Tokyo Ghoul theory: ghouls can eat any beans, because beans are humans.
Pythagoras (the guy who didn't invent Pythagoras' theorem) famously believed that beans were humans, and that's why neither he nor his cult ate them.
If beans are indeed humans, then ghouls would be able to eat them. This would explain why they would be able to drink coffee, since it's made with coffee beans.
Why wouldn't they eat other bean types though? Perhaps they never tried it, assuming they were the same as other "human food", and that it would still taste disgusting.
Maybe some philosophy nerd ghoul had this theory a while ago and tried to eat beans, but they accidentally bought kidney beans and then cooked them improperly and poisoned themself.
Perhaps that ghoul was Rize and this happened like a month before the show and the fact that it "didn't work" why Rize was so depressed and started binge eating (I don't know if there's a canon explanation for the binge eating, I'm not far along enough in the manga)

I can understand how "modern person thrown into the past gets by pretending to be a healer/doctor" is as surprisingly common of a trope as it is. I mean I'm fluent enough at bullshitting to be pretty sure I could pull it off to impersonate a doctor in any time pre-1800s. If I have no idea what something is or how to treat it, I could just get the opinion of the other whatever-passes-as-medical-professionals around, but if their suggestions sound like bullshit I'm not doing it. And I'll beat the shit out of anyone suggesting bloodletting or mercury. With my healing stick. I've tied little bells on it, that jingle comically with every smack.
The awesome curative powers of my healing stick come from two separate sources: Placebo, and me using it to beat anyone trying to give my patients mercury.

Maybe be shouldn’t be praising trickle down bullshit actions and instead we should advocate for more stimulus checks for normal people

Trump is constantly trying to take credit for Biden and Democrats' achievements.

If you're ever upset by how many small businesses are being destroyed in the LA protests remember how many more were destroyed by the IDF in Gaza

Memory foam is such a stupid name like it doesn't remember shit. It just springs back into its original form no matter what you do. It should be called amnesia foam

Honestly I kinda figured they were just being waylaid by the IDF, who were talking to a worker on the boat and explaining the situation to the crew, and she had caught word of it. It's unlikely that they would just be able to ninja on up to Thunberg's boat and black bag her, more likely they knew the IDF was coming in advance
"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel." (X)

As a computer science major this is very very not good
PolSci majors, what does it mean when judges want their own security service because the official security services are more loyal to a felon rapist than they are to the rule of law?

This argument becomes a lot less convincing when you remember that the law is "you can't carry objects between different private properties on Shabbat (sabbath)" and the definitely-not-a-loophole is "aha but what if we ritually designate everything as public property but only for the purpose of this one commandment"
Davar Acher, one of our most famous stories is one in which God coming down himself and declaring what the spirit of the law is, and the rabbis being like "nuh-uh that's not what you wrote in the Torah so we're going to do that instead".
Judaism is absolutely meant to ritualize rule-following for some unknowable divine purpose. Or at the very least, it was. Certain modern denominations do reject this idea in favor of a more community-focused faith (which is commendable, and I admire it as an Atheist Jew even if I decline to participate).
However, these loopholes predate this particular flavor of Judaism, so the fact that it retroactively changes their meanings does not mean that they aren't loopholes.
There's this really frustrating goyish idea that Jews are always finding "loopholes" or "tricks" to violate the "spirit of the law" when it comes to observing Jewish law. No, they're following Jewish law. All ways in which one can follow the law are equally "in the spirit of the law" because the law's purpose is to be followed. The idea that finding easier ways to observe religious rules means "tricking" god or doing something otherwise shameful is reflective of Christian philosophy. Suffering is not virtuous in Judaism. Penance is not the purpose of Jewish law. Judaism is meant to enrich the current lives of its community, not ritualize hardship for some unknowable divine purpose.

1 is a dark blue baby boy
2 is green, confident and stable
3 is red, and is a chaotic-aligned teenager with a penchant for breaking into things, he is also the youngest of the three odd number brothers
4 is a young yellow girl
5 is purple. He's the middle child of the odd number trio and likes to party
6 is 4's mom. She's maternal and yellow, but slightly darker than 4.
7 is dark purple. He's the cool older brother of the three odd number brothers and can always be found leaning up against a wall.
8 is 6's sister and 4's aunt. She likes putting on stylish hats and spending time with 4. She is dark gold when alone but when around dark numbers (e.g. 1) she becomes brighter, almost as bright as 6.

Worth noting they weren't okay, though. They worked long hours and had little food. Living as a German during Nazism also meant no consumerism, and it is at that stage of the fascist takeover—not unions being busted, not people being sent to concentration camps, but the removal of consumerism—that people are most likely to riot.
Of course, by then it will likely be too late. There will be no one left to speak for them
does anyone have that quote that goes something like 'white germans under the nazis lived just fine as long as they were loyal to the state, gave their children to the army, and paid their taxes, and in this sense many americans would be comfortable living under fascism' trying to find who said it but google is giving me jack shit
