"The best way to get high quality dental coverage is with money, and the best way to make money is by investing that money in oil & gas, so we're going to take the dental money and invest it in private oil & gas."

"And distribute the dividends to the Albertans most in need, right?"

"..."

"The money is for dentistry, right?"

"... the best way to get high quality dental coverage is with money, and the best way..."

Meanwhile the guy in the top left is just pleased as punch

To be fair, we're all really fed up with etc here. The list of bullshit is so god damn long.

Sorry, yeah, that was sarcasm. Exactly, it's 3 stars in a line that everyone would be more familiar with than the vast majority of people today.

There are loads of examples of ancient architecture that perfectly lines up with celestial events at a particular time.

Lined up with Orions Belt is that great little sprinkle of wild, flailing outrage that makes no sense whatsoever.

How could ancient people, with their better visibility of the stars and greater common understanding and reliance on their position for navigation, place things on the ground to match stars?!

But also, Orions Belt is 3 randomly bright stars in a line, not at all nearby to each other in space, that arc across the night sky every evening and change position in the night sky throughout the years. Aligned how?

I completely agree when it comes to luxury items. In fact, I fully support the luxury version industry.

When this shit applies to the standard version is where we should be drawing our ire; when the $20 bag costs $0.11 to make.

Capitalism: "Always remember we have hostages"

Remember, it's only bad when "The Media" does it.

I've been saving my waste and refuse for this very bin

I have over 500 titles in my backlog of shame (loads of freebies, but still shameful). If I play a new game every week, it'll take me 10 years to get through it.

What if some are absolute bangers and I sink 300+ hours in? I'll never be finished!

But what if none of them are? For 10 years I'd have slogged through a quagmire of mediocrity for nothing other than to tick a series of boxes.

Take a bag, fill it with water, and grip it loosely at the top so all your fingers wrap around like a loose fist.

Now, without turning the bag, use your other hand to empty it by squeezing out the water.

You get most of it out, but there's still some in there, even if you squeeze violently and it seems like nothing else can come out.

Also, for most of human history, if you've poisoned yourself ingesting something, chances are the next thing you're ingesting is still poisoned. It's only recently we've worked out distilled poison and purified water. So, biologically speaking, better to just be sick for a day so you can get to a different water/food source.

Because so much of that would put you off if you were on the receiving end.

As a human person, when a human person is on the other end, I do my best to be kind, empathetic, forgiving, and accommodating.

When some asshole wants to try and swing his dick around in an email, my instinct is "fuck that guy"
