I just want to know why there isn’t a damned interpretation that can get the look of Pennywise right. They speak over and over and over in the book about his bright red painted smile - the paint looked like blood, and orange tufts of hair, and bright orange pom poms down the front, and they never get it right in the…

I’m 1/3 of the way through it and I just cant bring myself to care. I don’t know how to explain it but sometimes his writing style is so annoying with the asides and parentheticals and colloquialisms. I just can’t. Remember the saying: That’s not writing, it’s typing ? I feel that way about a lot of his books…

To be fair, the Native American one is accurate and is a good rule of thumb when talking to people you don’t already know, in Navajo country, at the very least. . Staring is definitely a power move and is not appropriate. It’s good advice. Can’t speak for the other ones.

I have been a very active left wing activist and organizer most of my adult life. I have a 15 year old daughter who I’ve dragged to events and door knocks and phone banks since she was a toddler. Her dad is a cro-magnon testosterone bag whose life philosophy is basically, “do the opposite”. Anyway, he and his dad…

I believe the golfing photo of our dear leader actually points to tighty whiteys. He does not seem like a boxers kind of fellow.

It’s shopped. But scarily believable. From the same day...

That escalated quickly!

It was really awful but what I figured out from it was that this was definitely not something I wanted to be doing with my life. My heart was not in it and my carelessness was a result of my deep unhappiness in that job. I ended up resigning a few months later and now, yadda yadda yadda like 7 years later, I am in my…

For several years I worked in health insurance. My job was to take different health plans, figure out the rates, and spreadsheet them for presentation to the clients. One time, the group in question was in a huge rush and didn’t have time for all their health conditions/ages to be configured by the insurance…

That’s what I have! Orangeburg! Described to me as compressed tar paper. Installed in my home in the late 40s and has completely screwed the pooch. I can’t afford to get it all done at once so every time I get a tax refund I replace a 10 foot portion of it and supplement with rooter service every couple months. Fuck…

I think that was the other type of rink discussed in the article. They talk about how they eventually created this rink with ultra frozen ice that was incredibly cold and there was always mist coming off it, which people disliked but preferred to the gristle rink.

They just announced they are closing three of our six here in New Mexico. At least 3,200 patients affected.

Can I ask how old you are?

And once it gets to DC it has to go through the Senate/House mail room whose screening process takes forever.

Call through the Relay? Impact of a phone call but you basically don’t have to do as much of the work!

I think your point is backed up by her run on Mad Men. She was great in that.

Those links were really helpful and I appreciate you posting them. I truly had no idea that referring to someone in that way was hurtful. I mean, referring to Caitlyn NOW as Bruce is obviously not appropriate but since that was her given name at the time that was being referenced, I thought it was okay.

Okay I get all of that but you understand that the general public may not completely understand the nuances of all of that and it is better to educate them than to immediately take offense, right? I have literally never heard the phrase, “dead name”.

I LOVE Goldie and Kurt. I can’t decide if I want to be married to them or be their kid. But, reports of Kate’s personality have not been positive. If anyone here remembers the website Fametracker, it was well documented there how much of an awful, stuck-up brat she was in school. She was not at all well liked. That…

She was Bruce Jenner at the time Robert was allegedly jealous though, right? I don’t understand why you take offense at the wording of that comment. Can you explain?
