Okay - but a jackhammer might work on the holly, right? And yes, I know what you mean: some moron put landscape fabric in my back without digging out the shrubs they had cut down. The roots all wove themselves through the fabric trying to make it back to the surface. They did all eventually die from being sprayed with…

I pulled out a 9" stretch of bermuda root (in the process of attempting to spray it while *not* spraying my azaleas) and that little mofo had dangling fibers every inch, like perfect little segments just waiting to make new colonies.

It ended up working out even better than I’d hoped!  I was feeling bad but he went to my boss and was like “look, I keep screwing this up, can someone else do this every year?” He ended up having to do it anyway but we got the whole thing kicked up a couple of levels and now there’s an official memo for it and…

I mean, why would you spend your undercover dollars trying to keep opiods, y’know the drugs that actually kill people, off the street?

Can I talk about the time I attached not only the email chain with the exact same question from the year before but also the email chain from the year before that - and, and this is the best part - an email chain from two years before that? I was very annoyed. It wasn’t quite my proudest office moment, but it’s up…

I’m just so impressed that someone went through the glass like in a movie!

<a black and white scene; an ambiguous silhouette in front of a shoreline, a cello plays something modern but soothing in the background> voice over: “For when the world isn’t enough” fancy yet tasteful lettering on the screen: “Delusion” (pronounced DEE-loo-SEE-on)

So I thought that in the Old West (aka Victorian era elsewhere) prostitutes DID shave (to protect against lice) and then wore merkins because that was how the Johns liked them to look?

Carrot slaw is it’s own special beautiful thing and I am sad that people sometimes think the only slaw is cabbage slaw (which I love with or without carrots but it’s a very different dish.)

See I was thinking this is what happens when something is made with modern scanning and 3D printing but an actual artist wasn’t involved in the process anywhere.

Good point! however - I was thinking of her more as an example of them claiming representation after-the-fact and without explicit reference. 

Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok is another example.

So they’re still making it? Because I cannot find it in the drugstore any more.

I hadn’t seen this before!!

Yes, why?!! Above there are people for whom the soft, flowing slip-type shorts don’t ride up. Oh how I wish I were one of them.

Is this one of those that lasts through showers? because I’m thinking about trying it out.

And it also rides up when you sit down and you have no idea how a skirt that is 3" above the knee when standing up is positively indecent when sitting down. As mentioned above - I do not want my thighs touching the chair.

It’s really gone? That SUCKS.

I think you’re right - if you have an anxiety disorder you’re used to looking at your fears and accepting that some of them are unreasonable*. And guess what? I’ve never been hit by a black person, only white men. I’ve never been sexually assaulted by a black person, only by white men and an asian man. I’ve never been…

Yup! This is a pretty good grounder in how to talk to women. The first two are golden in particular.
