To be fair, anything that follows Gold/Silver is going to feel lackluster. Because Gold and Silver are awesome (personal favorites).

Henceforth I shall refer to the list of the 10 wealthiest people as the “Luigi List.”

You know that game show where people have to guess whether something is cake?

Satire is the new cake, and it’s more difficult to tell the difference.

That’s… optimistic. I think I know exactly how this will be applied in late-stage capitalism.

Ubuntu minus snaps plus a better DE? Mint.

Even more apparent is when you draw the parallel to birth defects, diseases, or literally any reason we affect our bodies.

Pretty much all bigots don’t realize it. There are almost no Bond villains in real life–humans can’t really exist in a state where they truly believe they’re the “bad guy.” Some people know they’re wrong, but they see themselves as a victim, not a villain.

Not only do they not recognize their bigotry, they believe themselves to be the “good guys” in this situation, with opinions on other people ranging from condescending pity to complete disregard.

If you’re genuinely curious, I can give you a glimpse into their rationality (though I strongly disagree with it).

Say, for just a brief moment, that you consider trans people to be mentally ill. Calling them by their preferred pronouns would be like giving a drink to an alcoholic–you’d be encouraging it, which would be to their detriment. And worse, you’d be liable to whatever diety might be displeased with your actions that caused someone else to continue in their sin.

The Oatmeal wrote a great info comic on this.

I generally blame the instructors when that happens. I’ve taken classes on the most menial subjects that were great because the instructor was great. Almost anything can be enjoyable to learn if you have the right teacher.

7, trying to stay away from a 6.

Yep, easiest way to solve the housing crisis is a scaling tax on property ownership and rent. The first property you own is taxed relatively low, with it scaling exponentially as you add more properties.

Honey can change consistency, depending on how it is packaged and stored. In addition, you have to consider the cost and risk of storing it. But if you think the bees are going to die off, it could be a lucrative investment.

Maybe I just don’t have the context to understand this, but it sounds like some sort of a misunderstanding. I can’t say whether you might be on the spectrum, but I’d be equally confused at the person’s response. It’s possible they misunderstood or were otherwise having a bad day. But in this case, I’d say it’s probably not you.

I think Link was frozen in the game, too
