types of stard
- mu
- ba
this is oddly close to real
‘ard’ is a real suffix in the english language just like ‘ly’ or ‘ify’, it just isnt common enough for us to notice its usage. ‘ard’ means ‘too much’ or ‘too easily’
so ‘mustard’ is something that is ‘too pungent’, just as ‘wizard’ is someone who is too wise, ‘coward’ is someone too easily cowed, and ‘drunkard’ is someone too often drunkthis implies that ‘bastard’ is someone who is too ‘bast’ and this needs experimentation and research
Are you fucking serious omg
This is pretty much correct. According to the OED bastard is from Old French and the bast- part means “pack saddle” which was used as a bed by mule drivers, giving the phrase fils de bast, a child conceived on the pack saddle instead of the marriage bed. In English it becomes bastard, the -ard being a pejorative. It is the same one as wizard and coward and drunkard.
be the bastard coward wizard you want to see in the world

fun funeral facts
- embalming, the process of chemically preserving a corpse, is typically not required by law. unless you need to transport the body long-distance or postpone the burial, it’s 100% a vanity thing.
- a body still rots in air-tight conditions. so “protective” or “sealed” caskets are basically a scam, and anything fancy like metal is a waste of money.
- want a beautiful casket for a viewing, but think burning or burying an expensive piece of hardwood is a waste of money and trees? rentals exist.
- you don’t need a coffin for cremation. the minimum requirement is that the body be in a “cremation container,” which is a simple cardboard box.
- home funerals are an option. you don’t need to hand the body over to a funeral home, and you can keep their involvement to a minimum.
- natural burial sites exist. you can have your unembalmed body straight up thrown in the dirt to be tree food, if you want.
- there are a lot of funeral homes that will prey on your ignorance and vulnerability in order to get as much money out of you as possible. they may imply optional certain services are legally mandatory, steer you away from cheaper options, charge additional costs for what’s supposed to be all-inclusive services, etc.
- one person’s death is another person’s profit. know your rights, do your research, and apply the same scrutiny you would to any other business.

Lyft’s IPO disclosure shows it’s not close to profitability and has no good way to get there
I fucking love too that idiots on reddit are like “Lyft and Uber have DESTROYED the sclerotic taxi aristocracy, long live innovation!” and despite the ironclad business model of offloading all costs onto drivers they STILL can’t turn a profit and STILL are only being kept alive through continuous infusions of VC cash.
The thing to understand here is that this was almost certainly part of their business plan from the beginning.
Their goal isn’t to turn a profit, it’s to make the population so reliant on their service that they’ll force city governments to either give them subsidies, or dismantle public transit so they can jack up their prices.
