    The obvious exception to this is cases of addiction or poor life decisions.

    Like if you collect/play Pokemon or whatever as a hobby and are excited to get a rare card, that’s great and I’m happy for you.

    If you’re underwater on your mortgage and your basement is full of beanie-babies - that you’re sure will make you rich in the future - but you just won a bid of $1000 for one rare beanie on eBay… yeah I’m not gonna be happy for you I’m gonna recommend talking to a professional

  • I’m thinking that #7 might be useful in certain policing or security positions, depending on the definition of empty (there’s always dust and air).

    Got a bunch of containers that need to be inspected? You can cross the ones you can see through off the list.

    Also useful for winning the cup-and-ball game







  • Well, if any caucasianswanna experience a taste of racism/discrimination, just head down to certain areas of Richmond, BC Canada

    • Signage only in Chinese (violates language laws)

    • Restaurants that won’t even acknowledge your presence (if non Chinese)

    • Realtors that won’t show you housing (if non Chinese)

    But if course nobody will do anything because to address the issue said seem… racist.

    And that’s the funny thing. Because people at the top of the racist pyramid generally share the same skin color, ethnicity and/or pants-contents as you, you get to be grouped in as “the oppressor”. Even if you share a lot more in common with victims of the same system, complaints are met with decision and ignored.

    That’s because it’s easier to divide and conquer by skin and gender to hide the real class war that exists.


  • Ok… well we are discussing the fictive ability to speak with somebody who is dead. I’m assuming that whatever necromancy/chronomancy is involved included some sort of translation.

    Hell, if it’s necromancy then the only thing we might get out of poor Leo is a “cerveeeeeeelli” before he lunges across the table :-)
