Lmao!

1. I was making an allusion to Inigo Montoya from the Princess Bride.

2. If a person truly believes that then I think they suffer from the same lack of imagination as Vizzini.

The problem is people use irregardless to mean regardless. The prefix ir is meant to mean not or opposite (like responsible and irresponsible). I’m scared the word is already following the path of literally when people actually me figuratively.

Lucky! We have them all over the place. The users seem so excited to be riding them that they don’t think about anything else. If a scooter approaches a stop sign they don’t slow down. Instead, they expect for a car that has stopped and starts to take its turn to slam on its brakes for them. Likewise, some of the users ride them on sidewalks and expect pedestrians to move out of their way.

I think the issue is companies have become reliant on targeted advertising. Because of that other companies now sell products that harvest their users data and sell it to a different type of customer. If a customer buys a product then they shouldn’t be used as a product. A users information shouldn’t be required for a company’s success like it is for Facebook and google. I think what apple is doing is a step in the right direction.

I’m a cyclist and driver too, and I always get annoyed when cyclists always blame the cars. Most cyclist don’t follow the laws and then yell at you for their fault. I stopped my bike at a stop sign, the dude behind me wasn’t prepared for it and hit me with his bike. He then yelled at me for stopping. Honestly, both drivers and cyclists are rude and selfish on the road.

callinOutLiars | 5 years ago | on: Am I Disabled?

The people I just yell and cuss out. The family part is harder. I know they love me, but they have no clue what is going on when it comes to simply walking. They can be supportive, but if I tell them I can’t do something like take the trash out it can turn into an argument. At that point I’m usually accused of using my disability as an excuse. That really sucks. Sometimes I just do what is being asked even though it is at my detriment.

It seems society sucks at helping cripples. I’m in constant pain while walking, but while wearing shoes (covering up the noticeable deformation) I have been yelled at many times for parking in handicap spaces. I have had people and family tell me it is no big deal and I need to deal with it (if you can walk, but still crippled no one actually considers you crippled).

There have been a lot of reports of UFOs at supersonic speeds with the ability to stop on a dime. One explanation is aliens and one is a conspiracy that the US government has had access to a warp drive for decades. I don’t think Occam’s razor applies in this circumstance since both seem very fanciful.

They aren’t informed if they can’t code or debug. A leader shouldn’t ask people to do something they wouldn’t do. I’m this case the leader can’t even do what they are asking others to do. In my opinion, they shouldn’t be the leader then.
