Good God, this takes me back to middle school when we were obsessed with this song/chant/animation (what even was it?)

Based on the second one, you must work in IT. I swear every IT person I've called has this super power

...if it identifies a pathway it can claim to be legal

Based on everything else they have done ignoring legality, I have very little faith they won't just start doing it anyways.

I'm really, really good at peeling oranges with my bare hands (or at least I used to be in grade school when all my friends would make me do it for them). The problem is, I hate the taste of oranges so I never use this power.

It hurts itself in its confusion

I download books from my library to my kindle. It goes through Amazon though, so I assume I am also impacted by this BS.

I just need to shout this into the void:

Fuck this fucking bullshit. What the hell is wrong with this country. I fucking hate this timeline.

Could be, but they would still be required to pass tests to prove their hormones are in the appropriate range, just like cis women have to do when tested for doping with testosterone.

If there's any real debate to be had, it's along the lines of male hormones and penises. Should either be present in a place which essentially only exists for the purpose of keeping those things out?

They are. Every sporting governing body I'm aware of requires trans women to be on hormone therapy for a minimum of 2 years before they can compete in the women's category. This is completely in line with the medical community's research into how long it takes before the benefits of being biologically male are counteracted by the hormone replacement.

The debate has been had in the medical community and has been resolved. Now random people who never gave a fuck about women's sports before think they should have input when they have no qualifications, just because they have prejudices.

I no longer buy cereal because it has become way too expensive for the low nutritional/satiety value. Sorry, Kellogg, you'll have to do better if you want to convince people to eat more cereal.

My favorite from my time working in the news industry:

Neighbor puts toilets in their yard facing other neighbors house. That neighbor builds a fence so they don't have to look at the toilets. Original neighbor then hangs toilets from the tree so it is visible over the fence. Cue complaints to get toilets removed by city/county.

I believe the original dispute had to do with tearing out a shared bush and parking on lawn, but I don't recall the details.

Oh fun. $330k for a 500sqft shack that is partially collapsed. The only info on the listing states the lot will need to be scraped, so basically that is the cost of an empty lot.

Going out a bit further, you can find a couple of houses around $350k that are liveable. They are 700-900 sqft and 0-2 bedrooms.

How high are you OP?

A while back I applied with the USPS and got called in for an interview. It wasn't a real interview, but more of a presentation on all the required next steps to be hired (there were at least 20 of us in the room). I ended up getting a different job before my start date, but if you were able to do all the steps by the deadline the job was yours.

That is the example that OP referred to in their question

Go for daily walks in nature.

Do yoga

Play a recreational sport that interests you

Read (I guess that's still consumption)

Write

Volunteer for a cause you care about

This is pretty niche, but I'm in a casual curling league and nearly everyone is over 40. Everyone there is super welcoming and friendly.

Asking where you are from is pretty normal conversation, especially if you have a noticeable accent. Asking where your parents/grandparents/etc are from is less common. Are you by chance not-white? Sometimes these sorts of questions have a race element to them

My 97 year old grandma spent Christmas in the hospital with COVID and congestive heart failure. I'm honestly shocked she isn't a part of this statistic.

New one dropped in September. Get it if you're able
