When my enemy does good, it’s because they’re self-centered. When my friend does good, it’s because they’re good and generous.

The working class

My library has free access, as do any number of local business and location. And I once lived in a building that bundled internet/TV service for every resident.

That movie was more about the AMOC collapsing (which is projected to happen between now and ~50 years), but uncharacteristically (/s), Hollywood got the science wrong.

I insist I don’t want to use Chrome, but search suggestions for local IP ranges is really annoying.

The 8 seconds may include looking up how to fix it, since it’s apparently unknown to the poster. But you don’t get any imaginary internet dopamine points for that

When I went out of my way to fix things and make it better, I ended up getting promotions, but YMMV.

At least the people are nice

I also learned I meet hEDS criteria, hypermobile joints needed more care than I was giving them, was having too much dopamine from chasing weight numbers. Hopefully I can at least be a cautionary tale.

Some of my biggest back pains are from going to the gym! 😉

This is good and you should feel good

My newly set expectations are once again subverted!

I’d guess, in this case, imagining a wrongfully imprisoned grandma is thought to be more immoral than “just” a 50 year old. It also causes readers to imagine their own grandma in the same situation, instead of a stranger.

Feels like a truth in advertising moment, but with what enforcement? As others have said, voting with your dollars is the best leverage you have.
