The beast with two backs.

This is the way. Though I've had to come to a full stop and pull off the road a couple times...

Intelligent people leave a whole fucking lot more than just two car lengths.

This is also why you vote in the primary of the party with the candidates you like least.

If you view any candidate in party A as better than every candidate in party B, you need to vote in party B's primary so the best candidate for you will make it to the general election. Then even if party A loses the general election you still get the candidate you like most from party B.

This was a key strategy for black people in the south to get the least racist Democrats into office. It's basically ad hoc ranked choice voting and it reduces the power of extremists.

Jareth seems at least a little ungay considering his infatuation with Sarah.

I have left-hand threaded fittings on a few things and always say to myself aloud "This is reverse-threaded" before I attempt to turn them then still fuck up first turn. It doesn't stop me from fucking it up the first time - it just helps me remember why.

When I train new people on this equipment I tell them to say it aloud, show them, still fuck up the first turn, then they laugh.

Then I have them do it in front of me including saying it aloud - and they fuck up the first turn...

When you've been doing something unconsciously for decades it's really hard to break.

I distinctly remember God had Noah build the boat himself...

"Those against making Election Day a federal holiday argue that such a large focus on one day is misguided, since almost 70% of ballots in the 2020 presidential election were cast before Election Day."

Tone is nearly always a bullshit argument used to dismiss the content of what's said without addressing it.

Good communicators don't worry about it too much because there are lots of reasons someone can take a certain tone - for example if they're tired or stressed! So they just make sure they understand what the person is conveying without worrying about how it's conveyed.

Someone who focuses much on tone is likely a poor communicator themselves, or frequently just trying to be manipulative.

While sedation is also accurate, I suspect you meant sedition.
