Those points weren't controversial, though? Enjoying eating food and wanting the requirement to eat food gone are different tracks!

... anyway, it'd be a nicer world if no one had to worry about starvation, involuntary homelessness, or preventable disease. Pretty sure that's about as "no shit" as it gets.

... though yeah, re: mask, even vaccinated I'll stop wearing one outside my house the moment the plague stops. Not before, y'know?

And the plague is like the exact opposite of stopped, right now.

I don't know if it's technically legal to name an OS in a way that directly relates to it's use. Pick some food instead ;). BTW isn't there allready sextoys named debians?
You're probably thinking of sybians, for what it's worth. Two letter different spelling, very different forms of masterbation.

See? Power of positive thinking!

Also the power of living well away from the planet's equatorial regions. Both good things!

Yeah, for what it's worth Phantasy Star 4 is generally considered one of the best early console era RPGs around, and I think the first game of the four is usually held to be the weakest of the original series. If you're playing through them and aren't put off by the old time design stuff you'll be in for a treat.

Just watch out for the flesh eating parasites if you're going a beaching!

Worst part of white hair coming in, is when you see it out of the corner of your eye and you can't tell if it's the white hair or something in your hair. You'll be sitting there batting at your hair like a fool trying to get your hair out of your hair :-\

Futuristic old jrpg makes me think one of the phantasy stars, but that's probably too obvious? If it was in a magazine that... probably means it was officially localized? That narrows it down pretty well.

why try to destroy the banana plant though?
At the time they started trying, basically the whole thing had been ripped sideways by a cat 5 hurricane. They thought it was destroyed, and were trying to clear debris. After that, it was just attempting to finish the job or whatever, plus needing to get it out the way to get at other stuff and some issues with it coming back up kinda' funny the first couple of attempts at regrowing.

They've basically given up at this point, though. Banana tree won, gg no re.

They've been trying since like 2018 to remove/move the banana tree outside our house. It's been chopped down to the ground like four times, dug up at least twice (once by a cat 5 hurricane!), things have been tried to remove that banana tree.

It hasn't worked.

None of it worked.

Not only is the banana tree back to its pre-hurricane height, it's expanded its domain and is now mostly covering up a second window.

...

... there's no harm there, it's a nice tree. Just wanted to share the banana tree story.

Seriously though, if double punch is involved we need to know if it was super effective or not. What's caz's typing, here? Is there something odd going on changing double punch's?

I mean, it's a question you could look into, but have you considered folks that have gone through a tremendously stressful educational year could have decided to spend their summer vacation months... on vacation?

My first guess for "where had summer high school and college students gone instead of work" would be "vacation". Since, like. They're in between one probably wildly stressful semester and another that's likely to only be so much better? Y'know? Take a bloody break if it's offered and you got the means.

E: There's also no telling how many have shifted to some form of telework, for that matter. Probably other stuff, too, that could be making workers in that age range less visible.

So I will refine my argument: I don't have trouble with people quitting shitty jobs - I have trouble with them quitting a shitty job and not looking for (or creating) a better one.  And no, sorry, I don't believe that "but there are no good jobs" or "all owners are greedy assholes" is true.
I mean, okay, then you largely don't have a problem. People aren't exactly entirely disconnecting with the labor market to any meaningful degree -- the vast majority of folks walking out of shit jobs are going on to either look for better work or train for a new field. They still have to eat, and most places in the world you can't exactly live well on the local safety nets... barring the people just dying, I guess. They don't eat 'cause their country decided them dying was better for the social good than not.

To the extent complete disconnection actually is something happen, they're disconnecting from the paid labor market in order to do shit like take care of family, kids, elderly, disabled, whatever. Which says more about how fucking abysmally most countries value caretakers or domestic laborers than anything about work ethic.
