What are you talking about, “blame”? What the everliving fuck is the need to work your way up the chain and assign “blame” to people for someone else’s fuckup? Since when do we go after a mom for her son’s stupidity?

Sigh. What do you want from her. She’s a zoo animal and you’re talking about a mistake her kid made. She’s obviously already being criticized, to the point that the value of the monarchy’s being brought up in election debates in the UK. The repercussions of this are all going to fall on her and the institution anyway,…

Come on now, your line of reasoning doesn’t even make any sense. Pause. Two things are happening:

I was in the UK and he lived in my neighborhood, so I definitely was more aware of him than your average... well, anyone. But he’d just finished the Hornblower series (hi, Jamie Bamber!) and was generally considered to have done an amazing job, so 102 Dalmatians was a logical (if lame) next step to get him more…

But he shouldn’t have been in Fantastic Four in the first place. There was a major derailment prior to that - Fantastic Four felt more like emergency CPR.

What? WHAT?!? THAT’S what happened to Ioan?! Good LORD.

It would also dilute his message. He knew about Paltrow and the message was “if you go after her again, I’ll kill you”. Expanding that to other women (unknown to Pitt and Paltrow, as in they didn’t even know there WERE others) just gives Weinstein an opening to muddy things.

Here’s the thing that’s important to note for both sides: the Pro Life crowd doesn’t want to take away woman’s rights. You can’t look at it like that, because that is not their goal. They find the idea of abortion to be the same as killing a baby

They don’t care when it happens, even when it’s right in front of them. They don’t care when you report it, and will in fact try to prevent bringing a case. They’ll try to plea that case down without even going to court, and you’re lucky if they tell you. They’ll nod as a judge considers the other side’s compelling…

It’s really too rough and stiff for me to want on my bed (and I already have a winter duvet, of course - what am I, a farmer?). So it either gets sent back or ends up as the thing I throw across the nice couch when I let the dog onto it.

I have merely laid out the facts for Customer Service, and await their sincere reflection on their manifold failures and an honest effort to make things right.

I have a bedspread I really like, so I bought the exact same bedspread in a different color on sale a few weeks ago. It arrived last night. It’s not the same. It’s different. In small but very noticeable ways, so I’ve spent about two hours analyzing the differences.

Whoa, that’s awful. You didn’t use a real person, did you? My therapist went straight to books/movies, and oddly I immediately knew who the protector icon would be. Felt a little silly but definitely worked.

I’m guessing Kaep said “heads up, that flag’s being used by hate groups because it’s the flag that was in circulation when America was all-white” and the marketing/branding departments said “oh shit, no” and pulled the shoe.

My siblings and I lucked out with a British parent who’d learned the common core type of math. He actually learned how to do it the American way to help us do our homework, but I remember him being surprised initially that I’d gotten answers marked “wrong” because I got the right answer but the “show your work”…

A lot of this is mitigated if you stick to bike lanes and go 8 mph instead of 15. Helmet is going to be a hard sell, but just choosing newly-paved roads and going at a reasonable pace has worked for me so far.

Technically, if I burrowed through the earth’s core to hook up with my guy, it would’ve been less distance than the conventional plane-and-train route I took (but considerably more molten). That’s why I include the orbits.

But how many miles would they have to orbit before landing? Those totally count.

Nah - I asked the TSA and I’m likely flagged because of a combination of the areas I traveled to around this time last year, and my name being a close match to an alias used by a known criminal. The positive explosives test came back once, the second test two minutes later showed it was a false positive. (Also they…

After meeting my last hookup, I started setting off the alarms at airports. I go through the scanner and a red box appears precisely over my crotch and then I get the special pat-down. Once they did the explosives swab and it came back positive, which was startling for everyone. After visiting him recently, I’ve also s…
