There you go!

Seems like men do this more than women and yet I have an Aunt who named her daughter her own name. (That's the cousin who is in that odd situation where her wife is non-monogamous, but she's monogamous. That sounds unfair to me, but I think they are breaking up.)

Duh, Doug not Dan.

It is maybe showing off of me. But maybe not excessively so as I admit I only took one year of Chinese and remember only a few phrases. And most of them I probably screw up the tones. Nice thing about the written word though is no one knows if you're messing up the rising tone with the rising/falling tone or whatever.…

I never said I was for that either. I'm talking about having an opinion, not mistreating anyone. I'm certainly against violence to anyone.

Xiexie! ZaiJian!

Yes, I know where I am thank you. (I'm starting to look forward to Kinja ending my association.)

Standard ending I do. It's Chinese for, essentially, "see you later." One of the few things I remember of Chinese. (That and translation of Sinn Fein to English to Chinese. Sinn Fein, We Ourselves, Wo-men Wo-men Ziji…I think. Okay maybe it's more "I'm going to the bookstore" "Wo qu shudian" I remember.)

On Dark Matter we learn more about Rebecca, Suki, Five, and the androids. Also there's love and friendship. A lot happened though, maybe too much, so I don't think I can say more due to fear of spoilers.

And I really loathe this progressive tendency to think cultures that disagree or even disrespect yours are automatically violent and must be destroyed. There are people who think all plastic surgery is pretty much wrong. It doesn't inevitably follow that they are smashing people for getting nose jobs. You can think…

You really shouldn't wish death on people for disagreeing with you. Or even for being insensitive and hateful. No country has the death penalty for hatefulness. (Well maybe a few have it for being hateful to the Party or to Islam.)

I kind of get it, but they could at least acknowledge their existence.

Apparently his Dad was also named James and he's a Jr.

There could be a cost-of-living factor though. Where I live $15 an hour I don't think would make sense for McDonald's or the local restaurant. Although I guess you would still be in the bottom 30% of us you would be above the median income for a single person. (Presuming you work more than 1700 hours a year.) You…

Oh sure, I'm just saying some of these things are more recent than it might seem. Democrats still had a good deal of the Kentucky state government until 2015.

The Nanny.

I think in the original British, or so I've heard, you were supposed to find both the Trotskyist (I think he was one) and the bigot annoying. But I wonder if many Americans were unused to "I can and will hate both main male characters" so "chose a side" and on balance Archie's looked better to them than some atheist…

I think that will be for when the surviving members of the Sex Pistols win. (Or did that happen?)

Well no, but the distances between the parties weren't as great before 1980 and even as late as 1997 you still had noticeable amount of conservative Democrats (John Breaux, Gene Taylor) and liberal Republicans (Senator Jeffords was still Republican, also Representative Connie Morella maybe). In 1996 Clinton received a…
