I live for choppy water.I was on my first ship at 2 (Navy families coming on an old Navy ship back from orders in Asia, when they still did that kind of thing). It was a trip so bad that many of the sailors were having problems. My mother was stuck with my three sibs, all four of them seasick, in their berths so my…

You left it on the seat? Leaving it on the seat was the hero’s option. You’re a goddamn hero, Tim, and this discussion is the part of your arc where your motivations are misunderstood. But eventually you shall be proven correct and all will come to appreciate you for what you are. Leaving the bag on the seat? Takes…

So, if I understand, you were in row 21 (say), your bag was by row 23 (say), you stepped back to row 23, grabbed your bag, then, on passing row 21, grabbed your under the seat bag? I think that is fine. Unless it took you forever to get your under the seat bag. It sounds like you did not hold up the line and, in fact,…

Probably one of Jess’s other accounts...

I think it’s cool that they are renting it as an apartment and not filling it with Ikea furniture to list it on AirBnB.

Ok, so what the administration is saying here is that they know this is bullying because some rapist said they felt bullied? What are they saying? I would think the first question would be “Who is this supposed rapist and why haven’t we dealt with it?” Instead it’s, “Wow, didn’t she even consider that the rapist’s…

Oh, if I had a million stars to give, friend, you would have them all...

No one. 

I love Covet. Full stop. I haven’t joined a fashion house yet. Perhaps I should?

I’m not sure of the answer to your question. Don’t know if others are, as in Vape manufacturers and researchers or the medical community. Vape research (which assures us how safe it is) reminds me of early cigarette/tobacco research. Which turned out to be less than accurate. 

Fair. I’m not sure it should be illegal, but vaping is very much marketed at young people, including kids. Once you’re 18? You can choose. Before that? We do set limits on what is marketed to kids. I think vaping needs a bit more of this.

Look up irony. It may be dead but I think you’re looking at the wrong body. 

Anything that ever becomes a vapor never again reverts to its liquid form. Ever. Never. It’s like you throw a switch and bingo—it won’t ever be liquid again. Magic.

I prefer a dry sauna, myself. Wet saunas do not go well with my lungs.

In Chicago you can no longer vape on the CTA. I see several precious vapers each month doing it. Every time I remind them (and I do, I always do) that they can’t they (usually it’s a he, and hipster, and white) explains to me how safe it is and accuses me of being in the pay of big tobacco. Every vaper thinks they are…

I remember always wanting to have a sip of beer when I was a kid. Finally an adult gave me a sip of beer. Not sweet, but bitter. I was unimpressed. And so I did not drink beer for many years after. Imagine if that beer had tasted like delicious Dr. Pepper? I would have been drinking all the beers I could get my hands…

Also, I have always been stymied by the term “vape liquid”. Putting liquid in your lungs is not ideal. We go out of our way to avoid it normally. 

Yeah. They are. 

She’s the only dem that’s craftier than McConnell. I’m cool with her staying. At least until he goes (if ever). 

Announced three times in history. This is a pretty significant moment. She seemed a bit nervous, but more of the “too much adrenaline” kind of nervous. To me, anyhoo.
