  Also, dont overlook the value of healthy habits.

  I’ve seen younger siblings who subsisted on coke and PB&j in their retirement pass before their older ones.

  The shortest unit of time in the multiverse is the New York Second, defined as the period of time between the traffic lights turning green and the cab behind you honking.

  That certainly is a good chunk of time, but 5 weeks minimum is stellar!

  Cheers!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon saves up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s marvelous.

  Is “very” long on the scale of like a decade or multiple decades?

  Are y’all getting 5 weeks of vacation a year? My American mind cannot comprehend this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon saves up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I also fully recognize that I have a fairly generous employer. I don’t think my experience is representative of most Americans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon saves up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Genuine ignorance and curiosity - do y’all only do days? If you have to take half a day off, do you round up or down?

  A fascinating theory I read is that MAGA is making a big deal out of Epstein because it provides an off-ramp that lets them save face.

  Legit I’m like "bruh, you’re surprised that you’re billionaire ‘grab em by the pussy’, ‘accidentally’ walking into the miss teen usa, ‘I’d fuck my daughter if she wasn’t my daughter’ president is on a list of billionaire sexual predators? I’m glad that something finally looks like it might stick to him but c’mon guys.

  I think I remember the dual thumb, but I just remember being amazed at how responsive it was

  Typing on this thing was a dream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let delivery drivers keep their⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for taking the time to walk through your thoughts - I appreciate the conversation.

  I think the particularly egregious problem with interpreting the comment as referring to the association of man=top=dom is that the meme has a gal as the dom, as you’ve pointed out, which does go against heteronormativity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let delivery drivers keep their⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand heteronormative to be about social norms centered around heterosexuality, and how that is the dominant cultural factor.

  With that understanding, viewing things through a heteronormative lens is to exclude the views of non-heterosexual folks.

  Then “heteronormative bullshit” is comparable to “heterosexual bullshit”.

  I might’ve missed some nuance - this is not my forte. However my naive understanding is that saying this was commentary on “cultural norms” is similar to saying to civil war was about “states rights”. States rights to do what? (Slavery) Cultural norms centered around what? (Heterosexuality)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let delivery drivers keep their⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “heteronormative” doesn’t mean “it’s the fault of straight people” are you serious

  But does “heteronormative bullshit” imply that?

  What if they’d said “I’m tired of this homosexual bullshit that glitter goes everywhere?”

  That definitely reads as “I believe it’s the fault of the queer people” to me, do you believe otherwise?

  I know this one! It’s a picture - a graphical depiction of something. They can come in many formats. I’ve heard they can be worth a thousand words.

  I just want to make sure you notice it says “encrypted messaging” meaning matrix as a service, as opposed to “encrypted messages”, meaning selling your messages.

  If you think going down on someone is only a submissive act you haven’t gone down on someone long enough.

  Eh, idk about being sought, but the dating experience did fundamentally change after I felt confident enough to be more worried about what a potential match brought to the table than whether or not I’d get a date. The pool of applicants wasn’t big, but I was happier being solo than with the wrong person.

  For the record, I didn’t down vote you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon starts talking to a girl⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I’m saying to avoid “the majority” of women on there who likely do not share values with you.

  Would you rather actually spend your time to go on a date with them only to find how shallow and materialistic someone is? Or would you rather know in advance to not waste your time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon starts talking to a girl⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great, that lets you know who to avoid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're*⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I distinctly remember learning this about myself after talking to someone on a dating app who used absolutely 0 punctuation. We’re talking like entire paragraphs-worth of text messages without a comma or period in sight.

  I mean yeah, if you spent 5 years of your life pushing the edge of human understanding on a subject, and a shithead tells you to do the science on your research subject, it’s relevant lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saint Luigi⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The discrepancy you’re pointing out across different countries is at most 18x, according to your article.

  Let’s ignore, for a second, that “richness” needs to be considered in the context of COL. Yes, 1% of someone salary could make an impact in Tajikistan. But the cost of a meal for that potential donor could also bankrupt someone in Tajikistan. But let’s ignore that for now.

  18x an average persons salary is a fart in the wind when it comes to the rich. Take a look.
