Magic: the Gathering.

It churns out a ton of unique settings and ideas for worlds.

I didn’t, but it comes off as preachy for a question asked in a community called “No Stupid Questions”. A dumb question was asked about AI and the response was “actually, these are the things we need to be worried about because I’m very smart to worry about it”.

Yep. That’s a lot of words to try to seem superior to other people. Did you use ChatGPT to help you write it?

I know The Simpsons sends the grunt work to East Asia, but I thought that South Park is so simple that a US team can bang out production with the writing staff within a week.

Probably not, but it doesn’t have the issues that Reddit has regarding moderation. Facebook communities are a lot more isolated than Reddit’s are and are generally filled with older people going to the groups for more targeted reasons.

You’re probably now experiencing a thing of Facebook that makes it really valuable to others.

It has gone to shit.

In some cases like McDonald’s, the ingredients have been on par while the cooking quality has tanked.

For a lot of other places, both the cooking and ingredient quality tanked.

Taco Bell is probably one of the few major chains I still eat at because their ingredients are hard to fuck up cooking and putting it together isn’t that difficult.

I’m not a native German speaker, but I figure I should add some bit of context.

Acting on stage is far different than acting on a camera. Facial expressions are exaggerated. The body is used more to communicate emotion. Speech is louder and more exaggerated. Most stage actors have to be told to tone down their acting when switching to film or TV because you can see more acting on a screen than in person.

Hitler gives his performances as a stage performer, but we are watching his performances on film in close-up.

I find it interesting compared to the USA.

The USA has migration from richer parts of the country to select poorer parts because the lower cost of living makes up for the lower wages. There are also states that built themselves in part on the back of being a low cost of living place to retire.

Why isn’t Europe there yet?

It is common amongst cloned software projects to completely rename a lot of the original software’s terminology.

Amazon has been trying to make sure it can be on all streaming devices as it provides the back end to a lot of other pay streaming channels. FreeVee was probably their Trojan horse to get people Amazon accounts and a service that low end streaming devices would need to serve.

It works with things you are required to have as well.

Insurance is a varied field from legal minimum insurance to something that will actually protect your family. Since it is so varied, advertising helps being people in. I know there are a couple of car insurance companies that don’t advertise, but they are also very picky on who can get their insurance.

Part of it is cultural while another part is economic.

Culturally, Canada was part of the British Empire well into the 20th century. This meant that having relations with Canada was having relations with the British Empire. Outside of the War of 1812, the British Empire typically negotiated with the USA with respect that the USA could project at least the same kind of land power in the Americas as the British Empire could.

Culturally, Mexico was a successor nation to the Spanish Empire. Mexico didn’t have the level of protection that Canada did nor did it have similar government institutions as the USA had. There was also a difference in approach to colonization between the two nations; the USA engaged in settler colonialism using white Europeans while Mexico had a large indigenous population incorporated into Mexican society.

Economically, Canada has a per capita national wealth on par with the USA while Mexico has lagged behind. This has led to a lot of migration from Mexico to the USA and Mexico being used as a low cost labor source.

A lot of multiparty civil wars have different sides with mutually exclusive goals.

If you want to talk about boardgames, there are games like Root where different factions have their own separate rules that conflict with allowing multiple people being able to win.

If you make your way to San Antonio, remember the Alamo.

If you want to outdo Walmart, there is also Buc-ee’s.

I agree that the beef likely isn’t halal, but pork definitely won’t be halal.

Choosing to eat non-halal meat in a part of the world where Islam isn’t a significant minority and options for halal meat are limited is a personal decision. Halal options for food may be available in Houston, but they are likely going to be rare.

I’ve dined with Muslims who are ok with eating at non-halal establishments but will not eat pork at all since eating pork is obviously haram.

Texas barbeque is beef based on the count of all that cattle.

Luckily for you, barbeque in Texas is beef based. So I’d recommend eating some good barbeque.

I feel like those who end up in your position end up one of two ways.

You know that you don’t have a safety net, so you don’t spend money more than you need to. Also, since it sounds like you support your family significantly, a lot of money that would go to vacations instead goes to them.

For others, money was an on/off switch; you either have it or you don’t. These kinds of people will spend at or above their means because they can and there aren’t any hard limits due to a lot of credit options.
