For a while, I thought kissing was how women got pregnant.

It MIGHT have had something to do with getting a half sibling in spite of my father saying he hadn't had sex with the mother. Religion makes people weird, is it really that big a deal to admit you had sex out of wedlock, when everybody already knows you got someone pregnant?

The problem with a benevolent dictator is that they die eventually, and are replaced by a non-benevolent dictator, or a civil war, or both. Unfortunately it looks like the US democracy might have the same outcome.

I could see that having to do with the plastic bottle degrading.

I'm new here, but the straw that broke the camel's back was reddit getting rid of r/random. Also more reposts than new content. Also feels like there are more bots than people. Plenty of other anti-user stuff over the years.

I think you're forgetting the fact that the founding fathers were revolutionaries. They very obviously felt the need for the people to have the tools to depose a government if necessary. However, they did not foresee the US becoming a superpower, or the extent to which weapons technology has progressed.

If we're talking about ignoring a date printed on the package, salt. Dunno why it had a date printed on it at all.

If we're talking about something that does eventually go bad, it would be some other spice that only rarely gets used, dunno which one though.

If we're talking about something actually considered perishable, eggs.

I dunno, I think it might be a suicide.

The threat of violence is the fundamental basis of all political power. Politicians act in self-interest, and will be exactly as corrupt as the people allow them to be.

I've been using FreeCAD, it's extremely powerful, and just hit 1.0. Might be a bit harder to learn, but worth it.
