And the bitches still don't leave???

Oh I'm sure there are some who think they've all been around forever.

I figured I could. But I might as well let it hassle me. Maybe that way I'll stick with it. Although I doubt it.

And you answer yes and no in your own language.

I just started Duolingo for French last week. I haven't been keeping up, and my phone keeps sending me messages saying that I need to practice every day. I should probably be using it to perfect my Spanish, too.

I'd personally like to see a movie in which Charlize Theron plays a South African, Schwarzenegger plays an Austrian, Marion Cotillard plays a Frenchwoman, etc. Maybe some sort of goofy international version of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Even biblical literalists must know that Spanish, Portuguese, French, etc all descended from Latin, right?

Honestly, people your age are fucking awesome and get a lot of shit for absolutely no reason. Of course, young people do stupid shit sometimes, but that's because they're young and they'll grow out of it soon enough. But you guys pretty much have your heads on straight, you're smart enough to know how the world works…

I like Sex and the City OK, but sometimes the conspicuous consumption just disgusts me. Like when you see her closet just completely full of thousand dollar pairs of shoes. The fact than anyone lives like that (and I'm sure some people really do) is totally reprehensible.

You can comment on Savage Love now? This won't end well.

They've got to each be spending 50 grand a year on shoes, and at least as much on clothes. Not to mention eating out and whatnot. We're talking about a group of people for whom rent in Manhattan is a tiny fraction of their budget.

And I'll bet the charity itself only brings in 200 grand a year.

The majority of the people I know work in hospitality. That's what happens when you live in a tourist area. There's a few office jobs and such, and quite a bit of agriculture (though much of that is done by migrant workers) and absolutely zero manufacturing. So "nearly everyone I know" might be a bit of an…

Bakers be bakin'.

What do most starship pilots look like?

I once tried to explain evolution to a religious coworker by using languages as an example of things changing over time until they are clearly not the same, but then I remembered that he believed they were also suddenly created by God one day.
