I know it's for advertising but there's a paranoid little corner of my mind that imagines insurance companies paying for some of these, uh, "user insights."

Sometimes I wonder if the people who work at Reddit have ever heard of Reddit.

Although completely reasonable, I fear that your conclusion is inaccessible for most folks.

And as a pedestrian, I'm all for a system that's capable of reducing distracted driving.

This feels like reading a language that you only kinda know.

I switched from from beer to flavored carbonated water. This was 18 years ago though and the options were pretty limited back then. Mostly it was just artificially sweetened garbage. I'd rather just have a club soda and add my own fruit or juice to taste. But these days it's just easier to buy Polar or whatever.

Lol. That one makes me strip a gear.

I'm so square I didn't even know that 196 went back to Reddit.

Thank you.

Ok so in defense of dumbasses, we don't always understand the question. Eg, whose left? In those cases we don't want to make your clarify the question and drag things out, so we give you what we hope is an unequivocally clear response. It comes from a deep-seeded fear of miscommunication resulting in too many mailboxes with their flags on the wrong side or whatever. We apologize for the pedantry, though. I get that it's annoying.

Months after joining I still cannot decipher the rule thing. Can you please tell me?

One of the top 100 reasons I left.

Except weren't they were claiming that mail-in ballots were potentially fraudulent for months before the election? This video doesn't disprove anything if they claimed that ballots that had already been cast were illegal.

One key to happiness for me is to start from the assumption that I've been unclear.

When the time comes to study further, Brené Brown's Atlas of the Heart is an incredibly useful and approachable resource. It is basically a glossary of common emotions, but they're grouped by similarities and described with her charm and wisdom.

I've only heard that second one in Swedish. I don't know if it's originates from Sweden, but it rhymes.

Ah ok. Thank you. I think I was getting stuck on the timing, which did not seem particularly relevant.

Agreed. I'm just pointing out that people need to focus on the latter rather than the former.

That's the part that I don't think is a strong argument though. They were crying fraud long before the election, e.g., saying that mail-in ballots were illegal, claiming people were stuffing drop-off, etc. None of it was valid, but their argument was well established before election day.

Thanks for the link. That was a really good read. Even better on Doctorow's own site, I think, because of all the extra links he provides.
