that is, when a dairy cow stops being productive it gets ground to beef.

For regions where beef as food is more valued than here (beef's so expensive, few people buy it in Estonia), meat moos are entirely different breeds and fed differently. Milk moos might end up as mince, but probably not a quality steak. You don't need nearly as many moos if you're only producing milk, and then maybe some meat products from cows, compared to when you're raising a bunch specifically to be eaten.

Chickens raised for meat also don't lay eggs. So if you only eat eggs and not chicken, way fewer chickens are needed. Also, if you're not even willing to go vegetarian, switch out beef and pork for chicken. Per kilogram of meat, chicken is way less carbon intensive (pork is also less intensive than beef). It's still a lot compared to eating potatoes from your own garden of course.

Mine chimes a quaint little song. It's enough because it can be heard pretty much anywhere in the house unless I'm in the basement. If I'm not home, the notification wouldn't be particularly useful - I might as well just check when I get home.

I mean the idea isn't the absolute worst. I just don't think it's a huge QoL improvement either.

What he's been saying is that NYC has an affordability problem. People can't afford basic necessities (rent, food, transportation, childcare). Can't speak for availability and pricing myself, I don't live in the US.

Now there's plenty of reasons to consider him awesome - those have been listed by more serious comments than mine.

But did you know he used to rap?

Also, right-wing media tried to brand him "Zohran the Destroyer" and very promptly stopped doing so when they realized it sounds way too cool. Apparently he's going to destroy NYC by advocating for 1) raised minimum wage, 2) universal free daycare, 3) A working fucking bus system. He's got personal experience with the problems of the bus system, numbers, a working proof of concept, and a plan to Trump-Proof the city

I'm not even American and I'm rooting for him. Both because he might actually improve people's lives and because he just seems awesome. Been a long time I've seen a politician with his charisma, enthusiasm, and vision. I hope NYC votes him into the office!
