Ma agency must be protected no matter the cost!

So one to two hundred dollars for a pre made sandbox setting should be no problem right??? I'm sure those players won't mind chipping in!

Food for thought: Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife — chopping off what's incomplete and saying: "Now it's complete because it's ended here."

You might be thinking, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

But hear me know and believe me later (or, as I tell people lending me money, believe me now and hear from me ... maybe) - You can have Derek.

Mama Snarf always told me, "Listen you up good, Snarf. People should get what they want, good and hard. Teaches them to stop wantin' and hopin'. Now. get yer Mama some of that Cool Colt 45 they got on sale- the minty taste of the malt liquor pares perfectly with the gasoline notes of Mr. Boston vodka."

So, topic to think about.

If someone calls you a foodie, is that an insult or a compliment?

Obviously, people call themselves whatever they want. And context always matters. Although some terms don't require context.*

But I was pondering this issue recently (it happened because I saw a job position listed than mentioned that foodies would it. And it reminded me of a viral story from a few years ago of a police department that was recruiting "Gamers", "Influencers", "Techies", and "Foodies."

I remember when the term was still rare, and then it was ubiquitous, and then there was pushback. So I am throwing this out for general discussion-

Someone calls someone else a foodie.

Three questions**-

1. Without more, do you consider that a compliment or an insult?
2. If you called someone that, how are you using it?
3. If someone called you that, how are you using it?
4. Finally, what context (if any) would you need to make a determination?



*Bless your heart- context required. Bless your cotton socks? Not so much.
Karen? Usually you don't need context, unless it's, um, someone's name.

**I refuse to abide by the petty limits I make! Take that, me!

I take it as a compliment, even when used as a slur.

I think when people say "foodie," they usually mean "food snob."
Fortunately in my case, both are true.

Take your laugh, and feel terrible!

Q. Why was Heisenberg known to be such a notoriously bad lover?

A. Whenever Heisenberg got the momentum, he couldn't find the position, and when he found the position, he just couldn't muster up the momentum.

I can think of a raunchier corollary about Schrodinger’s love life…
