They had him do that thing where you kneel on top of your shoes.

I’m not sure I’m convinced there truly are that many skills an average person can’t gain proficiency in with a reasonable amount of time and effort. Sure, some people are more adept at things than others and maybe you’ll never gain a level of proficiency in music to become a professional musician, but given a little dedication most everyone can learn to play an instrument.

I think because often all we see is the output, it’s easy to discount the time and effort someone put in to get there. I once had a yoga teacher tell me I was so lucky to be “naturally flexible” because I had no idea how much some people struggled with it. Meanwhile, as a dancer, I had been stretching 5x/week for like 10 years to get to that point and was very inflexible before that and only moderately flexible when the comment was made haha.

It seems pretty clear the friend is in an abusive relationship, so it really isn’t that simple. The comment you’re replying to literally described how their friend felt unsafe taking any action, especially with her child living there, so I think that’s your answer.

Oh man, I have something sort of similar going on. My company apparently appends a disclaimer at the end of our emails sent externally but doesn’t show up on our end at all. I noticed when re-reading an email chain with my quoted reply and there was a huge block of text… in Spanish. I’m not sure if I’m even supposed to have a disclaimer at all (could be on by default for everyone) but certainly not in Spanish since I don’t speak it. Such an odd thing and also leaves me wondering did someone fat finger something or what the hell happened? It feels especially weird because my last name is Spanish origin and people do frequently mistake me for being Latina (I’m Filipino lol.) Even if I did speak Spanish though, all of my business is within the US so it wouldn’t make sense to have the disclaimer exclusively in Spanish.

One of the things that legit blew my mind moving from Northern California to Texas is how many freaking drive thrus there are here. It’s wild. They are just attached to everything. I guess it’s a byproduct of land being at less of a premium.

Idk about that. Third party apps have not yet been sunsetted, so I’d imagine there are some people who are waiting until the very end to make the switch. That was my original plan for the two weeks after the blackout. Ended up jumping ship early because of how it all played out, but I’m sure there are some holdouts who plan to leave once their app dies.

Mine won’t change sort views at all, just stuck on all: most comments. Haven’t tried interacting with it otherwise because I can’t get past the same posts I’ve seen a million times.
