I agree. There’s no chance I’m going to get stoners to handle their pot responsibly at concerts.

Get high ahead of time.

“Get over yourself and skateboard,” is great advice for those with no kids too. It’s easy to let the fun stuff in your garage get dusty because you’re getting too old, or the way I tend to say it to myself “that’s just not where I’m at in my life anymore.” Which is just me trying to make begging-out because I think…

It seems like this is 100% about context. In American Sign Language, that’s the sign for the number 9, or a slightly modified F depending on how you wanted to look at it.

Waste [their] time instead of mine?

Agreed. Ok, so if your wife is a doctor and there are legitimate legal reasons you shouldn’t be on her work computer fine, but a lot of these commenters doth protest too much.

Getting married does not mean surrendering private autonomy.

Netflix - yes

Yes . . . “CNN,” is certainly the site most guilty of this. . .

My feeling as well. Getting trapped/lost/invested in an unfamiliar world is almost a category of story unto itself. Just because the new “worlds” people are familiar with are MMOs, doesn’t mean the stories are the same. By that logic, Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Lost in Space, and certain parts of the bible…

Yeah, that was a little weird. Seemed really out of left field and apropos of nothing to randomly call out white men. I choose to believe the author was just sort of shoehorning in a comic they found funny, rather than just insulting a whole group for the hell of it.

Anyone who is offended by my offering my seat to them can go ahead and get over it. I got it drummed into my head as a kid that you stand up and offer your seat to a lady, and that’s what I will continue to do. Hell, it took me till my mid twenties to stop standing when a woman came up to a table where I was sitting,…

Excellent point, unless you’re in a weird genre. I love anime, and a lot of it gets trashed because of tropes that Americans don’t like; my brother loves horror, and even “good” horror ends up with a 4.5, so having the option to toggle IMDB filter on/off is a great idea.

Absolutely not defending the guy, sounds like he’s a horrible human being, but these days I know a lot of people who can lock all the doors in their house with their phone, their voice, or in some cases a button; myself included.

Nailed it with the strawman comment.

Hey Patrick, fluid signer here. Just wanted to give you a heads up that “hearing impaired,” is considered a little offensive these days. Deaf or hard of hearing are better terms. Of course, you should always let the deaf individual take the lead on their prefered term.

There’s a form of meditation like this, only the goal is to be as sedate as possible without ever dropping the balls, or whatever you are using as your “bridge,” as it was explained to me. We used to use a beaded chain.

Georgia O’keeffe tribute at 13:05 . . . ? Maybe I just have a dirty mind.

yes . . . yes it is.

Thanks for pointing out that dogs don’t actually need meat, they need solid sources of complete proteins. It gets old seeing article after article where the writer basically declares dogs de facto wolves and presses you to feed them like they’re patrons at a steakhouse.
