Reduction in population won’t work - it’d cause a reduction in demand of products leading to reduction in need of work force. It would just spiral to a population of 0

Then wipe it with a paper towel when it’s cool like a normal person

Eggs tend to cook rather well on cast iron so long as you use butter/tallow/fat/etc. and aren’t scrambling them.

Unfortunately I scramble my eggs nowadays so I don’t have much reason to use my cast iron pan anymore :(

The pans regularly get above boiling temperatures. They’re sterile

FYI, you can wash cast iron with soap.

Only if you re-season it afterwards. Otherwise it starts to rust because the seasoning is what protects it from oxidation

Don’t forget data brokers and car manufacturers selling everyone’s personal info to insurabce companies

I would normally say that at least she’s after guys that aren’t creepy by default, but I feel that more applies to guys chasing ladies under 21, not someone who’s in their mid-late 20’s

I don’t know if this counts, but when I was in grad school I had a Tinder date set up at a local pub. I got food poisoning the night before. The “fireworks” ended around 1-2 am and I felt confident enough to go to sleep a couple hours later.

By the time I woke up the next morning, I felt that I could at least meet up for a couple of beers and chat. Plus, I figured telling her I got food poisoning would sound like an excuse to weasel out of the date.

I ended up sitting outside the pub to meet up for a half hour. She never showed up, and I finally gave up asking if she’d show up a couple of times.

One strike exploded a tree in the back yard overnight, so I was about 30 feet away. I’m a fairly heavy sleeper when it comes to noise but it woke me up anyway.

I don’t want to have to code anything.

You don’t have to code anything. You just look through the game system browser, pick what you want, and after a few seconds it’s installed.

We don’t need automation. I want simplicity.

Then screenshare over Discord while drawing things in MS Paint. It’s simple and it’s not automated, just like you asked

global variables

vomits

Then what’s Java?

I have never heard of someone putting pumpkin and sweet potatoes into chili

I’m going to go a different route with advice.

Once this all gets worked out, it might be worth considering a new rule with gifts: don’t gift things, gift experiences. Or alternatively, don’t gift permanent things, gift consumables.

If you gift someone a tool, appliance, dress, etc. then they will need to find space to store it, even if they don’t like it. But if you get them a bottle of wine, or a dinner, or a trip to the Bahamas, then if they don’t like it it won’t be there forever and they’ll likely have a nice story.

But that might not work with your relationship and I have no way of knowing. Just pitching the idea in case it’s a good fit for you

On the other hand, maybe it’s a misplaced attempt at maintaining their privacy?

Plus, didn’t it reveal taichi to be a load of bollocks? Or was that some other martial art?

You’d be burned to a crisp by solar winds ;)

No, you wouldn’t. You’d start getting cancer.

Also, the atmosphere would start getting worn away. Most people would die of cancer before it’d get bad enough to asphyxiate everyone though

Income disparity can’t really be hidden

This falls under false dichotomy. Just because you can’t remove it 100% doesn’t mean it can’t be reduced significantly

I think it’s more of an extension of the teenager fetish. School uniforms are something only school-aged children and teens wear regularly, so it’s become a trait associated with them.

There’s also some scenarios that are less problematic (at least imo). Some people have a general uniform fetish (cops, nurses, etc). And sometimes couples that want to roleplay themselves as students.

That being said, yeah there’s definitely some creepy fucks that can’t stop staring at teenagers. But I don’t think getting rid of student uniforms would put a noticable dent in it. That ship has already sailed. Keep in mind that french-style maid dresses aren’t really a thing anymire, and people still fetishize that. I doubt the school uniform fetish will go away even if every school in the world did away with them

and it being accepted by the others

You can change policy, but it’s extremely hard to change people. Burying your head in the sand and pouting that people should be the ones to change is going to achieve nothing.
