Our fast food isn't really fast, either. I'm not sure what the appeal is aside from known consistency, I guess.

I meant just making a spreadsheet and doing it manually. But if you have technical skills, you really just need to make a script that sticks data from your bank's CSV files into a spreadsheet.
"impacts" has been in my vocabulary for as long as I remember, and it's common to use it that way. The dictionaries even have that definition.
I'm not afraid of language evolving.
There are tools for nailing things and tools for killing things.
If it's making you so angry, it might be better to just do it yourself.
It'll also help you spend less because you won't want to log all those little transactions
In Canada, our fast food obsession is making fast food as expensive as sit-down restaurants.
But it's still cheaper because you aren't expected to tip.
But the people at fast food restaurants and at sit-down restaurants are paid the same amount hourly, so it doesn't really make sense. But we tip like Americans because culture and habit are hard to change.
But the fast food payment terminal still "gives you the opportunity" to tip
If media can say "slammed" to mean "said something about", I can use "impacted" to mean "affected". Especially when we have the word "impactful".
I'm actually not a man, believe it or not. The other women in my life have taught me to be that way as well.
Damn. I wonder if it's a cultural thing. Sometimes women are told to keep it inside, too. It's never exclusive to one gender.
Later is better than never. So keep looking towards the future.
You might find some helpful resources online in the meanwhile. Mindfulness and, in particular, emotional intelligence might be two key phrases to look into.
First, don't tell me that the answer is just to "not bottle things up", because that's objectively incorrect too. Society doesn't want you to have any negative emotions.
I'm guessing you're a man. Society imposes this upon men in particular.
Tell society to fuck off. Have emotions, experience emotions, and process them like a human being.
Then take it a step further, and learn how to handle them like an emotionally intelligent human being.
I need to know how to not express negative emotions at all whatsoever unless I'm alone.
This is part of the problem. This is not what you need to know. You need to know how to express negative emotions without losing control of yourself or your reaction to your emotions.
I know it can be done because it is done in many other people on the planet.
People bottling things up and exploding when in a safe space is part of the problem.
I'll echo the idea of anger management, or even therapy in general.
Nobody who is healthy hides away their emotions. You're not alone in feeling the way you do. Society is sending you signals that you need to do something unhealthy, but that won't actually fix the problem.
Why are Valve the good guys?
Yes, in Canada
Definitely needed the /s there. I'm sure you saw the 3 or so other comments who were explaining why Valve are good guys, lol
