Yep. Animals are also legally considered property, but at least they have some legal protection. Slaves had basically none.

Ding ding ding.
It’s not just a braindead insult, there are at least some actual antisemitic assholes in the pro-palestine group. They’re very much a minority, but they exist.

Well, the “healthy at every size” crowd gets their wish, we stop using BMI. Somehow I doubt they’re happy though

I’m not big on Voltaire quotes, but the one about believing absurdities applies here. If you life in a culture long enough, you start to internalize it.

So, when I was in college I made a specific sort of (very very niche) video or audio, for pay. That’s maybe 15-20 years ago.
It was actually pretty fun, but I never did anything in person, which probably helps. I’m (or was) not nearly as good looking as the women here, but I met the highly niche requirements and got paid pretty well.
Better than my parttime job in the library (no, that’s not the niche).

One of the women has a price of “free”. You could try copying that price.

Not enough throughput? well, that’s what upgraded belts are for. Still not enough? that’s what extra belts are for. Still not enough? see previous comment.

Also, you can totally have a lawn. It’s a great place to Do Things in your garden, and it’s better than bricks or concrete. I can’t host a bbq in between the shrubs after all.
Just, turn the bits where you don’t Do Things into some other plant than lawn grass. At the very least you don’t really need those corners.

95% is the lower limit of being fine.

Easy to state but do you have any proof of the connection?
How about the abstract of the paper, which mentions “association” three times and “cause” zero times.

Yes, but I already have all the diseases that I have. I don’t need to add all the diseases everyone else has too, or vice versa.

Ah, it’s Muslim belief that the original Quran is sacred and a work of god, but a translation is made by humans, and is thus not the truly correct version and only an interpretation.
Its not that you can’t read a version of text in another language, but it won’t be the sacred text.
- Comment on language learning 1 month ago:
Yes, but Muslims are rather particular about translated versions not reeeeaaally counting.
- Comment on language learning 1 month ago:
How readable is the Quran in modern Arabic? Or is it translated?

That’s true. That’s not what listeria though, but it does cause most of the other scary milk diseases.
