his sort-of speech to Allison outside the skating rink will stick with me; heartbreaking.

reminding me of the robotty sushi restaurant in the X-Files reboot (yikes). 

ugh, making me sad again that Naomi was cancelled; was really getting into that one.

the posters in Emil’s retreat were also hilarious! i need some of those. “Today is today.”

if she takes the relaxation thing into her life in future episodes, though, trying to learn to love “just Jen”, that would be interesting. i’m enjoying it and look forward to seeing whatever it is they do, but that would be an interesting turn either way. 

if the screenshot is only shared to ridicule someone, then maybe that’s one thing, but i’ve also seen profiles shared specifically to warn people about someone dangerous or especially creepy. please, people, don’t stop doing that. keep it up.

if the adults were acting like misbehaving children, yeah, they’d be asked to leave. no one is obligated to love or put up with misbehaving kids aside from the parents and maybe those specifically in the childcare field (but even that has limits). try not raising kids to be annoying jerks instead of expecting everyone…

agreed, that too :(

is funny that it looks awful on her, though. 

having separate sections does seem better, and an easier “rule” to apply evenly. still stinks for parents with well-behaved kids that get stuck with the screamers, though :( .

Mike’s way means drowning in oil and vinegar.

sort of agree; not everyone has the focus to enjoy reading, and there are many different ways of learning and absorbing material if reading a text-based book isn’t for you.

yuck; it’s truly a terrible situation to be in. hope you bounced back nicely. 

i wonder if the people saying this have been through waves of layoffs and firings themselves. i couldn’t read the tweet as anything but relief, which i’d hope any other colleagues or employees would understand (even if they weren’t so lucky). 

if only Starbucks could follow suit; still feel for baristas having to deal with the stupid drink fads/excesses that come up.

oh man, the pork and cabbage buns <3 

two articles; on Gizmodo now too. 

hm, seems obvious they meant “community” as in “general geographical location”, especially with the mention of different markets. “community” is fewer characters and less weird to say, though, especially when a local community/market might have several stores in it.

yeah, i get not wanting goods/carts stolen, but the event of a shooting is the first thing that came to mind :( hopefully there is a measure in place for an event like that, to allow for easier evacuation/fleeing. 

fair; couldn’t remember if he ended up somewhere in proximity due to Sorcerer stuff or not.
