They taste better because they’re more fresh. You pick up a regular Reese’s PB Cup at the gas station, it could be months old. The seasonal ones are about as fresh as they get.

That was basically my dad, but at the meat counter at the local grocery. :(

There’s a podcast called Jobsolete that covers, as the name implies, obsolete jobs! It’s inactive now but they have an ok size catalog that it’s worth going back and listening.

It took me longer into my adulthood than I’d like to admit to learn to just shut up and keep it to myself when this happens.

I think the above comment was kind of blowing the comic out of proportion—I mean it’s a 4 panel comic it’s obviously not going to be able to give great nuance but I think it’s easy to read it as “proper” queerbaiting.

Anyway, the Wikipedia page has a good list of examples if you’re interested in mainstream examples.

Ones that stick out off the top of my head I’ve personally watched were Sherlock, and Teen Wolf and Rizzoli & Isles to a lesser extent.

Or Illinobee or Minisobee.

Yeah, at least for the dwarves that I imagine they’re not just about efficiency and quality but they really want things to look interesting and intricate. (Not that brutalism can’t be interesting but it is not finely detailed/intricate like dwarf work.)

Dwarves still have decoration, both in their craft and in their style. Braids, carving, etc. Brutalism does not have the intricate design dwarves seem to. It’s all big and blocky.

Libraries are free though!

selling its Israeli operation to a local businessman

But I assume this means the US company “Ben & Jerrys” doesn’t benefit from these sales any more. Unilever still benefits, but Ben & Jerrys as it stands does not. It’s just the name being used in Israel occupied territory.

That’s a big problem in makeup too! Companies want to put out “clean” and “natural” makeup but makeup isn’t typically used very quickly. Makeup with no preservatives going bad is common.
