We like them less and less by the year. The politicians keep breaking them, and more and more people are convinced it's because they're just inherently not good, not because they've been sabotaged.

They spent money to make money off of someone else's needs.

They can cry a second Lake Ontario.

The issue is they pay specialists grossly unreasonable wages, so thats where all the 2nd+ generation med students who have the best chamce at leaping over all of the arbitrary hurdles to med achool acceptance set their sights.

They did! Like last year? Maybe two years ago now (what even is time anymore?).

They weren't good.

If the shareholders can't capture all of the value for themselves, it's not going to catch on.

Choosing to miss the forest for the trees here, I see. Being pedantic only brings something to the table if someine doesn't know the details you're being a pedant over.

Everybody here knows that legislative bodies pass laws.

They want the power fantasy of everyone having to listen to them while never having to listen to anybody else

While it's true that everyone should have access to the national parks, you have to understand that raising that issue in the current context works to amplify the "fuck immigrants" messaging of the Sun. So, yeah, you should go take a hike in the woods.

Everyone up to the age of 17, I believe.

They've been living here for years, contributing to our communities and paying taxes while not receiving the benefits of citizenship. Then they've had to study for and take a test, and swear and oath to a foreign monarch that natural born citizens have never been subjected to.

Giving them a park pass they're probably not going to use isn't hurting you any.

Thing is, that knife cuts both ways, and some people find it rude when you don't use proper punctuation.

I would personally interpret the short burst thing as a tantrum, FWIW, or some other form of disregulation.

To make things more confusing, responding to an invitation to drinks with "k!" might be ok, depending on who's asking and the context.

If it's your roommate asking, and they're doing it because there's a sporting event or because drinks are an established ritual, it'd be fine. If it's your boss, or a new (potential) friend or colleague, a possible romantic interest, or a close friend and it's not something they usually do or invite you out for, then those situations have a lot more weight, and expect a more fulsome and engaged reply.
