I generally disagree with everything else you're saying but something that hasn't been called out is that The Indies was never used to refer to India, the country. In current day, there's the West Indies, which are annoyingly next to North America. In the past, East Indies or 'The Indies' referred to the greater Indian peninsula, but not the country itself, and not West Indies. By using this example, you've highlighted a flaw in your argument that the term 'America' has to encapsulate North America and South America, as 'The Indies' doesn't even encapsulate West Indies.

Not 100% sure I have the exact right cars, but it would seem the Ioniq 5 is actually bigger. More incentive to keep the Kona!

Oh interesting I always though the Ioniq 5 was bigger. And yes good choice keeping the paid off car, EV depreciation is no joke these days.

Ioniq 5 / EV6?

1 is crying out for help instead of yelling at someone

2 doesn't do anything

3 is a good example. Warning someone of imminent danger is a place where yelling at someone actually helps

4 again doesn't do anything except serve the same purpose as 1

5 again doesn't do anything. Nobody's joining ICE with their conscience intact

Okay, tell me about one situation where yelling at someone achieves anything. I can't remember the last time I yelled at anyone.

Idk how strict you guys are with the 40 hours a week. Does 39 count? 38? 35?

I also struggle to see why travelling out of the country is not allowed. Unless it's some sort of really secretive and sensitive work, why can't employees leave the country? Are we talking vacation? Time off?

Gen Z and I work in customer service. The average consumer has become such an entitled, idiotic, immature prick that you cannot reason with. Guess what age range these pricks tend to be?

If people are consistently breaking an internal rule, that means the rule should probably be looked at. I work with gen z, I manage gen z, they're just people that society has kicked in the balls over and over and over again and their will to do anything has been eroded since they were conscious. Their primary social years cut off in the middle of a global pandemic. Maybe work with empathy and someone will want to work with you.

It's like there's never a good reason to yell at anyone, let alone a minimum wage service employee who's barely scraping by.

Hey man if you're going around yelling at service employees I think it's clear who's in the wrong.

I think I've seen what you're talking about. Wouldn't hurt to have some regulation on the animation. I really like the animation on the current Mazda3 and I think Audi's been doing a good job with them for a while.
