I was thinking basketball

everyone spends their time fighting over the nomenclature instead of fixing the underlying problem

Well said. What you're describing reminds me of something I read long ago: essentially, auditioning for a position in an orchestra. But the person played from behind a curtain, so that the listeners/judges wouldn't have bias. Simple, effective, and you get the most talented players in your ensemble

How to implement best practices, without giving it a label that malicious ass hats can manipulate

Blinded by the light, revved up like a "douche" another runner in the night

Had no idea what they meant by that

Alarmed‽ tf you mean "alarmed", it's openly criminal. Nobody's fucking surprised by this

Special little snowflakes, the lot of them

The fire cleanses all

That was my first thought the first time I saw a full eclipse. It's just indescribably awing, ethereal... the lighting change, the mood, the animals reacting, everything. I'd have worshipped that shit too if I saw that in ancient times. I've been lucky enough to see two in my life, hoping to at least see a 3rd in my lifetime

You think they made it public, in order to scare journalists? A two-fer act of cowardice, maybe? I can't help but wonder

Hey look, its SatansMaggotyCumFart. The most decent of us all

I'm objectively one of the best at a certain skill at my work, out of several hundred people. And I still catch myself thinking people are just being nice when they say as such. Imposter syndrome just never fully goes away; but I guess it gives me motivation to try and always best myself? Idk, it's sometimes exhausting and idk why I push myself. I guess I'm not trying to just "be the best", but rather be better than my previous self? I tire my own damn self

Thanks! I was due for a booster

If people weren't buying more of them, they wouldn't've changed the size

That's what you said. If a business is already making sales and profit, why would they decrease the size? You think they were selling the candy at a loss or something, and had to slowly increase revenue?

It's the definition of "shrinkflation" and it's anti-consumerism because they aren't making it obvious that they're increasing the cost of the product

What kind of ignorant are you, that you can't wrap your head around that? Go spout your elitist, anti-intellectualism elsewhere, cause ain't nobody here buying it

And if you truly believe in what you're saying, good luck my dude, and may god have mercy on your soul
