I’m pretty much with you on this one. A lot of these people sound like they have terrible boundaries with their children. I get OP’s in a difficult situation, but I don’t get why they’re complaining about spending $30 on pizza when they agreed to pay that before it was even delivered. I’m not saying OP should’ve been like “you will eat what I say or you will go without dinner,” but really, as a parent you can give your child realistic options that don’t require you hiding in the garage for a couple hours. Ham sandwiches don’t smell, lots of foods don’t smell. If they “refuse,” they’re still going to want to eat later when they’re hungrier, and you make the same food choices available.

Also a large deep dish pizza from Jet’s is like $18, and it’s really hard to overstate how much more food and how much better their pizza is. Domino’s is clearly preying on people who don’t know any better or who don’t have any other options.

The following table represents data from OECD’s “median disposable income per person” metric; disposable income deducts from gross income the value of taxes on income and wealth paid and of contributions paid by households to public social security schemes.[4] The figures are equivalised by dividing income by the square root of household size. As OECD displays median disposable incomes in each country’s respective currency, the values were converted here using PPP conversion factors for private consumption from the same source, accounting for each country’s cost of living in the year that the disposable median income was recorded.[5] Data are in United States dollars at current prices and current purchasing power parity for private consumption for the reference year.

It should be noted these numbers are in no way indicative of standard of living, as someone in a high tax country with excellent services may appear to have lower income despite having fewer expenses after taxes.

This graph displays cost based on grams of protein per unit weight, not based on weight alone. You’re comparing items based on weight alone.

If I only had the noive

I heard advice that you should store your condiments in there and fruits and veggies just go on the regular shelves. They may spoil a bit faster on the shelves, but you’ll remember to use them.

I store a big bag of carrots in my crisper bc they keep so long and I always throw a couple in whatever I’m cooking, but leafy greens, broccoli, etc go on the shelves.

The Great Depression, World War II, and Jim Crow are calling

A pack of 10 guavas is $2.37 at my grocery store in Texas. $3 for 1 is crazy

Another? What diseases are they spreading?

In the actual report linked in this article it says they were aware of the attack as it was happening and that they don’t believe it was a state actor

Really though, imagine this dog taking a shit in the park while staring you dead in the eye. I bet it has freakishly long human-like arms

Are you sure this isn’t just because it’s in St. Louis?

The block on which the long-vacant St. Louis property sits was declared a decaying area by the St. Louis Planning Commission in 2023, the commercial real estate information news outlet mentioned.

Yeah this one’s been completely vacant since 2017. This building’s got lots of problems and has nothing to do with RTO policies

Population growth cycles are usually pretty stable under typical conditions. It’s hard to overstate the number of cicadas emerging with these two broods aligning this year, this will be a population growth cycle on steroids for predators, which is why it’s remarkable. Next year, with so many additional predators, they will negatively affect the populations of other prey due to increased predation, which will negatively affect predator populations the following year, etc. The point is the population disruptions in these ecological systems will be large

One of the theories as to why these periodical cicadas evolved these lengthy reproductive cycles is because they avoid elevating predator populations long-term.

I haven’t read the paper, but I don’t think it’s that simple. Having an endless supply of food increases fecundity among predator populations, which means next year there may be a lot more of the animals that eat cicadas than there are this year, but the cicadas will be gone. The question is whether there will be enough food to sustain the increased population size next year, and the answer is probably going to be no.
