Yet another crime amusing enough to make me question if we need to get the court involved.

“Jews were already genocided once” Right, I forgot that gave them the right to commit one free genocide themselves.
(/s, in case that wasn’t clear)
I think with your bikes example, one of the factors is also that riding a bike is considered one of those fundamental skills in our society. You learn it early and internalize the rules of the machine. When bikes were knew, we absolutely had more tolerance for risk, so we didn’t really care that people were getting hurt learning the ropes, and now that it’s a staple we take for granted that people will be guided early on by more experienced riders. That’s just not the case for something new. There isn’t the widespread understanding of the device or any early training. It also helps that a bike is mechanical, so it’s a bit easier to predict than something electronic, and of course the difference in safety standards now vs when bikes were new. So yeah, if bikes were just becoming a thing, we probably would feel different about their level of safety.
But I agree that anyone who wouldn’t wear a helmet on one of these probably doesn’t have much to protect up there anyway or is a literal child.
Well, I’ve never particularly cared for sports, either, so this improved my opinion of exactly nobody.
You joke, but until about a year ago I thought there was something special about coffee because I’d only ever heard of or seen it come from some specialized contraption. Coffee makers, espresso machines, French press, percolators, Keurig machines, all obscuring the fact that coffee is just like tea; add hot water, you get beverage. This is the fundamental formula, everything else is just a way to do that. I felt so lied to. I only learned because I got curious about why there were so many methods and also seeing in the store what was basically a scoop shaped tea ball intended for coffee. Did you know that coffee bags exist in some places? Like tea bags, but coffee. I didn’t, until I got curious, and now I really don’t understand why all those machines exist.
Anyway, I blame never really getting into coffee (you can blame sorting by all for my presence), how many machines and methods there are, and a difference in how people seem to approach coffee vs tea for my ignorance. Generally tea seems to have more of a focus on the making and coffee on consumption, at least outside of dedicated communities.
Gotta be one of the ten thousand eventually, right?
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Venison has a similar linguistic history, originally being any wild game meat before narrowing to be specifically that of deer. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they did it in lock step. It would make sense, anyway.
Thank you for indirectly leading me to discover the book title “The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England”. Even if I never work my way to finding out anything further about this corner of literature, that title certainly tickled me.
I needed this today. Thanks.
The store I work at had a really good house brand flavour called espresso almond fudge. When the packaging changed, the name did too, and it’s never been on as good a sale again due to a lower price set also being introduced, so I don’t know if it’s the same anymore, but I loved it. It was similar to the Chapman’s cappuccino, but with chocolate covered almonds mixed in. God I hope for a good sale again.
The boards she steals are real boards, I’m sure.
I mean, he is wrong about there not being things in place to protect prisoners, but he’s not wrong that it’s still dangerous and the conditions aren’t great. Guards have killed inmates before with no real consequences.
