It doesn’t help that everyone perpetually keeps their navigation apps oriented as “forward up”, thus any sense of directionality is forever lost. They’ll use my navigator with it set “north up” and get very confused at intersections. How is this such a difficult skill?

Buttigieg was always an ineffective leader. When he was mayor of South Bend I regularly heard people complaining about how public services took a dive when he went into office. Things were more expensive, ran slower, these fancy new trash trucks were rolled out that couldn’t even fit down our alleys… Embarrassing.

Here is a good anecdote: westernjournal.com/south-bends-infrastructure-bad…

I disagree. Male/female is used plenty with humans, but it tends to be used in a more clinical or ‘objective’ manner, such as in legal documents, autopsy reports, police suspect descriptions, things of that sort.

I think the use of, e.g., “Look at those four males over there”, it has a bit of a connotation of separation of the personhood of the people involved. A man is a living, thinking being; he is worthy of dignity, and he has a soul. A ‘male’ can almost be called an ‘it’: it has a characterization of cold, scientific classification.

What kind of climate do you live in? I’m curious what area you’re in where the outdoors is too unforgiving. I love walking on doors in any kind of weather, although I understand if it’s prohibitively hot and cold someone wouldn’t want to walk in that kind of weather. I often keep my phone on me too, but I find myself so distracted by nature and the change of scenery in general that I don’t even think to look at it. It’s pretty easy for me to disconnect for hours at a time, if not just to make sure that my family hasn’t messaged me for something important.
