  • Each person’s circumstances are different, and Im glad it works for you.

    My experience was 45 minutes drive each way (or 80 min bus) the drive was stressful, because commuter traffic was slow and full of assholes (like me). I wasn’t compensated for that time or stress, I just carried it. Plus the cost of a 2nd car for no reason outside of getting to work.

    Work from home gave all of that time and energy back to actually get to live my life during the week, rather than enter a coma like state of barely functioning until it was time to go to work again.

    The extra cost of working at the office wasn’t worth it. It wasn’t accounted for in my salary fairly in my mind.

    The whole work headspace thing is easy. Get up , get ready, work. At the end of the day, go for a run, get out of the headspace, shower and then its home relaxing time.

    WFH was/is an amazing opportunity for people who work doesn’t demand on hand productivity in a warehouse, factory etc.

    In terms of climate change, the effects of wide spread WFH and reduced commuter travel was real, and for that alone countries should have run with it, providing incentives to convert unused office space into affordable housing and transformed the landscapes of cities into more walkable spaces. granted the time to achieve that and the businesses that relied on daily office workers business would likely not have survived.


  • That’s a well crafted PR response that does it’s best to accept responsibility and give a plausible explanation, which is what’s expected. Doesn’t mean its true.

    It doesn’t really fit well with what’s in the image to my eyes though.

    Maybe a second person saw the ticket, thought someone missed a word and added it, but that doesn’t make sense at a high end place to have just anybody doing lettering.

    Looking at that ‘Happy Birthday’ on a plate and thinking something needed to be added, I would not want to touch that perfect cursive even if I had similarly impressive flow, I can’t imagine the different shape wouldn’t be acceptable at a place like that.



  • There is no justice in punishing people who’ve become addicted, and are just using to satisfy the addiction.

    You know who becomes addicted? The kid who runs/drives/rides in front of a car and ends up on major pain meds. Maybe ticketing parents who let their kids do that, without regard for the evidence of its dangers is a good idea after all.










  • Our system is not set up for anything other than to make the richest people richer, by exploiting the labour of the rest of the people.

    Our real system, the closed system known as planet Earth is not set up for endless growth of a human economy. All populations go through growth and crash cycles. The longer we push off the decline, the harder the crash will be.
