unfortunately, "4-20" has much more of a ring than "20-of-4"

also it starts a turf war when you challenge the American date format

I use water to escape the emotional state of feeling dehydrated. and I exercise to escape the emotional state of wishing I was more physically healthy.

just throwing around the "addiction" term like this is extremely damaging to yourself and those who suffer from real addictions

I've got a problem with articles like this: "The guy who got it right once is betting a second time he's going to get it right". and then the article continues: "Even though he's got it wrong a bunch of times since, he got it right that one time... So this has gotta be his second time!!"

Why don't y'all just do this everywhere? I mean, it's not that hard. Just make it a fun tiktok meme and there's bound to be enough trigger-happy Guardsmen to make a point.

"Why don't you rise up against them?" Well... because that's scary

"Why don't you do more nonviolent protests?" Well... because that requires us to do something and we'd rather sit on our couch

Ah. makes sense now

"Three New Tricks For Identifying If Your House Has Collapsed"

Christian Science as well. It's eerie how many overlaps they have with Mormons: founded by a single person (Mary Baker Eddystone), have a book they treat as scripture (Science and Health), believe they are the "one true way", and tell people to "pray to know if the book [and the religion] is true"

So eerie, in fact, that it was the final nail in the head (so to speak) that allowed me to leave Mormonism for good

My partner is in her 30s, works 4 days as a school teacher, and just bought her first house in London. It's possible!

(I don't need to add that I'm in tech and have a very convenient salary, since that's not at all related, right?)

Your second point is really difficult for me as a parent with a new kid. Feels like we "know" so much more about serial killers / bad things that happen to kids that we're terrified of letting them do anything.

Of course in this case it would have been trivially solved by the city just adding sidewalks, but that feels like another point here.

You know why they "tombstone"? (By the way, they don't replace with a tombstone marker but instead add the marker.)

Because if you "accidentally" deleted something and then decided you wanted it back, you'd get really mad if they couldn't do that. If they immediately deleted it, you couldn't ever get it back

The copies and deep copies are for a similar reason: Some engineer accidentally deletes a bunch of data, it's really nice to have a backup so you don't lose everything.
