"Clue me in" is the idiom. Que is closer than queue, if you were an actor and needed a hint on where to go next.

Competition for Veridian Dynamics

Thanks!

I'm definitely arguing against standard rules then 🙄

However, I'd say generally people write "Good morning John, please do this boring thing from last week", instead of "Good morning, John, please do this thing".

Honestly I'm not sure if I'm critiquing widely accepted English grammar because it seems kinda like the serial comma (some use, some don't), but I don't know the name for it.

The NY Times piece on commas doesn't cite any sources and gives examples with and without based on Byzantine rules I highly doubt anyone follows, and the OWL doesn't seem to cover this specifically.

So... any idea what this particular type of comma is called that I'm wrong about but would like to persuade others that I should be right?

That comma is unnecessary and introduces ambiguity to the sentence, which is the opposite of what commas are supposed to do.

For example, who is the dumbass?:

Have a good weekend dumbass!

Have a good week, dumbass!

Have a good week,

Dumbass!

Who is Carol?!? The addressed, or the addressee? (I'm not actually an English expert so may be wildly incorrect)

Living a life of quiet desperation.

I still really liked the follow up two, but definitely a different vibe

I'm pretty late but hopefully this helps someone:

Privacy is in the moment. It isn't just about your SSN, or the email address you had ten years ago even you signed up for Pegging by Peggy newsletters. It's a moving target and the highest value for the people that want your data is as close to right now as possible.

If you digitally disappeared in this moment the value of all the shit they have on you would rapidly decline.

It also is about as complete a picture as possible. Privacy violating data points are valuable in aggregation. An address and name are only valuable when you can tie it to viewing preferences, voting records, etc. The more data points you can hide, the better.

Also, many (most?) people will be more upset with the person who rocks the boat or is the messenger of bad news than the perpetrator of the real problem. "We've tried nothing and are all out of ideas" applies to people you might care about just as much as it does to Schummer.

:D

2 seems to be the magic limit for me too. If I go to the grocery store for 3 or more things, 1 or more things will not be procured.

Sounds about right, except I think with ADHD you're probably struggling to hold one or maybe two things in your head.
