  • Expanding on your first point, be aware of the difference between “workout” and “work out”.

    “Workout” is a noun. “Work out” is a verb. You can tell because you can conjugate the verb without having to split it apart.

    “He works out”, and not “He workouts” or “He worksout”. That’s how you know it needs a space.

    You can tell the one without a space is a noun because you can pluralize it. “Arm workouts for women”.

    As a bonus: “Every day” means “each and every day”. “Everyday” means “typical”, like for clothing.

    You could have “everyday clothes”. But you don’t “work out everyday” – you work out every day.

    It’s funny when someone says “i workout everyday” thinking they wrote three words, yet they made three spelling/grammar mistakes. Even monolingual English speakers make these kinds of mistakes.





  • On Instagram, they just sometimes play in the “reel gallery”, but they never draw my attention. Do they play with sound? I have my sound off by default, only turning it on if I want to hear what I’m looking at.

    Or are people just swiping through full-screen reels? Lol

    I like to browse the menu before ordering. Not walk through the buffet, item-by-item in order, forcing myself to start eating each item before I know what it is.


  • And its hard not to engage when someone says ridiculous things like child deaths are acceptable cost to keep 2nd amendment

    Well, someone definitely “engaged” with that rhetoric! Lol

    I just don’t end up watching that stuff. Like, some random guy spewing nonsense into a microphone…I don’t know why I’d even tap on that video.

    Cat video, bird video, dog video, food video, travel destination video, retro game video, yes…

    Guy with a microphone in a mock studio? That one won’t even start playing.







  • It works the first couple of times the receiver gets feedback that way. In their entire lives.

    I’ve realized that what the article says applies to me – it can be hard to receive positive feedback when you’re anticipating the upcoming “constructive feedback”.

    And then you’re left wondering how hard it was for them to come up with the positive stuff. Is the positive stuff all fake just for the purposes of wrapping the “constructive” part?
