And remember, there are a lot of scammers out there. Don’t give out your personal info and don’t make any payments to receive the forgiveness. Get your info from a [dot]gov site. They won’t call or text you about the forgiveness either.

Ekonaor is not too bad. I image you have to do some fancy trick with your tongue to make ‘aor’ sound.

Yeah. I definitely feel privileged to be able to say I’ve seen so many of the sights.
As you say, a lot of these spots are not short trips for most of the country. There were a handful of things just in DC. But no mention of the space museum in AL (biggest space museum in the world), or the great Smoky Mountains in TN (one of the most biodiverse regions in the US), or Mammoth Cave in KY (longest known cave system in the world)… those are just things I know of because I live in within a long weekend of enjoying. Everything on the posted list is at least 7 hours of driving from where I live. And, I’m sure there are many places in the US where the same could be said. However, there are amazing and important things that are much closer. So really the metric is sort of meaningless.

Alright guys. 30-something is not that old. There’s still plenty of time to meet the love of your life, to have your own kids or realize you’ve got some interesting kinks. You don’t have to start making your end of life plans yet. You won’t even be able to retire for another 30 years.

No. It means that farmers will be able to repair their own equipment. It means the won’t loose valuable work time waiting for repairs that may not be able to be performed locally and be able to save money by doing the work themselves. They can keep parts and diagnostic tools on hand and make repairs or perform maintenance in the field if needed.

When I was young, I always thought the Bermuda Triangle was a big concern. But my sense of my location on the world was pretty bad. So then one day, I realized that I lived right on the edge of the triangle and I was like, ‘oh. I guess it’s not really a big deal.’

People thought the smell was a problem and came up with perfumes and layers and special washes to deal with it. At first deodorant, as we know it, was a failure. Marketing made it happen.
Same with toothpaste. Yes, people cleaned their teeth, but not with toothpaste. The list goes on at great length.
I know people hate to think they are influenced by marketing, but we are.

Acknowledging limitations and impairments is not bringing us down. It’s lifting us up. Don’t be so quick to trash your fellow man. You might find you’re the one that needs the crutches one day. And you’ll appreciate that you’ve been given the opportunity to do your best work while figuring out how to navigate with those crutches.

And part of moving forward is figuring out and acknowledging those impairments. No one in the original message suggested that they weren’t working and getting their jobs done respectably. You have to understand your barriers so you can know what sort of crutches you need.
Hearing messages like the one presented can be really meaningful for people who struggle with that issue and haven’t pin-pointed it.

This is really weird. How do people have this much energy to even think through all this crap.
