  • I don’t know about you guys, but the teeth an my zipper are lined up ahaid of time and “traveling” the same speed. I would be fine with zipper merge if that where the case, but every time i am in the open lane and the other one closes there are 10 jerks who sped to the end and now feel i should have to come to a full stop and let all 10 get in front. Also, my zipper gets joined at the botom and the “merge” point travels back up the the path. we are all going to sqeeze into one lane anyway. Don’t care where it happens as long as everyone maintains speed. If you expect me to stop my lane so 10 can come from yours we have a problem.



  • perhaps, but as a scuba instructor, I am tired of people saying the underwater sign language for “OK” means white power. Context matters. There still should be some effort to understand the intent of the sender, and not just assume the preconceptions of the receiver are the intent. Somone deciding a word or symbol I have been using for my lifetime suddenly means something else does not change my intent. When a Hindu puts a swastika on their house it clearly does not mean the same thing as when a Nazi does. When a spanish art teacher refers to black paint…etc, etc… In cases like this, I think we have enough context that the font and details of the symbol are irrelevant. It is clear what his intent is. If the guy did not share those beliefs, given what he does for a living, I would think he would be more careful about using anything that could be mistaken for Nazi symbology.



  • Verizon…manually go in every month to OK the funds come straight from checking. Been using the same account for over 20 years and it is SAVED on the Verizon site… Have plenty of money in the account, then one month it gets rejected for “account not found”. Bank says they never even tried and i hit re-submit and it goes through no problem. Clearly a problem with Verizon’s payment processing right? But they charge me a $30 “returned” fee and when I reach out to them they wont budge on it.
