@nosilverv Nobody has seen you and Wagner Moura in the same room at the same time. Suspicious.

@PaxElectronica @sivori @MorlockP Oral/visual. If you don’t post, you don’t exist.

Jared McCain has the most simple jumpshot. Perfect for catch and shoot.

How can the country’s primary choice of fitness for the youth be GMO juicy chicken construction?

What does it mean when the way a majority of people decide to use their body is to please the eye of other people?

@BonesawMD It’s really fine. Some pills are so tough to swallow that you really need a gun to your head to do so. So let the gun come when it does.

Drake directly dissing Lebron is just unbelievable.

You can only eat so many pre packaged meals before you must seriously ask yourself if you are a dog.

@sympatheticopp Barring that you are the star player, if your parents don't go to your games you will be marginalized.

@Thebitcoinbarb1 @MyLatinLife Having a good accent will keep you in good graces but inevitably as a learner you’ll say some sh*t that is simply unnatural. That’s what happens when you learn from the book and come up with stuff by yourself. Ultimately I think u need an in-house native to clean you up for good.

@NikHuno Abundance drowns. Constraint maintains alignment with the limitations of our being. It keeps the senses sharp and doesn’t overwhelm us, allowing us to yield an appropriate sized reward that reflects what we are made of.

@RedheronSoulm @BowTiedPassport Yes but not just that. Just too much US influence. I don't want to feel like I'm walking around in the US but in Spanish. That's why I'm def not going to Monterrey, especially since I'm already from Texas.

@owenbroadcast Modern technology as a coordination/standardizing mechanism is the opposing pole of the whimsy/chaos that the world has to offer us. https://t.co/MB5hEJMrOM

For the longest time I have struggled to understand why Spanish and Portuguese came to be different languages. I think I know now. The issue is that I was trying to retrofit my current standard of distance/how far something is onto a time before the internal combustion engine. I have the modern convenience to be able to have a birds-eye view of Spain and Portugal on a map and have them appear "right next to each other". In reality, these entities were far from each other by the standard of transportation of those days (foot or horse). Pictured below, Madrid and Lisbon are about 380 mi from each other by car. That's about a 6-7 hour drive. But in pre-car times, walking 380 miles would take 15 days...assuming you're walking 20 miles a day. Need I say more? People from these areas were simply not interacting with each other on any meaningful type of scale. Moral of the story: In many ways we are prisoners of our modern POV when we try to assess the past.

I found myself back at this thread and I now agree. It’s about using the high price to discern whether they actually need the item (prevent hoarding). But what it really says is that you don’t trust the populace to be rational about assessing what their actual needs are. So you put a (price) gun to their head lol.
