It's a nice town. But it's so small you could almost miss it as you drove through.
Big font is because the people who need to read it the most - me - often overlook it.
I'm glad for it. I'm grateful the warning exists so I know I'm not debating actual news.
I'm just sad we lost him before he got a chance to really grow up.
Abortion is more complicated, but opponents would argue there's another life at stake, so from their moral framework, it's not purely personal either.
This is another issue I'm surprised we're still even debating.
Some here are being rude instead of engaging in better conversation.
People are tired. People still hold the feelings of frustration over the needless deaths, life-altering conditions and overworked medical staff who quit over the workload and aggressive and violent patients -- all of it needless, all of it prolonged needlessly by the ignorant people whose personal importance overshadowed their community obligations and risked the 1:1000000 with actual issues and others who needed to rely on 'herd' immunity.
You know this. You saw this. You MUST understand this. Some of us lost friends and family, and in the last months of it we knew those lost would have been safe if the ignorant gits actually took their medicine. We hear the logic of the anti-vaxxer, we hear how it sounds like a drunk driver saying "but I need to drive home", and we see anti-vaxxers who avoided the single most tested set of vaccines as the same as those negligent, homicidal drunks.
We're not rude intentionally. We're frustrated and tired at explaining something as simple as "trees are wood" to people retorting with "needles are scary so let the others die". We're annoyed we had to say it twice, let alone all the hundred of times after. And now someone says "but I'm important and I know more than doctors" and we aren't at our best in that moment.
But how is "I see the point of anti-vax narcissists" not just trolling by now?
There's probably a parrot older than that, somewhere.
And there it will stay, until fucking Autumn.
Sorry, the issue is size? Like, "we can't fit into these clothes so we're gonna go Jabba the Hut", all naked and corpulent?

Having illiterate people copy-editing at Newsweek is a bold move.
Bone apple tea, right?
2 day wfh allowance
So
- staff has to locate nearby
- new applicants must be nearby
- everyone needs a car
- the office doesn't offset any of this
- but 2 days you get to be home and productive. Woo!
Someone needs to be fired. Pick the guy who talks about 'organic conversations', as if water cooler chat and constant interruptions are the true medium for knowledge sharing, or the sexist git who forces Linda to shop for office clothing where Gavin skates with khaki and a polo, and raise the average EQ with a quick meeting.
Soviet Bloc Block Housing
Yep, 35 storeys and 400 units of plain beige whatever.
But you're missing the value of the modern mixed-use building. They just finished one nearby and it's insane:
- ground-floor light commercial - a pizza place, a daycare and I think a pet store in there so far
- parking is secure and underground, with a loading bay,
- 2 floors of professional - physios and notaries and some ad-hoc wework space
- 30 floors of apartments
- an entire floor of guest space - airBnB units, essentially - and common play-space.
All these pictures are accurate as I remember from the tour:
The units will look more familiar if you've been to Northern Europe, but a bit bigger. We looked at a 1150sqft 3bd unit with huge triple-pane windows and - 2024 building code - A/C built-in. If you don't count a garage - underground parking - the bigger ones are like small ranchers stacked on one another -- in concrete, so you don't notice you have neighbours.
They're not Bloc blocks; they put a few of these together and they have a small city.
He would have hurt his own reputation but might have saved the country from the disaster we are in now.
So - back when decorum was a thing - you'd ask him to break the rules, just to prevent something that was caused by voters anyway?
Nope.
The child of your once and future rulers.
Losing snap is an upgrade.
There a lot of stuff tossed for food safety reasons that we'd normally just accept and go.
America is the most litigious country, and I can't fault the bizarre things people now have to do because their legal team doesn't want lawsuit repeats.

It's the difference between "what's up Chuck" and a question about vomit.
Oooh. I can see that being a favourite in the voting, but not on the field.
