The public acceptance of gambling. It's fucking everywhere. Even things that seem relatively innocuous on the surface, like trading cards or blind boxes, are less about the fun of collecting and more about the rush of ripping through multiple packs or boxes to focus on the resell value.

I never imagined a world where we can easily bet on natural disasters and cancer on a whim. Please fire me into the sun.

Back in the day, TheSpark.com used to be unhinged and a lot of fun. The Stinky Meat Project was so stupid, but so dedicated, that I couldn't help following along. And the quizzes were a great way to abuse poorly supervised time with computers at school, too!

It sucks getting old, but I'm grateful for the time we got online before it became all this.

I have, and I can see what you're saying. But intelligent people who understand how the bills get paid figure out a balance.

I'm curious why speaking the language is so important as to take these kinds of measures.

So, in order to protect culture you can't share it? Seems silly.

Is it inconvenient? Yes. Is it really that difficult, especially today with smart phones, to provide basic service at a restaurant? Absolutely not.

I spent my early life in the service industry, and I've served people who spoke zero English more times than I can count. Even before translation apps and services were so common, it truly wasn't difficult enough that I'd feel comfortable as a human denying them service. We all worked together to get through it, and they enjoyed their experience from what I could tell.

I've also been on the other end and visited restaurants where our server didn't speak English. We had a great time every time. It truly isn't the big deal you're making it, so it feels like you're looking for reasons to excuse what we can plainly see is racism.

Same! Especially forearms and chest... Yum!

If my guy prefers to keep things short for personal preference reasons of course I'd never ask him to grow it longer for me. I think it's important for guys that don't want to shave to know that there are lots of us out there that find body hair super sexy!

I don't think you know what you're talking about. Simply not eating isn't a healthy way to lose weight. Just eating a smaller quantity of food that already isn't nutritionally dense in the first place can also lead to a variety of issues and deficiencies.

The weight gain associated with eating cheap, hyper processed foods is only the most visible consequence. Most obese people actually suffer from malnutrition. Eating isn't as simple as calories in and out, so simply advising people to eat less is not only ignorant, but it can also be dangerous. Not to mention you sound like you're not being very empathetic to the person you decided to argue with.

I come from a dairy farming family. We currently still have four small operations. While I would agree that beef cattle are ideal for steaks and other luxury cuts, most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between dairy versus beef breeds in your average ground beef or sausage preparation.

We eat most of the cattle from our farms ourselves, so I have had plenty of experience consuming dairy cattle meat. The flavor of the beef from our cows is better than what I can typically find at my local grocery store, because our animals hang out in the pasture all day eating grass. The muscular structure is far smaller and there's less marbling, but the beefy flavor itself is great.

What's wrong with dairy cow meat?

It may be worth giving the new Little Mermaid a shot. Visually it was very beautiful, and I appreciated the small storyline differences between them. It was enough of a difference for me to find it entertaining, since it wasn't just a live shot-for-shot remake.
