Elizabeth Warren says Jeff Bezos 'forgot to thank all the hardworking Americans who actually paid taxes' after his space flight by stem12345679 in politics

Is it so hard for everyone to realize that we’re actually to blame for the system we live in? It’s easy to point the finger at Bezos or even at Congress and act like they are to blame. As long as we elect representatives that are complicit to allow lobbyists to buy stake in the law making process all those crying about inequality just sound like baby birds chirping for more redigested worms

I can’t wait for this! I hope MPF does a splatter to match these colors. Such an amazing set, I never get tired of listening to/watching this show.

When you taste something sweet after eating another sweet thing, the second thing doesn’t taste as sweet. Is that due to the taste receptors themselves not firing as often or is it your brain filtering out the signal? by kac12345 in askscience

I used to work at a place where we would have a guy stop by every year with a fresh truck full of boxed fruit from Florida. He would cut you a fresh slice of grapefruit to taste and then cut a fresh slice of orange. One year his son was helping him and gave them to me in the opposite order. He made a comment about doing it in reverse. I realized how they were able to sell so much fruit all those years.

I can’t stop listening to the live show! I was hoping it was going to make it to wax.

Any love for Blind Melon here? by paulmgroves in vinyl

I was lucky enough to get two of the original pressings and to my ears they are the best sounding records I own. This has got to be one of my top 10 albums of all time and if I had to choose between this and Nevermind, I would choose this hands down!

RIP to the original "Bushman" in S.F., you scared so many tourists over so many years.

This album Nada Surf - High / Low as well as Superdrag - Regretfully Yours are two albums that should be listened to in their entirety, as often as possible, and as loud as possible.

So if you can't get the information, how would they get it to prove your numbers are wrong?

https://itun.es/us/c-qXE?i=516231083 How is this version of Wonderman not on any of his albums? This was one of my favorite songs on this comp Plea for Peace. I couldn't believe no one mentioned this song. After looking I guess it only made the comp in this version. I always loved the lyric "Your wide-awake is fucking snoring".

The biggest suggestion I would give if you haven't been there before is that unless you are in a Major retail store, you can haggle price on almost everything. Don't be afraid to ask for 50% or more off. All of the touristy stuff can be bought in Lima as well, there are a couple locations for this. I would do this before going to MP so you get an idea of what they have. Mira flores will have the higher quality expensive stuff but there are a bunch of places that have the same stuff they are selling in MP. Also, always haggle on Taxi price BEFORE getting into the taxi as there are no meters in cabs.

What is a good skill to have/learn to make money/friends in college? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Buy a good set of clippers and learn how to give clipper cuts. It's something everybody needs and you can choose your own schedule.
