I didn’t know about that one either!
I know this is off topic, but - why didn’t anyone tell me there’s a species called a raccoon dog?!
Eh, the doctor character was the worst one to me. The religious woman was a character you were intended to dislike, but the doctor character I believe was intended to just be a curmudgeon who is generally good, except she wound up being extremely off putting instead.
Parsing that headline took a few tries, especially with the picture of a fenced off bus parking lot. At first i read it as an actual guard dog being able to more frequently find black girls’ faces.
Russia is still profiting handsomely from oil sales, in large part due to India buying so much of it.
There are 2 different categorization systems - botanical and culinary. Both are valid systems for their topic, but ONLY for their one topic. Calling a tomato a vegetable is the correct answer for cooking, but the incorrect answer for botany, and vice versa.
The drawings are so expressive!
Just a question for clarity here - you’re saying that a person of sound mind and can communicate should be killed against their will?
“Polarizing” doesn’t mean “almost everyone disagrees with you”. It means “many people agree with you and many people disagree with you”.

All large explosions cause a mushroom cloud, not just nukes
I literally out loud did a slow “whooooaaaaa”
I don’t know what makes you think Biggie was some kind of clean cut do-gooder
I didn’t read your whole comment, but from what i did read I can say this is basically the correct answer. The only thing I’d add is to also include nice sentiments and productivity explanations.
Like:
“Hey [person’s name], do you have a couple minutes? I wanna have a quick chat. I wanna let you know that I’m a significant introvert, which means i need alone time and and social boundaries. I think you’re a very nice person and i appreciate all the efforts you’ve made trying to connect with me, but that actually makes things more difficult for me. It emotionally stresses me out, and that in turn also reduces my productivity at work. I think you’re great, but it would be really helpful to me if there were no extra social interactions with me beyond what’s needed for our work to get done smoothly. I know you have good intentions when asking about my personal life and striking up conversations, and i honestly appreciate that intent, but it would be great if I could have social interactions kept to the minimum. I really appreciate your consideration on this stuff, thanks.”
Why?
