Rip off degrees? Who's going to teach children how to read, write, communicate, understand contracts and laws, be part of British society?!

I hope this isn't too snobbish, but watching network TV as a deep family tradition ...really??

A deep family tradition? The den in Pittsburgh? I feel claustrophobic.

Empire isn't really the issue here.

Well, that red is very red. If the shoe fits....

Decay-dent

Self indulgence is self-love.... but I was using decadence to imply voluntary failure. If you see what I mean.

None of those. It has been said that the US is currently in a decadent phase.

Some experiences are quite subjective. It may be that two people respond differently to the same event. And our feelings about work can change over time...

I've seen some pics of the red robes with black hats.

Is decadence a form of self-hatred? Asking for some friends.

I had the same feeling of trepidation! Whew.

They debuted a new look on Monday…. "a modern and simple design that echoes our commitment to openness and accessibility in a way that is distinctly Canadian.” 🙂‍↔️

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Yep. I'm really sorry that happened. Hope he's recovering from the emotional and physical trauma. OUCH.

Is it possible your friend felt that the scooter was safe because it’s not a car? I’m not trying to create panic around things that are not cars, but I have sympathy for people disoriented by the proliferation of new, motorized private vehicles. It’s a lot to keep up with.

I’m not sure they’re truly regulated in some parts of the US.

True. I guess that’s why I never leave!

Fair. But cars are regulated, which is wise, given the speed they can travel at. And e bikes/scooters may require similar. Also, I don’t know if cars are just accepted anymore? Maybe it depends where you are.

Quite thoughtful, multilayered

True! But, as you well know, hidden pockets of whatever in this part of town! I don't want to over generalize, but.

I’m curious to know what divorce is like for someone born in those years, because laws and social norms have changed, and divorce is a rite of passage for many people. But I guess we’ll find that individual psychology or personality plays a big role too.

Also, “I think I lost my virginity to it.“ (A Brahms concerto.) “The goings-on! It’s very good.”

The end of an era. Even if you didn’t read romance novels, she was a reassuring presence, and I for one always wanted to hear her thoughts…. RIP Jilly Cooper.

And worse things than wursts, from time to time, but I believe or hope that's in the past.

Yes. We are not alone in our eccentricty. In the crazy north, red means centrist managerial establishment, orange is labourism, and blue signifies some very strange stuff indeed.

Ich bin ein upper east sider. Are we 100% sure of that? This is the land of lederhosen and wursts round here.
