I can't see it because it can't see me.

I've been working from home for 10 years. The COVID break my daughter had was the first time I can remember NOT getting a Cold since literally ever. I'm masking more when I travel for work and I look forward to when more of us realize the benefits.

I'm not sure Texas is thinking this through. We'd build a wall and make them pay for it...

Not OP, but I think we'd be friends. I want left (no pun intended) alone to live my own life, but I don't think people should be left to die because of the machine we're in. I believe your rights extend to the point they interact with mine and vice versa. You're rights can't prevent mine and vice versa.

Did nobody tell these assholes the absolutely #1 rule? You DO NOT fuck with American ships... Keep this shit up, and things are going to get real "proportional" around here...

We're on the same page re: mental healthcare. I was trying to convey I'm glad the stigma around it less and less with each generation, but we still have a ways to go.

You're right, and you're going to get downvoted for it. We have an inequality problem masking as a gun problem. We have a mental health crisis masking as gun problem.

Possible solutions to these situations aren't fast and they don't stir up emotions enough to get people to vote for you. Riling people up and telling them you can fix their problems fast gets votes; saying we have work to do doesn't.

The stigma against mental healthcare won't be gone in my child's generation, but I am happy to see it is being accepted more than it was for mine. Of course, not thinking poorly of people for taking care of themselves doesn't matter if people can't afford to...

My initial reaction is "fucking gross", but that's only because Google Maps has taught me what map colors should be. I'm old enought to have used a book-based atlas even before Yahoo Maps was popular, but young enough I don't remember what that coloring was.

While I do find it harder to understand what is going on with the map, esp while driving, I'd be interested in reading more into why they made the change. So fucking help me God if this is just some graphic artists idea of what looks better...

The numbers being low on business travel shocked me; I work for a remote-first company and we augment that by getting together every quarter. I hardly travelled pre-pandemic. I figured other companies that are staying remote were doing something similar.

I'm extra shocked to see this in NJ; it is one of only two states where you are not allowed to pump your own gas. Efforts to change pump laws have been massively unfavorable because, among other things, they create jobs.

Neat if it happens, but it won't change any opinions. Those already anti-Trump will point to it as another example of how corrupt Trump is and those already pro-Trump will point to it as an example of how the government is out to get him.

I fell asleep during it in the theater. It was so insanely boring.
