That’s more a problem with the road you speak of being very pedestrian unfriendly.

If you are walking at the edge of the roadway (not on a sidewalk separate from the road) you should be walking on the left, against traffic, so you can see oncoming traffic on your side as you go.

If you are approaching another pedestrian who is walking towards you, each pedestrian should walk to the right of the other while passing.

Reverse all sides for countries that drive on the left.

Never leave your house.

I would be lonely, but the alternative is having to deal with “people”.

Full context: I said that RFK Jr.'s ignition was retarded. That’s the electrical part of an internal combustion engine.

For using a slur? When?

Eh, I just checked my own history over there, and there’s a whole lot of either “moderator didn’t understand the context” and “ye power tripping bastards”.

I suppose I’m not going around complaining though.

Learn to support yourself. It doesn’t sound like that’s something you’ve had to do yet, and it also sounds like your father is allowing you to avoid that lesson. This is important for a couple of reasons.

• Your father will not always be able (or willing) to support you, and then what?
• Without the ability to support yourself, you will find yourself less and less willing to step out of that comfortable spot, and you will miss opportunities. Your wording of “I’m of use to him” also suggests that your father could be using you. You depend on him for financial support, he depends on you for keeping house. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing all by itself, but it’s really textbook codependency. It’s one thing to choose that for your life; it’s another to not really have a choice about it.

The both of you need to learn how to be adults, I think.

This resembles more after there’s been a coup.

Maybe there was one.

Work supplied, but thanks.

Tell me what to get for my stupid iPhone.

It’s working.

So you’ve been propagandized into thinking there’s nothing you can do, so you shouldn’t care.

This is what I used before work took away my nice phone and replaced it with a bullshit iPhone. Switched to Overcast since PA is not available for iOS.

Muscle (the pork we eat) and mucous membranes (where tonsillectomies happen) have got to be different enough to produce different odors when burnt.

Carousel!

I’ve put a bit of thought to this over the years, and I have come to the conclusion that “might makes right” is always going to underpin any society. The people with the resources have the power, and by extension, get to make the decisions. The path to change, if people without resources want something different from those with resources, depends on a transfer of (at least some of) those resources from the haves to the have nots.

That only happens via force, or the threat of force.

I suppose mapping applications provide pretty good traffic for literally where you are driving, so there’s that. Weather is on there, too, if you want it.

It’s the “sudden important news story” bit that isn’t covered yet, I think.

Not just about the music, either. You’d also get local traffic and weather occasionally, and if there was some important news to report on, that would take precedence.

You don’t get that with the streaming service of your choosing.
