I tried to report a restaurant as closed. I was looking forward to eating there while out of town. It was empty, had a big CLOSED sign in the window, and was surrounded by construction equipment and road barriers. I took pictures of all of this and they still rejected my edit.

They did approve my addition of a river access in the middle of nowhere, though.

Gerrymandering

My household has not bought anything from them since before the pandemic. Unfortunately, this means relying on Walmart, which isn’t much better, but at least they get toilet breaks.

I identify with your sentiment so much. Forced to spend the first quarter of my life absorbing questionable curriculum that ultimately didn’t prepare me for adulthood, then agree to unforgivable debt, for what?

For many students, Hess said, the point of an expensive college education is not to gain practical job skills. “It’s just a really expensive toll that lets you jump the queue and get the good jobs.”

The current status of college in America is a scam. It’s designed to uplift the upper class and ruin lives of the lower classes to discourage future generations from trying.

Chetty and Friedman and Deming — all of whom work at Ivy League universities — put it starkly: “We conclude that highly selective private colleges currently amplify the persistence of privilege across generations.”

It’s gatekeeping.

You really hit the nail on the head here. And you’re absolutely right about the perfection of fast food in Japan. Well… don’t order the fried chicken… but, most other things.

It looks teal and purple to me, which is probably for color blindness accessibility, but I understand what you mean.

Well written. It’s just cosplay.

As someone suffering with an illness similar to Long Covid, I too am pleased with all the medical innovations coming.

I went to the emergency room when I was 19 because I couldn’t swallow it hurt so much (they were not very sympathetic).

Maybe they had Russians build the bridge

Me too, and I was glad my body responded so I knew it was doing something.

Why was he even allowed access to the 72nd one? Isn’t there some point where we decide this isn’t going to stop?

I’m sorry that happened to you. I read recently of another church leader who killed a little girl he was supposed to be driving somewhere in a group, then pretended she never got on the bus, and comforted her family. In the 1970s. Only recently admitted to the murder. I can’t imagine what kind of sociopath takes somebody’s baby and then lies to their face for 50 years about what happened.

3 hours a day of unpaid time just to get ready for work… we were far overdue for a shift in the system.

Well the GOP did it on Independence Day so now it’s just funny.

Not who you replied to, but I also had no interest due to excellent role models in my family for what NOT to do. I have had 1 alcoholic beverage my entire life, on my 21st birthday, and it was completely lackluster.
