It's fine is used properly, but management tends to use it to mean "magically gooder."

I always want to do things by email instead of a meeting, but have to admit the meeting is often necessary. Of course it wouldn't be if people could actually read and comprehend a detailed email and if they could also actually communicate information into writing without expecting you to be their minds enough to make sense of the incomplete vague phases they hurriedly type.

I wouldn't actually mind "circle back" if it wasn't just used as cover to kick the can down the road.

It's hard to find old news but here is something like it: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/project-2025-fact-checking-democrats-misleading-and-overly-dramatic-claims/ar-BB1pXx9b

The Young Turks were an example though I don't have a specific link. There was plenty of pooh-pooing from the center left.

What's even worse was the people on the left disparaging those who were warning about Project 2025 as paranoid and hysterical.

Are the two of you more visually oriented than verbally oriented? If so, it's really cool that you stumbled on a better way to connect than talking.

I've read that removing earwax constantly can actually cause more earwax production.

Personally I do use qtips after every shower. Most of the time I don't get anything, and all I'm accomplishing is mopping up moisture. Once in a while I get a smear of orange wax and go in for a repeat. I think it varies wildly though; there is a big distinction between people with dry earwax vs wet, but I think there is also variation within those categories.

That changes the equation enormously. I read their text, and they do say they should be discarded after a use. That could be CYA, though. Do you just wash them with soap and water, or wipe them with alcohol or something?

Well I use like two qtips after every shower.

Finally! A solution the problem that qtips are so inexpensive!
