That’s not true. He did try to abolish slavery and stop the creation of the reserve, but tortoises move a little slower than humans do, and he just didn’t get there in time. But not for lack of trying.

Are the books as good as the show? Is there any value add in reading the books, after I’ve watched and fell in love with the show?
Edit: thank you, everyone! The overwhelming positive feedback on the books has me convinced. They are on my reading queue!
Understood. Thanks for taking the time here. I promise I wasn’t trolling. I know it sounded like it, but I genuinely misunderstood.
No, I got that part. Sorry. I don’t think I’m explaining myself properly. Has a similar story been posted with the same “I’m an awesome manager” pretense that they’re specifically making fun of, or is the post making fun of the types of posts on LinkedIn in general? I think, if I’m understanding the responses here correctly, it’s the latter and I just took it too literally.
I read it…
Stories on LinkedIn be like
Meaning, there are actually stories just like this one. Right? Or are they being pedantic in their likeness? (I hope the latter…)
No way this is real.
Is… is it?
I wouldn’t just say conservative women, since this is a really good explanation for anyone. My cousin and partner changed their last name to something altogether different when they got married. For them, it wasn’t fair to the one for the other take the first’s family name, so they just chose a new one. It was really hard for the rest of the family (there’s a history with that family name that caused the hardship in its change, and the name holds a lot of weight to the entire extended family). Do you know what didn’t happen, though? Absolutely no one, despite how hard it was for them, called the couple by their former name once they announced the name change. Not even our grandmother, whose family name it was and was carried over from her deceased husband. One of their former friends (not even family), however, refused to accept the name change, and kept calling them by their former name. I would consider that dead naming, too.
Name changes are hard for the people around you. Not always for malicious reasons. For me, for example, when a trans friend changed names, I kept calling them by the name that was ingrained in my head for a decade. I caught myself, and fixed it during the conversations. I apologized the first few times, and was assured that no apologies were needed, since it was clear I was trying. It took a bit, but the new name has now been associated with them, and I no longer stumble. Some people, I’ve noticed, find it offensive, for some stupid reason, when someone changes their own name, and will absolutely not call them by it. I will never understand that part. It’s not your name–i’s their name ffs–just flippin call them by their preferred name.
I went off on a tangent, but all this to say that you offered a good, generic, applies-to-all-generations explanation.
Since they’re two for me and none for you, I’d say two, but masquerading as one.
Which country have I reached?
One of my favorite songs of all time, and I don’t know why…
Harvey from a decade and a half ago.
Also, this version is friggin hilarious.
Because you have to choose: children or Festool. Only the few elite can have both.
Quality shitpost. Yes, quality indeed.
