How many courics is that?

I’m just wondering why it’s the decade’s fault for the long delay.

What am I going to do, put the $20 back in my pocket? No, that’s a dick move. I see that they’re acting like they’re in a rush. Pocketing the paper money will only slow down the transaction.

It’s a lose-lose scenario, just like the grandparent commenter suggests.

How do I know the total until I’m given it?

The store knows which items are taxed and which ones aren’t.

I get you, but cashiers are trained to be impatient and never wait for me to pull my change purse out to round it up, even if I tell them there’s more coming.

This is how it typically goes:

Cashier: Your total is $10.50. Me, handing them $20: Here, hang on to this, I’ve got some change. Cashier snatches the money, enters $20.00 in the machine and stuffs it in the drawer as I fish out the appropriate change. Me, as they are in the midst of gathering a large amount of change from the drawer: Here you go. Cashier, interrupted during their change counting, furrows their brows at me as if I just tried to pull a fast one on them.

It can’t be a quick change scheme if you haven’t given me my change yet. Just don’t be in such a rush.

Hey, at least it’s a menu option. I get my hopes up whenever I see pizza places boast their allergy accommodations, only to find out that there’s no dairy-free alternatives except “No cheese”

You know why? Too many people pretend to be gluten intolerant. Now I’m not talking about celiac disease, which actually does permanent damage to your guts if you eat gluten, and I’m assuming you’re afflicted with it, just like half my mother-in-law’s family. I’m not talking about them, I’m talking about the fad dieters.
Not enough people pretend to be lactose intolerant. The opposite, in fact; My lactose-intolerant wife pretends to be able to process lactose just because it tastes so good.

When cheese is the most expensive ingredient on a pizza, I don’t feel like I’m getting my money’s worth when I say “No cheese.”
People suffer to have cheese because it’s so good.

Apparently they’re willing to deal with crispy cardboard crust to have it.

“Tuliping”

Not sure if you’re asking rhetorically, because I’ll be damned if I know. It is the epitome of self-serving.

INB4 someone broad-brushes this to be about… ahh, fuck, I’m too late.

Jewish hell (Sheol), though, which was more of a “land of the dead” than a place of punishment (Gehenna).

Is there an echo in here?
“according to myth”^according to myth^ ^^according to myth^^

Slight correction, that’s born with/without "original sin which is best described as a condition and very different from committed sin, which one can describe as an action. Also, Jesus was born without original sin owing to the belief that he’s also fully divine.
That “holding a child responsible for the sins of their father” business stopped being a thing around Second Temple Judaism and what followed.

Another word for original sin that helps distinguish it from what people usually think of when they think of sin is concupiscence but that’s not in my vocabulary. I had to look it up because I keep forgetting the word.

And as always, none of this applies to Mormons because they’re special.

2 days later.

The phrase “On the third day” involves counting today (e.g. Good Friday) as the first day, tomorrow as the second day, and 2 days later (e.g. Easter Sunday) as the third day.

No worries, it’s a common misconception up there with whom was conceived when we speak of the immaculate conception.

Sex is uniative and procreative.

Paradise is already both those things. There would be no need for more.

Also, tell my younger self not to buy the lifetime subscription to the local BBS and just pay yearly, because this Internet thing is going to get faster and less buggy.

It more closely follows the UNIX philosophy–Do one thing, and do it well.

By asking the developers to split their focus, we would be admitting that a less secure and/or less reliable product is acceptable.

Political extremists aren’t always the best at differentiating between correlation and causation. Let’s see how this plays out.
