Extremely common. I got into this unfortunate habit of hitting post and then editing typos afterward, and I think it increased the amount I do it by a lot.

This is normal . They think that saying hello to people you know is being polite and that polite people still don’t treat the people they hate badly. It’s not just women. I had a prolonged issue with a male coworker involving that.

My dad is still working on accepting that I’m not going to be able to work an enjoyable job in my life lol.

The AI doesn’t understand anything in any language. It’s just putting words in order by their association.

standard American big weekly trip + a few small trips, like a single bunch of spinach or a single carton of oat milk. American products are portioned to be family sized, so you’ve got a few days worth when you buy something.

It’s just part of our mating dance. It feels good and gets us in the mood.

Steal, guys. The word is steal.

I haven’t done any research into this idea, but I was thinking it could be a fair compromise to have unrestricted state visas . As in, the visa is only valid to live and work in that state. This would allow each state to flexibly respond to the labor needs of its economy each year. Then federal citizenship can be a restricted process, and limit migration to states that can’t utilize the extra labor.

But yeah they’ll probably come up with a massively insufficient increase and pretend it’s progress.

There isn’t a limit to filing them. There are a TON of limits to winning them though.

I answered the question, “If you had to commit a misdemeanor in 60s, what would you do?” and then used another account.

First one got overturned by the mod, but then the account got banned for ban evasion. When I didn’t break the rule in the first place. /shrug

Possibly, and you could possibly be injured while being arrested and then charged with committing some crime along the lines of interfering with law enforcement.

The actual way to fight immigration enforcement is to convince your neighbors that immigrants aren’t hurting them.

As long as we can connect to the outside world, it can’t be catastrophically restricted. We’ll just be more like viewers of social advancements instead of participants.

I set a resolution to go to the gym 100 times this year, and I predict there is no way in hell I’m hitting that.

I graduated at 26. It’s now 4 years later, and I had to literally use a calculator to count how old I was. I say this to emphasize how little I care now, in contrast to how embarrassed I was at the time. I am now in law school at 30. Most of the people around me are 3-5 years younger, and it doesn’t matter at all. Nobody treats me differently or excludes me. Lots of people change careers all of the time. The needs of the economy change and you do your best. Most people aren’t privileged enough to be insulated from the state of the economy. Sometimes people are unemployed, or experiencing health crises, or helping their family. We all have our own issues and run our own race, and it’s better to make progress than be stagnant.

There cannot be a 2nd civil war. We have a nationalized military. States do not have their own armies and they are not trying to raise them. We have nuclear weapons all around the country. We are past the point where civil war is possible. At best, a single city might try to barricade itself off.

This is so culturally dependent on the town. People have things they like to do already, just make those things available to them in a pleasant space.

As a law student, I wish I had the math skills and work ethic to become an accountant. Just a basic 40 hrs/week, make a living wage, and go home.

Social media in general attracts autistic people, because it’s much easier to socialize without being judged or excluded.

By definition Autism and ADHD are disabilities that negatively impact your life relative to other people.

It’s important to have a word to label what the issue is in a neutral way, because if you don’t use the word autism, you get called words like “weird,” “creepy,” “stupid,” or the r-word. When none of those things are true. Your brain just doesn’t intuitively understand things the way other peoples’ does.

The ADA defines a person with a disability as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity. Socialization is a major life activity. Loneliness is a major cause of depression of death, and not being able to socialize well impacts your ability to maintain employment. When these issues aren’t managed, your ability to function in society is significantly impaired.

To me, this post is no different from saying “You’re not dyslexic, you just needed to try harder in spelling class.” When people have an issue, telling them it doesn’t exist isn’t helpful.

If it were me, personally, I’d prioritize every effort on putting as many of the people who broke the law in jail as possible, especially via state courts, and remove everyone who acted in an authoritarian fashion who did not explicitly break the law. And when I say prioritize, I mean we’re cutting budgets from other departments to fund hundreds of more judges, hundreds of more investigators, hundreds of more prosecutors. Failing to do that was Biden’s biggest mistake. He wanted to govern with gentleman’s agreements and cordiality like a normal president. But the rules don’t exist unless they’re enforced, so it’s time to enforce them.
