What is grey, then?

40% of eligible voters stay home and cry about our unfair election system in the U.S . While feeling smug about letting unchecked fascism take over as a consequence.

Thankfully, they saved Palestine by not voting for Kamala Harris!

cyclists die more often per km cycled on the sidewalk than on the road.

Really? That surprises me. Do you have a source for that?

You can have social media accounts without explicitly sharing your personal information.

Yes, they can infer a lot of info about you. But you don’t need to use those accounts for sharing pictures of yourself, for example.

Not in the US, but my mom works for a really bad union whose greatest accomplishment seems to be giving employees paid 15-minute breaks every 4 hours or so.

The union talks big about protecting employees, but really only protects them the way that an HR department would.

I think almost everyone misunderstood what you were getting at. To be fair, it was pretty confusing.

You’re saying “Cyclists are told to be on the road. Cyclists aren’t protected as well as drivers are. Why should bikes be on the road if that’s the case?”

That has nothing to do with what I said.

I thought the rhetoric in the US was that immigrants cross the border on land.

Along those lines, Kim’s Convenience! Except the last season when the writers gave up or something

skill issue

If it were the only option, I’d gladly take it.

I rely on robots to do a lot of other things in my life, directly and indirectly.

Well, not many directly. But machines, definitely.

Definitely needed the /s there. I’m sure you saw the 3 or so other comments who were explaining why Valve are good guys, lol

Our fast food isn’t really fast, either. I’m not sure what the appeal is aside from known consistency, I guess.

I meant just making a spreadsheet and doing it manually. But if you have technical skills, you really just need to make a script that sticks data from your bank’s CSV files into a spreadsheet.

“impacts” has been in my vocabulary for as long as I remember, and it’s common to use it that way. The dictionaries even have that definition.

I’m not afraid of language evolving.

There are tools for nailing things and tools for killing things.

If it’s making you so angry, it might be better to just do it yourself.

It’ll also help you spend less because you won’t want to log all those little transactions

In Canada, our fast food obsession is making fast food as expensive as sit-down restaurants.

But it’s still cheaper because you aren’t expected to tip.

But the people at fast food restaurants and at sit-down restaurants are paid the same amount hourly, so it doesn’t really make sense. But we tip like Americans because culture and habit are hard to change.

But the fast food payment terminal still “gives you the opportunity” to tip

If media can say “slammed” to mean “said something about”, I can use “impacted” to mean “affected”. Especially when we have the word “impactful”.

I’m actually not a man, believe it or not. The other women in my life have taught me to be that way as well.

Damn. I wonder if it’s a cultural thing. Sometimes women are told to keep it inside, too. It’s never exclusive to one gender.

Later is better than never. So keep looking towards the future.

You might find some helpful resources online in the meanwhile. Mindfulness and, in particular, emotional intelligence might be two key phrases to look into.
