New York and Florida both have more international tourism. California is third followed by Nevada and Texas.

No. And his books are good.

He tithes and hopes those funds go toward the good things the church accomplishes.

He has a lot of explanation on his relationship with the church and his stance on not allowing his religion to negatively affect his writing.

He has consistently advocated for lesser know authors and fought against Amazon to improve conditions for them.

His books are full of LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse people, women passing the bechdel test, and irl cultural inspiration from around the world.

He actually hires people to consult on things like schizophrenia so he doesn’t promote misinformation.

The thing you are asking him to do is abandon his community. Instead he works to better it from the inside. He is a lecturer at BYU and is directly exposed to the future leaders of that church. Let him cook.

So yeah I don’t like his religion’s track record but anyone who has investigated the guy can see he’s a fair author and the criticism is hyperbole.

This comment is a breath of fresh air in this doomer echo chamber. Somewhere along the line people stopped wanting to fix things and now the people we need to save this country are leaving in droves. We need to remain positive and organized.

Horns are ABSOLUTELY used to alert you to something you need to be aware and prevent accidents all the time. Just because assholes like to misuse them doesn’t change the reasoning on why they are required on all vehicles.

Sirens are specifically useful when you are around a blind corner and an emergency vehicle is coming toward you. Or when you otherwise don’t have line of sight with the stoving lights.

Earplugs don’t descriminate they just dull your senses. Noise canceling headphones are to a lesser extent a handicap.

I suppose sirens and horns are irrelevant to you?

This is true in every state but Montana.

I didn’t get to use a calculator IN CLASS until late in my bachelor studies — forget about using them for tests. In a world with Chatgpt we need to teach in a more sterile environment or standards are going to swing into the ditch. My friend who is a grade school teacher has told me some stories that would make your ears bleed.

The smell of LJS actually gives me a headache. Nothing else does this to me the same way.

Bulletproof coffee works well to clean you out and if you are on the Keto diet it’s a decent pick.

My brother bought a shirt that simply says “Crab Rangoon” in the font the band Slayer uses. That’s the correct way to share your autism in shirt format.

Woooooosh

The cruelty improves the flavor. We should start waterboarding our vegetables to clean the manure off and give them that inhumane zing.

Thank you for sharing this bit of culture.

This is much better but your previous comment was awful. It read like a LLM alone wrote it.

That being said I can’t tell you why specifically it reads like that. I’m forwarding it to my friend who is a English professor to find out. If English is your second language then just keep at it and please don’t take the criticism here personally.

Please tell me of this enlightened place you come from where racism and discrimination do not exist. Surely they also are accepting refugees and I need but apply? No?

Everyone but my tribe are _______. Hehe I’m so clever.

I think these stairs are in a hotel in Prague/Praha. I swear I have seen them.

My non-negotiable medicines were developed while utilizing animals as test subjects. I own pets and I will not entertain the idea that needs to change. I’d rather avoid the confusion in naming and not debate what qualifies as vegan.

Mountains don’t grow in a day. We don’t feel the ground shifting under us.

I would argue the majority of people react to sharp critique by closing themselves off. I know plenty of people that started by reducing their meat intake to a few meals a week. That kind of conversion is the most likely to get results.
