i find polite words and honorifics like "mr" are based almost entirely on how i dress. wearing a suit or "business casual," i am uniformly referred to as 'mr' everywhere i go. even cops are polite if you claim your restaurant reservations wearing toe-shoes and a zuckerberg hoodie i think you should expect the host to assume you prefer to be called by your christian name

This wouldn't have been a problem if we hadn't deprecated "thou" in favour of using "you" everywhere like 400 years ago every other European language still uses thou for familiarity

we are going to see court cases where rich people are given airspace rights to the moon above their skyscraper, and poor people are denied airspace rights and have to deal with drones buzzing around 5 feet over the rooftops

(god knows no rich person is going to live below the 40th floor -- that's where the plebes can afford to hang out! they probably dry laundry in the hallway! what if a working person's child touches me in the non-express elevator lobby!? )

a standard storey is around 10 feet. it seems likely that they put in a bunch of floors with double-height ceilings, so that the 53rd distinct floor level ends up being 800 feet above the ground = 80 storeys i doubt they're calling something 530 feet in the air the "80th floor" because surely the occupant would look over at Eggy McHamishbottom's place on the 76th floor and realize that they paid all that extra money to be above eggy for nothing
