It's been a while since I read Ender's Game, but I seem to recall that their "Internet" had a realtively strict identity and accountability protocol. Didn't they have to be sneaky to protray themselves as the personalities they posted as? I remember them being aftraid of being exposed.
I don't know how much the cost of storage plays into it, it's not like you pay a different amount depending on how much food your store. I mean, the cost is subjective. Half of my basement is storage for canned and dried food stuffs. I don't consider it expensive inventory, some other people would I'm sure.
I've known many people who spend many hours per week collecting, organizing and planning their coupon strategies. They go to different stores at different times for different things to get the best savings. And they often can reduce a grocery bill by 75, 80, 90 percent. But, jeez, seems like a lot of work to me. I'd rather do other things but it sounds like it's sort of a hobby for them.
I actually did go to the link. I thought it was semi-serious, at least, and they were trying to show that certain kinds of cookies we all think are Girl Scout cookies actually aren't. That's why I couldn't follow.
@grmachnie "And people wonder why the average North American is overweight!"
This has very little to do with why so many people are overweight. Sedentary lifestyles with garbage food and sweetened beverages are your main culprits.
In fact, most fat people aren't even very good at pig-out challenges.
I'd try it. I always try to examine that initial aversion you sometimes get to new things like eating bugs, organs, different parts of an animal. Like why will some people eat a steak but have an aversion to trying the tongue? Or people will eat lobster but get grossed out by frog's legs.
Hell, I'd try it straight from the source if she'd let me.
I've had lots of cats, dogs and pets from childhood on up. Some were intrigued with their reflection and others couldn't care less. I wonder why it is that some cats/dogs seem to think the reflection is another animal, some seem to recognize it as themselves, and others don't even seem to see the reflection at all.
I've always thought it was paradise. I love the smell of farms (properly managed that is). Dirt, manure and urine never bothered me. To me, nothing feels better than a long day of physical work.
It's true, the Catholic church has become a bit of a whipping boy lately. However, the secretive and destructive way that church leaders dealt with decades of documented and systematic sexual abuse of children leaves me without much sympathy. For every childhood ruined, perhaps the Catholic church can just deal with 100 years of negative internet comments.

Where does the fake cookies come in? Do they mean buying the store sold cookies or making your own? Seems pretty weak.

I didn't have enough money to eat yesterday, so I classified my $5 bill to a $50 bill and ate like a king!
