It should be, but vampires are alluring which belies their evil. That’s the cautionary part of the fiction.

Is Bezos a soulless ghoul cannibalizing the festering, necrotic wound of poverty which he grows larger every day? Yes, and in no way can that be conflated to being sexy.

Ghoul is the only really good one in the list. Its a generic feind thats in no way cool.

Rogues and vampires are cool.

Sycophant is good when someone’s being a sycophant. But you can be independently ghoulish.

It’s probably fine to reuse it for a few days

My dude, hardly anyone uses a new towel every day. Its much more than “probably” fine. Its perfectly fine.

Is affluence the cause of germophobia because their parents convinced them frivolous luxury was actually important for staying healthy?

Don’t get me wrong, enjoy your fresh towels! That’s nice. That’s a luxury. Luxuries are nice. But don’t fool yourself into believing that you’re any healthier for not using the same towels twice.

Dog on the Road

Nice rock. Sorry your taxes are so high under there.

That’s a hard steamed egg, though…

Wow, I expected this from the US, Canada, or the UK.

I thought having clear rules for an efficient society was Germany’s whole thing.

Yeah, wouldn’t the increased surface area increase the release of gas making everything ripen faster?

And do you vote in a 2 party system where one of them is following through on threats of dehumanizing immigrants, non-white citizens, and LGBTQ?

Classic conservative math.

Tax rate is 35%? That’s basically half!

He has a trans son, who he supports

No, he objectively does not. Tolerates on a local level, sure, but not supports.

“I love you, son! I’m so proud of you for being your true self,” he yelled from outside the burning building, holding the door shut, “but you’re on the insurance policy, so the payout is better if you die!”

If there’s right wing and/or established American indoctrination to parrot, he sings like a little bird.

Whose eco-friendly now? We’re bringing back critically endangered diseases, what have the rest of you brought back from the brink of destruction?

My dental hygienist actually explained it to me one time.

It has nothing to do with “toughening up your gums” like I used to think. Food gets trapped, bacteria grows, and your gums become inflamed to combat the bacteria. So now your gums are constantly full of blood protecting you from infection and when you do floss (or someone flosses for you), they’re going to bleed a lot.

I started flossing habitually every night and wouldn’t you know it I’ve only ever bled or felt pain from flossing when I miss some stupid popcorn shell thats wedged itself down low (which also goes to show, you don’t event need to do a particularly good job flossing for it to work 99%)

A bonus tip for folks that don’t like garotting their fingertips every night by wrapping them in 6 loops of floss just to get some tension: tie a short piece into a loop, double knotted, and you just pull the loop tight between two fingers. No finger pain, no extra appliance, and it uses less floss.

Extra bonus tip: get proper butlerweave floss. The plastic ribbon bullshit is absolute nonsense. Like trying to wash dishes with a zip lock bag…

Do you remember LoZ Wind Waker? Maybe it’s the nostalgia goggles, but ripping through the open water just felt good. I don’t even think it was particularly mechanically fun. Maybe it was just the music.

So-crates?

Real estate is a good example of the trickiest thing about “simple” wealth tax.

I bought a house, and 20 years later I have to pay more taxes because my neighbourhood is more desirable?

Okay, easy solution, you get one free house you need to reside in for x% of your time per year.

But say I bought a painting from a local artist, even a friend, and decades go by and they’ve gone on to become ultra famous. Do I now have to pay more tax because I possess something that has become valuable?

Obviously thats a very unlikely scenario, but you can see the principle issue.

Brain: I’d have to be crazy to have a baby…

Biology: No problem!

Of course it’s fucking Alberta.

Leadership here desperately wants to be included in the fascist south. Willing to sell out, seeking to secede, banning books, actively fighting against public education…

That’s fair. Explain how calling out fascists being fascists that haven’t yet realized there full potential is like The Boy Who Cried Wolf?
