I remember I was maybe 8 years old and lucky enough to go out on my dad and uncle's fishing boat. They were commercial fishermen, netting sardines.

I was so excited when dolphins showed up, only to discover that not everyone loves dolphins when my uncle got the shotgun out. He didn't actually murder any dolphins that day but not for lack of trying.

Suffice to say, I think most fishermen have a healthy dislike for other predators.

to change climate so water can refresh their data

sorry what?

I was about to correct you on that but I looked it up and you're more correct than me.

I thought groceries were more like packaged goods and not necessarily edible.

Like here in Australia if I went to a super market and bought steak and veggies I wouldn't say "I'm just out buying some groceries".

Another example, "I buy my veggies from the veggie shop, steak from the butcher, and then other groceries from the super market".

I guess it is a somewhat old term. becoming less popular I suppose.

Here in Australia, most of the inflation we encountered in 2024 was due to large retailers simply increasing their prices because everyone expected everything to be more expensive.

Well honestly I kinda don't understand what's been happening since April. I know there's been a lot of chickening out but I had thought that a lot of tariffs were in place even if it's only 10%. Have grocery chains not been passing this on for the last several months?

It's one thing to say someone is a terrible parent who ought not to have had children, it's a whole other thing to prevent someone from having children either before or after birth.

So you're just making things up based on the vibe.

I guess so.

I honestly haven't put any thought into what age they need to be before they can start doing things like that.

I'm just making it up day by day.

I think that's probably an appropriate age to be out by themselves during the day I guess.

Here's an example usage from cambridge dictionary:

Is he a pretentious postmodern dilettante barely concealing his limitations behind mannered overwrought wordplay and the needless over-ornamentation of derivative rock songs and genre pastiches?

God I can't wait to be able to send the kids to get a kebab or pizza.

They're only 2 now. Another 13 years or so and they can go fetch things on their bikes or scooters I guess.

I've had pizza delivered by the guys who work for the store, but never a delivery service.

where does our tax money go?

This is a pretty easy question to answer given that you're talking about a public institution.

The only difficulty is that the answer is complex and requires reading and understanding many sets of financial reports and accompanying minutes et cetera.

a city near me just bought 32 benches at the cost of 70k€ EACH

That's a pretty absurd claim, and simply not how budgets in public institutions work.

Sure there might have been some kind of fuckup so installation of one of 32 benches cost $70k, or any number of other plausible explanations, but large public institutions don't just throw $2.25m EUR at the end of a quarter as a budget stuffing exercise.

How could this ever be a reasonable idea, regardless of this mother's heritage.
