I got rid of my box spring too, and do not miss it at all! It’s just yet another thing I had to have a clean-and-in-good-kit cover for, and the covers always want to shift around annoyingly and they’re a pain in the ass to remove and wash. Platform beds are where it’s at!

OOOOO, colored sheers! I LOVE IT. I bet they do neat things as the light changes throughout the day!

#notallgrumbyrecognizers! I’m only 47! (Okay, almost 48.)

Oh my god SAME. The ability to take in new information and change your mind (and maybe even say “I was wrong about this,” holy shit) IS NOT THE SAME THING as being wishy-washy and indecisive. Sigh.

Were they going for “subtle and understated”? (And if so, fucking why?) Because this is zzzzzzzzzzz.

I think it’s actually a slightly more subtle interpretation — “this is a person a lot of people are saying bad things about, and I suspect that some of those bad things are true about me as well, but if this person is ‘good enough’ to get elected president, that means I also am ‘good enough’ in spite of my flaws (or…

RIGHT?!? And like, I’m pretty smart myself, and I prefer our president to be someone who makes me look like a goddamned floor-licking imbecile in comparison.

“I don’t know, I like _____, I just feel like he’s somebody I could have a beer with” is code for “I don’t like it when people are clearly smarter than me.”

It doooees. Maybe part of the appeal for me is “wow I really fucking miss living in L.A.”? :|

If you like cop/detective shows at all, it’s definitely worth a try. Kind of modern-noir, good cinematography, REALLY good cast (Lance Reddick and Amy Aquino!).

I mean, “LOL” and everything, but ... I really like Bosch. And I’m not a dad! I’m not even a dude! WHAT DOES IT MEEEAAAN. (Fairly sure it means I like the cinematography and Titus Welliver is super appealing.)

IDK, I mean I’m in favor of anything that could decrease the likelihood of someone committing a violent crime, but I can’t see this having a huge effect when “imprisonment and possibility of death penalty” aren’t a deterrent. And there’re already PLENTY of people who think nothing of driving without insurance (or even…

That may be true, but my point was that we should maybe wait before we ascribe our own made-up motivations to the case.

If you’re convicted of a car-related violent felony (vehicular manslaughter / vehicular homicide), my understanding is that many/most insurers straight-up will not offer you coverage at any price. I’m totally on board with your sentiment, but I seriously doubt that anyone who’s in such a fit of ... rage? dissociative…

According to other sources I’m seeing online, Dawit Kelete is black, and authorities have not yet released any information as to motive/explanation/etc.

Jesus they ARE, it’s crazy! Mine’s of the “cute piece of shit” variety, and it drops a little ball bearing out of its casters onto the floor at least once a week, like it poops BBs. And when I try to roll (on the wood floor, which it has fucking DESTROYED bc I didn’t have enough sense to put down one of those chair…

Pretty much ALL ice cream is too sweet, imo. We got a Cuisinart ice cream maker — which I admittedly haven’t used in a year — specifically to make coffee ice cream. If you feel like giving it a crack yourself (which you can do without an actual ice-cream machine!), heat up your milk or milk/cream mixture and use a…

Oh, re: Asos’s sizing — FOR REAL, WTH. The fuckery is compounded by the fact that they don’t have product reviews, so you can’t even poke around and read other people’s sizing tips. I haven’t been [clothes]shopping much lately, so I forgot about my hard and fast rule of You’re Gonna Have To Return At Least Part Of…

I love the “industrial” look of the chrome shelves, plus they’re pretty much infinitely reconfigurable! (In fact I’ve got a couple of units whose two-part poles I unscrewed so I could use them as two tall-table-height work surfaces instead of one six-foot shelf.)
