Give it the weight it deserves. Some of the other replies here are on point and this interaction doesn’t deserve any negative head space, but bad examples of what not to do are really helpful. You have a chance to choose how to treat people… you bump into friends and strangers every single day. Use the bad examples from your life and the good ones to shape who you are. Aim at the version of yourself who would answer that same question with respect and kindness. Keeping negative things in your head but using them for something positive is the best use of that memory.

It’s about numbers as a whole, and the bottom 50% of earners in the US only have 2.6% of the wealth. They can advertise a ‘good economy’ but most of us can’t afford to participate in it.

I prefer smart wool, but am totally on board with nice merino wool socks from any brand. Happy feet have helped me maintain a happy life. It’s like a good pillow or the right jacket for today’s weather for me.

Totally agree on the boardgame suggestion if it suits their personality. You need to know what complexity they are into, first.

To quote MIB: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

I think it applies pretty broadly that individuals are decent but organized into society, we mess up quite a bit.

Her phantom limb pain was reduced and might that be even more interesting than the technology, itself. There are theories supporting central and peripheral contributions to chronic phantom pain and hers must have been primarily central. Fascinating!

Ok, you’ve convinced me.

35, WI, can. Haven’t had one in a while because the wife doesn’t want to learn.

I tried twice and it went poorly.

Living this right now, but it’s great. She’s organizing my entire plex server!

Your analogy and argument is very well organized so I wonder how you think universal basic income could mitigate the negative impacts of generational wealth/poverty? In my mind, it is part of a solution to many social issues but I’m still learning. I know there are arguments that capitalism will just buffer against any implementation but I’m still forming my opinions.

4 billion tons at 3 ppb… It’s so much water, don’t try to drink it either.

I’m excited for flying mount updrafts and adventures but a little worried that mounting in combat will be awkward for the game.

There must be some new reason they want us to be able to get on a flying mount in combat but it’s odd that this doesn’t extend to other mounts and I also wonder if it will remove flavor from other parts of the game by making the choice to get into combat a bit more trivial. I’m just not sure about that one until I get my hands on it.

Right now if you choose to solo a champ or low man a group event there can be a trade off by choosing to disengage. That’s totally gone if you can decide to fly away whenever you want.

If it’s at a medium to large company, IT policies control everything and you don’t get much control over your work device. This is a good tip, if it’s possible. My work prevents it so that they can push updates when they want to.

Recently, they took over browser settings so I couldn’t save passwords but so far I just work around that by manually adjusting the saved pw on a personal device.

IT can bug me, but they also have my empathy for the average employee they’re trying to protect the company from.

I’m trying to complete meta achievements for all EoD maps and story journal episodes. I also started doing fractals again after a long break. A little gold in the bank will buy me some of the new shineys. As part of restarting fractals I’m making it my goal to be decent at all roles again (1 alac, 1 quick, 1 cdps, and 1 pdps) because the only instances I’ve hung out in for the last year are strikes and I have been in healer-jail for CM runs.
