Omg if you work hard and get promoted you could get a cubicle with a view of the plant! That’s my dream!

Opening the blinds in the morning. My cat and I both bask in the sun for a few seconds before continuing with our day.

Yes but the purpose of the date isn’t just to go through the motions of a typical date. It’s to get to know each other. I expect a person to suggest a place they like, and that tells me something useful and opens the conversation.

Alright but surely you understand that a lot of people were being exploited and this is a good change for them?

You forgot to sign your comment.

People can turn on a dime, I’ve seen it happen. It’s especially infuriating because a lot of these men’s friends will only know the good version of them and refuse to believe they’re capable of being dicks.

It’s not just good acting, it’s that some men genuinely aren’t capable of treating a partner like a person and not a thing. So they can be nice to people they consider people, or to partners who are behaving they way they deem is correct. But the second you’re dating and something doesn’t fit their narrative of how things should play out, the claws come out.

I believe they were referring to the use of AI.

When something was “dry” it meant it was bad. Never heard it again after I finished middle school.

It’s technically a work of fiction but The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin can maybe be considered an anarchist book. It does a deep delve into an anarchist society and how it could theoretically be organized. In my opinion it could also be interpreted as a critique, but I think it’s stronger for it.

I am growing quite sick of living in interesting times…

I’d much rather know if I should expect ice or wet pavement outside than whatever 1 degree F is. What’s the difference to me, functionally, between 0 and 1 degrees F?

And 100 degrees F could be a nice day or an absolute hell depending on humidity. So it’s still not useful.

You just think it makes more sense because it’s what you are used to.

Chernobyl. It’s absolutely not relaxing but it reminds me that my problems are small and surmountable.

80-95 going to housing and making sure your family is eating well is extremely reasonable. That’s the whole point of the money. That’s not kindness, that’s making sure your kids have a good life and it’s a major goal that most people strive for and would be happy to achieve.

You’re assuming men will be the only ones searching for straight porn.

But straight women exist…

Maybe the “lawyer” they used hadn’t passed their bar exam yet.

You can embellish facts in a written report to make it sound like the police acted professionally at all times. Bodycam footage tells its own story so they don’t want to release it if they can avoid it.

Absolutely.

There are many people who are very blind but not completely so (e.g. really can’t see anything at a distance). They may be able to operate well in a lab environment.

There are people whose mental health issues are rare or can often be prevented with a service animal. Their “breakdowns” are likely not destructive anyway, so no real risk to the lab itself.

Service animals also sometimes help to warn that someone is about to have a seizure, so they can go somewhere safe.
