Okay, for us, as middle of the country liberals who have varying quantities of melanin in the local gene pool, and who fall on several points of the sexuality/gender spectrum... it’s not that we’re not going to Disney, we’re just choosing the OTHER one. Because Florida’s SYG policy is fucking scary, Florida Man seems…

I wish they’d make the art public via digital access. One of my grad school chums is one of that army of archivists, in the textiles division. Most of the reason so little of it is is public is because it’s so delicate they can’t come up with a way to safely display it. Even the process of photographing or digitally…

My gods. Just looking at the difference in body language between Corbyn and May is telling. He feels for these people, listens to them, wants to help and comfort, and he’s got names and numbers and resources ready. She can’t wait to get away, won’t make eye contact.

Actually, most of their income comes from the Crown Estate — the property attached in perpetuity to the state — and their personally held assets, rather than the Civil List, their cut of the taxes. Yeah, it can be a degree without much difference, and the Civil List is a lot of money, but there have been multiple…

In theory, the cladding, if it’s the right type, also insulates the building and stops drafts and heat/cool loss. But it’s sold with the same flim-flam as aluminum siding was in the 1970s. It’s not permanent, it does need maintenance, it will look like shit after being left outside for 20 years with no care*. And this…

I am still firmly committed to my head canon that HRM is opposed to Brexit and told May to call the snap elections or HRM would do so. (Dismissing parliament is one of the few powers the monarch retains; the monarch, for obvs, does not use that power often.) May 180'ed on snap elections in the space of a week, after a…

The problem is it’s impossible to spot the dicks before they decide to IG/FBLive/Tweet. It’s not the 100K innocuous interactions, it’s the 1 that causes pain.

Damn tootin’. Not that I was terribly keen on gyms or locker rooms before — I prefer my physical activity to be productive, so walking/hiking for cardio, gardening and specific resistance for strength — most gyms/locker rooms stink and I have a perfectly suited shower at home. I’ve got a pretty average middle-aged,…

I think I may have brought it over here, but its origin is lost in the mists of time at r/RaisedByNarcissists. (The children of narcs have been dealing with this shit for decades.)

I think the inquest will find there are multiple places the building management caused issues. As a solid concrete building, it should have performed as expected, and fire should have been contained by the structure to the single apartment or the floor. 70s Brutalist architecture may not be necessarily pretty, but…

Seatac Astronomy = too many secrets.

I think the trust that you’re denying is the actual crux of the matter. None of these women were told they were being given quaaludes. They were told benedryl, aspirin, herbal supplements. They were dosed by deception, just like when someone who “doesn’t believe” in allergies conceals peanut butter in barbecue sauce…

I use a block in a drawer because I share a house with someone who has proprioception issues and is fundamentally paranoid about exposed blades. It doesn’t matter that it seems impossible to accidentally fall into a knife rail mounted to the backsplash under cabinets and my spouse has a point regarding exposed blades…

Okay, today’s admission of evil: my horrible side wants to track those who buy fake, inactive drugs at an event like this and observe for placebo effect. Totally betting that some dealers could sell homeopathic tablets for a premium markup because Natural! Organic!

While I don’t want to pollute space, because I do actually want to see viable colonies before I die, I support Pence’s ambition. Pick a target, dude. Strap into a rocket and enjoy the Gs.

I don’t think he’s an agent. I think he’s an asset, who doesn’t think he’s being used, and thinks he’s pulling the best con-job. Because the easiest people to con are cons themselves. Con-jobs rely on the mark’s cupidity. It’s almost impossible to con an ethical, honest person, but it’s ridiculously easy to con…

TV B Gone. Seriously. Best $25 novelty ever bought - it’s a universal remote that only sends the off signal. It looks like a car key fob, or there’s a new version that looks like a smart phone. Works almost always, even on airport TVs.

Kinja just thinks you’re super-duper double special today.

.... but the ballista is okay?

Broflakes. He’s got the bro sneer, the bro stupid hair, the bro dead eyes, the bro penchant for senseless violence...
