food has always been a huge ripoff at theaters.

Probably, most people do.

At about 22:00 he gets into what seems like is really going on here. He thinks if he plays his cards right he can influence Trump, and Trump can't handle being criticized or challenged but does respond well to praise.

The left are coming to the horrific realization arab voters dont care about gays and trans people having rights.

By G-d I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on.

If it's not the vaccine, then why are we all [referring to herself, her mother, and my uncle] getting sick all of a sudden?"

A few months ago Wellesley College (private, liberal arts, Massachusetts) posted their 2025-2026 Tuition and Cost page. It breaks down prices for services a student would engage, including tuition ($69,800), housing ($11,520), meals ($10,776), a student activity fee ($344), and health insurance ($4,051). That page then estimates prices for additional and very likely expenses incurred when living on campus for that time: books ($800), personal expenses ($1,250), and travel/transportation ($0 to $2,000). If we accept all of those figures for now, and assume the full 2K transportation figure and that a student doesnt forego medical insurance, the total is $100,541. Inside Higher Ed summed it up: Wellesley now appears to be the most expensive college in the country.

By the way, I understand anyone finding the examples of beans and rice in this topic unappealing

No jail time is really wild for an attack that happened in broad daylight on camera.

Its just a lot harder than people think tbh. Unhealthy food is usually cheaper, tastier and more accessible than healthy food. And it doesnt help that high fructose corn syrup is in every damn thing.

If the government actually cared about our health banning that shit cold turkey would do more then anything in said regard.

I'll admit to being guilty of this one. 'I had chicken yesterday, I can't have it again today, that's ridiculous' is the basis of my meal planning.

Just the idea of making some giant concoction of brown rice and beans, and eating it for the whole week, is sapping my will to live.

If you admit that you don't want to spend the time to cook, fair enough, but healthy meals consisting of beans, brown rice, and veggies are not more expensive than junk food.

Meat seems more expensive upfront but you are getting more satiety and nutrition for the money than junk food that can appear to be cheaper but won't keep you full as long.

I'm only on book 3 but so far there's no love interest or sign of a harem. The most prominent female character is a cat.

We can change those better than you'd think, especially for people who are not born yet

You should look at natural products and how much money they make as alternative to medicine. They make more than pharma last I checked.

I believe there could be "cures" for a lot of things, but it's more profitable to peddle people overpriced drugs for the rest of their lives

This

and worse. Like a major new breakthrough being purchased and purposely buried until it can be broken down into still semi-functioning components.

Which can then be sold as a prescription (subscription) to help suppress symptoms instead of ever effectively treating the underlying condition.

I guess there might be a circumstance in which it would make sense. Like maybe if the entry were just "The." You'd almost always ignore it and alphabetize as if it weren't there though.

Per Syndicate rules, subsection 543 of the Precious Elemental Reserves Code, having failed to file a proper appeal for mineral and elemental rights within 50 Solars of first contact, your planet has been successfully seized and is currently being mined of all requested elemental deposits by the assigned planetary regent.

Per Syndicate rules, subsection 543 of the Precious Elemental Reserves Code, having failed to file a proper appeal for mineral and elemental rights within 50 Solars of first contact, your planet has been successfully seized and is currently being mined of all requested elemental deposits by the assigned planetary regent. Every interior of your world has been crushed and all raw materialsorganic and inanimateare in the process of being mined for the requested elements. Per the Mined Material Reclamation act along with subsection 35 of the Indigenous Planetary Species Protection Act, any surviving humans will be given the opportunity to reclaim their lost matter. The Borant Corporation, having been assigned regency over this solar system, is allowed to choose the manner of this reclamation, and they have chosen option 3, also known as the 18-Level World Dungeon. The Borant Corporation retains all rights to broadcast, exploit, and otherwise control all aspects of the World Dungeon and will remain in control as long as they adhere to Syndicate regulations regarding world resource reclamation. Upon successful completion of level 18 of the World Dungeon, regency of this planet will revert to the successor. A Syndicate neutral observer AImyselfhas been created and dispatched to this planet to supervise the creation of the World Dungeon and to ensure all the rules and regulations are properly followed. Please pay careful attention to the following information as it will not be repeated.

Per the Indigenous Planetary Species Protection Act, all remaining materialsestimated to be 99.999999% of the sifted matteris currently being repurposed for the subterranean World Dungeon. The first level of this dungeon will open approximately 18 seconds after the end of this announcement. The first-level entrances will be open for exactly one human hour and one hour only. Once the entrances are closed, you may no longer enter. If you enter, you may not leave until you have either completed all 18 levels of the World Dungeon or if you meet certain other requirements. If you choose not to enter the World Dungeon, you will have to sustain yourself upon the surface of your planet, and this may be the last communication you receive during your lifetime

Crawlers who choose to enter the World Dungeon must find a staircase and descend to the next level down before the allotted time is up for that level. Once the time has passed, the level will be reclaimed and all remaining matter in the level, organic and inanimate, will be forfeit. Generated loot and other matter that is not gathered and claimed may be placed in the Syndicate market. Each lower level will have a longer period of reclamation. Additional rules come into play once any crawlers descend to the tenth floor. These rules will be explained when and if any crawlers reach this level. If you so choose to enter the World Dungeon, it is highly recommended you immediately find and utilize a tutorial guild. Multiple tutorial guilds will be seeded throughout the dungeon on levels 1 through 3. If you have any additional questions, or you wish to file an appeal, such requests must be submitted in writing directly to the closest Syndicate office. Thank you for being a part of the Syndicate. Have a great day.
