You sound like someone prioritizing their own convenience over the safety of others.

Furthermore public transit teaches you how to live with temporary minor annoyances and cars teach you that you're god's most special baby and your moment-to-moment comfort is the only important thing in the world

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesnโ€™t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

I don't want to be over the top, but I hate Joe Rogan with all my heart and wish only terrible things to happen to him for the rest of his life

What leaders can learn from how Julius Caesar won followers and managed rivals One of the secrets to Julius Caesar's success was the way that he developed and marketed a personal brand based on values and delivering on these values.

Stop me if I am off base, here, but: Not sure that we want to learn how to manage our business rivals from *checks notes to make sure* a man assassinated by his rivals? www.management-issues.com/opinion/7761...

I mean, you should not be citing primary sources *you have not seen* without saying "Cited in." ๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ

It is hella annoying when people cite sources I found & translated from an archival source - while using *my translation & not mentioning me*. So I don't want my students to do that to others!

OMG YES. To me, this is tantamount to plagiarism.

I also think when quoting, one really should include both the original and translated texts.

We even say โ€œno giftsโ€ at my kidโ€™s birthday parties (from the other kids, not the close adults in her life). We donโ€™t need 50 new toys every year. Itโ€™s been very popular!

If you park on the sidewalk you should be summarily executed.

Trumpโ€™s fantasy of having one of his apparently uncontrollable liquid shits land on the American flag

I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where heโ€™s a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

people who earnestly try to argue that blocking certain accounts deprives u of important opposing viewpoints are assuming these certain accounts are posting in good faith
which is a dangerous assumption tbh
