Consider how much the stereotypical country song lyrics have in common with the blues and I see your point.

Cheap & cheesy, but what a flow. I can get past that.

Wow, first all the Prince retrospective and now this —it all goes back to a very specific place and window of time. What is the Universe trying to tell me?

And Full Force, who are the guys in the sparkly jackets and Jheri-Kurl mullets singing backup — they produced her stuff IIRC

pubic service even

I admit, I’ve never actually seen him in any productions — just the GIFs and clips on here. His dancing is rather endearing.

It’s that he’s gone and part of our collective past, our younger days, has gone with him.

“Animals with guns”? what kind of animals? More importantly what kind of guns?

I like the color of the orange spicy variety — it’s made me start looking for an inedible, normal polish in a similar shade. It’s enough to look at nail polish on your fingers; why would you need to taste it? I can also see this being dangerously confusing for small children — they are already confused enough about…

Maybe not, some of them are tossing around the word “telegony” like it’s a thing that happens in humans (the article I read IIRC says it’s possible for fruit flies or some such thing)

Where are you? Pyongyang?

I tend to get this brand confused with Alba Botanica, which has been around for years and was my go-to lotion in the US (those of their other products I’ve tried are good too - I think they make the un-petrolatum jelly, which is a great thing).

On the flip side of that, look at what the penguin gets out of it. Win-win.

You get so much further with an attitude of, ‘here’s the problem, how can it be fixed?’ Also as a non-native speaker of a rather difficult language I have to communicate in to get things done, if there is a screwup of some sort I tend to start by assuming I may have said something wrong or misunderstood something, and…

In France they either proposed or just passed a law to the effect that children can sue their parents for breach of privacy for just this.

That second one is Nopetopus 2.0

Possibly one of the worst places on earth for a black woman to try to date. Even the lightskinned sistas of my acquaintance were so over the colorstruck mentality.
