I love your thoughts here. I hadn’t ever thought of ways you can last minute engineer a way for the vehicle to keep the pedestrian from being crushed rather than thrown up

I like this - but would companies that fail (in being second) not get credit for their work? You could imagine the second place actually having a more effective product at the end.

Remember to support systems/organizations working to make changes that allow for challengers from outside the main two parties to succeed. (Like ranked choice voting where not voting democratic doesn’t mean giving power to Republican or vice versa!)

If you say guns kill people one more time, I will shoot you with a gun, and you will, coincidentally, die.

I can respect that. But also- set aside money on a regular basis (cash in an envelope for the physical reality or in a budgeting app) until you have enough to get one. And then splurge on that or something else you want more by then!

Wait. What? Who???

Also works - similar reasons. Soap every day can hurt skin more than letting it do it’s on thing. But I absolutely adore showers - I just prefer to try and let my hair oils do their thing until appearing professional forces me to shampoo.

Back of my neck! I always have a shower cap on on non shampoo days and I usually miss my neck.
