    That makes me wonder, why are there capital letters in the first place? Could we not have done fine without them? There is no reason why each sentence has to start with a capital letter, it only adds another level of complexity to the written language. Names and titles would be just fine in lower case. I can write larger letters rather than using capital letters to express loudness. “Startrek into/Into Darkness” could finally have a common consensus on correct capitalization.

    Damn.


  • I live in a tourist heavy place. My biggest issue is that the influx of tourists is seasonal. During the summer, the number of tourists brings the infrastructure to knees and shops, restaurants and cafés are uncomfortably full. During the off season, maintenance of the roads serms to be of low priority and a lot of the shops, restaurants and cafés reduce their opening time or even close, and the town center becomes a ghost town.

    So no hate towards tourists, but the inconsistency of this place is very annoying.



  • I get that it’s bad that people with a large follower base are claiming to be something that they are not, but does that call for legal action? Or does it break with terms of service of xitter or whatever social media they are using? Are influencers legally held to a higher standard due to their line of work? (These are honest questions, not just rhetotical. I honestly don’t know.)

    Or is the main point that xitter had the information that they were lying, but didn’t put their knowledge to action?
