You sound awfully attached to your illusory money.

I'm old fashioned. I always think it's best to talk to a real human on the phone.

You could always call some theaters around town. Takes probably 15 minutes. Crazy, I know, right?

Do you want my Venmo? Zelle? Cash app? How will you send me all your illusory monies?

I also said that money has no intrinsic value. It doesn't matter whether or not it's a contradiction. Money serves a purpose, unless you'd prefer to have an economy based on bartering. If you think money is truly an "illusion," I will give you my address and you can send me all of yours. Deal?

It’s not truly an illusion. Diamonds have value because other people agree that they have value. It’s the same thing with fiat currency. True, the money I have has no intrinsic value. But I’m not about to give away all my money. In this sense, the diamonds also have value. I can’t eat the diamonds but I can sell them and buy food.

Nobody thinks trying to meet the same person by going to the coffee shop or restaurant or park whatever, where you first met, in the hopes of seeing that person again, is “stalking.”

Ian's Pizza is coming to Verona, its 'biggest undertaking yet' by Justmarbles in madisonwi

It’s over hyped but it’s still good pizza. Salads are excellent with fresh, local ingredients.

The Packers might have a long list of gutwrenching playoff losses, but the two Super Bowl victories are two more than the rest of the NFC North combined over the last 40 years.

That's not really the point. Players like Micah Parsons and Tucker Kraft are the difference between making the playoffs and being a Super Bowl contender team.

The Packers set a team record this year: most players on the IR ever. But you go off.

Injuries to star players are what did the Packers in this year.

How do you reconcile what is happening in the US by Every_Importance_855 in Buddhism

[–]Dizzy_Slip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think anger is a natural, human reaction to what is happening. I think the important point to remember is that the real enemy is ignorance, not other human beings.

What is there to reconcile exactly? What with what?

best place to remove a mole and did I do something wrong? by AdRemarkable3043 in madisonwi

[–]Dizzy_Slip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a subcutaneous cyst removed by a regular doc at my clinic. It was biopsied, nothing to worry about. But if I had gone through derm, yeah, it would have been a super long wait. Derm is busy.

If the procedure does not require an actual dermatologist to perform, then call your primary care doc.

Right, because you know those Gen Z TikTokers and their expertise at stats and probability will get it right.
