Mental well-being wise, I personally do get cabin fever working from home. Better than covid fever but if I had my druthers I'd have neither. Commuting also sucks though. Ideally I'd work in an office 2 minutes by foot from my home in a society with no plagues. Also it would be communist.

No that one was motivated by cruelty. 4chan got it from a typo in someone's memorial Myspace page after they killed themselves. It's not a euphemism, it's a direct mockery of suffering and death.

Other than the massive risk of long term illness or death due to covid I actually kinda like being in office. It makes it easier to complain to my coworkers about how management is risking our lives by making us come back to the office.

I actually only know these bands at all from torrenting a huge file of twee/indie pop stuff on a whim when I was like 19 and I listened very unevenly to it. I know the phrase throw Aggi off the bridge but only from a Tullycraft song that referenced it, don't think I've ever even listened to Black Tambourine.

I don't even know what made me do this, I think maybe I watched But I'm a Cheerleader and really liked the Go Sailor songs?

The State of Israel shall, in accordance with its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, in relation to Palestinians in Gaza, take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of this Convention, in particular:

(a) killing members of the group;

Am I misreading or does state that Israel has to do everything it can to prevent the killing of Gazans? Maybe I'm not thinking in the manner of a snake like lawyer here, but logically this would mean an immediate end to bombardment right?

Just anecdotally as an American in the South, Midwest or Great Plains (try and find me now FBI): In other circumstances you definitely can use I've in American English, like "I've been waiting," and "I've not" doesn't sound unnatural to me, just a little stuffy, but "I haven't" is for sure more common.

This is so weird everyone on Reddit assured me that the economy was doing great. Blisteringly well I think they said, idk sounds gross to me.

I've seen people say that these are kind of vague orders and Israel can just lie and say they're fulfilling them. Netanyahu being openly defiant against them makes that impossible right? Surely?

Didn't know they extended one country two systems. Not sure how I feel about it, but also a lot can happen in 24 years, so I'm not sure it's worth having an opinion on anyways.
