My grandmother had to marry in secret because married women weren't allowed to work. That was considered taking a job from a man who needed to support his family.

She wore her wedding ring on a chain around her neck, and one day it fell out when she leaned over. She was fired that very day.

Saying "please" when asking someone to do you a favor isn't excessive, IMHO. It indicates that you are making a request and not issuing an order, and recognizes that you are grateful for the assistance.

Presumably you had to travel to get there. It's likely you didn't have anything to drink while travelling. So they offer you a drink.

Also, it's nice to sit and chat while enjoying a drink, whether that is a warm drink (coffee, tea, whatever), a cold drink (water, juice, soda, whatever), or an alcoholic drink (beer, wine, whatever).

Is Israel green in the bottom map or not? 🧐

The people in the trolley problem aren't necessarily tied to the track. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I use Wero for basically everything and don't have any problems with it. Maybe I don't buy from companies that are dodgy enough? 🤔

Possibly because in the past there was a notion that doctors would lie to their patients "for their own good", and that the doctor's decision about your care was something you had to just accept.

The notion that patients could advocate for their own care arose during the boomers' lifetime.

As a general rule, it's always too close to an election to prevent Republicans from disenfranchising voters, but never too late to prevent Democrats from making voting more accessible.

We can't take care of these little things. These scams you got going on...

Amazing that the health and education of the people are simultaneously little things, scams, and unaffordable by the federal government.
