I know.

Thank you Mr. huqrugus. To your health!

That paper clip looking guy had me convinced this was a joke and looking for gags in the other pictures and names, until I looked it up…

I don’t often, but Drifting off with Joe Pera.

My town has a mushroom shop.

You can adapt how you speak to the people you’re talking to. In fact most people do that somewhat automatically, but you can consciously encourage it to happen more fully.

I heard someone use “literally” the other day in a way that made absolutely no sense, even in the not-literally-correct way we’ve all gotten used to. Almost like its heading for the sort of fits-anywhere role that “fucking” has.

It depends how high you set the bar, and how broadly you interpret “taste” but I really want to say most. (I want to include the sense of how humans actually talk, interact, and how the world works, and count following conventionalized but shallow ideas of those as bad taste.) Production technology and skills have gotten very high.

People walking by in backless shoes that slap against their feet with every step.

I have one like this, but it takes an annoying amount of force to use, so I rarely use it. Maybe it’s just not the best of its kind? I much prefer one of the lever-based ones. To be fair, I had some shit versions of those too before I found a good one.

The best one I’ve used is this one which holds a little more garlic than most and has a swing out grate so it’s easy to clean.

Can it be a coincidence that the canals on Mars were covered up?

Drs can be callous asses.

But also a Dr could be a pedo and doing what was technically valid, but inappropriately enjoying it. OP could have been intuitively picking up on that.

Yes, and in particular because of the patronising thing you mention. Just like lots of the other things they do on the veritasium channel you gave as an example. Because they are things no one does because they think it makes their video better, but because it is known to drive engagement.

My dad was in an independent living facility. They provided all 3 meals, would take care of laundry (I think for an extra fee), and they did some basic cleaning. Memory care, and assisted living definitely provide that also.

In going to just steal the comment to another game:

You could just do things irl

I think some are time-of-day based also, running automatically at busy times and switching to manual at off hours.

Ok, but don’t doesn’t context matter? Not only is valuable meaningless without a “to whom”, it is meaningless without a “for what”? A doctor I might love being around might not be my choice for who is going to operate on me. The Dr I want operating on me, I might find unbearable to be around. As far as who deserves to be in a slum or to live in as palace, “deserve’s got nothing to do with it.”

Well, the food itself you add all these spices to itself has a flavor. If you make everything taste like a mix of all the different spices that becomes a another kind of samey and boring even if you wouldn’t use the word “bland” any more. Of course no cuisine does exactly that, but to me, some tend more to one side of that spectrum or the other. There are different ways of striking a balance. Italian is an example of a great cuisine that no one would accuse of being boring which tends toward using a light hand and fewer ingredients at time.

What to you think “valuable” means?
