I’d have to go with the money because I can’t see myself remaining blissfully unaware for very long. I’d like to, certainly, but it would require a level of isolation or willful ignoring of things to sustain. Or be literally incapable of noticing things happening around you. And I just don’t see any of that as a long term option without some sort of brain damage.
But I could use my wealth to create things, ostensibly for myself, that benefit other people. Perhaps buy land and make educational farms for the surrounding communities, complete with paid educators leading gardening and cooking classes. Perhaps build and maintain libraries of various sorts or museums or parks for the public to use freely. That’s not giving it away or donating it, because I’d still own all of it, nor is it actively spent to fix the system (unless you count a lack of third spaces as part of the system, which it is technically) but it is using it for social good, which is something I want to do which means I’d be spending it on myself, technically.
Playing as a girl irl sucks pretty hard though. At least in games being a female character doesn’t often have major implications on how much you can do and how interactions play out.. it’s just a full-on 1-1 replacement that has no bearing on anything but aesthetics.
Coin flip: heads they both die, tails you flip a second coin and if heads, both go to the player who initiated the capture, tails they go to the other player.
Acktachully, your entire digestive system is lined with taste buds! They aren’t hooked into your normal sensory awareness, so you don’t taste your own digestive juices the way you taste your mouth, but they are used for sensing things like spoiled food and spice! Those receptors can trigger ejection of material if it’s bad enough (diarrhea/vomiting, depending where in the tract it sensed bad stuff).
I care about random supermarkets. People need to eat and obtain basic necessities even if some random database with no oversight says they might be dangerous in some way that we don’t get to know about.
I’m in your boat. I don’t even change my clocks for DST anymore. It doesn’t really matter beyond a ballpark what time it is most of the time (and keeping to standard time means my animals’ schedules don’t get messed up every 6 months). If there’s an appointment or something that I need an actual time for, I have my phone with tons of alarm options so it’s fine.
I haven’t set my stove clock in ages, tho I get why it has one since I can program it to start at a certain time, but beyond that appliances shouldn’t even have always-on displays. What’s the purpose other than wasting electricity?
Haha that reminds me of one of my house rules, no begging while I’m making food or I’ll stop and you can wait, and my former cat who just loved food more than anything else was for sure my enforcement.
If the other one made so much as a peep, she’d start wailing on her to shut up.
I did something sort of similar except I only took pills once a day when I got it.
I got one of those 4x daily whole month pill case sets, because I’m very very bad at remembering to refill the damned things weekly, and want to do a ton all at once whenever my pills come in. It had an extra without a date on it to fill out the grid (32 total), so that one is used for travel, and was good for 4 days.
Now I’m taking pills twice a day so I use the first two weeks’ cases for morning and the second two weeks for evening and that’s room for 56 days, perfect time to renew the 90-day prescriptions. My travel case is now packed for 2 days, but I can just as easily grab the two extra cases to get 4
But if I ever end up needing to expand to more doses a day, and I’m not getting younger so that’s likely at some point, it’s still big enough for a month. Pre-planning, yeah!
A sandwich made of pancakes for the bread, both spread with cream cheese, with sliced hot dogs and drizzled syrup in the middle, then microwaved until the cream cheese juuuust starts to liquify.
It always pisses me off when I hear about draining of wetlands for development..
There are rules here that say you need to replace wetlands you destroy, but of course they never recreate what they took away. Those wetlands are WHAT they are and WHERE they are for a fucking reason. You can’t just move them and expect them to function the same way, but beyond that, they typically replace the active and stable wetlands with shitty stuff like swamps that are only replacements on paper. Swamps exist where they do because they work there. They do not exist elsewhere because they do not work there. And swamps are no substitute for marshes and floodplains and creeks and stuff. They just aren’t.
I have chickens, and whether or not I like the taste and smell of eggs is wildly dependent upon the eggs and preparation.
I worked at a chicken hatchery in high school and was traumatized by what we called “poppers”, which are eggs that rot inside with the shell fully intact, wherein any contact with the shell causes it to explode. It took me over a decade to eat eggs again. And I still won’t eat anything like quiche, omelets, or even just plain scrambled eggs. I find them gross for whatever reason.
But a sunny side up or an egg salad or something? French toast? Egg bread? Breakfast bagel bombs? Sure.
No it doesn’t. It just locks the screen and requires passcode. It’s the same thing that happens if you hold power and volume to bring up the emergency call or power off screen.
