How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

My parents raised me to always say β€œyes sir” and β€œno ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like β€œno thank you, ma’am” based on their appearing AFAB, but...

bernieecclestoned,

Please and thank yous are enough to be polite to strangers.

bernieecclestoned,

Cut out the middle man, eat shit

bernieecclestoned,

The guy already gave his statement at a deposition. Why on earth would they kill him after the fact?

bernieecclestoned,

Good. More tax.

bernieecclestoned,

The tines are a changing

bernieecclestoned,

That’s quite a humble understanding imho. Centrists are technocratic. Evidence led, not ideological. Take good ideas from the centre right on regulating business and combine that with social policies from the left.

The Nordic model basically.

bernieecclestoned,

The success of the Nordic social market model?

The pile of crap that is docusign will only work for me in incognito mode.

I contacted support and they suggested I tried it and it works, so they closed the case

Don’t live in America?

Proud Boys member who went on the run after conviction in the Jan. 6 riot gets 10 years in prison (www.pbs.org)

A member of the Proud Boys extremist group who went on the run after he was convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol and then allegedly faked a drug overdose after he was caught was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison....

bernieecclestoned,

Lol, what a loser

bernieecclestoned,

Fringe benefit

bernieecclestoned,

Thanks, that’s what I thought. They always point to the recorded side effects and I always counter with the fact that the disease is a lot lot worse than the cure, and that it’s a classic trolley problem. If the equation is kill one to save a million, you always kill one.

Or am I missing something?

bernieecclestoned,

Unfortunately I’m at the age where more friends are dying than I’m making new ones lol

bernieecclestoned,

Ok just going to make the counter argument if that’s ok?

They are new compared to traditional vaccines like polio and smallpox

Their view is that vaccines are now unnecessary because of herd immunity, (I’ve got them to concede that hospitals or the economy would have collapsed without vaccines), and that they are just being used up because govts signed contracts.

Their view is that the side effects risk is now higher than the benefit.

bernieecclestoned,

So would you say that vaccines are still needed for all, or just for people like me who are immunosuppressed?

bernieecclestoned,

Ah, a classic correlation is not causation situation. Thanks!

Inflation means money is worth less than before and inflation is actually money creation. Higher supply means lower demand. Record profits are only records because the nominal value is higher, but the real value isn’t.

Companies operate on gross margin, so 30% margin is always 30% of the total price. The actual value is irrelevant.

bernieecclestoned,

Of course, if you’re not getting an actual pay rise. Then you strike until you get a better deal or start making money without exchanging it for units of time.

bernieecclestoned,

Ireland?

bernieecclestoned,

Perhaps it’s like the Trump win. People declared they’d never vote for him publicly, but secretly did

bernieecclestoned,

😬

bernieecclestoned,

Pretty sure everyone is realising he is Jim Davidson 2.0 with his latest effort at β€œstand up”
