“It won’t go lower than $5!”
“Uuugghhh, fine, give them five.”
“Alright, we’re on the supporters list”
“Great, issue a press release telling everyone how great we are for giving back.”

still fundamentally need to sell

[Sarcasm] Unlike companies, which are apparently altruistic organizations that exist for the betterment of humanity! It’s all those fools who keep yelling “companies exist to make money” who are wrong. Yeah, that must be it. Tech companies charge because they’re good, whilst various writers give away some, much, most, or all of their work because they’re evil! Sharing is DEATH, kids!

Sorry, I went off a bit there because I’m frustrated at how committed you are to your bad ideas. Also textbooks also have to be sold, at least here in the US where many are (were?) tailored to the anti-education pro-horsecrap preferences of Texas.

Took me a while to see it 😅Well spotted.

Well, actually it’s a shower and not a well, but you get the idea.

Aaahhh, cookies! I need a cookie :-\

Oh, uhm, ehem. I use “The Dragon Book” as a laptop stand :'D The one with the red dragon.

Is the bowl hot? Is the handle less hot?

Maybe it’s so you can drag the bowl around without touching the hot bit. … Kinda like the handle on a cup of hot tea/coffee/cocoa?

People get super defensive about every single word they say, like some single solitary slight substitution squarely suggests stifling someone’s soul, striking substance seemingly senselessly. But it’s not substance: it’s simply a choice of word that some/many make without even really considering it. It’s a non-issue that suddenly becomes a big damn problem suppressing people’s freeze peach for no good reason I recall ever seeing.

“Hey, could you not say [word] [/so much] maybe? There are [better/other] choices” is apparently equivalent in personal offensiveness to “You’re now Harold, a Scientologist whose favourite colour is green and your greatest dream/goal in life is to become a glider pilot.”
