The overly politically correct writing was lampooned in 1994 in this short amauzing book: https://www.amazon.com/Politically-Correct-Bedtime-Stories-Storybook-ebook/dp/B004BA5EV0

> One day an invitation arrived at their house. The prince was celebrating his exploitation of the dispossessed and marginalized peasantry by throwing a fancy dress ball. Cinderella’s sisters-of-step were very excited to be invited to the palace. They began to plan the expensive clothes they would use to alter and enslave their natural body images to emulate an unrealistic standard of feminine beauty.


> When the day of the ball arrived, Cinderella helped her mother- and sisters-of-step into their ball gowns. A formidable task: It was like trying to force ten pounds of processed nonhuman animal carcasses into a five-pound skin. Next came immense cosmetic augmentation, which it would be best not to describe at all.

Eat your heart out people.

I still love those pens, they just got much nicer

My other comment is likely buried so leaving these here. These are great to have on hand and are accurate and cheap (25 for $8.95 on amazon). They worked really well for early detection with both of my kids bonus: no results window that you may accidentally pee on.

Wondfo Pregnancy Test Strips, 25-count medical https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002YIQEQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_llFVDbVQJBVKV

Lets see:

2 - Unspecified color lightstrips. (we'll say Hue for simplicity) - 89.99x2
1 - Big-ass U-shaped desk. - very very variable. (I got mine for $10) Lets say 200.00
4 - Monitors probably about 120.00x4
1 - Large Imperial Shuttle figure. At this resolution it's impossible to see which one, but none of them are particularly cheap so lets say it is this one. 500.00
1 - PC. Specs are impossible to know, but he attached glowing shit all over the inside, so he either built it himself or bought it from an overpriced PC-build company. Either way it is definitely > 1000.00
1 - Mouse/Keyboard. I can't really make them out, but they don't look either mechanical or colorful. So probably pretty standard. 20.00
2 - ForceFX lightsabers. Assuming these are standard models that's 1000.00+
1 - Computer Chair. 80.00+

This is a very low-res photo, so I can't make out anything else and a lot of this is guesswork taken from the perceived 'average' you might pay for it. It could be much higher. But this gives us a total of:

89.99+89.99+200+120+120+120+120+500+1000+20+1000+80=3,459.98

So yeah, 3000+ worth of stuff in this picture, and most of that value is coming from the nerdy shit.

This was a great album; I don’t know what going to college has to do with it.

>I'm not arguing cost, so stop pettyfogging.

The fact that you call this pettyfogging is proof that you literally have no idea how REAL WORLD works

> According to the most recent estimates, in 2013, 10.7 percent of the world’s population lived on less than US$1.90 a day

[Price of BioCanna] (https://www.amazon.com/Liter-Organic-Nutrient-BIOCANNA-9620001/dp/B003B4L3LW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1485038003&sr=8-3&keywords=biocanna)

How exactly is the 10% of population going to afford this if it's pretty much their entire monthly wage ?
Right now you doomed billion people to save billion cows. Fair deal...

>Antidepressants are what now?

Nice riddle. I would say NOW Ginko Biloba.

Excuse me

You think you know fan bases? Who's this, then?

Buy a valve extension hose for your spare. That way you can check and re-fill the tire without removing it from the trunk (which nobody ever wants to do, so they let the tire go flat).

Are those the ones with the prickly points on them?

If so, no.

When you "put money in people's pockets" by increasing the minimum wages prices go up. You also thrust the people who were already making $15 into poverty by making what was a living wage less so. If you really want to improve the lives of the poor by giving them money, obviously taking that from other working poor in the form of higher costs is the least desirable way to approach that. If you really insist on doing that, raising top marginal income taxes would be a better approach. As I have already pointed out before, in places where they have gone to a $15 minimum wage, there has been a mass exodus of qualified childcare workers to other easier jobs that now pay the same anount.who does that hurt? The working poor yet again. How is a family that needs two incomes supposed to do that when they can't afford child care anymore? How is a single mom supposed to do that at all? Before you go around calling economics cute, you might take a brief moment to read about what is already happening where this is being implemented. You are also completely ignoring the perverse incentive doubling the minimum wage has to eliminate jobs. It's not terribly hard to understand. We dont need Jetson's level technology either to eliminate a lot of minimum wage jobs.
