I work in corporate retail in the USA. It's generally acceptable if you're out of the office on a business lunch. Cracking open a beer in the kitchen at lunch probably wouldn't have any immediate consequences but you're probably looking outside of the company for a promotion.

As a liberal male from CA; she's just not likeable. She gives off the energy of that high strung person everyone's trying to avoid talking to at the cookout.

Then again Donald Trump gives off that creepy conspiracy theorist pedo vibe that you'd also avoid and the right loves him.

That's the general conservative mindset. It's why lies work so well on them, get them to believe the lie and they'll never let it go.

I take the light rail into work from the suburbs of Seattle into downtown. Trains run every 7-8 minutes. They're expanding it in all directions now. Only downside is that a lot of homeless ride the train because it's cold as heck on the streets. That's a societal problem though, not an issue with the train.

Most people don't hate BMW's or their drivers, it's a joke that they're all stuck up a-holes. There's similar jokes for people driving Tesla's being oblivious (fascists too now lol), Nissan Altima drivers being incredibly reckless, Prius' for always going 15 under the limit in the passing lane, etc.

I saw an e46 323 for $2000 yesterday, it's also a cheap option here.

It's been theorized that Amazon is progressively making all Alexa devices worse so they can sell you on a subscription based AI version.

We did pay for it.

We're still giving Elon $80 million a day.

Don't feel bad. I'm a man in the USA working in a corporate office. When my son was born I took my time off and it was fantastic for bonding with my son and helping my wife out. Honestly IDK how so many women do it alone.

I'd feel worse about making my wife work extra hard than my colleagues... That said, the person covering my area screwed everything up so badly I decided it was better to find a new job vs fix it. So I took my three months, worked a week and put in my notice and got paid out for another two months of accrued leave.
