I came across a broken escalator in Paris once and it felt like being home again.

Thanks for missing the point: yes it’s a choice she made, but it’s a choice that only had to be made because she’s a woman. There isn’t a comparable choice or requirement for a man, and that’s what you call an ingrained societal double-standard.

No, I was making a joke about how male twitch streamers are almost entirely out-of-the-book nerds that are often anything but buff and chizzled, and it doesn’t matter to their popularity because they’re men. But a woman, to achieve the same popularity, has to seriously consider — and seriously handicap herself to skip…

Because all of the popular male streamers out there owe their popularity to their workout regime.

“Now of course you can argue she’d get more views, but she made that choice, to present that way.”

How many studly, chiseled and scantily-clad male twitch streamers are required to go through 40 minutes of pre-stream makeup to even be considered worth considering to watch?

Fuddrucker’s is approx 13 places too low. RIP.

Counterpoint: it’s hard to clean sticky soda barf and crunbled cheerios off of luxury.

There’s a local pizza joint here whose service is spotty, to be kind. A good day is you get your pizza how you ordered, and the pre-meal breadsticks you ordered come with the pizza.

Being Hit By A Car is my favorite Pokemon.

Just like how kids these days actually worse now than they were in the ‘50s, the people aren’t worse because of internet commenting, it’s just now obvious how terrible we all are.

iirc, they were finding out that with dark-on-light, sort of the reverse effect was happening: since the negative space AROUND the letters is less, glare from the white background was fuzzing that out and overpowering the letters.

Compare the e’s on the two signs, that’s the biggest difference. In Highway Gothic, the e is compact enough that you can lose the negative space in it if there’s glare or if you’re vision is fuzzy. The theory behind Clearview was to give the negative space in the letters more space to mitigate that.

For those of use in the ice storm latitudes, it’s worth it to not have to chip your blades from of blocks of ice.

Maybe. I need to research more to determine if it’s the honey that’s important, or some property of the teddy graham substance.

The guys with bats are the runners. But bowlers (the pitchers) run in before delivering the ball.

To the coniving, strategic munchkin, a holiday birthday is an opportunity. Why settle for two small presents stretched over the year when you can try to leverage a combined present for something bigger?

...and not clear enough in its basic definitions.

I think that’s how Fallout 4 started
