@jezza I like your point about it resolving in rankings… I guess that makes sense

I don't get the point of a one-world currency. What benefit would it provide other than greater efficiency? Why do the people who say it's a sign of The End Times™ say the bad guys would even want that?

After 26 years of being consciously aware of the Olympics and being reasonably indifferent to the concept of the whole (though interested in several parts within) I have developed three opinions.

1. Any sport that has an extant “best of the world” competition should not be in the Olympics.

2. The Olympics started as a competition of pure athleticism. Events that require the opinions of judges should not be included.

3. We shouldn't be tallying medals by nations. Nations should participate as the pool from which teams can be made and their local Olympic committees deciding which athletes can partake, but that's it. It shouldn't be a competition between nations.

We need a formalised taxonomical nomenclature to properly discuss cuisine

@raintrees Yeah, I didn't realise it has been around for so long!

@jezza Do you have container for me to put it in? 😬

I don't know if taking the dip containers at a restaurant or is actually stealing or not but it does remind me that if they don't want me to take them they really should give me a way to take my dip home.

This was originally composed as a speech-to-text note ending with "…take my dick home"

I am once again reminded that while stats about people joining a religion are interesting, in the case of religions that push the idea of some post-death benefits to those in the right state at death, stats on the number of followers dying would be more beneficial to see if you want to show how well a religion is doing over time at propagating their message.

@jezza I guess I'm not old enough or have enough bad experiences with young people in the neighbourhood yet haha

I find it wild that there’s places in the world where you aren’t allowed to record a conversation without everyone’s consent

@mike Neither here nor there but you make wonder what it would do if you held a sheet of coloured cellophane in front of the camera

@vandys Here in Alberta 🇨🇦 at least, all property owners pay the education property tax. The rate is the same no matter where you are.

I don't think I'd want to live in a "55+ community" or something like that when I'm older. I don't see why I'd want to exclude the young whippersnappers.
