You haven’t raised any concerns, what exactly did you expect people to address? Literally the only thing you did was whine about people having a different opinion and strongly suggesting your view is the only “sensible” one. There’s nothing to discuss there.

You’re right, I’ve never had to deal with any of those while driving. Can you imagine construction workers closing a road? Crazy, just never happens.

The town Oldham is manc (of or related to Manchester), old ham is mank (disgusting, more often “manky”). It’s a very regional pun.

If you’re living somewhere with hard water you’re probably already used to the kind of issues you’ll have, mineral deposits will build up over time and make it less efficient so you’ll need to clean it regularly. I can’t imagine vinegar would cause any damage but you should probably check the manual first, there could be maintenance instructions in there.

It’s more that the characters have been evolving for a few millennia so they don’t look exactly as they did originally. For instance 山 meaning mountain was originally three distinct mountains and 目 used to be an eye.

A saloon is where you get a drink, a salon is where you get a haircut.

I’m not sure about that, I think the real issue here is that there just aren’t enough train lines

On an article about employees not getting paid someone commented with the excuse that they’re moving “more in line with youtube” where creators don’t get paid. Since you apparently disagree with the obvious meaning, how did you interpret that?

So you believe it’s okay to not pay the people you hire because Google doesn’t pay people who upload videos to Youtube?

Market share isn’t relevant here, if a company hires you to do something they pay you for your work. If they don’t recoup their costs from the work they hired you to do that’s a bad business decision on their part and not a valid reason to not pay you. This is why developed countries have employee rights laws.

Do you consider that a valid reason to hire people and not pay them? To me it just sounds like an excuse for a company to abuse a lack of employee rights to get free labour.

This is validation seeking, not a legitimate question.

Some local residents have not been onboard with the lack of car spaces at the new station.

If you need a car to reach the station it’s questionable to claim you’re local.
