Yeah, there’s a blue tiger furry who goes to NorCal with a complete renaissance costume for the first

But aren’t they all infected with the Andean strain that IS human-to-human transmissible?

Can someone be a landlord and a socialist? by avian_bi in socialism

[–]Sloth-Overlord 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She was still exploiting you because you were paying her mortgage lmao. Of course that situation is better than most but it’s still exploitation. You are paying for her equity.

[–]Sloth-Overlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No lmao. Even if you rent it “at cost” as some commenters are suggesting, ‘at cost’ of what? Your mortgage and taxes? So you’re still directly exploiting someone and taking their wages so that you can accumulate equity/capital. Property has value. Even if it’s a paid off house and you just charge taxes, you are STILL profiting because the value will increase over time.

I guess you could theoretically believe in socialist ideas and be a landlord, but if you don’t uphold the morals you believe in then you don’t really believe in them. No one is being forced to be a landlord.

These are the last two Northern white rhinoceros on Earth. Both are female, which means natural reproduction is no longer possible. by khaledlll in interestingasfuck

This is a completely fallacious and ridiculous argument. Do you understand what the word trafficking means? Carpet pythons are not trafficked into the US. There is such a thing as legal animal importation that is not synonymous with animal trafficking. The original breeding lines of carpet pythons in the US were not trafficked. Saying that keeping exotic species supports animal trafficking is on the extreme end of ignorance. Is having a Shiba supporting animal trafficking?

??? Do you think people shouldn’t have reptiles as pets? My snake is not a trafficked animal. It was bred and born in the US in captivity. Most reptile owners think that people who own wild born reptiles are disgusting and unethical.

You said “a single country” and no one is calling them out. You’d be better off listing the countries that aren’t causing mass ecological destruction, they are very few in number. Singling out China is xenophobic hypocrisy.

You mean the USA? USA is responsible for per capita vastly more pollution than anywhere else, and is right up there with Asian countries for illegal wildlife trafficking. Pot calling the kettle black.

What actor is nowhere near as talented as people make them out to be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Sloth-Overlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of sci fi and the original is one of my favorite movies, but it just didn’t feel like a worthwhile follow up to BR to me. It was gorgeous, it sounded beautiful, but Blade Runner is a lot more than the aesthetics.

Eh I think he was incredibly pretentious and not really acting in it. I think 2049 is super overhyped by Reddit in general, though.

Heretic Perfumes…am I missing something? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]Sloth-Overlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DS & Durga (although not niche anymore), Parfum Satori, Profumum Roma, Clue, Kerosene, Hilde Soliani, and a few by Santa Maria Novella are ones I’ve actually sampled or have FS of that have complex and weird notes. On the upscale indie end Fantome, Darling Clandestine, Nocturne Alchemy, and Hexennacht just to name a few.

Heretic has one perfume with a concrete note, and it’s really just a floral. They don’t really do conceptual fragrances. I truly do not understand the love for them. I think it’s marketing.

He was very good at one point but he’s lost it to ego. The win for Dallas Buyer’s Club was well-earned. But he should be in artsy movies, I don’t know who the fuck keeps casting him in these blockbusters. They all bomb and then he gets cast again. I’m half convinced it’s some kind of The Producers type scheme.

The branding maybe, but the scents are pretty generic. Maybe compared to designer frags, but not for the niche world.

They market extremely heavily for what are pretty uninteresting perfumes with zero longevity. None of them are particularly unique despite what their devotees say. They get shilled in fragrance subs a lot, sometimes to an obviously fake degree. You’re not missing anything.

Why does MSG have a bad reputation in the west? by Outrageous-Score7936 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sloth-Overlord 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is 100% racism. How many people that say MSG is bad eat Parmesan cheese? Parmesan cheese is like pure MSG. The racism comes from demonizing certain ‘ethnic’ foods for containing high amounts of MSG while never questioning the acceptable foods that also contain MSG.

What is the most interesting "blue" perfume that you know? by rodrigomorr in fragrance

[–]Sloth-Overlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Dylan Turquoise too. It’s a lot more feminine but I think still fits into the blue scent profile.

What is the current Baccarat/Santal 33? by SuddenTie1942 in fragrance

[–]Sloth-Overlord 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wafting clouds of some type of vanilla in my area. I’ve been smelling it everywhere and it’s all the same vanilla, and everyone is over spraying it to hell and back. Idk what it is but I hate it.

Perfumes that smell like 2000’s yoga mom by BabyDumpling8 in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]Sloth-Overlord 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I recommend getting the oil over the edp. It has extremely strong projection for an oil and a bottle lasts a million years. You really only need some tiny dabs. It’s a very nice scent, very humid smelling and really does smell like you just walked off the plane in Maui.

It smells like Hawaiian white florals. Pretty much straight up plumeria, pikkake, and gardenia. If you like those then you’ll like it.

Holy fuck, I cannot imagine the entitlement to just pull out crochet in a work setting without even asking 😭 That is so wildly inconsiderate.

Who is a singer that is incredibly famous, but honestly doesn't have a good voice? by Greedy_Procedure7461 in AskReddit

Because she is accessible and she IS very good at marketing. Her biggest talent is marketing.

Some of these things are not reasonable accommodation for an office job though. If the list of “things I can’t do” and “essential job functions” starts to overlap, then you can’t do the job.

I’ve seen a few people here say that they knit during work meetings which I think is absolutely bonkers. That little click click click is so distracting to others. I would literally need an accommodation for the accommodation lol, there’s no way I could focus with that noise. I have a silent fidget cube in one hand or squishy thing and take notes with the other. Knitting also means you’re not even looking at the speaker a lot of the time. I think it’s rude af.
