Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. That’s Good Omens

Chocolate eggs? We always hide real eggs. Cooked and painted.

Not really. Teenagers and young adults used to party a lot, and those parties used to have a lot of alcohol

I actually rather like the taste. Although it’s certainly an acquired taste. Like salminak

That would be a reason for more alcohol

Because alcohol is bad for you?

Our parents were still told that a glass of wine a day was healthy.

It’s just UHT. UHT dairy is very much legal in the US. And does not have to be refrigerated. It often is, because unrefrigerated milk makes US consumers uneasy. But it doesn’t have to be.

I am aware that it’s less common than it is in Europe. But it’s not an unreasonable question.

“Do you guys have any sour cream that isn’t refrigerated?”

How is that a stupid question?

It’s the continuation of a long tradition

More commonly it’s addiction that causes poverty. Drugs are expensive. And an addiction doesn’t make it easier to keep a job.

The tips about opioids and stimulants are also valid if you want to reduce harm while doing those kinds of drugs.

There’s a reason rich people prefer them.

Eww. I need bleach for my ears.

On a related note, I learned yesterday how Kennedy must have gotten his brain worms https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-do-people-get-parasitic-brain-worms-like-the-one-rfk-jr-had/

It’s important to take the right drugs, if you want to get rich.

• For example you should take marijuana edible and vapes. Don’t smoke the dried flowers directly.
• You should take prescription painkillers. Avoid heroin and black market fentanyl.
• Do not take Methamphetamine. Try cocaine instead.
• Hallucinogens should help across the board

Because it will be decreasing in value right after you buy it?

Practically the only time, Bitcoin isn’t at an all-time high is when the price is falling. That would be an even worse time to buy

How does inventing a 4th language help with that?

That’s a terrible choice in a children’s book. Kids are supposed to learn how to read.

And English is an unusually difficult language for learning to read anyway. The spelling is completely inconsistent (who decided to fix the spelling during a great vowel shift?).

Is that AI, or did the illustraters deliberately misspell things?

To me that sounds even worse.

A lot of placemats are hard to wash. At least this can be put through the washing machine
