I would agree until you word it in such a way that implies an entire nation of people wants people to die. That’s very different from a country “pressuring” another country.

Happened during the Spanish flu in the US as well. People don’t like being told what to do.

Same. I haven’t spoken with mine in years and I’ll bet she doesn’t know why. Between this and the comments about making babies that she knows I never wanted…

And next week we get to lose an hour of sleep (at least in most of the US). Woohoo

“But I don’t know why they stopped talking to me!”

This is when I stopped really talking to family.

Shame to know I won’t be playing any more Sony games.

The American government.

We make the distinction between the CCP and China.

I gather they may mean more along the lines of, “Will they survive? Are people starving?” Etc. Here, now.

Primate heritage.

Blame the British.

The way they worded it made it sound to me, at first, that they were saying her story was made up. Upon a rereading, I can see that that’s not the case. However, the wording could be seen as a little ambiguous.

Well, the question was if it’s rude. Whether or not it’s rude depends on whether or not you should be tipping and whether or not you do.

Sounds like you’re fine. I would just go, maybe try to chat a bit with the attendants to see if they are miffed for future reference.

If an employee needs to do more work than they normally would, give them a tip and a thank you. Judge tip based on how much effort/time required. If you don’t have cash for a tip, clean the car off yourself before going.

I’m a middle-aged American and I have never heard of or seen anyone tip at a car wash. For car detailing, absolutely but not for going through an automated car wash where the employee serves mostly as an attendant to make sure the driver going through doesn’t screw things up.

No source link?

Or 911 call taking. o.m.g., Karen, could you be more racist.

Volunteering has the added bonus of providing some type of work experience, which can be helpful if you should ever try to get a paid position (which is good in case you should ever need it).

Be very careful about engaging in any activity which could potentially disqualify your from SSI or SSDI.

As someone who likes stuff and struggles with mild hoarding tendencies myself, I would say that this is good advice except that

“Do I really want this thing in my house, and add to the next roundup?”

is not the best way to frame it because the answer will often be “yes”. I’ve switched to making myself decide exactly where something will be stored before I buy it.

15 years of mild hoarding… Great strategy, but that’s going to be a lot of boxes. Ultimately, that’s kind of what moving house is, though. Boxes.
