I've started to train myself to put my phone in my pocket "upside down" with the charging port up. It collects much less pocket lint, but now I drop it more when I take it out and flip it around. I'm hoping that I get better at this soon.

OK, easy solution: don't open outlook.

Most of the time that I'm in the office, my laptop is closed anyways, you know, for collaboration.

I eat my veggies directly off the vine, so there.

Carrots and potatoes are more difficult.

I wouldn't doubt that. I just wanted to pretend for a moment that the thing they're taking from us would result in the one thing that they seem to fear the most.

With all the employees back in the office, they'll have plenty of time to hang around the water cooler and discuss all the ways to unionize. Leaving the company is great as an individual, it sends a message. Unionizing helps to restore the balance of power vs rights and is exactly what Amazon doesn't want. This (IMHO) is how you "F them hard". Additionally, it'd send a message to the other companies who want to flex on the people who make the company work.

Indent to find an article to back up what I remember and in 2020, a woman was held in contempt of court and jailed for refusing to provide a passcode. The case was later overturned.

Double check this in the state or country you're in. I recall something from a few years ago where the police could force you to give a swipe pattern and maybe pin since these items are not covered in the same way that a password is.

Cory wrote about this in his essay, "Unpersoned". I've been using gmail as a spam catcher for all the sleazy sites you need to register with, but didn't realize how I've made a trap for myself when, for example, my prescriptions need 2 factor authorization via my gmail. This is going to be a hard one to detangle.

This guy Englishes!

I've done the same with businesses that stayed open during Covid lockdowns, especially restaurants. If they don't care about a global pandemic, they're probably not handling food properly, following proper cleaning protocols, etc.

That duck is looking pretty tasty right about now.

I'm with you. Many of "them" want to get violent and are looking for a reason to do so. By throwing a punch, it provides justification for their violent actions. So many folks here indicate that you won't change somebody unless you fight them, but I've read and heard plenty of evidence to the contrary. One quick source is How One Man Convinced 200 Ku Klux Klan Members To Give Up Their Robes. I also heard an interview with a woman who grew up in a cult and how she learned how to "deprogram" people.

I like to think of it a lot like fishing. Once you get a fish on the hook, you can't just pull hard and bring 'em in. You need to set the hook and then reel them in slowly.
