Preowned ThinkPad. You can get a 2018 or so X1 Carbon for $400 or less on eBay.

Safety razor user; I change every one to two shaves. If I start on that second use and it's too rough for the shave I've got in mind (mostly a problem for my neck) then I'll toss it.

Leaving carts outside the corrals at the store. Failing to signal. Actually a lot of car or car adjacent behaviors. All of which go back to "my immediate convenience is more important than being a conscientious member of the society I live in with other people."

"Threatening".

Threatening to make that place a lot cooler, sounds like.

Researching the situation regarding work visas…

'Female', when it's used in a non-clinical or technical context to describe a human woman. Everyone has a slip here or there, right, so, broad stroke take incoming, but, generally speaking, I've never met or talked with anyone who reliably refers to women as 'females' who actually respects them. It's a word you'd use to refer to a complete person only if you see them first and foremost as some kind of specimen, and it reaks to me of poor socialization, unhealthy relationship with that sex, or simply low class.

It's already saved me from accidentally tapping a recent or favorite number because they hang up a split second faster than my thumb lands on the end button. I approve of this change.

If Lemmy had awards this succinct answer would get a pile of them.

Objectivity in reporting is a nice goal when you're trying to write objective journalism. But this dude clearly wrote an opinion piece. It literally says "you shouldn't" in the headline. That sort of thing can't be objective, and it would look embarrassing if it tried. Objectivity for objectivity's sake regardless of context is not really sensible. What you're asking for is a fact sheet, not something written by a person because that person believes a thing.

That being said, I'll give it to you: it wasn't an especially good op-ed piece. It would've been better if he elaborated some of the stuff he said. But that just means he's got some work to do as a writer, not that his crime was 'not being objective enough'.

Hell yeah. I was just down there white water rafting like two weekends ago. Beautiful space.
