Pet peeve: people who say “pacifically” when they mean “specifically”.

I see the word “FUNEMPLOYMENT” and always think of this:

I had scarlet fever when I was in the 3rd grade (so that makes in 1974 for me). I don’t remember anything about it but my mother used to tell me that I had it for 2 weeks and the doctors were amazed I didn’t die (apparently having it for that long is bad thing, I have no idea).

I’ve learned not to cringe when my 9 year old son enforces his boundary that he doesn’t want to hug Grandma because I say so. (The first couple times I was embarrassed and she was upset - at me, of course.)

Came for this (was going to post if no one else did). Was not disappointed.

So... not this?

In case anyone doesn’t know, “dogging” is British slang for fucking in public... and deliberately allowing anyone to see you. Very popular sport in parking lots, or so I am told (by my cousins). :-)

“I gotchya, man.” No, you ain’t got shit.

So hold up, does that mean that if I identify as “white”, I can stop getting looks?

I actually posted something about this last week on the Offspring subsite of LifeHacker:

To be honest, this is the first I am hearing about this story so I don’t know all the details.

My 9-year old son stumbled on this collection of videos on Youtube called “Caillou Gets Grounded” (actually there are many variants with “Dora the Explorer Gets Grounded”, etc). All of these cartoons are made with an online animation rendering tool called GoAnimate.

That movie title “Powaqqatsi” sounded very familiar to one of my all-time favorite documentaries “Koyaanisqatsi” (which I also loved the music).

Thanks, the way you explained that, it makes sense. Appreciate the insight.

Something tells me this behavior happens daily at the White House as well.

... Or maybe the corn industry lobbyists were pushing the administration to denounce soy? Ok, that does sound absurd, but with the current swamp people in the White House, who can tell?

What kind of emotionally bereft miscreant would leave leftovers in a Chipotle bowl? YOU EAT IT ALL AND LEAVE NONE BEHIND. NOM NOM NOM. (Sheeesh.)

I bought one from Sensacalm for my autistic son. It was effective at helping him sleep when he was a toddler.

They are also commonly recommended for children (and I guess adults too) with autism. Anxiety and autism are common bedfellows (pun intended).

Allergies really kicking your ass today, mmm hmmmm? I can empathize.
