  • I’m curious what it means to own an island like that. What happens if someone approaches? There seems to me to be a lot of fun to be had with that if you got a big enough group together. Do you think there are guards for the island? Maybe making miserable the lives of people who enforce the will of billionaires is a fun next step in the step-on-the-peons game the elite like to play.



  • I’d peg that as a bigger reason for failing then. That was the true selling point of starbucks. You buy an overpriced coffee/sugarsnotmix and then use it as a meeting joint or workspace for an hour or two. I hated the trend of just-out-of-college colleagues suggesting (and getting) starbucks as a meeting location. No, I don’t want to bring my laptop to starbucks and sit around a table talking about our work for an hour or two. I have to shut down at the office, drive or get a ride to the shitjoint, re-set up everything again, and then try to keep my voice low enough to not annoy others in the place and high enough to be heard over everything going on… grumble grumble.

    Maybe the next step is cutting out some more dairy somehow

    The only things stopping me are cheese and various chocolates. I’m so sorry, you fucking asshole twits, but no matter how lovely watery oat porridge or thin almond paste can be (and their cute tensiony surfaces can be so delighting) in all sorts of intriguing and cute recipes that dance on your tongue as they nearly force (with kindness) your mouth into a smile with soft harp music in the background, hot chocolate that doesn’t suck your stomach out your asshole with those horrible oil adjacent bitch baths isn’t possible. Oh! But to softly stir the oat syrup into the flour and delicately knead it with fingers… what joy!


  • Because we’re never going to have worldwide open borders. Humanity is going to off itself before then.

    ALSO BECAUSE we’re specifically talking about abolishing ice here, so… seems like a united states centered conversation. I’d put money on the united states having open borders before either china or the eu.

    Yeah, I think when I had a mole that turned out to be cancer, it was still a 6 months wait to see a dermatologist because there are so many people wanting to see them (and many of those are for cosmetic shit, grumble grumble). Luckily it didn’t metastasize while I was waiting. Fucking us healthcare is a joke.
