2.7 here in Canada.

Yoga with slow, gentle poses may help you wind down in the evening if that's not something you've considered.

Again, why do you believe you get to narrow the scope of what news is to everyone else? You are welcome to create your own magazines that talk about exactly what you want and block the ones that aren't what you want to engage with.

I'm thinking you should probably stop speaking on behalf of everyone. I am not American but I do care that millions of Americans are losing their rights. I care that US businesses got over a trillion in PPP loan forgiveness but that the same can't be extended to 40 million individuals and their student loans for education they are almost forced to have if they want a shot at making more than minimum wage and even then, it's not a guarantee.

I'm not a refugee but I care that the Greek government effectively let hundreds die rather than assist them.

I'm not French but I am interested in the riots happening there.

I'm not Russian, Ukrainian, or even European but I want to know what is happening with the occupation of Ukraine, the coup attempt, and what other countries are doing to ensure the Russia doesn't violate NATO and the repercussions if they do.

Why do you believe you get to narrow the scope of what is news on behalf of everyone else?

I don't think they're being ridiculous to say that US politics has an impact outside of the US. To quote a former Canadian Prime Minister:

"Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt."

I've been pleased with The Verge's ongoing coverage of this and really respect them calling out this poor behaviour.

Why are you posting about the Titan sub in a thread about a Reddit community of transcribers that will be closing?

Here's the thing - I am not a special case or circumstance. This happens with some regularity and I'm someone who has chosen to share these intimate details with you to convey that an arbitrary date line isn't helping anyone. At the end of the day, the discussion and decision should be between the pregnant person and their medical provider, and the pregnant person's partner, if applicable and requested. It's literally no one else's business or concern.

And three months it’s enough time to decide

That makes an assumption that the person is aware they are pregnant the entire time.

I didn't know I was pregnant until I was roughly 11 weeks because I was using birth control. Except this was before the more recent shouting-from-the-rooftops news that antibiotics can render birth control pills ineffective. I'd been on antibiotics for two weeks around Christmas time and here I was in March, at my doctor, trying to figure out why I was sick when he asked me to do a pregnancy test.

I didn't get 3 months to decide. I had to wait 2 weeks before I could get an appointment for an abortion for a pregnancy I absolutely did not want and had been doing my best to avoid by being on birth control.

I'm not the only woman with this story or a similar one. Many women simply don't know they're pregnant until several weeks in, especially when they are using birth control and don't have an abundance of symptoms.

You'd think if it was important to them they might try to teach their kids themselves. Or have we defaulted to we can only learn things in school already?

also loopy signatures that have 1 big letter with a scribble behind it

Why you gotta call me out like that? Haha. But seriously, I had a proper signature until I got a part time office job at 17 that required me to sign a lot of things (for packages, receipts, witness acknowledgement, etc) every day - that's on top of initialing things. I worked there 5-6 days a week before doing that same job full time for a few years and
eventually continued part-time for a few more years when I was in another career. Anyway, the point was that it was a fairly busy job and the extra few seconds my full, proper signature I had developed wasn't an option and I slowly morphed my signature into a bastard hybrid between initials and signature that has remained some 20 years later. Also, I ditched the loopy first letter.

I was expecting a "shut up, bird" or two in the Reddit comments but baby dick is a classic. Thanks for linking it!
