  • Everyone outside of work seems to enjoy adult things that include swearing or certain types of humor

    Swearing I’ll grant you, I don’t really understand not swearing at work. But I do minimize it.

    The jokes thing, though? Humor can all too easily ostracize, offend, or otherwise “other” fellow workers. What someone might consider funny, and maybe those around them do, too, could make someone else seriously uncomfortable.

    It’s best to be careful about the jokes you tell at work.







  • US presidential elections aren’t about swaying your base. They’re about swaying very specific swing states.

    The electoral college means pushing to the center is the only way for progressives to win an election. Conservatives can generally do what they want, they have an inherent advantage in the electoral college.

    Giving up the chance to make small change because you refuse to compromise only means that, within the system we have here, we end up backsliding. Every small improvement is hard won, and giving up means dramatic losses.

    It’s a shit system, but it’s the system we currently have to work with.









  • Aren’t all parts of a shirt suitable as a cleaning cloth?

    Good question! No! Most t-shirts work well, but button-up shirts are often not soft, pliable, or absorbable enough to really function well for glasses cleaning (IMO, anyway).

    You aren’t likely to scratch the glasses (glass is very hard), but you kinda just move the smudges around and make them worse with certain fabrics. I want either a nice mostly-cotton blend, or a nice thick microfiber cloth (microfiber is not created equal, and some are practically useless).

    Maybe I’m just picky. Your mileage may vary.
