I don't know what Bermuda shorts are, but people should be allowed to wear whatever they want. Sure, we may prefer seeing professionals in professional attire, but to enforce any kind of dress code in any context is needlessly authoritarian. (Well, except for in entertainment where costumes are a part of the production.)
People shouldn't even have to wear clothes in public if they don't want to. The fact that we forcibly imprison people for exposing their natural body parts is a sad testament to how sexually hung up society is.
I wouldn't exactly consider it a legit "business," since it's an abuse of power using their government public servant/law enforcement positions. Besides that, it's not really "good" in the sense that they shouldn't be selling drugs to anyone, for the same reason drugs are illegal--they ruin lives.
Without looking into it, just going by the information you gave...it seems ludicrous on the face of it, like selfish, entitled, etc., but it could make sense. If the man really was sick all that time, his sick leave is probably the only source of income he has or can possibly get, to keep him off the streets (unfair as it may be for the company, but then who cares--companies are evil, exploitative profiteering machines), and 15 years makes for a lot of inflation. It's probable that what he was paid 15 years ago is no longer enough to cover the cost of living.
My other thoughts: he's lucky he was able to pull off getting sick leave for 15 years, and by suing them, he may be pushing his luck...they may find a reason to fire him.

What's your opinion on this video? Was the one who oiled the street a genius? https://youtube.com/shorts/0SF5xEjo2lk
I'm not sure if the streets were oiled or whatever happened to them on purpose. Some vehicle may have leaked the oil. But I can't understand the language that video is in. I guess if it was intentionally oiled, that's kind of a funny prank from some perspective, and perhaps clever, but it's not very funny for the people whose cars were damaged through no fault of their own...
to me they seem like a specific interest, a hobbyist thing. at least to a degree. i mean i guess a lot of people can appreciate a good-looking car. my mom and i are looking at them all the time. but i've never really been interested in car shows. seems a bit geeky and/or materialistic or something. and cars are such an arbitrary human technological invention, when you get down to it. yet we seem to appreciate them almost like we'd appreciate human bodies or animals.
Yes, it's true but it suffers from the common issue of using the term "love" to refer specifically to romantic relationships, which is a sad commentary on how much real love of people for each other is lacking in society. And romantic relationships are about the fakest love there is. It's mainly just an emotional "business" exchange. It's transactional. And that's exactly why the statement is true that romantic love is .... oh, I had misread the statement. I thought it said most uncomfortable. So, now I'm not sure what the statement means or which kind of "love" they're talking about. But no, love is definitely not most comfortable when it goes one way either way.
I don't understand the statement. Does "faithful" there refer to romantic relationship "fidelity"? And what are the options in this case? Does it mean that if they have good options for people to cheat with, they will cheat? If so, no, that's a cynical and just wrong statement. Many people wouldn't cheat. Or does it mean somebody wouldn't stay with their partner if somebody better comes along? That's more true, I guess, but still not even close to being categorically true. And, btw, I think it's generally more true for females than for males. Females see their men as interchangeable appendages, and they will "upgrade" to a better model with a better checklist of generic qualities if given the chance.
I'm not really sure. But I do know that if it's more than about, say, 20% true, it has to be the result of a mystical force like karma, the threefold law, or the law of attraction. And I think there are plenty of people who are genuinely kind people who consistently suffer at the hands of others, often because they're good people. And if it's that way for them now, it probably will continue to be that way for them. If there is a significant degree to which kindness comes back to you, it probably doesn't happen within the current lifetime. But then, why would it be any likely to happen later?

There are still analog clocks around, we have one in our house, and all the most expensive watches rich people like are analog, so it may help children to teach them analog clocks. It's just a matter of whether the trouble is worth it given how infrequent they are. But really, it's not worth it ever, because we currently teach children everything by force. We shouldn't be teaching children by force; they should be free to learn what they want.
I wouldn't spend most on the ring, because I think it's vain and selfish of women to want men to spend half a year's salary on their diamond rings. Probably the best thing to spend most of it on would the honeymoon, because that's an actual experience and you want it to be great. If I really wanted to get married and I wasn't sure she'd want to marry me, I might spend most on the proposal...but then, I've never really been that into the idea of marriage. And also, spending a lot on the proposal seems kind of entrapping. And what about the horrors if she doesn't accept.
