If their past behaviour is any guide they could also allow felons to own weapons, or at least carve out exceptions for access to nuclear weapons and advanced militaries.

If you drive. If you use public transport you can inhale other people’s BO instead.

But yes, if you commute, nobody gains only you lose.

Forget the cost of travel, if my commute is one hour, that’s two per day, ten per week, that’s an EXTRA WEEK they demand that I donate of my time to the company each month.

Ain’t happening.

Not for much longer

When even the US is telling you you are overdoing the whole bombing thing…

The human brain is capable of wonderful things, and also shit like this:

former adult film star

former adult Benjamin Button

He was told he couldn’t be a composer after he’d gone deaf, but did he listen??

In countries with strict laws forbidding euthanasia, people living with painful terminal medical conditions may take up blowing the whistle on Boeing instead…

Order Of The Phoenix

Tangentially, the disaster recovery plan for a company I worked for 20 years ago included provisions of shift work for 9-5 people. If one of the major offices were to become unavailable due to fire or whatever, the other location would accommodate the extra workforce by going 6-2, 2-10, essentially doubling the desk count until a permanent solution was found. Back then, everybody was 100% office based.

Hybrid is a compromise that makes no sense to either party. The company still has to maintain an expensive office while being limited to the talent pool within commutable distance. The employee still has to waste countless (albeit fewer) hours travelling while being limited to job opportunities within ~20 miles of their residence.

Sony fabitch!

I don’t have anything to add other than an anecdote:

I got permabanned from /r/askhistorians for having a “vulgar” username. Yeah, this one that I’m using now. I had been lurking for years, one time I commented a thank you to someone’s reply, and bam! I was gone.

Is that the UK or US date format?

In the seventies and eighties the communist leaders of Hungary, when talking about the realities of the time introduced some terms to explain the difference of the real world from the ideals.

“Socialism that exists”
“Socialism that works”

The jokes immediately started coming, pointing out that the socialism that exists does not work, while the socialism that works does not exist.

Flour is a common ingredient for thickening stews etc. Not OP, but if I had to guess I’d wager that the flour soaked up all the moisture in the pan, then dried out and started to burn.

He is not the same.

“Mainland Taiwan” will earn you an instafrown from Winnie the Pooh.

Walks like a duck…
