You have to be more specific with kids sometimes. Remember that they’re having to learn all the basic things about language we already know. I remember when my little brother was a toddler and he was playing with the flippy lid on my uncle’s garbage can. My uncle yelled “Steven! Get your butt outta my garbage can!” My brother looked at him confused and looked back at the can and started flipping it again. My uncle yelled at him again with the same response and then asked my mom why he won’t listen. My mom then said “Steven, take your hands out of the garbage can.” And he immediately understood what that meant and stopped doing it.

I didn’t interpret this as it’s bad to make people come to the office that physically need to be there or that it’s judging them for not taking PTO. I interpreted this as a cringe showboat where they try to show how cool it is to be in the office and everyone should love being in the office. The commentnand response at the bottom about the open floorplan say it all.

Sounds a lot like med school, or the lady who sewed to cancel student loan forgiveness. People suck.

Yes it is. As a resident, I can attest that the corn is growing about damn near everywhere.

Agree. I’ve seen lots of nice landscaping in Arizona where most people don’t have lawns. If they can figure it out, anyone can.

Most cars come equipped with a sim card these days and there’s lots of news about how car companies are sending data about your driving habits to insurance providers. So um… Yeah.

I decided during COVID to try to work on my health in whatever way I could get to stick. And I think flossing was my most successful endeavor. I did 2 things that really helped me ease into the habit: 1) I bought a water pik 2) I thought about what it is that keeps me from flossing and I let those things go. So I started off just using the water pik. I did that for about a year and sometimes I would forget, but I’d just hop back on it next time. Just doing this alone helped me to physically feel the difference in my mouth and after a bit, I didn’t like how it felt if I forgot. After about a year I started using floss and this brings me to the things I needed to let go. I needed to learn how to use floss properly, but growing up poor, I would often get in trouble for using too much of something including floss. But some of my teeth are tight and I need a longer piece to get enough leverage. I also don’t like being wasteful and didn’t like using longer pieces especially since it’s plastic waste. I decided to let all of those things go and just use big ass pieces of floss so I could learn how to do it properly. This helped a ton and over time as I got better, I used the water pik less and less and now primarily use floss every night. And now that I’ve learned how, I can use smaller pieces and also have switched to a more environmentally friendly floss. I would say this process took me about 2 years, but I don’t have issues at the dentist anymore like bleeding gums or metal tools jabbing at me. It’s made a big difference and helped me to look at other problems in a similar light: what’s stopping me from doing this and how can I remove those barriers?

There’s plenty Id really like to watch on Apple TV. In fact, I watched Severance using my parents account while they had it temporarily. But now that I’ve tried it, I know that there’s no point in me getting it because they make it as hard as possible to watch anything if you don’t have specific devices. Literally all the other streaming services make it stupid easy to watch what you want using any device. But Apple still has a decades old stick up their ass about proprietary bullshit and they want you to get an iPhone for the simplest experience. I have loads of different devices and I ended up using an old MacBook with chrome to cast the browser to my TV. And that was really annoying and I’m not about to pay for that experience. You want my money? Make it easy. It’s that simple.

While that is true, there are 2 things to unpack here: 1. Typically housing is zoned in different locations to businesses so this has no correlation. 2. This map is so big that none of those stores are actually in Chicago. They are all in the suburbs and it would literally take you 1.5 - 3 hours to get from the southern most one to the northern most one. They’re all a lot farther apart than you may realize.

I just want a picture of a got dang hotdog!

I dream of a day when the locker scene from Starship Troopers becomes reality and men and women who fight alongside one another can share a locker room without complication. Or like… Maybe world piece would be cool too and people wouldn’t have to fight at all?

It’s ok to eat them if you cook them. Maybe make yourself some delicious caramelized onions!
