I don’t like it but parents with kids will find anything and everything to get out of trudging 30 blocks on a muddy cold night where 3 out of 10 houses on a lane are even giving candy, listening to a temperamental 5 year old suddenly decide they’re bored and its a 30 minute walk home and the temperature is dropping faster than you thought it would?

Fast forward to 10 years old, they go out with their friends and don’t come back an hour later than you said to be home by, because they left their tracker-app phone at home and went to a party you told them not to. Sure parenting plays a part but anyone with kids will tell you those crafty shits will find a way to slip the sturdiest net.

I see why it took off and had held on. I hand out full size bars and host driveway games - aint spending big money on decor and blowups. My house is the one you WANT to come to. But I can tell you the rest of the neighborhood just shrugs and says “whatever”.

I know c/fuckcars will be mad to hear this, but Trunk or Treats have taken off for a reason, and I would say are a large reason for Halloween dieoff. Conveniently scheduled to a weekend. (Removes school night problem) During daylight so its both warmer and visibility. (Ending early due to cold or fear of kids getting snatched or bullied for candy). You only really have to decorate your car (decor judgements and TPing people for not decorating) or the venue will have cars of approved people (removes chance of abduction or assault). It removes long walks parents may dislike - and the childhood stigma of shitty/good neighborhoods. AND kids like it because you can go to multiple through the month rather than just ONE night.

Hey thanks for the version with the artists name!

I wish the person I stole it from hadn’t cropped the artists name

Bro on rainbow road so he can have the patience for all his drunk friends lol

(But srs dangerous)

Genuine ask, it (feels like) more and more fields have been shifting to soybeans for more than a decade. Who else is a major importer that justified the swing from corn and feeder silage, before China got on board?

E:googled my questions- its a high protein alternative to meat, so it is popular in China, Mexico, and EU where mass meat farms are not on the same priority or scale as the US. Its also easily swapped into animal feed, and is a good energy yield crop that costs less soil-nutrients than most other high value crops as it produces much of its own Nitrogen to grow. In scale - In those 7 years China now imports about 20-25% of all US soybeans harvested accounting for over half of all soybeans exports. The US accounts for 30% of world soybean exports.

Most farms in the US are on 3 crop rotation and private farms often use a 5 year payback plan (for land and equipment). They JUST GOT DONE paying off the loans they took to get massively into Soy. They saw Trump promise farmers the world, took loans and grew Soy, got slapped with a recession, and just as they are recovering from poor sales, they get hit again. Given 1 in 5 farms are an export farm (the 20% statistic from earlier), and where they’re at in crop rotation, I would make a (wildly uneducated) guess that 1 in 3 farms will experience extreme hardship. Either they have savings to just eat the second recession hit and will remove any edge on “getting ahead”, or will need bailout, or will go broke. The other 2/3 are on a different rotation or are major corporate farms that will find a buyer within their own meat farms system to try and mitigate the massive excess.

So was it actually triggering the violence and it happened to not be present or does it have a higher chance/ only trigger when the player is involved? Or would it just…stay home existing and not capable of triggering until it was called to the gathering?

Thanks for the explanation!

Sir/ma’am I’m from reddit, change is hard and scary

I love the way he articulates that everyone wants the glory of killing the demon king, but since everyones chasing the demon king no one has been culling goblins and now theyre almost unchecked and heroes would have no home to return to.

He’s like almost the highest rank adventurer for just being a “gardener” on the home front

I do not play the Sims, and am vaguely familiar with the concept of the game being controlling a families day to day life. What does the “extreme violence mod” do (that you can turn it off and somehow lose track of a character capable of it)

I am in shambles

The TRUS here got turned into an alcohol store. Huge. They even kept Jeffery up!

I think the only ones I dont totally dig are the scream and clown ones.

Pretty good spread overall. Mine isn’t metal but I felt it was a good song.

Agreed. If smart fridges scanned your contents and made a shopping list (maybe texted you it) and it ended at that, it was hailed as amazing. Same for screens to display more complex settings and minimize buttons. Amazing in theory, clean looking no-button interfaces in kitchens and cars.

The second some feck-shite decided “oh hey we can also use that feature to spy on people” or to send ads on the screen was the moment it wasn’t such a cool idea.

You can’t put them on the top?

iRobot storytelling

Oh? They fixed the cbomb?

I think there was a Simpsons joke similar to this on their Sublemmy a few days ago with the mafia dumping "yard trimmings’

You know as a thumbnail i never even saw the meme behind it

E- Looks like its some form of “eat the rich” mockery?

I do appreciate learning this! Even if I did not make it.
