“Probably just some meat that fell behind the counter, honey. It’ll go away on its own in a few months.”
“Can’t daddy just get it?”
“… no.”
Bone room could absolutely be something else.

I use it as “take it with a grain of salt, I’m not putting any weight on this”.
“Hello 911? It’s me, teacher. … Yeah. … Yeah, yeah, yeah, another one. … Okay, see you in a minute.”
I have mixed feelings about this thread.

That’s all well and good, but Asterix is a satirical comic book making a point about wage slavery, not happy slaves. The author is French, the story in France, and the slaves are Roman.
And I might have imagined the re-enslaving, too. I can’t find it in plot summaries. Maybe it’s in the movie adaptation, but the scene of their “freeing” is pretty clear about its point.
Asterix did a great bit on that. Slaves are freed and put to work for money, but suddenly they owe for food, housing, clothing, infrastructure etc. and are just as much slaves as before. In fact, they go back to being slaves because then they don’t have to worry anymore.
That part would just be ignored by the masses. “It’s a numbers game, bro!”
It went the way it usually goes if anything is used exclusively as a subject of speculation. NFTs were meant to represent things, but people inscribed “value” in the representation instead. As if the housing market suddenly exploded the day someone invented writing its owner on a piece of paper.
And a system change to boot. This is a symptom.
But also not every idea is worth listening to. Sometimes they are a waste of time, and people who have argued in bad faith in the past don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I only read to the point of personality cult and it was obvious.
The new season is just as good.
