This is missing the full context, which is even better/worse

remember how instead of "global warming" we started saying "climate change" because of too many smartasses who refuse to understand averages being like "if global warming why snow in April?", "if global warming why mild summer?"

Even though it's called a State Fair they seem to want it to be more of a World's Fair vibe but like. I don't know if they're still a part of the World Expos but the World's Fairs back when the US hosted them had kitsch! They had midways! Chicago 1893 had a city of elegant white buildings, yes, but it also invented the midway as a concept. The Great American State Fair has no intentional kitsch. It has nothing to do besides one Ferris wheel.

Do you ever regret anything you have ever done? Do you stay awake late at night wondering how your life would be had you not done it?

Death by spreadsheet is an acceptable degree of separation for most in middle management. They can sleep at night without guilt for what they've done, because the system charitably setup twelve degrees of separation between their choices and the real-world harm. But do not be fooled, their choices set that harm into motion. Without their reckless disregard for human life, the harm would not be done.

These taste like an abstract concept. Summer Vacation flavored. Yankee Candle ass cookie.

This skit absolutely slaps forever but I have to tell you guys the secret.

It's also a ploy to crowd out smaller brands that can't afford a merchant's slotting fees (and an unspoken assumption that the shelf stockers will add another row of the "regular" product when the "special" flavor runs out), plus some brands offer a promotional wholesale rate for the moneymaker product only IF a merchant orders a minimum quantity of the special product along with it.

If someone's explicitly tight-lipped about why they're not talking to someone again, I don't pry. Like "I'm not talking to those people anymore and I don't want to talk about it" ok none of my business. If someone goes into explicit detail about why they cut ties with people, yeah I have no reason to question that unless some new details come up that don't add up to the rest of your story.

My least favorite things about anti- UBI discourse is always the techbros whining that "nobody is going to work anymore! People will just watch Netflix all day!" and I have 2 responses:

Field studies have been conducted in several countries now, and the result is always the same - people will just flop about for a couple of months to recover from the burnout most people who have a job live with, and then they look for something to do. Some get a job with reduced hours, and some start doing charitable stuff like volunteering in soup kitchens and teaching others to do whatever their particular skill is. They socialize more, they are happier, and on average, people will work more, not less.
