Even the Minifig version is just, "Outside of a Nike Store, I don't know who'd own this." It's objectively an interesting set, but I just don't know who would look at this set and say, "Yes, I'd like this in my home." Maybe a sneakerhead and lego enthusiast? I don't know the overlap.

It’s interesting when the exaggeration of pornography reaches the inflection point to where normal people no longer recognize it as porn. I understand that the woman with boobs as large as a building is meant to be “hot” but frankly, it just looks like hot air balloons taped to someone’s chest.

There is (thankfully) an overabundance of caution when it comes to food labeling (especially with heavy metals). So, maybe don’t eat potentially contaminated foods all day every day. But “as a treat” you’re typically fine. If it was even slightly dangerous it’d be pulled from the shelves.

Okay, so the bad news is, yes there might be a little bit of lead in it. But the good news is, the detection levels are typically so astronomically low that, while not “safe” (NO lead is safe) it’s more likely than not such a small amount won’t have long term health effects.

People trust the USD because they believe that, by and large, bankers will try to balance economic policy for their own benefit. Which MOSTLY aligns with the public good. The 2008 bailouts were what happens when their goals and the public good are NOT aligned.

It’s rather concerning that private interests are in control of our banking sector and fiscal policies. But, the relative independence of some of the worst people you can imagine attempting to maximize value for their own companies does lead to a lot of external trust for the USD.

if you’re willing to throw another population under the bus to save yourself, you’re not actually willing to fight fascism. fascism isn’t a bear, it can’t be escaped by simply outrunning someone slower than you. the only way it can be defeated is through solidarity.
