Cats also have them. You sometimes see them in the corner of their eye, or partially covering their eyes when they’ve just woken up or are sick or something. They are sort of a translucent milky white.

It’s because they evolved in desert conditions, from what I’ve read. They can see well enough through them but it protects against sand and stuff.

It’s when you put ice cream in your hope.

This is going to cause problems for them…

Don’t republican conventions and things of that sort tend to impact Grindr pretty heavily?

Silly, you have to phrase it the way new parents do.

Legalize abortion through 129 months.

Eh, I’ve worked in a few call centers and from what I’ve seen, they just constantly hire, training groups for various contracts are frequent, and people are pulled from closed contracts to fill in when people leave or are fired from ongoing contracts. They also tend to overhire for each training group because a lot of people will quit or not be good at it.

They CHURN, and they don’t give a fuck because everyone is going to burn out or move on in short order anyway. That’s just the nature of the job. If you don’t seem like a good fit quickly they won’t keep you around. Is all metrics.

They are horrible places to work. Often referred to as “employment of last resort” by employment services people around here.

Mine too. I have a white one that’s been in full bloom for a few days now and a pink one I expect in the next week. I didn’t think there were any varieties that were that early, but I’ve got em.

Need to get some Easter ones, then they’ll bloom in December.

I’ve genuinely never understood how people can stand chocolate and fruit together. Or fruit and coffee for that matter. Chocolate and coffee taste kinda similar to me though so those mix well..

But fruit with either is just super nasty to me.

All that said, the best chocolate I’ve ever had was some imported thing that tasted vaguely of raspberry, but wasn’t actually supposed to. It was just chocolate that got stored with other candies.

What’s a paradox game? I assume that’s some sort of studio?

I wish I liked games like factorio.

I love base building stuff (rimworld is my current obsession, tho I almost like making my heavily modded game function properly more than actually playing it) but automation is just too many moving parts, and too much planing and I can’t bring myself to do any of it right.

If not for that it would probably be entirely my jam. I get downright jealous when I see some of the amazing stuff people do.

Knocking over the air tank thing every 5 minutes would be pretty distracting, imho.

You should look into how distribution works. It’s very likely that companies doing distribution, which are shockingly also mostly the major beer companies, simply decided to offer less of it or raise prices for it to push retailers and bars toward things they fully own, which is a sizable chunk of the craft beer market available in stores other than the brewery itself.

It’s all really shady nonsense collusion shit, but not really the fault of breweries. Most of them don’t benefit either.
