Where I live, the libraries have regular sales, but then also the whole library system together will have semiannual book sales at the civic center. Everything is cheap to begin with but then on the last day, you can fill a box for $10 or $20—and the box can be as big as you like, as long as you can get it out of the building. They really need to get rid of the books. You should check with your library and see how they get rid of their culled books.

Yup but they aren’t profitable so we can’t have them

Unfortunately that’s not an option for most people living in the US

Yeah, I’ve heard people have to resort to some crazy stuff once porn stops working for them

Looks like Brer Rabbit really hates beans you guys

Right? The question mark in the post caption implies a mystery. Which is itself a mystery.

However, in reading the comments for clues to the caption, I misinterpreted your feet comment as an attempt to justify how this driver could possibly have profited from only fans. “I can’t possibly operate on this patient he’s my son” vibes. But now I don’t think that’s what you meant, you were maybe just drily reminding everyone that there are also feet.

That watermark needs font help…looks too much like Captain Kink

OHHH, is that why this is mysterious? Because people are assuming truck = dude? Which it certainly could be…but seems less likely

Upon closer reading, I think the key was imagining what you’d do with a future partner. No one imagines how much nothing they’re really gonna do nowhere

They Live

With media and the public discourse in the state they’re in today, this would surely be impossible to enforce. Every viewpoint can be argued to have infinite counter viewpoints and people treat it like a sport. Maybe the people of 1949 were naive enough to reckon there were two sides to every argument, but implementing this today would be akin to outlawing any kind of controversial statement or discussion in the media. Perhaps the end of politics as we kn…

A few small commercial gyms have implemented this, as well as the gym at Brown University. Brown estimates that the power generated by its 50 machines is about comparable to what’s generated by the solar panels on the roof of the gym. So it’s not nothing, but gyms tend to be cavernous and expensive to run, so it’s a drop in the bucket, unfortunately.

More unfortunate still is that the takeaway is almost always, “ugh don’t bother, it’s basically nothing” and not, “wait, why are we burning so much fuel to power this room?”

We definitely underestimate the unseen value of real relationships with the people we work with. Of course, some employers aren’t interested in nurturing internal culture beyond mandating office time, which just amounts to a front row seat to the same old toxicity. So it can be a healthy thing…with a healthy company.

To be fair, the context in which they invoked the case assumed we’d all remember those details already.

Beeps don’t usually come from a speaker, no. You might find this old ELI5 about electronic sound interesting.

I wonder where this idea originates. As an American, I genuinely don’t know of any restaurant that serves any of this (although I suppose you could special order “plain” things most anywhere in the world). I can’t begin to guess what people eat in the privacy of their own kitchens, but no one I know serves themselves these foods, either. I will say I’ve heard the same lore of “deep fried butter” existing at Midwestern fairs somewhere, but again, I’ve never encountered such a thing irl.

There’s a lot of wisdom here. OP may appreciate it even more after they’ve dug themselves out, because this mindset will allow them to keep from letting it get so bad again…if they can teach it to their mom.
