  • I feel embarrassed to say this, but I straight up have to use reminders to go “hey, talk to X person” and set them up in advance. Because otherwise our chats will just be me going “happy birthday” or “happy new year” and that’s it for the year.

    It’s not that my friends aren’t important to me, its just that it never occurs to me naturally to be the one reaching out. Can’t tell if I’m a bad friend or if I just have zero object permanence for people lmao




  • No, still on the restaurants side. Like yes, it was a mistake and they should have presented it earlier, but asking for a burger to be done medium isn’t a common thing here in Canada. They might not have thought about the waiver until then.

    Edit: my point here is that this article is presenting the waiver itself as some kind of wrongdoing or indictment about the restaurant’s quality/safety. To me, this seems wrongheaded and the timing of the waiver being brought out seems more like “whoops we forgor” thing than a “desperately covering our ass” thing – since again, medium burgers aren’t really a thing here.

    I’m not going to fault the hotel for trying their best to please customer requests and the customer being Pikachu shock faced when he’s asked to not sue the restaurant for accommodating his McDeath Burger extra value meal.


  • They’re also useful for separating multiple lists when using a comma would make it look like an item is an extended list.

    So let’s say I want to express:

    "My contacts are:

    • Jessica, Cook (as in a job title, not a name)

    • James, MD (as in the professional certification, not the name ‘MD’)

    • Doug, ABC (maybe to show that Doug works at ABC)"

    If I said:

    “My contacts are Jessica, Cook, James, MD, Doug, ABC.”

    There’s no clear indication of what is a list member and what is a new list. But this:

    “My contacts are Jessica, Cook; James, MD; Doug, ABC.”

    is a bit clearer. (There are probably better examples but I’m shooting from the hip here lol)
