Why are people so offended by people who celebrate valentines day?

I think a lot of people bring their own emotional baggage into their assessment of valentines day and those who celebrate it, for better or for worse.

I just learned that there are Instagram accounts dedicated to sharing videos of (questionable) cops scaring innocent (mostly black) people. Was the world less racist before the internet?

I'm all for accountability, but its important these videos are not edited, commented over and long-form in nature. While it may reduce views to begin with, its a lot harder to defend, it will also help others with different views match it to the video. By all means make a short form edit to attract eyes to the story but the source must be credible.

what’s your go to way to relax after a bad day?

If the weather allows, go for a +5 mile walk, either with a good listener or on your own. If not, then I'd say doing a social media switch off is a good idea, and just giving yourself some 'me time' be it a hobby or pampering.

How are you? Honestly?

The US stock market registered a noticeable decline in tech stocks just because a chinese AI company announced their newest generative model was cheaper to operate. Are investors dumb? I maintain my opinion that tech companies are overvalued but that decline felt pretty exaggerated.

It was over exaggerated, my investments dipped £300 and the next day I gained £180 back already. Stocks are an uncertainty index, so dip and spike with news but they generally aline with longer term societal faith in technologies.

Mayor allows city staff and drivers to wear bermuda shorts due to extreme heat. Thoughts?

Considerate. Its good to look smart, but I feel for men who have to wear trousers for work when its very hot. Smart shorts are sensible.

Are you for or against illegal immigration?

I'm all for people wanting a better life, but to do so illegally isn't appropriate. Especially when there are legal and safer means to do so.

Have you ever dealt with debt? Mom spent too much last month and now I need to burn a portion of my savings to cover her bills 🙄

Just a mortgage and student debt. Its painful, but I'm doing my best to pay it off quickly so as to not suffer from insane interest rises.

Do you think CA is on fire because Newsome “wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn’t work!), but didn’t care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid.” ???

So now that I'm back at work I am not allowed to be sick for 2 years 🙃 what should I do about the surgery I need to have next year?

What specifically did they tell you in writing? They are breaking many laws if that is the formal instruction they have given you.

IS eye contact the kiss of shy people?

As in... eyes physically touching...? Because if so I'd argue thats how psychopaths kiss.

What would you do if you won 14million tonight?

Basically as I've said before but I would ramp it up. We're talking international properties and a major investment portfolio where I'd live off of the earnings. So I'd never work again.
