I’ll be honest, it’s pretty hit and miss. You get someone just throwing diced avo on toast, and it’s pretty mid. But you go to a place that seasons it, includes grilled onion and peppers, uses high-quality sourdough bread, and covers it in bacon and a fried egg? One of the best things I’ve eaten. And one of the messier.

Yeah, I’ve always thought trucks are dumb, but the bus and my bike can’t pull my boat, and I live on island, so…

So far Cosby’s was overturned and he’s not in jail, and Weinstein’s was overturned and he is awaiting a retrial (granted, he is doing so in prison).

I actually had this discussion about one of my coworkers.

Very competent, very capable, and very poor risk assessment.

Even if they were trying to flirt, being told repeatedly not to do something that they keep doing anyway is not flirting.

Diaphragms are a form of birth control. They are making a joke by deliberating misinterpreting the specific meaning of the word used in an absurdist way, in the Mad Hatter style.

The argument that everyone having access to doctors would mean people would constantly go in for trivial things or waste time so waits are so much longer has always seemed so silly to me.

I cut on and salt-water-soaked my severely infected toe (badly ingrown nail) for two months before I saw a doctor for it. And I had insurance so it cost nothing. Just because I didn’t want to bother with going to a doctor.

People don’t go to the doctor for fun, and amongst all the people I’ve known with great insurance, there have been considerably more instances of not going to the doctor_when they should_ than going unnecessarily (approximately zero times, actually).

So that tells me they want some people to not have access to needed medical care so they have access whenever they want, with lower wait times. It’s like the people who hold the empty laundry carts while their clothes are in the wash.

It was so bad that Team America World Police had a song about how bad it was as their ballad.

I just bought a house with an attached 1-bedroom apartment (with its own address). My 11-year-old daughter has already laid claims to taking it when she graduates high school. So I don’t think she’s feeling stifled at all, lol.

Better be prepared to pay rent if she’s not in school come the fall after high school, though (I’ll give her the summer to get her plans worked out).

First time I bought a firearm in my life (after 40 years on this earth) was specifically protection from bears when I moved to Alaska.

I get that I’m part of that very small percentage, but it’s funny to be pointed out for it when where I am it is super common (also common to see people strapped on hiking trails with their kids and dogs).

I liked it a lot growing up in the US. I still have the mental image of them “fixing” a flat tire (by duct taping a new tire to the flat) and the good tire popping off and rolling away when they drove away.

If women can’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Hopefully COPS.

To be clear, that list (aro and “black-pilled”) was not all-inclusive. There are plenty of people who just don’t want to date, for whatever positive reason (e.g. too busy, focusing on other things, not feeling like making the effort) or even some with negative reasons (e.g. not feeling like they are in good working order mentally, just got out of a relationship and want to spend some time on their own, trauma) that aren’t aro or “black-pilled.” THIS LIST IS ALSO NOT ALL-INCLUSIVE.

Also:

You’re a bigot.

Just… don’t. Stop throwing the word around so spuriously, or it could lose its meaning. It’s an important word, and using it like that leads to the kind of linguistic drift that takes the meaning out of the language.

Finishing up Mamook, Qitari, and Namazu (fuckin hate those guys) myself now and I will be Allied Society complete for all expansions! I gave up on the new Eureka-esque stuff.

All that to say I have no idea, right there with you. The only thing I want to know… is when I get to see my man Hildibrand again.

That is very obviously not what anyone is saying. Not dating because you are not interested in dating is different than not dating because you’re down on yourself and blame the world (and those of the gender you find attractive) for creating your situation.

I think you know the answer to that.

Butter croissant actually seems like a decent name for a guinea pig.

If we’re including drinking, coffee is a pretty good name, but not for such a light colored guinea pig.

I knew a couple guys who had been struck by lightning. They were terrified of storms after, so when there was any lightning in the distance, they would rush inside with their coats over their heads.

I do not want to be struck by lightning.

It repeatedly mentions “the young man” particularly as quoted by the police chief.

No, that is not a “young man.” That is a boy. Unequivocally so. This wasn’t a 18-year-old man. It was a 12-year-old boy. Absolutely ridiculous that nobody calls out authority figures making statements like that.
