She typed all lower case though. That means she said it quietly.

When liberals ask "do you believe in the ltov?" they're poisoning the well by implying that Marxism is some completely unscientific religion. No, the LToV is more like a definition of what Marx means when he says "value" and libs love to smugly say "that isn't what value means according to xyz though" okay then we're talking about something else aren't we?

I mean I personally find the ltov to be more a more useful definition than other definitions of "value" because of what Marx does with it but to understand that you would have to read Capital and that's too much commitment for a smuglord's twitter post.

Understanding things in context was another thing Marx was big on so I'm positive he meant it to be taken that way.

She knew the waist size of every person (particularly kids) in the area, and would drive around with boxes full of jeans. She would mend, patch, and fit them, and collect any unwanted, worn out, or outgrown denim

rat-salute-2 to you, jean lady, my hero.

How many wars is China actually engaged in right now though? They probably more have them around in case and the quality reflects that, while American MREs are made with the expectation they will be used.

I'm just throwing out an idea really, I'm not a military guy.

I go to the grocery store and tomatoes will be randomly $7? And next week it's something else. It's like a rolling brownout for the economy.

Sometimes I feel like (our particular brand of) Christians are getting too powerful again in the US and we need the reddit atheists to return, but then this guy opens his mouth.

God I'm so sick of that characterization of autism. Autism doesn't change whether you feel emotions it just changes how you express them and how you perceive them in others. I find most people with autism (myself included) to be particularly sensitive in fact, in the way that anyone who finds themselves lower on some spectrum in the kyriarchy is.

I'm going to go against the flow here and say BTRFS. It's stable enough to the point of being a non consideration. You get full backups using a negligible amount of storage. Even using it on Windows is easier than using ext4 with the winbtrfs driver.

There's a very big gap to bridge to make anything vegan as gross as omni food. What are they going to put in there that is as gross as literal flesh, an intact piece of what was a living, perceiving mammal you could probably have been friends with?

Judging by the forum posts I'm looking at runners are very serious about this and I don't feel like being subjected to smug ire from classist elitist assholes. The course in question is 95% public sidewalks and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay $75 for a t-shirt, a number, and some snacks (in other words I don't intend to partake in any of them) and I don't even care about placing.

Maybe if I email the organizers and beg they'll give me a fake number so I don't get bullied or something I don't know. Has anyone done this before?

Edit: Thanks everyone you've been very helpful <3 I'm going to email the organizers and try to get a deal and if that doesn't work I'm going to just go for it. Maybe throw in $5 if theres a donation.

He started out by crashing on someone's couch, and finding all the free shit he could on facebook marketplace and craigslist and reselling it. His very first step shows how making a million dollars like that is done, by stealing everything that isn't nailed down and extracting a profit for nothing. That's the biggest takeaway I'm getting here. I'm sure most of those people giving things away on craigslist and facebook were thinking they were giving it to someone who would directly use it, not a vampire.

That also goes to show how not everyone can climb out of poverty. Maybe one guy can but he just pulled the ladder up by removing those resources for other people who were actually in need. A business degree haver should be aware that just because one person can acquire something at a certain price and turn a profit on it doesn't mean that everyone can do that. That free item was available to exactly one person exactly one time.
