So… If you click on the little 2 at the end of: “The codes are administered by the International Federation for Produce Standards (IFPS), a global coalition of fruit and vegetable associations that was formed in 2001 to introduce PLU numbers globally.[2]”

Scroll down to members. I counted 14 organization from at least 11 countries. So yeah , even the 20 was a streach.

This is what I ment. Sorry if it was not clear.

About the other thing, it is subjective. I would not consider something effecting less then 10% of the countries a global thing. But you do have a point there.

That is not how source work. Without citation you are just claiming that it is a different number. This is in no way better than what you are disputing.

Well… if you check the link, it is like 20 country. Hardly a global standard.

It’s a ridiculous ad so people would talk about it and it seems it’s working…

AAAA… <inhales> aaaaaaaa!

As a hetero male I can confirm. I live in the northern hemisphere, in mild continental climate. In this time of the year everything dries up. Grass retreat to their roots/rhizomes. Wild flowers curl up their cute little leaves while bees visit their tiny flowers that defy the heat. This shit is lit!

Every opinion is valid and people can disagree with it. But have you considered that there are museums of torture devices, or substance abuse. In that spirit what are the games that could should be remembered as a cautionary tale? For me it would be heroes3, minecraft, rimworld. These took most of my life (rotted most of my brain).

Pic says “cross country”. I don’t want to dilute it with my east european story. In case you are serious about it.

Which country?

Good talk MudMan. Sorry that I dumped this on you! I have these episodes sometimes. You are a wonderful person.

Dedicating your life throwing paper planes down a cliff sounds very nihilistic though… Agree to disagree?

Accepting that there is no meaning of life or that no one is ment for anything is pretty nihilistic. But that is OK, I have nothing against nihilism.

Back to your point, reproducing should be everyone’s concise choice. Going “quietly into th night”, choosing extinction, being selected out by evolution has always been an option. Just becouse trillions of your ancestors, dating back to single celled organisms reproduced doesn’t mean you have to.

Putting all tomfuckery aside, depression and extreme anxiety is likely lowering human diversity and we don’t even know how dire this will be. Humanity as a whole will probably adapt to this environment, as people too susceptible will have no kids. I did come close to removing my self from the game my self twice. Got lucky; got some good medication; pull my self out of that mass. Though I got old and somewhat infertile, almost missed my window. When you thinkig about stepping in front of a train, you don’t think about having kids. That doesn’t mean you won’t change your mind later.

But you should make your own decisions. You can read the opinions of internet randos like me, but the decision will always be yours.

So true! If you are too depressed to have any offspring you simply quit the game of evolutin and the world goes on. Delicious, delicious nihilism. Keep scrolling ;)

Music for bugs in my ass (Camiidae)

Which floppy disc? The one whith the sliding metal thingy or the bendy one? Just kidding… I used both :D

And if you want something more disturbing, how about “kutyából nem lesz szalonna!” (You can’t make bacon out of a dog). Or “itt a tavasz, dagad a fasz” (spring time is here, the dicks are swollen). “terhesen nem vág orrba a lengő ajtó” (the door wont slam in your face if you are pregnant).

Don’t sugarcoat it. That is originaly “szarjál sünt”, meaning shit out a hedgehog…

In Hungarian its “palacsinta”. Wow, I didn’t know we say this similarly.

Hey, that is alternative splicing you are talking about. During the expression the pre-mRNA is mostly the same every time, if I remember correctly.
