Who counts the numbers of people who show up to these organized protests? When do they count how many protesters showed up? And who are "they?" Who's counting the number of protesters? Will I be counted if I can only be there from 11-noon?

According to sociopolitical statistics they say if twice as many people attend this protest as did the last one, we will have 3% of the nation's population present which will begin to affect noticeable changes that we desire.

I work literally right next door to where one of the protests is being held which is awesome, so my conscience demands I contribute my presence.

I've never made that mistake and I've never personally witnessed anyone else slip either, but surely someone somewhere has. Especially in the years before smartphones & atomic clocks existed, when we had to manually set all our clocks.

I know that's why they always make it happen on a Saturday night Sunday morning so for most people it won't affect their work or school schedule the next morning

but Sunday mornings aren't always schedule-free for everyone. Plenty of people go to work/church/obligations on Sunday mornings,

so surely there's a non-zero chance that some clock mistakes have happened on daylight savings time Sunday mornings.

Do YOU know anyone who's made that mistake?

Within the last month or two I learned here that echolalia is an ADHD symptom. Apparently it's not neurotypical to constantly have songs going through your head that haunt you for days on end and they come into your head when you don't want them and you hate these songs like it's raining right now and I absolutely hate that song by the Eurythmics "here comes the rain again" but I fucking hate that song and that Annie Lennox woman with the man haircut who wears men's clothes staring into my eyes from her MTV video, and it's playing in my head. Help please. Is there a way to get rid of these songs in my head. They never end.

So I had to buy two of them to get as much as I used to get with one. Each one of these now cost $12. The total ounces of salmon you see here used to cost $7.

Let's say hypothetically you've got a bad case of covid & strep throat so you check into a hotel for a week to quarantine away from friends & family, at any point do you notify hotel staff of your illness? Or would you rather lay low, ashamed, not mention it, hoping/assuming they clean the room as well as possible after you leave. Knowing there's a possibility the housekeeper and anyone nearby may catch this bug??

Or

B) Get impatient, cut them off and tell them everything you know about the topic?

Or

C) Patiently let them finish, THEN tell them you already know, and everything you know about the topic?

I personally have a tendency to be an impatient douche sometimes so I admit I don't always handle these situations with the greatest patience & social grace.

Every phone I've ever bought in the past I've bought from Verizon store and the cost is always egregiouy extortionate. I know there is a less expensive way. Please tell me.

How to be sure the second-hand phone is in good shape & functional & legal & not stolen/ resold by criminals etc?

Update: Thanks y'all! I made my selection & purchase through Swappa. You made a girl happy today.

But I doubt he will soften her prison time. He'd better not.

When "K" is in the process of texting someone and he's typing but he doesn't submit it and he doesn't delete it either, he just leaves it hanging as a draft as he goes on with his day, will the other person keep seeing these undulating "K is typing" dots forever? Or will the dots disappear if K doesn't submit the text?
