I love your question! It’s a great place to ask it, because merely asking a question like that in a place like this immediately demonstrates the need we all have to develop these tools. Appreciate you! Practice listening over hearing. Prior

I consider them indigenous, though you’re correct that they weren’t always there. They were, to the best of my knowledge, the first people to inhabit that place. Much as, where I’m from, Native Americans weren’t always here, but are accepte

Your sentiment put words to my feelings as I watched the gameplay trailer. As soon as the narrator shifted to the theme of exploitation and politics, with no reference to the indigenous population, I recoiled from the whole idea of it. The

Friendly reminder that the purpose of the vaccines was to reduce death and severe disease, which all of the approved vaccines continue to do, even as “immunity from infection” wanes.

I agree completely. Though I’m confused by your use of the world slur. Are you referencing my use of “whyt”? Happy to discuss if you’re interested in discussion.

Same! I was so glad to see it’s inclusion in the list. It’s had a huge impact on me. Will check out Widen the Window.

Always assume Go references are about the board game, always disappointed. Congrats on the book!

Thanks for confirming. All the best as you turn this new page! You have my heart (if not my wallet).

What your saying is a likely long-term outcome. But the reason we see milder viruses circulating as an “end-game” is just because we don’t tend to deal with non-threats. There is no rule that mild strains are a given outcome of mutation. Yo

There certainly is a race. The slower we go the more spread. The more spread, the more variation. The more variation, the more likelihood of a vaccine-resistant strain taking hold. Even if it’s a long-term certainty, much better to be well-

I paid a flat fee to join. I think it was like $7 or something. I think the price used to go up incrementally with each new signup. I gotta say though, the whole value proposition he made back then was a one-time fee. I had no problem with

I had a similar experience with them as well. It definitely surprised me and made me grumpy, but it honestly took half the time as this one because I didn’t put up a fight. I remember being similarly disgruntled by canceling Prime. Lots of

I’ve been using StoryGraph the last couple of months as a GoodReads alternative, and it’s been great! I’m not interested in the social side of GoodReads very much, so the network effect wasn’t much of a pain point in jumping ship.

On the Media (podcast) ran a good piece Friday about how the problem with news (especially right now with the election) is that journalists are treating the candidates as the protagonists of their own stories (and the media then get the vot

We’re online only until at least October, but we’ve opted in to a full year of remote learning regardless of what the school does. I’ve switched to stay-at-home Dad mode and work on side projects in my spare time. My kids are just old enoug

I’ve got a pair of pants from REI that have a pocket down there, and I instinctively put my phone there all the time, because of how accessible it is when sitting. It’s great!

It’s important to remember that death isn’t the only price to pay here. A sizable University outbreak might still see an unacceptable number of serious illnesses, and in Covid’s case, those cases can take months to fully resolve. The idea t

Super serious question. Of the 278 comments that have been posted to this thread in the last 8 hours, has anyone suggested a single female author? I looked for a while and saw exactly zero. Isn’t that kind of notable?

I recently learned about bookshop, and was super excited until I actually started making a wishlist of stuff I wanted and found half of it to either be back ordered or not exist in their system at all. Turns out all orders are processed thr
