I’m with you. I used to use a lot more parentheses, but the break is cleaner. I opt for en dashes, though, because I find too em dashes to be too long. That could just be a MSWord preference because I don’t distinguish on other platforms.

I’m working on it, but a lot of my issues stem from repetitive motion injuries.

Crossing the street in Vietnam is the weirdest experience: you just slowly shuffle out, and this literal sea of mopeds parts around you like a school of fish around a shark

You relatives say hello, Mr. crabs

Lol. I had these guys beat in terms of hours, and their job was nowhere near as physical as mine was.

Now I get to be a desk jockey, and it’s fucking sweet. Gonna milk it, because I put my hours in.

In my case, it’s the combo of way, way to much walking in work boots and then later doing a lot of sitting. gotta shorten up those hip flexor, bae

Did they make a paper air plane out of that letter? The creases look like it

This is the most accurate thing ever. I’m pretty sure I still have dirt in some of the creases of skin, and I haven’t been in the field for 3 years

This is a brilliant comment - thanks for the laugh

Yes, but the dynamics of demand is rapidly changing. Look at the micromobility sector - there was nothing 5ish years ago, and now scooter and ebikes are everywhere.

the only thing keeping Chinese vehicles out are trade restrictions. Look at Europe: VW is in dire straights because they can’t compete with Chinese EVs.

I don’t think it’s market research though said research can look like this. The messaging doesn’t seem to line up.

Honestly, if I was a Ford shareholder, I would be dumping my shares as fast as possible - there’s no coming back from an open admission of defeat like that. He flat out said they can’t win, the barriers of entry are too high, and the key one (software like Xiaomi) doesn’t even really exist yet.

As others point out, the western automakers did this to themselves. Hoo boy did China out capitalism. Ironic

Strict for strict’s sake is bullshit. Holding your kids accountable for their actions, enforcing boundaries, and channeling their energy into productive ventures might be considered strict, but that’s good parenting in my book.

Nigel powers: look at you, you don’t even have a name tag! You don’t stand a chance. Put your guns down. That’s right, put them down on the floor.

Idk, they’re sticky these days on NSFW. A few years back anything went as long as it wasn’t nudity of gore.

That said, I wouldn’t want my boss walking by while I was browsing this particular meme.
