Does everyone assume those ZoomInfo "notice of personal information processing" emails are not, in fact, because they have to or want to be nice, but because they know some people will click through to see what they scraped? Or is it just me?

While I would appreciate a little more context, I think this is fine. It’s really saying “…when you can” rather than assuming the recipient has the same priorities and timeline.

If it were a real emergency, my mom would call. The rarity of her calls shows how urgent they are.

Rude: someone chiming in with a factually-inaccurate answer in a group chat while the asker of a question is awaiting your opinion to a question directed at you (asked in the group for everyone's benefit of your opinion, not for discussion purposes)

Social media: it’s just the market’s answer to a generation that demanded to perform so the market said,

"Here. Perform. Perform everything to each other, all the time for no reason."

It's prison. It's horrific. It’s performer and audience melded together.

What do we want more than to lie in our bed at the end of the day and just watch our life as a satisfied audience member.

I know very little about anything. But what I do know is that if you can live your life without an audience, you should do it.

Sure, there's no good in being right and dead. But flip the whole thing around.

There's nothing stopping you from not noticing the pedestrian with right-of-way and getting away with out penalty.

But what good is being legally innocent if you killed someone?

The term "the ick" is starting to give me the ick

Like "literally," I kinda hate it when people say "and it always has been" or similar. I know exaggeration has a use and I'm usually certain that's what they're going at, but I can't help but think they're just making themselves look dumb by stating a blatant falsehood

This is ridiculous. I regularly get blaring super-loud annoying unblockable Amber alerts on my phone for kids who have disappeared at locations more than a 4-hour-drive away from me.

But today, there's a missing 10-year-old who disappeared just ten miles away from me, and no alert. I wouldn't have known at all if I didn't have the FEMA app installed and allow it to show notifications.

Want to take a guess what color his skin is?

What is your favourite age of child you've parented and what's the oldest age of child you've parented?

All I need in life is a platform to share what fun fact I just learned without condemnation, interruption, or annoying unnecessary topic changes, and I will be happy.

100% sure I had this problem when I dislocated and fractured my elbow earlier this year xkcd.com/883/

I keep seeing two numbers used to describe the size of the podcast industry:

"Podcasting is a $2 billion a year industry."

"The podcast industry is worth $20 billion."

Can anyone tell me where these numbers came from and how they're calculated?

(They're often quoted but never cited)

I love soup but I hate serving it. It's so hard to get a fair amount of solids.

Bonus question: ask your spouse the same thing and also if they'd be okay if you did it
