I think I'm done with all social media. This was the last chance and I have to say, it's not really worth anyone's time here.

When we bought our new house we actually decided in advance what do with our old house. Seemed pretty obvious

If Santa came to me after all that emotional abuse, because now he needs my nose to save his night, I'd tell him to screw off. Kindness is free. Screw you Claus

If the United States became a province of Canada, Americans could enjoy benefits such as no gerrymandering or yearly government shutdowns. Also, being able to just tap your card at a restaurant to pay instead of having to give it to a waiter to take away and come back with a paper for you to sign.

Borrowers from the @communitypedalpower.org E-Bike Library have ridden an average of 6.04 miles/day during loans over the past 20,000 miles, many of whom rode zero miles/day before trying -- these habits form quickly.
The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.
E-bikes support fewer car trips.

E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers
They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

How did a show like Happy Days, about a bunch of teenagers in 1950s Milwaukee one week decide to add Mork from Ork? It's bizarre. It's like when Flintstones added the great Gazoo

Explaining to my three year old that Elmo has to go away because he wasn't providing enough value to shareholders. My son turns to me and says "while I personally enjoy Sesame Street I understand that corporations must put their obligations to shareholders above consumer demands."

Best suggestion so far is Horror of Fraggle Rock.

I hate the binary thinking out there that EVs, or AVs, are not as good as bikes so they're bad. I want fewer gas cars, I want more buses, more bike lanes, cities built smarter and I want robotaxis

Nothing really prepared me for my aging parents. It's obvious, it happens to everyone right? But we go through life thinking not me. Not yet. Not them
And when it comes you can't avoid it. There are limits to what medical science can do. There's no cure for the passage of time
Any tips?
