Exercise every day. Eat decent food and get good sleep. Practice mediation. Find artistic hobbies that you enjoy.

I love mine, Chevy bolt. The biggest downside is that you need to plan road trips more carefully with them, and road trips will just take longer. Once you accept that, it’s actually kind of nice to periodically take 20-30 minute breaks while on a trip.

These problems are greatly alleviated if you also have a fossil fuel car. My partner has a gas car, so if we’re just going for a weekend or there aren’t good charging options, we just take the gas car so we don’t have to worry about charging.

Sublemmy. Plural sublemmies.

Is this world news tho? Feels a bit like Dutch news.

Is this science tho? More like statistics if anything. I don’t see any hypotheses being tested.

Hey internet strangers, write my next BuzzFeed article for me! You will not be paid or credited when I pass your insights off as my own in my next fashion blog post.

Who Dat Ninja

Went to undergrad in early 2000s. We stayed up late in the dorms talking about the meaning of life and society and existence regularly. I think you just didn’t manage to find the smart interesting people. And none of us were “culturally Jewish”, sounds kind of dog whistly to me.

Not sure how much sway the FTC will have in Canada.

OP, what information do you believe this map conveys?

You need to provide about 95% more detail if you want anything resembling a useful answer.

In my book, getting to that point without a plan to meet is a failed interaction. No one wants to text all day. It’s the small talk we do to get to the point where we meet people we’re interested in. It’s a tryout to make sure you’re not a weirdo or jackass. So do a little ice breaker, discuss two to three topics, then suggest exchanging phone numbers so you can meet up sometime. No one wants to text for three days straight. They’re waiting for you to ask for their number.

I can tell by this comment why people don’t answer when you call them.

Durham or chapel Hill? We got lots of libs over here.

Is this really a world news event? Wrong community to post this in methinks

I think you’re answering your own question here.

Your blunt coworker has to explain himself or risks being taken as rude by people who don’t know him. You yourself couldn’t determine if he was being rude to you without some additional context.

Without further context, you don’t know how to interpret an email that says where is my spreadsheet motherfucker.

In both cases, you’re saying further social cues are needed to determine if someone you don’t know very well is being rude or not. Hence, why people emailing people they don’t know very well in a professional capacity include niceties to convey context and tone.

I use this when the tone of my email would otherwise be, where’s my spreadsheet motherfucker?? It’s nice to modify the overall tone of the email to something more friendly. I have a very curt writing style so I’m often concerned my emails will come off as blunt or demanding if I don’t include a pleasantry.

I work in a very friendly, informal field so I find myself doing little pleasantries to fit in, email-wise.
