21·4 days ago“Old money” vs. “New money” is a particularly American concept, though.
Your nervous system has finite bandwidth. The extra movement and sensation signals drown out the “need to pee” signal, making it seem less urgent. It’s also why we rub the area around minor injuries to relieve pain.
AFAIK California doesn’t require a license for ebikes.
It is a theory to explain how genie knows about things like automobiles and 20th century movie stars. It posits that these are only anachronisms if the story is set in the past, as commonly assumed. But setting it in the far distant future eliminates the problem. It also explains the apparent “magic” in the world as remnants of a fallen high-tech civilization.
Rajah the tiger? Genetic engineered. Magic carpet? Hover tech. Buried stop signs (video game only)? Ancient relic. It’s really quite surprising how well this theory fits.
Throw in the fan theory that Disney’s version takes place thousands of years in the future.
You mean like… speaking to someone in the same room? While they’re looking at you? With their eyes?!
Goofy at the bottom
From the phrasing and context, I was expecting something else when I clicked.
Found the original panel, can’t find the whole comic.
NSFW obviously.

Assuming it survives the fall to the bottom of the elevator shaft, the building management should be able to retrieve it for you.

…you do have krombiception, don’t you?
According to my extensive 30 seconds of research, the difference is that a sauce is an integral ingredient, but a condiment is added after the dish is served. In which case, ketchup can be either or both, even in the same dish.
“Not do anything useful” would be more accurate than “do nothing”. But that’s just my tl;dr.
[…] the resolution also contains many unbalanced, inaccurate, and unwise provisions the United States cannot support. This resolution does not articulate meaningful solutions for preventing hunger and malnutrition or avoiding their devastating consequences.
The United States is concerned that the concept of “food sovereignty” could justify protectionism or other restrictive import or export policies […]
We also do not accept any reading of this resolution or related documents that would suggest that States have particular extraterritorial obligations arising from any concept of a “right to food,” which we do not recognize and has no definition in international law.
tl;dr:
- The USA doesn’t think the resolution actually does anything useful, even if it supports the intention
- The USA, the largest exporter of food, is concerned how the resolution might impact food exports
- The USA doesn’t recognize the imposition of legal obligations to act outside of its own territory
But the resolution passed anyway, which is why world hunger has disappeared.

Dragons, giants, monsters, that sort of thing. They weren’t entirely wrong.
Fair game.
