I kind of agree that remote working every single day gets very socially deprived very quickly. Although the office isn’t a place for socialising, not having anyone to talk to day in day out at work drives me a bit mad.

But I also think 90% of the time, working from home is better. Maybe a hybrid model where you only go to the office once or maximum twice a week or something could work for most people. The introverts and the extroverts reaching a compromise.

Yeah my office rents a WeWork space downtown and we only go there a couple days every few weeks. I like it, it’s a change of pace.

What? That’s absolutely incorrect. Cities are the number one most sought after and thriving alternative, especially among young people.

Maybe cities in the US, but that’s because they’re mostly poorly designed parking lots for suburbanites.

Cities are certainly not dying anywhere else on Earth wtf.

That’s good to hear! I wanted the Coral 7a but they only had it in sky blue, so I got that one, which also looks pretty good.

I just bought myself a pixel to replace my iPhone. So I guess I’m part of that growing trend. Personally the only thing that worries me is that I’ve heard the 7 and 7a have kind of crappy fingerprint detection, and I really would love to use it. But otherwise, I’m pretty excited for this!!

To be fair, if it truly were more convenient, countries like Japan, China, India or the Middle East that had no cultural reason to prefer one over the other, wouldn’t have chosen metric.

I don’t think Americans are either stupid or more inefficient for having the clearly more impractical system, but I can’t help feel that the only reason they’ve kept their very odd measuring system is that they will never recognize anything ever being better in other countries than it is in theirs.

In a way, the imperial stubbornness among Americans feels like yet another display of American exceptionalism and their odd superiority complex, than anything logical or even pragmatic.

That’s not what they’re saying.

They’re saying that the only way you can keep neat and easy conversions between same-dimension units is by maintaining a lot of those deprecated units such as furlongs or chains, because by removing them, now you end up with complete nonsense conversions.
