  • I know exactly what you’re talking about, a new girl at work apologises for everything, and im always like, no need, you had know way to know.

    But the reason it irks me is because to have someone apologise to you implies you have reprimanded them in some way, which isn’t what’s happened, and it implies they have acted innappropriately, which is also incorrect.

    And that’s important, because if we dont frame it in fault/blame terms it’s more efficient and avoids abrasiveness that may turn toward conflict.












  • What’s happening in Ameristan is too dangerous to treat them as anything but an enemy to the stability and prosperity of the rest of the world. As soon as people started getting disappeared for political views, I flipped like a switch, I doubt there’s a regime in history that started behaviour like that and didnt keep going until they were stopped.

    Ameristan is quickly becoming authoritarian and fascist, this isn’t going to fizzle out, it will need to be stopped.




  • I don’t agree with that at all, if you don’t or can’t understand the terms of a contract, you sign at your own peril, expecting the government to step in everytime a person decides to excercise their stupidity is authoritarian and leads to a bloated, innefficient system. This thinking just makes contracts meaningless, it just means you can claim ignorance everytime you sign into a contract you don’t like.

    Regulating food is whole different game for a number of reasons, i dont think it’s a reasonable comparison.
