Yeah, they may be a little thoughtless

The issue at hand is that there are enough people out there who would find “OK.” to be too brusque and the advice is to change that period to an exclamation point to avoid that. It’s an easy solution. If you don’t agree, then just keep doing what you’re doing and just accept the fact that some people out there will…

Just read the top comments. The whole point is “I’m going to use it, whether it hurts your feelings or not.”

I don’t think it’s necessarily hypersensitivity— most people aren’t pearl-clutchingly offended at a simple “ok,” but it really can come off as terse or dismissive in certain contexts. The author gives several examples, too.

Oh no, you underestimate the depth of my gluttony.

Pro tip: always volunteer to bring the thing you’re most excited about eating.

You’re spending way too much time on simple e-mails, man.

Yeah, it’s a little ironic how so many comments are like “I don’t care about your feelings, so deal with it” instead of realizing that changing your response a little is a very low-cost way to greatly reduce friction in communication. It’s like standing in the middle of an escalator instead of just taking half a step…

If you’re jonesing for a sedan profile, why not the Prius Prime (technically a hatchback) or the Honda Clarity?

Charging stations at businesses is a nice perk, but residential areas are where the chargers are most needed-- particularly for urban/apartment dwellers. Ideally charging would happen at off-peak hours (i.e. at night), and most people aren’t going to be shopping or working in the office between 11PM-7AM.

The original article mentions it several times as US$1.4 million, so one can only assume that the guy actually spent that much money on a video game character instead of buying up real estate in San Francisco or Vancouver.

And here I thought I had it bad when I missed a zero and sold a stack of Midnight Salmon at a 90% discount.

The bras I bought from them 10 years ago were actually pretty high quality, but somewhere along the line they really started cutting corners. Once they unceremoniously killed off their BioFit bra (ironically marketed as their “most popular bra), the company was dead to me.

Weird. I thought she would have just teamed up with MUJI to put out a cute stationary and cutlery collection, but clearly I have underestimated her ambitions.

Now I want to refold the sheet sets in my closet.

And here I am, playing Devil May Cry, and buying and maxing out every ability before finally picking up Air Hike.

I seem to find the ones with leaves attached more often in Asian supermarkets.

Since I have dry earwax, I live dangerously with an ear pick/stick:

I can’t tell if you’re serious or sarcastic, but I was more referring to the whether or not these are actually the specs for the Polestar 1, not the Polestar 2.

The turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the front of the 2020 Polestar 2 makes only 326 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. But it’s also coupled to an integrated starter generator, and it’s joined by a pair of electric motors at the rear which add 232 HP and 354 lb-ft for a well-rounded package …
