There are! That is exactly what I’m aiming at, to leave small details hinting to something in the background of the story.

What else?

How does it fare compared with the standard Mint?

I’ve been considering try it but because of the focus on Cinamon I keep delaying it.

And today I learned.

Some of these I can’t even fathom what they are used for.

I"m going out on a limb and risk the engineers hammer is the tool used when everything else has already failed to separate, combine, detache, attache, couple, decouple, split or join.

If a scientist came to me asking for funding to research on bodily odor (which has happened, if memory serves me well) I would be baffled by the request but I wouldn’t outright deny it.

Sweaty arm pits. Stinky feet. Bad breath. Farts.

The lab would have to be declared a bio hazard area by itself. Too good to miss out. Just the chance to see someone trying to keep a straight face while taking in some of these fine bouquet of rancid would be too good to miss.

Imagine watching the footage of a day of work.

I agree no research is useless but some just goes straight into the bonkers folder.

Write as you see fit your story should be. You can’t please both greeks and trojans. If you think a given character is necessary, put them in your story.

And taking a risk of sounding ignorant and out of touch: why such concern for skin colors?

I didn’t. I don’t care about the votes system; you engaged me in conversation, I replied, let’s keep going. Does not care if we disagree on our views, we’re discussing ideas and that matters by itself.

You’re right. The value of anything, especially art, resides on the eye of the person looking at it, so, at this point, I will admit defeat on my previous argument.

Tagging is a form of urban cancer on its own. Full stop. But depending on what is writen, the border between reactionism and vandalism blurs.

I grew up in a very urban setting, after a political revolution, and the graffiti on the walls were words of anger, of calling out those who had cooperated with the old regime, slurs, etc.

Every word, line, trace, was disfiguring the buildings, statues and whatever surface it landed on but carried meaning, a message.

The Pompeii graffiti were gratuitous in nature but it was a city and part of a civilization know for being prone to excess. Today, those graffiti are living testaments of our colective history, although not much diferent from common and crude public bathroom scribbles.

This isn’t garbage, this is good banter.

A bored guy engraving runes at an height of 3.8 meters just to mess with the next guy reading it, an artist or worker sculpting his name into a work, ordered by the class in power (church) just to give the finger to the clergy, Mozart creating a piece to get revenge on the rich class that held him prisoner to work on what was asked to him instead of having liberty to create as he pleased…

Good, old fashioned, rebellion.

Respira, respira.

Let them handle those issues, we’ve settled ours already.

How about practical? Can it be so? Because I already have enough trouble dragging my fat ass around as it is; no need to weigh myself down with whatever quantity of fabric.

What purpose does that serve?

Is that a pancake on the kitten?

Have it run underground. Safer for all parts.

If those bottles are sold as a pair and each has 500 pills, 1000 pills is more than a hospital grade package in my country.

party pizza

this is going to sound strange but I’m not even aware of what that implies

I live in a simple place: pizza comes in small, medium and large. Anything else, you order and pay it by weight/ingredients.

I wasn’t even aware what it was and every single result the search engine returned was around the lines of “recipe for a cake to serve to a large number of people”.

You usually make a recipe to be small and just multiply the volume of ingredients in order to serve more.

not the other way around

You made me find what a sheet cake was and I am sincerely horrified.
