Depends what.
Customer-facing work: you can stay open longer.
Office work: yeah, since productivity plummets, I don’t think it helps much, if at all.

Just heard that song (and band) for the first time, and it’s great!
If you get a new customer, you may get one for several years without adding any new effort.
Wow, that’s wild.
Are you saying you’ve seen stalls that did not have walls or doors?
Interesting.
Here in Québec, most towns and villages either have a native name, or saint’s name.
So they’ll show family photos while playing “We shall destroy”?
That would just be weird.
You’re just… into heavy metal. And that’s fine. And I’m surprised you can’t discuss of those bands with fellow metalheads. In my experience, they’re often liked and held in great reverence.
A subgenre falling outside of metal doesn’t mean that it sucks. Everyone is right in what they like.
Yea. “Female” and “male” don’t sound weird to me in themselves. I don’t see then as in a different category of words than “women” or “boys”. But using it in an inconsistent way would be weird to me as well. If in a class, the girls, or women, are in the same age as the boys, or men, then it should be either “girls and boys”, or “women and men”. Or “females and males”. But “females and boys” is just inconsistent.
Doesn’t that encourage urban sprawl?
Once, as a teenager, I switched channels on the TV, and there was a movie. A caption appeared on screen: “Rhode Island”.
“Nice!” I thought. “I always like movies set in cultures that are very foreign to mine.”
As the movie went on, I was increasingly confused, as those Greeks, or Turks, seemed very similar to US Americans, and the setting appeared to be the USA. (It was dubbed in French, so I couldn’t tell from the language)
I soon figured that it must be a location in the USA named after an Old World location.
I use it, and never mean it in an offensive way.
“The pronoun “she” is for females, while “he” is for males”.
But now that I see that it’s so widely seen as a slur, I’ll refrain from using it with people who don’t know me well. I’ll use “women and girls”, now.
As usual, it’s male pieces of shit ruining everything for everyone else.
Thanks for the explanation. It’s too bad it’s seen as a slur, as it’s really useful to group women and girls with one word. As is “male”, for men and boys. This one doesn’t appear to be seen as a slur, though.
You’re incredibly patient. I commend you, really.
No idea what’s going on as well, by the way.
Don’t know what’s going on where you live. Sounds like a homophobic law is in place. As a straight man, I’d put this on my backpack.
I had a job for about a year, where among other things I was making the requests to our physical document storage supplier. They are amazingly incompetent. And one thing they did is, early on, they were calling me David, while my first name is Daniel. I didn’t say anything, wanting to note how long before they’d realize their mistake. They never did.
Of course, my name is the signature of all my emails.
OUI!
FUCK YES!
ENFIN!
What I would change in my case:
But I think each person’s realities will vary a lot. For example, regarding the first bullet point, maybe you’re extraverted and already a social butterfly, in which case the advice doesn’t apply.
