I think it’s more ownership and permission than money (although unfortunately they often overlap). You’re allowed to paint your own house, but not somebody else’s unless you have permission to do so.

Yes! My thoughts exactly. Sometimes less is more

Could they not just create separate companies to get around this?

I used this one

Interesting. Found a calculator and according to this I’m “very lean” (only just) while I’m overweight (again, only just) using BMI.

Judging by the belly fat I can pinch, I’m gonna trust the BMI

This is something I think about from time to time and essentially get nowhere.

I try and live-capture and release bugs from my house (the only things I actively kill in this regard is mosquitos).I also hunt/fish.

If I saw a deer trapped on a frozen lake I’d go out and rescue it, yet I’d shoot that same deer in a different place under a different context. It’s not really consistent, except in intentionality I suppose.

I do place a higher value on the life of animals that are more “intelligent” (in a way that feels more human) compared to other animals. For example, I’m not upset at all when I use hand sanitizer and presumably wipe out a whole swath of life, but I’m sad if a bird hits a window and dies. Part of that is the intentionality again maybe? The bacteria “had” to die, and the bird didn’t; I’d feel less bad about the bird if I saw a natural predator take it down but it’s still more upsetting than even unintentionally killing an insect.

Yes, these are great for that age!

Yes, it wasn’t until the third panel did I notice the arms of the chair and suddenly the person was bald

I already do. I also want to pay my way.

The problem is what I’d like doesn’t exist (I’m not going to subscribe you a million different websites and still not even be ad free) and probably can’t. How much do all the ads I’m blocking cost? It’d be ripe for abuse but I’d essentially like a taxi meter, but it would charge me for website use from just one central account that I top up or is part of my internet bill or whatever.

I want the whole business model of using ads and tracking to pay for the internet to not exist.

Yes I’m also the same way with ads. I’d happily spend more for internet if there was somehow an “ad surcharge” that would mean I’d never see ads or be tracked. Let me pay whatever the advertisers pay.

Poor guy with the spray paint realizing it was supposed to be a 6

But you’re both doing a conversion in this case also? You’re both mentally converting the UTC time into your local idea of what part of the day that is.

With time zones you don’t do that mental conversion because that part is the same, you do a different conversion for the offset.

There’s a conversion with either system.

Plus you lose all of the cross-cultural understanding that’s currently built into the time. The concept of what the number on the clock is and how that relates to the actual time of day has dozens if not hundreds of tiny bits of additional understanding baked into it depending on the situation.

In order to communicate these ideas, people would start referring to their local offset instead of the UTC and then we’re just back at time zones again.

Find any decent sized packages? Here it seems they individually wrap them in plastic trays with like 5g servings it’s ridiculous. No, I’m not just going to have 5g! Give me more
