it's really interesting seeing the "follow the science" crowd's reaction to this somehow they know better than the scientists that they really need these boosters

its always seemed strange to me that we just assume something didn't exist before a certain time just because that was the earliest artifact we've found so far. so much of ancient history which is assumed to be truth is really jus

that is bizarre to me. i text my family but it is a very different experience compared to catching up over the phone. i usually call my dad every week or 2 to talk for an hour or so. one day you might not be able to hear their voices anym

if voice calls were the only option perhaps your ability to deal with them would be stronger? its interesting that with the advent of tech, things that were required for participating in society are now suddenly impossible for so many

the entire premise of the article is literally about how those mean single family home owners prefer to keep single family zoning and how the california government is advancing a bill to go ahead and increase density anyway

zero covid is unrealistic. how are things gonna pan out when the hypothetical zero covid nation opens up to outside travelers?

Sure I get it, but these are people i worked with in person until last year. It just feels like with the remote working thing we are transforming from people into interchangeable virtual entities.

Not an idiom, but the latest dehumanizing thing ive started noticing is referring to people by their slack tags, even in direct messages. Now when my manager has an "ask" for me, instead of a DM with "Hi Name", i get &q
