Or just a neighbor with no life that studies ordinances.

My parents have a neighbor that waked around the block with a tape measure, measuring how far from sidewalk people had trees or shrubs. Township ordinance said it had to be 6 feet away.

She then called the city and reported everyone in violation. The neighbor never met most of those people. She was just bored with no life.

I’d rather be in the majority saying it wrong then the minority saying it right.

Because at the end of the day the way you pronounce words is a very social thing, and no matter what is technically right or wrong, it’s going to benefit you to say it in the way everyone else does.

And the majority say it with the hard G.

This is a bit by a popular comedian that I cannot remember.

Yeah the problem is there would never be any reason for companies to even try to make working from home work unless some life or death event like COVID forced them to.

There was never going to be an easy transition for them. It was either nothing or against their will.

Well it’s like a super tape recorder that can play back anything anyone has ever said on the internet.

Imagine what would happen if a bunch of huge fully-remote companies with no office space were told by the government that they now had to buy a building for workers to work in.

Imagine how fast their opinion would switch.

Wonder what new non-crime the prison industrial complex will invent to refill the prisons after they can’t arrest people for weed.

I guess I very rarely see anyone try at all. And in lots of cases it just eliminates any possibility of actually changing a person’s mind. Just calling them a name makes them hate you more and entrenches them in their opinion.

I guess I don’t have a solution the internet is just a fucking sewer.
