    The definition of deporting does not specify that it must be to the country of origin. It is simply the expulsion of a foreigner from a country. No specific destination is needed.

    This may seem pedantic, but words matter, and if you’re starting your argument by trying to twist and change what words mean, then you’re already weakening your point. Especially when you end your argument with GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.


  • Gmail on mobile is pretty horrendous as well.

    Me: “Hey Google, can you pull up the emails with links to the concert tickets I purchased a few months back?”

    Google: “Here is every correspondence you’ve had with the ticket seller smashed into a single email with only the latest one visible”

    “But I purchased two tickets separately that came in different emails, how do I just get to those?”

    “🤷‍♂️”



  • I get the feeling you’re not from the US. In the vast majority of US cities, bike infrastructure is either non-existent, or so limited/unprotected that it’s still dangerous to use.

    Let me try to give a good comparison. Telling people to switch to biking in US cities is like telling someone to switch to biking on the Autobahn. It’s impractical, it’s dangerous, and often it’s even illegal. You might think that’s hyperbole, but I promise it’s not. For many major cities, 40 MPH (65 KPH) is considered a low speed, found on side-streets and other non-major roads; in neighborhoods, where kids play, it drops down to 30 MPH. On highways, you’re looking at 50 MPH minimum, sometimes up to 75 MPH, and these are inner-city highways.

    Americans don’t choose not to bike out of laziness, but because, in most places, biking as a form of transportation will get you killed.
