If you’re ever on the backpacking circuit you’ll meet people like that. They work just long enough to save up for their next trip.

Cats are naturally crepuscular (most active at dawn and dusk). You’re just on different sleep schedules.

I’m a progressive, but also a pragmatist and a realist, and I find these kind of complaints unhelpful and naive. Politics is a blood sport and it always has been. No one is going to hand AOC the reins of power. She has to win them, and her opponents aren’t going to play fair. This is, sadly, how the game is played. Don’t mourn. Organize!

I’m on the road a lot as a cyclist. Like OP, I’d estimate that at least a quarter of vehicles rarely or never signal.

Reminds me of a funny story I heard Tom Petty once tell. Apparently, he had a buddy with a POS car with a crappy stereo, and Tom insisted that all his records had to be mixed and mastered not so that they sound great on the studio’s million dollar equipment but in his friend’s car.
