I miss Yahoo Messenger, with all the chatrooms. Those were pretty steamy at times.

What sources does Google use for this? Because, if it's web crawling, of course they aren't going to show up.

That's actually all true too. There's a webring and gopher revival. Along with a modern luddite movement sweeping college campuses.

 

I'm seeing Britney, Bill Nye, and Boy Meets World. . . Everywhere!

There are natural laws. Lookup Game Theory.

Let's say you're a tree. Trees have evolved to share resources. Why? Because if a tree sucks up all its local resources, and kills it's competition, it can no longer reproduce. It may kill every single one of its neighbors, but when it needs to reproduce, who is it doing it with?

Nature punishes greed, and a lot more negative behaviors, in the long term.

That tree survives in the short term by killing off its competition. But long-term, it never makes it. It never has offspring.

All of these things that our moral frameworks praise and reward, they seem to come from nature/an external source. Diligence, cooperation, responsibility, forgiveness, etc.

Considering everyone is in their own echo chamber, I'd say it's pretty easy to miss things.

The question is: How does one fix obesity?

Companies sneak more calories into their foods to make up for the lack of nutrients, like protein and fiber. Thus, increasing the weight of the populous. There's no fixing it really. Obese people will eventually die off, and those left will be, from our own history, smaller in height and girth.

Lila still exists, whether I think of her or not.

I went to the ER with heart problems in the US. Waited 12 hours in a mostly empty waiting room.

I remember when they wanted to unify mobile phones and desktop computers, with a singular online storage account and DE that changed when you plugged your phone into a monitor. That shit was crazy.

 

Beginning August 7, Dunkin'® is bringing back its fan-favorite Iced Beverage Buckets, available at participating Dunkin’ locations nationwide for a limited time, while supplies last.

Whether you’re heading to the beach, spending the day by the pool or running weekend errands, our Iced Beverage Buckets make it easy to keep the summer sips flowing. Guests can purchase a bucket filled with their favorite Dunkin' iced coffee or Refresher and share the flavors they’re craving all season long.

Looking for the perfect bucket fill? Try one of our newest beverages:

Cherry Lime Rickey Refresher: Black Cherry Refresher paired with our new limeade for a deliciously tart and refreshing beverage.
Pink Pineapple Sparkling Refresher: Bright pineapple, raspberry and hibiscus flavors mixed with sparkling water for a refreshing pink beverage.
Iced Coffee with Peanut Butter Swirl: Dunkin’ iced coffee swirled together with Peanut Butter flavor and your choice of dairy for smooth, rich sip.

But bringing your bucket along for the ride is about to get even easier.

During an initial alpha market test earlier this year, guests made one thing clear: they wanted a simpler way to take their Beverage Buckets on the go. The Dunkin’ team got to work, designing a solution while the test was still underway.

The result? The new Dunkin' Iced Beverage Bucket Holder, a custom accessory designed to hold a Beverage Bucket while fitting securely into a standard car cup holder.

 

Every food commercial, advertisement, and packaging in the US is currently protein obsessed. I just bought 3 burritos, and the most noticeable thing on the entire package is its protein content. TV commercials about waffles are advertising that they have X amount of protein per serving. The products in my jobsite's vending machine have protein all over every package.

Did America have a protein thing recently?

 

Every negative emotion I have, I'm told to go to therapy.

Negative emotions are human!

Why have we, as a society, grown to fear them?

 

I'm assuming, because survival is a fear-based modality, that prey tend to lean towards flight rather than offensive moves.

But are there prey who go searching for predators, who in response, feign injury to lure them in -- aside from humans?

 

Posting a guard on duty accomplishes nothing. Putting a guard in an isolated dedicated security room, with live cameras, means the silent alarm is always triggered.
