Greed isn't an intention, it's an attribute. You don't really intend to go be greedy, you intend to go make money because of the greed. Sure a cartoon villain might intend to go be greedy because he's Ebenezer Scrooge. But people aren't generally speaking cartoons.

Attributes are the foundation that makes up the decision making that goes into willful intention.

But no one person is a singular thing, thus you literally cannot have an intention that is made up of only one attribute.

That desire to make money along with the greed of the person, is also going to be informed by things such as self preservation, hunger, thirst, desire for shelter, desire to help others, desire to hurt others, creativity, etc.

A person who makes wood cups enjoys the hobby, then sells the cups with the intention to make money to buy more wood. Then due to their greed that intention is compounded and they start a business and expand.

There is a reason the seven sins and virtues are as esoteric as they are. They are supposed to describe non-willful forces that drive people.

Yes...? Are you struggling with the concept of an agnostic accent? I'm talking about call centers here after all.

No even when polled, British, Australian and Canadian find it easier to understand when spoken over the phone. When compared to any accent other than their own.

Again it's the reason it's the most commonly used accent when you need a one size fit all solution and you can't get a local accent for every region your servicing.

Sir, where did you get a third hand. Grave robbing and necromancy is illegal around here.

Tho I do very much agree with what you have on said third hand.

I don't put the cart back because the workers at my grocery store keep telling me not to

To be fair I walk with a limp and a cane and hobbling back to my car is more of a pain then just popping the front of the cart up and hitching it on the planters. So it doesn't roll into someone.

The workers there know me well and I show up 10 mins before closing on my way to work every day to get a snack for work.

Part of that is, out side of a few regions of the Midwest that have a really unique accent.

Most of the Midwest is "nutural English". Yes there's an accent, but there is a huge lack of slang, regional quirks, and is widely one of the most understandable accents across every English speaking country.

It's the "universal English accent" in a sense. It's a large reason why call centers became so popular there. That and low costs.

Functionally Midwestern accent is in a way the English that's so boring that the banality of it IS the accent. Lol it's kinda funny.

That's not the same as takeaway at all. Like at all at all.

GrubHub and takeaway were two entirely separate companies that merged.

The names were already in use at the same time and had nothing to do with each other before that.

They aren't regional variants.

What rules? There are no enforced rules. The flag code is barely guidelines, and when applied to civilians in unofficial matters are even less strict.

It's actually insane how little protect the flag has for a country as nationalist as this

Been to topless beaches, naked boobs honestly are less attractive to the eye then boobs in a bikini top.

Sexual clothing ends up being like 80% of the reason my eye is drawn to tits most of the time.
