"Reading" is to audiobooks as "cycling" is to Peloton

If you can't appreciate the skill and talent involved in well-performed music in a genre you dislike, anything you have to say about music in genres you do like is meaningless.

I'm willing to bet that if we banned the use of leaf blowers for clearing snow, the ability to travel through urban environments without a car would not be worse than it currently is.

The biggest flaw in our modern-day economy is that people are willing to agree to an unjust option because it's the only option instead of just dying and helping the system to correct itself

I get why sparkling apple juice is treated as a non-booze fancy drink to feel like champagne. But with all the fancy non-alcoholic drinks that are now more accessible and popular than ever, can that stop?

I always find it interesting in a good way when I look at the websites for small marketing agencies—the kind I which I did subcontracted work for when I was freelancing full time—and see how their websites are old, out of date, or just generally unexciting.

it's like business is good enough that they don't care about their appearance, potentially to a detrimental-to-bringing-in-revenue level. Goals, I guess? But it's weird.

I find it funny when businesses that add up the total experience in their office and then brag that they have x number of years of experience in the field.

Bragging that you have "100 years of combined experience" without saying how many people are on the team could mean you have 100 newbies or 3 seasoned experts. It's not a qualification of anything!
