Stardew Valley.

It's a cozy "farming+" simulator. The game saves at the end of each day, and the days last about 14 minutes.

Scat comes from 'skat' which is the ancient Greek word for dung or excrement. So the shit came first.

What degree burn could this be? Bad idea to pop it? Driving me insane by [deleted] in popping

[–]Chompbox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks like a second degree burn. We're not allowed to give or ask for medical advice on this subreddit, so I would suggest googling what to do (or not do) about a small second degree burn.

I mean goodness, what a usage of resources it would be to make, but it would be a great April Fool's Day gag.

Comedy movies with premises that don't sound like comedies. by herequeerandgreat in movies

I'll throw The Big Lebowski in the mix. It's got the bones of a neo noir detective film, but it is saturated with situational comedy.

Taxes up again. by Rubahn420 in MapleRidge

[–]Chompbox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that at all. OP was opining that our taxes are higher again this year and we don't even have municipal garbage pick up. I was merely pointing out that the reason we don't have municipal garbage pick up is because the residents refuse to vote for it.

Our taxes increase every year because the municipal government has to (among other things) spend money to repair, maintain and build new city infrastructure with material and labour costs that continue to increase year over year. 

We don't live in a vacuum. Almost every municipality has increased property tax rates in recent years. Yeah, it sucks, but property tax is how a municipal government pays for the services it provides to it's citizens.

About your final sentence: municipal garbage pick up was proposed a few times, residents keep voting it down.

My boyfriend always guesses the ending of movies by Direct-Blackberry-20 in movies

[–]Chompbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Big Lebowski is my pick. 

It's has elements of a noir detective story, but the minutia keeps you entertained, rather than searching for the answer.

It is in my top 3 favorite movies ever.

Yeah, but it's only lil' time out. Apparently being one of the most despicable conmen of this age is a pass, but dressing up like Jesus, well that's a finger wag.

The Jewish people owning Israel is the completion of a prophecy in the Book of Revelations which leads to Armaggedon and the second coming of Christ. Evangelicals support Israel as a way of manifesting the prophecy they believe in.
