>But without the pressure of having to be up on a schedule, 99.99% of the time if I went to bed at 11pm I'll be up at about 6:30am or 7am without an alarm and feel good about it. For me it's even a step further, because with no

Even using who an account follows incentivizes echo chambers, more than they already are. I specifically follow a few locals that I would often notice upset with the same politicians that I was, but for diametrically different reasons. Even

That not being the case is the system that got the housekeeper her job though. It's probable that she knows that "not paying the foreigner tax on food" is part of the value she brings, and that overly messing with that system

This might also be a small town to major city thing, but I have about as many channels OTA now as we had with pre-satellite basic cable twenty plus years ago.

> So, yes, you are absolutely right, technically I have been mispronouncing it for almost two decades. I think by this point it's just as correct to say you have been correctly pronouncing the English loanword.

Franchise adoption has been scattered though, up until about a year only about half of my local McDonalds would take orders through the app.

Facebook removes the offending posts in this case, yes? If someone on my friend's list says something offensive on one of my posts, I think I'd rather see it and address it myself rather than have Facebook sweep it away.

I'm not saying that people are moving from more expensive mountain town to the city, I'm saying that having wealth does not automatically make you want to move to an urban environment. Especially since the sort of jobs that are st

I mean, it's not A Modest Proposal, but Onion articles are still actually article length. I know most people just read and share the headline, but they're still taking the time to do full write-ups.

You can only pile straw on the camel for so long. People will tolerate small problems to a great extent, but not infinitely.

When someone calls a situation sad, the author is the human experiencing the emotion. It's a pretty common English phrase construction.

I've never seen a side-window designed for a view, just smaller higher windows designed for light.

My last experience with LA transit was finding a very convenient train to go over and hang out in Santa Monica for a day of that trip, and then having to spend way too much on an Uber back because the trains stopped surprisingly early.

The most dystopian version of this I've seen if my friend's old apartment outside San Diego. It was just a strip of land between two freeways with an exit, a McDonald's, Starbucks, and Food 4 Less. And the apartment complex.

I've seen enough ghost town courtyards to know they don't change everything. If the building is completely devoid of any sense of community otherwise, the courtyard just feels like being in the spotlight of a bunch of strangers. I

I'm with you up to this weird high-earners fixation. Who exactly is working in those coffee shops?
