Could be indirectly inheriting the debt. They could've taken out a new/second mortgage to cover their gambling debts, for example. Sure, the kid could refuse the inheritance to avoid being stuck with that, but then they're still out a house they otherwise would've had if not for their parents debts.

How many wheelchair users have backless chairs? Like, this isn't even a good design if it WAS actually intended for them. With that back part any wheelchair user would end up sitting slightly forward from the people sitting on the actual bench seat, possibly a good 6+ inches forward if it bumps into the handles on the back.

Lmao I basically did this as a kid on the school bus.

Bus driver forgot my stop(Small school, so we were dropped off directly at our house). It wasn't until the last kid besides me was dropped off that I realized the driver wasn't just taking a weird route that day, and it wasn't until we got to the FUCKING BUS YARD that I actually popped my head over the seat and made my presence known.

To explain why I didn't say anything, I lied and pretended I had been asleep the whole time and had just woken up

It's fake, but that's not why. The package is blocking the door handle from turning, so it doesn't matter which way the door opens, trying to will jam the handle up on the package.

It's fake because this is the inside of the door, not the outside. Notice the lock for the deadbolt.

They do, in fact.

There isn't any animal that is even remotely comparable in intelligence to what we see Pokemon capable of, so it's not really fair to make that comparison.

Dolphins and Chimpanzees are widely considered the next most intelligent species after us, but they're still far below us. You can teach a Chimp basic sign language, but you still can't have a proper conversation with them, let alone come up with complex plans with them.

By comparison, Meowth is not only capable of all that, he's better at it than J&J; iirc, most of their plans that almost succeeded were his ideas. Plus he's extremely capable at subterfuge, considering he once successfully convinced Ash & Co. that he was done with Team Rocket and gained their trust, only for it to be yet another scheme. Not to mention his ability to operate highly complex machinery.

And mind you, there's zero indication that Team Rocket's Meowth is any more intelligent than any other Meowth, he's just vastly more ambitious. They very clearly show that his more human like tendencies are a conscious choice, not something inherent to him. Other Meowths could learn English, they just choose not to(and at least one thinks TR Meowth is weird for doing so).

A "mini-burger" already has a name and it isn't "mini-burger"

I assume you mean sliders. The pic clearly does not show a slider, it shows the exact same burger as on the left but smaller. Way too much going on in that thing to be a slider, mini-burger is perfectly apt.

I don't think you can answer this question for Pokemon in general, I think it would be species specific.

Meowth is clearly of human intelligence, for example. Hell, he's smarter than Jessie & James.

Then you have the extreme end, where Alakazam has an IQ of 5000. We're basically ants to them.

Not to mention pretty much every psychic pokemon in the anime can have proper conversations with humans using telepathy.

Those aren't the hardcore climate skeptics. The real crazies have gaslighted themselves into believing the current climate conditions are how things have always been.

I once had a relative refuse to believe there was blizzard during a family reunion in October only a decade or so ago. They were AT said family reunion.

I've not had too much of a problem in the .ml communities.

I thought the same until recently. Then I called Maduro(Venezuelas dictator) a dictator and oop, banned.

This is Delta-8 which has been federally legal since 2018. People are allowed to research it.

Diacetyl hasn't been used in any reputable vape juice brand in like a decade(and is banned in EU), and there's also absolutely no evidence that the juices that did contained enough to cause popcorn lung. There's a reason it's called popcorn lung, because the most likely person to get it is one who works in a popcorn factory and is exposed to industrial quantities of Diacetyl, day after day for likely 10-12 hour shifts. The difference in dosage is astronomical. If you've ever worked in a kitchen, you'll know how grease vapors in the air will absolutely coat you in a film of yuck. Imagine that same idea but instead of grease it's Diacetyl coating everyone and everything in the factory.
