The trick is to either get an example from them of what they think is a descriptive invoice, or to break down your invoice filling procedure into a step by step workflow or checklist.
Someone isn’t necessarily being an asshole, that person has their own struggles, goals and priorities. Managing a condition and someone else’s expectations or their own condition is the hardest part of working together. This is where soft skills help, too

Urban planning is tricky, some times nice ideas have super tricky executions. Planting fruit/food trees in public spaces also accounts for rodents and pests, and managing disease vectors. Was just reading about fruit bats and Marburg virus spread in Central Africa…, regardless, just something that needs to be done with planning and consideration https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2013/04/23/178603623/want-to-forage-in-your-city-theres-a-map-for-that

What’s good about Amazon anyway? It’s better to get stuff directly from a sellers site, even better if they’re indie. There’s not much value to prime shipping anymore, most sellers are pretty good about it now ironically because of Amazon. Using services like Amazon just creates more pollution, wage depression and small business closures. Use services like Amazon less, favor indie and small and fair wage businesses

I don’t know, but I think anyone who cares about progressive ideals should try to make it advantageous for amoral intelligent people to favor those ideals.
There’s no such thing as doing anything for altruistic or communal prospects just for the sake of it, nothing is turning back that clock on reaping the benefits of capitalism, and we can only work with what we have now.
I think ultimately everyone wants self-preservation, where family and community may be an extension of the self, that’s a good starting point. Things are super depressing now to say the least, which is why people who believe in progressive ideals need to hold on even harder.

University of Texas law professor Lee Kovarsky said, "People confuse telling hard truths with just being a total f------ idiot."
Not enough people are shamed into keeping quiet these days, they think they’re being politically incorrect or edgy or owning woke libs. They’re really just letting everyone who knows how things work that they don’t know

It’s less about favoring Republicans and more about the fact that the U.S. does not have ranked choice voting, or more than two viable parties, so it becomes an all or nothing team sport

Last time Republicans won the popular vote was because of 9/11, so 2004, but they always lost otherwise since 1988. The racism and sexism are open wounds from the civil rights movement in the 60s and the women libs movement in the 70s. Most of the red voting states are super low population, so there’s no love for republicans other than their gerrymandering and electoral college fixing.
I am pretty sure Trump is winning it in 2024 because of the way some of the swing states are removing access to voting. It’s such a fucking fraud

Trumps pov is easy to understand, and so he’s easy to buy. You only need to stroke Trumps ego and speak his language and he’s on your side. That’s why Republican politicians think they can control him, except he’s too neurotic and unstable, likely because of narcissism made worse by dementia.
No one really votes for Republicans, that’s why they have to gerrymander and keep the electoral college alive. There’s like maybe 35%-37% of the American pop. which really supports their pov. The swing states are only ever an issue because of voter disenfranchisement, not because people actually swing. Very few people actually swing vote.
Systems based on perverse incentives to exploit human and natural resources will blame anything and everything than themselves
There’s no such thing as Judeo-Christian vision for the founding of America. People need to take back their lives from fascists and their false narratives. I am specifically bringing up Islam because of loony loomers Islamophobia. > The Founders of this nation explicitly included Islam in their vision of the future of the republic. Freedom of religion, as they conceived it, encompassed it. Adherents of the faith were, with some exceptions, regarded as men and women who would make law-abiding, productive citizens. Far from fearing Islam, the Founders would have incorporated it into the fabric of American life. Ideally, America should be a secular nation with freedom to practice any faith in personal life.
> There was some good news for Trump though—many of his campaign’s points of attack against Harris and the Biden administration appeared to connect with voters, with 47 percent saying he prioritizes a good climate for business (compared to 37 percent for Harris) and 43 percent saying he would prioritize lowering the cost of household goods (compared to only 36 percent for the Democratic nominee). Harris needs to speak at a fourth grade level without sounding condescending. Are people even listening, or are they dumb? It’s probably the latter, but it’s not their fault they’re dumb. There are well-oiled propaganda machines making fools of us all.
Every accusation is a confession
I’ve decided undecided voters have low critical thinking skills and/or are attention seekers
> The Israelites took the transgender trope from their surrounding cultures and wove it into their own sacred scripture. The four-Hebrew-letter name of God, which scholars refer to as the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, was probably not pronounced “Jehovah” or “Yahweh,” as some have guessed. The Israelite priests would have read the letters in reverse as Hu/Hi — in other words, the hidden name of God was Hebrew for “He/She.” Counter to everything we grew up believing, the God of Israel — the God of the three monotheistic, Abrahamic religions to which fully half the people on the planet today belong — was understood by its earliest worshipers to be a dual-gendered deity. https://archive.is/MsSEL
> If depression is the emotional expression of the immobilization response, then the solution is to move out of that state of defense. Porges believes it is not enough to simply remove the threat. Rather, the nervous system has to detect robust signals of safety to bring the social state back online. The best way to do that? Social connection. For people who don’t prefer social connection, I’ve seen that exercise works well Edit: just want to highlight that polyvagal theory, the main point behind this article, is unsubstantiated thus far https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvagal_theory
