Exactly, right? They want dead flakes, not live one's, so they keep us as cattle on carpets, not consume us wholesale. That's like being afraid of vultures if you're healthy.

I have no hope he will actually do it, because his Sudafed sundowner brain will forget it in 2 minutes, but as a Canadian waiting for own province to kill DST when New York drops it, I'm hoping this happens.

Do they have hobbies/beliefs/sycophantic mannerisms similar to the bosses in charge? Because that'll get you promoted. A lot of management are lonely people who don't view others as equals unless they suck up or never argue, thus useless people get promoted so they can hang with "friends" in meetings all day.

Or good old nepotism.

Credentials sure, but Cass has also been found to follow anti Trans groups, threw out any positive study that wasn't blind (which would have been unethical to run) and the report itself was influenced by a similar report originally done in Florida under Ron DeSantis. This is a biased report that started with a conclusion and ignored any evidence that disagreed.

I always feel that good pineapple, well caramelized, can be good on pizza. The problem is the majority of pizza places don't properly caramelize it, thus why most people never have a chance to try it well made, and thus the strong feelings against it.

At least that's why I dont usually grab Hawaiian pizza.

Congratulations! Electric carver is fun to use. One thing, and only saying this if you're willing: Consider learning how to carve with a french knife, training with chicken. You get a lot juicier meat by carving against the grain. That said, I totally respect if you like sticking with the carver and not worrying about it.

I can speak to this (Canadian, we have Thanksgiving in October, i get high because parts of my family are hard right Conservatives): If I get stoned for dinner (after preparing dinner), I don't feel like shit when people rag on the food or bring up trash political takes. Being high makes me calmer.

Also I don't care if people know I'm high, so that helps.

If I do stay sober, I have to hear how minorities are ruining the country and be accused of poisoning people by not making a healthy meal... which makes me anxious.

It costs more, but those are indirect costs associated with marketing. Most executives only look at sales and expenses and don't think in indirect costs, regardless of how many business people try to explain. So the costs are marketing, we either cut the costs or we cut the budget, but not change what we are doing. Or they don't care, because of the above collusion mentioned in another comment, or because they want to spend on marketing for their golf buddy, the marketing CEO.

Does it drive me insane, as someone who has a marketing and accounting degree, and had to explain it a bunch of times? Yes. Also most high level executives make up a fantasy version of how the business is being run and feel anyone who doesn't agree is inherently wrong.

From what I could find, it's from Cthulhu: Death may Die, which lists the following artists: Nicolas Fructus, Karl Kopinski, Thierry Masson, Adrian Smith, Richard Wright. So one of them, I think.

I'm in Canada, and our Thanksgiving was a month ago. Given weed is legal here, I too avoided the truly deranged politics by flying to the moon. Good times. Also my turkey turned out amazing.

Looked up the director, and can't say I have seen anything beyond Cloverfield Paradox, which didn't wow me. So maybe hiring someone who didn't really do any work for 4 years didn't make an interesting movie? This whole project seems like someone hated Falcon and Winter Soldier and vowed to make it so terrible that no one will ever watch it again.

It seemed like an easy bunt of a movie: Make a 90s political thriller (like they did with Winter Soldier) and call it a day. Yet here we are, a lackluster release. Just scrap it for taxes.

Final Fantasy 6, because I have played through it on SNES, PS1, Rom, then SNES again.... oh, and there's 500 hours in Slay The Spire. Maybe also Civ 3.
