If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
Anna Chancellor, who played Caroline Bingley in the 1995 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice is an Austen descendant. She can trace her lineage maternally to Edward Austen. He offered Chawton Cottage rent free to his mother & two sisters. #JaneAusten is Anna's eight-times great aunt.
@IngeborgKleijer@FitbitSupport Same thing happened to mine the same day. Platform switchover day and FitBit is not taking responsibility. Instead CS argued with me that mine was a replacement and they won’t help in any way. Planned obsolescence but it hit Charge 5s all on the same day.
@Toddwrtr @fitbit @fitbit @fitbitsupport I’m seeing posts about the Charge 5s dying. Mine did the same thing on the day of platform switchover. First was the circle ⭕️ with the white X. Two days now at full charge-dies within hours. Resetting doesn’t work
Relationship tip: when your partner makes an awful but innocent mistake (leaves their phone in the cab, forgets their passport when heading to the airport for an international flight, drops and shatters a beloved item, gets in a fender bender, etc.), don't get mad at them. It makes no sense (it was accidental) and it accomplishes nothing except supplementing an already bad situation with an unnecessary fight.
Instead, think about it like this: as a couple, you will commit like 20 of these hideous mistakes a year and who knew that one of them was gonna happen today, but it did, so that sucks, but it's also a little bit funny, and let's just make the best of it.
This turns those moments from relationship-damaging to relationship-building. And of course, what goes around comes around—you do dumb things too, and you'd much rather your partner be a laughing teammate than an angry parent in those situations.
I didn't used to do this, I learned it from my wife. I am a frequent committer of hideous mistakes, and it surprised me that she never got mad about it, and then I started being like that too.
A man at church gave a talk with Pioneer stories. But they were stories about women pioneers. He told me afterward that he saw the Barbie movie last night and changed his talk to have a story about a woman instead of only stories of men.
Mission accomplished, Greta Gerwig. ❤️
