I don’t think it could ever add up to a significant amount without the whole planet doing so. Not using the services today sends a measurable number of people who are behind the strike, instead of just most likely making it a very successful day numbers-wise.

Really enjoyed Joker. Didn’t have any desire for a sequel. I feel like this was kinda destined to fail.

I didn’t know they had an Air Force

For the comedic value, have you tried He Who Fight With Monsters? It’s my most reread series by far, and is what I always give people after Carl.

Cradle is the other big one. The first half of book one is a bit of a hump for me, similar to reading Kal’s perspective in Way of Kings, but it picks up fast. The audiobook is magical; just about anything read by Travis Baldree is worth the time.

Dungeon Crawler Carl reference with a Way of Kings username? I’ve found my people.

Accepting that’s is ok to sometimes eat a frozen meal has been absolutely instrumental in helping me reduce eating out.

I got caught in the trap of perfect, trying to make tasty, healthy, low-cost meals, and then giving up when I couldn’t just do that every day with no experience.

It’s actually really important to keep your lawnmower blades sharp. Makes the whole process much easier, and the engine won’t have to work as hard.

It works by encouraging union and co-ops, actually punishing companies that break laws, and providing social safety nets. Basically everything this comic points out.

From literally the first paragraph stating it’s still there.

The original motto was retained in Google’s code of conduct, now a subsidiary of Alphabet. Between April 21st and May 4th of 2018, the motto was removed from the code of conduct’s preface and retained in its last sentence.[9]

Props to teenagers getting out there and making things, but I’m skeptical of fact checking with the same technology responsible for making up half its output.

Honestly forgot about chai. And I think people took my original comment a little too seriously, lol. Nothing at all against putting milk in your drinks or not. I’m just jealous because my lactose free milk costs twice the price.

If you have to add milk to it to enjoy it, then you like drinking milk. This brought to you by the lactose intolerant gang.

But in reality I actually love a good jasmine green tea, nothing added. Black is fine with some sugar.

I want to know who had the corkscrew.

Szeth-son-son-Vallano, truthless of Shinovar, wore white on the day he was to kill a king.

Isn’t that just how sponsorships work? Most every major stadium is named after some company or another, because they paid for it.

Wanted to not do my actual job for a few minutes, so I had time to read some Wikipedia pages, haha.

Also, Seattle should be a reference to Microsoft. It seems IBM and Microsoft started an operating system collaboration in 1985, but somebody more knowledgeable is going to have to weigh in.

Isekai is a popular genre of manga and anime involving a character being reborn in another world, or more recently as some weird item or monster. Often this is initiated by the character dying. (See “truck-kun”).

In this scenario, after incorrectly pronouncing ASCII, the American character encoding standard, as isekai, the speaker is hit by an IBM truck (a company famous for its early advances in computing, among other things), and is reborn around the time they had market dominance in personal computers.

I don’t think IBM had much of anything to do with the creation or popularization of the ASCII standard, but memes can’t all be perfectly accurate.

Hope this helps!

This 100% My experience only mattered because I was able to really involve myself and had a great relationship with my instructor, and still do, actually. There were people who failed out, so my specific program isn’t something I’d classify as a degree mill, but I 100% could’ve coasted through and retained nothing.
