Not having to formulate all those packages with their arcane coverage percentages, exclusions and deductibles would eliminate a lot of cost, not to mention all the marketing the companies do to make their plans sound better than the others.
So no worries then lol, cuz he won’t.
LOL put a ginormous bowl on your porch with a sign in it that says RING BELL FOR CANDY
I KNEW IT!!! This explains why you never see his reflection in a mirror!
Yes. I also don’t yell at them to get off my lawn.
I’m pretty sure they do it to pad out the content so 87 ads will fit, but the scrape theory’s cute too.
Solidifying their reputation as one of England’s loudest bands!
That could be it - many elements are familiar, although the title isn’t at all, but I have read a lot of Fredrik Pohl. The plot synopsis also doesn’t mention the characters finding out they had been married before. Maybe that’s a small detail that just stands out more in my mind.
Reminds me another story about an idyllic world where almost nobody worked and everything was provided. At one point a crew showed up to repair a house, and everybody gathered around to watch, marveling at their work clothes and tools. One guy yearned to use tools so he started making little craft items at home, and trading them to people for worthless little tiddly wink tokens they used for friendly bets on sports. Then his neighbors started doing the same thing and they got a little economy going, using the tokens as currency, until the government got wind of it and squashed the whole thing because commerce was illegal.
All the comments assume everybody else isn’t also immortal. I forget the title and author but there’s an old sci fi story (or novel?) about a future where everybody lives for centuries, and they’ve found that the brain only retains a certain amount of experience. They have long careers, get tired of doing whatever, re-educate and do something else, or even have multiple families they eventually forget about. A couple of the characters are surprised to find out they used to be married like a century earlier. To me that seems vaguely like reincarnation, and I kind of don’t hate the idea. I really don’t see any downside to that scenario, or even just going on forever.
People are focused on having regrets and negatives that last forever. But buck up li’l camper, you can learn to move on from stuff. And I say this as a dad whose daughter had cancer at age 10 (she survived). It was hell and I wouldn’t want to live through that whole period again, but I don’t consider it a reason not to want to live forever. The trick is to learn how to cope with these things and not let them outweigh the good experiences you have.

I think the practical result would be the same as any existing upvote/downvote system, because people don’t objectively evaluate content for being well researched or thought out or expressed in good faith, they upvote what they like or agree with and downvote what they don’t. They’re going to do that no matter what you tell them to do.
I thought they were all plain metal. I wonder if it was a custom paint job.
I would instead say if you don’t vote for Kamala you have your head up your ass. Some people are too stupid to actually “hate” anything, they just don’t know suicide from shinola. Sometimes you just want a good satisfying battle, so you look around for some evil to smite. But usually a good horse whippin’ doesn’t actually fix anybody.
Followed the link, the page I see does not have Personalized Shopping.
Not showing on my page either. I wonder if this is only happening in the app and not the website.

Dunno how that’s relevant but thanks - LOLOL worth the watch.
yeah voting for a candidate who doesn’t have a ghost of a chance of winning sounds like a great plan, I’ll get right on that.
