Oh, good, Kinja finally lets me go back to replies now so I can say I didn’t want to come across as a nitpicky jerk, just adding my experience meeting Senator Specter. And, of course, to agree that the GOP are craven, deplorable, irredeemable assholes.

I’m not that old, and this is how I was taught to type. Even using my laptop in English comp 1 in college, we were dinged if this wasn’t the stye. Word even until recently used to format it this way. It’s only pretty recent that people started saying “haha old person, you put two spaces in?” 

Never read your own comments. You should storm right out of here.

Everyone tries to make it with milk around me

Arlen* Specter. I actually had the opportunity to see him speak on the topic once before he retired, and he very eloquently stated that he was disgusted with the state of the Republican party and that he had always been an advocate for people, and felt the party had moved too far away from his values. And now we have…

....anyone else who wants to argue with Persnickety, maybe Chomsky, Herman, and Lewis can clear things up!

Ever since leaving Jersey 20+ years ago, I cannot stand going back home and waiting for some half-stoned kid to finally make his way over to my car, and then wait another five minutes for him to finish servicing the other cars to remove the pump.

I have never once been to a gas station that has a chip reader at the pump in the states of PA, NJ, NY, MD, and all down the I-95 corridor on the east coast. I would actually find it novel and make a mental note, to be honest.

I find the “don’t rent, buy” argument interesting as I try to help my mother figure out what to do in her 70s now that she has an underwater mortgage on a house that’s falling apart around her to the point where I can no longer help with my very limited handyman skills. Or when I talk to my friend who bought a house…

I gave a coworker an owl pellet and he thought it was the best gift he ever received. Different strokes, I suppose haha.

Haha, my mom just the other day asked me if I thought my uncle would like a particular book. I was like “mom, you got me that book years ago because *he* recommended it as a gift. Not to mention, I just saw it at their house at Thanksgiving!”

Ligaments and tendons.

Well there’s your problem. Terminator skeletons aren’t supposed to be in your carry-on, they should be in checked luggage.

Congrats, you arrived at my point.

Just give us a Baby Yoda spinoff and call it a day already, Jesus.

I 100% agree. She’s one of the only few who’s actually “qualified” to do the job.

Almost all of them. Betsy is doing a great job being mostly quiet and competent at being evil.

And of course our Russian friends are still just as prolific as ever - great piece about some recent research:

Haha the funny thing is that weeks later, I finally had time to jump back into the game, and last night there was another cutscene where a character is basically like “hey, buddy, how’s that Force connection workin’ for ya? Still having trouble?”
