“Honey! Stop trying to make something of yourself- we’re trying to do it for you!”

Well it seems that 32 or 33 are the 95th percentile so it seems that she’s not a bad test-taker; her parents just don’t want to risk anything. If I were actually a good student and they made it seem like my work didn’t matter at all, that would hurt so bad. 

I could see that if they were close to having the scores they could believe they got in on “intangibles” or “oh you must have really impressed them at the interview” or something like that. And aboiut being registered as an athelete: it’s really easy to believe there’s been an administrative mix-up since they aren’t…

I considered it at the time - but there just isn’t the money in being a bottom-shelf liquor spokesperson that I thought there would be. 

By the third example it was just depressing. 

They failed to teach their kids to work at anything - because they weren’t willing to put the effort in to actually, y’know, parent. 

The kid who wants to get the better score on the ACT is my favorite - she’s got drive! 

...it must be concluded that, in 1933, Germany had a problem with Jews, and Hitler was merely reacting to the demands of the electorate by providing a <ahem> solution.

This is my worry - that some rich superfan will help him flee the country to some place that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the US. And he’ll just get to keep going.

In my experience it really depends on the rest of the customers. When they first put in self-check kiosks at my local grocery store it was a disaster, but it got a lot better pretty quickly. Because of the unofficial item number limit, learning which things just don’t work at the self-check (greeting cards), and the…

I really really want a heart rate tracker I can stick in my bra. Ifigure that’s basically the same as being a band-type heart rate tracker, right? 

I remember that too, although it might be regional.

I was about to type “But why would they do something so mean as to remind us of that?!” and then I remembered that this is the MCU and they want me to cry. 

Does anyone else find oneof the color schemes easier to work wiht than the other? The blue/green ones are easy for me but the pink/red ones are really difficult. (that’s my monitor, isn’t it? It’s not that there’s something wrong with me?) 

I think the second one is Yondu as we see him last...

The only problem I have is that I loved the Professor Bloom in the comics/first movie. I don’t know if they’ll let Ian McShane be as tender as that character is supposed to be. (Please note I’m not implying that Ian McShane can’t do it, just that they won’t let him.) 

We really didn’t do it right for centuries. It’s just that people who didn’t eat optimally got sick and died and it was considered normal. 

There isn’t even a Wikipedia page for the title! Does France have a Debrett’s?

Any time a criminal complaint sounds essentially like a note sent home by a kindergarten teacher I’m going to struggle to remember that it’s Serious Business.
