If you want your chicken extra crispy, it takes longer.

I mean, it is the logo

I'm a waitress. It never hurts to say it's your birthday or better yet, anniversary. Birthdays get free dessert most places but anniversaries get free bubbles. It costs me nothing to give it to you.

Just make sure to tip on the pre-discount amount and it's all good.

Except that they don't have the necessary plumbing infrastructure to make that feasible. It'd be better and possibly cheaper to tear down entirely and build something actually designed for living.

Well, yeah. Conservatism is, at its heart, aversion to loss, to risk, to change.

Why does a chicken coop have two doors?

If it had four doors it'd be a chicken sedan.

Relating to relationships: You can say 'no' to anything, but you can't say 'no' to everything.

Not all knowledge is based on faith. The flaw in this chain comes early on.

Look, I'm a Stoic, I know that my senses and the inputs they give me are flawed and those flaws are out of my control. I know that my mind is flawed and those flaws are out of my control. I also know that they're the only tools I have to perceive the world and I have to do my best with them.

BUT.

Confidence intervals are a thing. It's not a binary between the poles of "I know for certain" and "I don't know at all". We can say, "I am confident, based on multiple observations by myself and the reported observations of others, that the sun will rise tomorrow, water boils at the same temperature adjusting for altitude, and the traits of the parents and grandparents can predict the traits of the offspring via Punnett squares."

The virtue of the scientific method is that the experiments must be repeatable. We don't have to take it on faith. We can repeat variations of the experiment to raise or lower our confidence to acceptable levels.

So don't shop there! They'll do the bare minimum that still brings people in; the only remedy is to show them they'll lose customers.

Since you're already familiar with lemmy, I'll just highlight how Kbin diverges:

• downvotes are publicly visible

• there's a double-upvote called "boost" that also acts as a retweet

• it interacts with Mastodon instances natively as well as lemmy ones

• munis are called "magazines" and located at /m/ instead of /c/, which csn break some links which would be instance-neutral on lemmy

• there's only a web interface, AFAIK, no mobile apps

• active development by one sole individual who's very involved

• blocking whole instances is enabled at the user level

And additionally you can do everything you can on lemmy, including self-host an instance.

Yes, when I was completely wrong and someone else corrected me in a reply. It's happened a handful of times. I don't like to delete comments.

This isn't a stereotype, it's a well-documented sociological phenomenon. Women typically do the majority of unpaid / organizational labor in a household, even when they work full-time outside the home. And part of why this is such a problem is that this work is often not witnessed or acknowledged by their partners, or even dismissed as "unimportant".
