Isn’t that essentially the story of Coca-cola. Early in their history they didn’t think bottling would be successful, so they signed a perpetual contract to sell the bottlers syrup at a fixed price. Then when bottled coke became popular, the only way for coke to profit was on volume, so they launched a massive advertising campaign advertising the drink price of 5 cents.

Decades later, coke ads are classic Americana and it’s popularity is one reason these drugs are needed.

That’s when they turn the farm into a themed hotel that is only open during select holidays.

Pennsylvania over a decade ago. Somehow I had managed to get on the wrong side of the freeway and when i realized (very little directional signage and no GPS), I took the next exit to find there was no corresponding on-ramp to get back on the otherside.

After some wandering I found a gas station, bought a map, and took side streets until I could get back on the main road.

My pet conspiracy theory that California does not exist. It was invented by democrats to pad their electoral votes. Any one who has traveled there actually went to a staged area in Oregon. Anyone who claims to live there is either brainwashed or in on it. Maps, globes, etc. have all been altered. Satellites have special software that adds California to its images. Spacecraft windows are actually screens that digitally alter earth to add California.

Once you consider that California is allegedly the location of Hollywood and movies often create convincing, fake worlds, it makes sense. Hollywood was created to take advantage of the tech developed to fake California and continue funding the conspiracy…

Holy Christ!

I stopped going to five guys three years ago when a burger, fries, and a drink hit over $20. I’m not sure the local place was ever under $10.

There is always money in the…

Seems like if they really cared about emergencies they would require car radios to support the actual weather band frequencies as well.

Looking at the debt.com article they include past surveys. A similar question in 2018 has around 35% hitting a credit limit.

So lead, plastic, and PFAS are fine but fluoride is where they draw the line…?

Many would leave lemmy entirely. Either because they barely used lemmy anyway or the communities they were most invested in were lost.

Some would fragment across multiple instances, especially if the communities do so.

The bulk would probably move together to a single instance “annointed” as the new default.

If the NCAA really cared about fairness they would do something about the suspect and wildly inconsistent officiating.

Anxiety (especially now that planes are oversold and standby passengers are nearby waiting to grab empty seats…), the need for overhead bin space, not wanting to have to climb over people, illogical impatience, etc.

If “God created man and woman as biologically different” then who created all the different intersex people? Even if you ignore or dismiss trans people, there are other people whose sexual characteristics at birth were not so easily sorted into male or female, and others whose physical traits either don’t align with the basic understanding of “sex” chromosomes or whose chromosomes are different than XX and XY.

Logically, if God exists, then either their statement is wrong and He does make people whose gender is indeterminate, or there is another god who is also making people. Or perhaps He is not that involved in the process, and “God’s Plan” is more of a loose framework.

Hmm. Does God know the largest prime? Does God know the last digit of pi?
