You can get an annulment if you can argue that a person “isn’t the person you thought you married”. An uncle of mine used that to get away from his psycho abusive first wife in a way that would let him marry his very catholic second wife. But you could use that argument for just about anything.

Even at a million doses a day, it would take a year to vaccinate the whole US. We need to be aiming for a lot faster than that

A vet acquaintance of mine once said that with all the pet food recalls that keep happening, you don’t want to be feeding any niche, natural, fancy brand if it’s not what your pet needs for dietary reasons. She said stick to the big 3: Hills, Royal Canin, and Purina. Those are the only suppliers big enough to be…

but, if we got rid of all the bullshit work, there would be a lot more people available to take shifts at the essential work. Instead of having one person doing 40+ at the grocery and one person doing 40+ in marketing convincing people to buy widgets they don’t need, you could have 2 people each doing ~20 at the…

Military brat friends of mine always answer “where are you from” with “Well... It’s complicated” Although most of them will claim the place they went to high school. Formative years and all that.

I did weekly bar trivia with a bunch of friends. We were getting into that period when things that seemed normal to do in the morning seemed like something only crazy people would risk by afternoon. Only about half of us showed up to the last trivia session we went to. Those of us there were like “this seems probably…

I’m at the back of the line and quite rightly so, but at least the line is going to start moving! Halleluja!

Everyone in this trailer is having a fantastic time and yes, I will watch them chew scenery, thank you.

It’s not like that everywhere, though. I lived in France for a while and I remember a Polish song that was big, a Turkish song that was huge (at the same time) and half of what the radio played was in English (asking local friends what the lyrics of X English-language song were about was always hilarious, even though…

Yeah, all of the “this is how you tell if you’re warm toned or cool toned” stuff from the teen fashion magazines always confused the hell out of me. Especially because they always insisted that no one is actually a neutral. Them: Are the veins in your wrist blue or green? Do you look better with gold or silver…

the Democrats can’t just assume that everybody is completely woke

Yup. When you say “defund the police” aunt Kitty from Oklahoma hears “stop enforcing laws entirely” and you’re not going to get her buy-in. Effective messaging involves understanding how your message is being received, not just saying what you want to say.

God, yes. It’s just a constant avalanche of information, most of which I don’t need. It does nothing but distract me from what I actually have to do, and then people stop communicating directly about anything because “I posted it on Teams”

I really hope it’s been there since 1968 and nobody noticed until now.

Wooowwww. I am a tacky maximalist bitch and I wouldn’t be able to hear myself think in a single one of those rooms. If I think it’s too much...

I went full palazzo this summer and I’m not coming back.

They’re rebooting a show that’s been off the air for less than a decade? JFC, people, watch some reruns for a while

Yes! My ears hate the ear loops - they’ve got enough going on holding up my glasses. So most of the masks I made for myself have long strings instead of elastic and I just tie them around the back of my head. So much more comfortable
