While returning your cart at the supermarket is the default good option- gathering carts is the one opportunity to go outside that baggers/stockers get. On really nice days you should not return it. Doing so reveals who in the supermarket you feel is worthy of your consideration, and who isn't.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Great case study for understanding unconscious bias. AFAIK, none of them are actively racist/have racist opinions. But in a situation where reason is in the passenger's seat (b/c there's no evidence), they act on intuition, which has incorporated concepts their conscious mind would reject outright
Has anyone done research into race and #TheTraitors? I feel there is always such racial bias in people's reasoning. #CelebrityTraitors

New Hampshire is a state of contradictions, and that's the way we like/hate it!
NH is somehow both better and worse.

I live in a town of less than 10,000 (Newmarket, NH). I went to the protest thinking I'd find a handful of people. Instead, I found both sides of Main St.- all the way through downtown- lined with protestors, with almost every car that passed honking & waving in support. My heart SWELLED. #nokings

If you're having a baby girl and your surname starts with a P, you have to at least consider naming her Ella Minnow, right? Like, I'm not judging you if you ultimately go a different way with it- but it would be irresponsible not to do your due diligence and at least put it on the list

I was searching for info on a belief (I vaguely remember reading about) within early-Judaism that life begins well-after birth- when DuckDuckGo decided to unambiguously present right-wing propaganda as fact. "Generally understood"? By who?! Why is that first site being used as an information source?

Never thought about it- but rulers in other countries must only have numbers on one edge? Seems like a waste of a perfectly good edge.

Stealing candy from a baby has never been easier- if caught, just sneak off while everyone is judging the parent for giving candy to their baby in the first place

Even if there were a soccer game against the UK today (i.e.- the event that is to jingoistic-me what a full moon is to a werewolf) I don't think I could get into the flag-waving holiday spirit. Shit is real dark.

I'm already down with the theys- but if they manage to bring the good letters back to the alphabet? Hell yeah.

(If we need to make room, we can get rid of C. C's a bullshit letter and we all know it.)

Coke is red. Pepsi is blue.
Target is red. Walmart is blue.
McDonald's is red. Burger King is blue.
Marvel is red. DC is blue
Pizza Hut is red. Domino's is blue.
Colgate is red. Crest is blue.

Why is business always trying to visually recreate The Warsaw Pact vs. NATO?

The only thing that makes me feel like we live in a society anymore is when two lanes merge and everyone successfully zippers together. So when some asshole tries to speed in behind the car that's already in front of them, it kind of ruins my day.

As far as I'm concerned, if Australia can perform in Eurovision, then America can join the EU - and FINALLY get some goddamn regulation on the brightness of headlights

If nothing matters anymore, I'm just going to start pronouncing "quality" like "duality". You can't stop me.

The difference between X and Bluesky is really embodied in the Luka trade reactions. Everyone over there seems to be pointing fingers at Mark Cuban; while people here seem to realize he sold his majority stake in the team to Miriam Adelson (yes, THAT Miriam Adelson) years ago

After Boston traded Seguin for peanuts, it was years before I could even watch a Bruins game again. I don't know how/if Mavs fans will ever get over this Luka to the Lakers trade.

I learned when it's grey and when it's gray*, but I still have no idea when it's an ax and when it's an axe- or when it's a disc and when it's a disk

The strangest sadness is the sadness I just felt upon learning that New Hampshire is smaller than Belgium.

Today I learned that Norway claims to own a fifth of Antarctica. If Norway gets to claim 20% of the South Pole, the US should claim 100% of the Moon, and start charging other countries for moonlight.
