they think we are driven by the same fears as them and that these fears are universal to the human experience rather than them not confronting and processing their traumas

and that's fine. good for you. you don't have to buy a dipper if you don't feel like. i like mine because it's easier and i was tired of using the edge of the jar when a dipper costs a few cents (i think i got mine for 75 cents)

i have and that's what i'm comparing against. thank you for your unconstructive input. with the teaspoon you can't twist it to break a run before putting it in your mug and adding the hot water. so the teaspoon ends up being messier.

also what… did you think i was comparing against? my hands?

the honey that comes in the squeezable bottles is lower quality and the bottles themselves are wasteful. i'd rather pay a little extra, get honey from a beekeeper, know my local agriculture is being pollinated by a local beekeeper, and deal with a little piece of wood i have to rinse a little bit.

the convenience is distinctly not worth the degradation in all of the things i like about honey

it's the easiest tool to use to get the honey out of the jar and into your mug for tea. i got mine at the farmer's market because local honey is thicker than store honey, but even stores that sell local honey don't sell these. highly recommend one if you've never seen one. it makes making tea so much easier

me and my wife have this dynamic. i'm from southern appalachia and she cannot understand the shanendoah or allegheny accent at all. if i say something particularly idiomatic she'll ask me what i mean because our verb syntaxes carry a little extra information AND we have tonals

it reduces the risk of missing because the target bent over to pick up a quarter, or stepped to the side because they saw something interesting. the knives in question are basically swords that deploy radially from the missile body like an umbrella.

yeah which was a key in that this was who this poster meant

the knife missile is so emblematic of the entire military industrial complex. can't stop engaging in unnecessary resource wars due to unnecessary casualties. instead, the military industrial complex will develop and sell a product to allow the killing of specific people in public spaces. and the more you think about the idea of being at a produce stand and someone standing next to you turning into a fine red mist, never to exist in physical space again, the more distopian it seems.

it reminds me of the episode of star trek where they encounter a planet that has eliminated war via coordinated computer simulations and voluntary genocides.

the regulations on intensity never presumed we'd use such small arrays to produce that intesity. in the cabin, the lights projected onto the road don't seem that different from 20 years ago. but from the other way it's dazzling

my c posts in my 2020 car are so big that i frequently have no idea there's a pedestrian right in front of me about to enter a crossing. it stresses me out

their teachers told them in middle school to use times new roman. they never questioned why because they were raised to not do that ever under any circumstances
