Stop subsidizing corn. A crazy amount of US crops just get turned into animal feed or ethanol.

Then they would all drive diesel trucks with modified exhaust and floor it between stop signs

Women are in a room in my house so I'm going back in a bit to see how much it will take for a few months and then I'll get back in town and see what I think about the new job I guess they have to do that to the same place and the one I can get in it and I can do that for the other people but they have a new job that is not enough for them anymore to do that to the people who have a new one and the other one will help me out and they will have a job at the moment I think it is not the way it will help it and they don't know how they don't care to get them in their way of it and they don't have to do anything but it is not enough for it but they don't have to do anything else but it will help it to help themselves to know them to get them in it but they don't have to know what it matters but they don't have to know it to know it

DEI isn't just a dog whistle for racism, it's also sexism.

I'm pretty sure it applies when you're around men who are not immediate family.

There's also "air fry", which is just an aggressive convection oven

"Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?" Season 5 New Key Visual in c/anime@ani.social

[–] altec@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

I didn't like Season 1 as much, I think because the story was scattered around introducing so many characters. I also agree that ecchi is a turn-off for me, but I liked the concept, characters, and production value enough to stick with it.

I think the strength of the 3rd season onwards is that it relies more on the established cast, rather than introducing a ton of new characters all the time.
