Oh, he keeps moving them!! This is great!! Maybe he'll go for the elusive triple.

Hey!! There he is!!

Sort of? But you're not winning any converts with the way you're approaching this. At best you're being pedantic. At worst… well, JMP has that angle covered.

Sooooo…. Nobody is allowed to campaign against police brutality against people of color until there are no more murders of POC by POC?

Oh shit. Guess I should have scanned literally half an inch down before I posted.

Fair enough. There's nothing wrong with "her" (she didn't write the book) making a statement that says you shouldn't be a slave to your schedule. That's fine. What is not fine is using a quote that is talking about LITERAL slavery to preface that point in "her" book. It's breathtakingly tone deaf and stupid.

I don't have cable. It's great. It does mean that my tolerance for idiotic talking heads has become perilously low, however. If a treadmill/elliptical at the gym is unoccupied but the previous user was watching Fox & Friends I will compulsively turn the monitor off.

Keep her. Where's Thelma?

I was told I had to work harder than everybody else and set an example while working at my grandparents gas station during my teen years.

You are at least self-aware about it. I've heard enough "Why does this keep happening to me?" sobs to last several lifetimes at this point.

"I don't the last time my friends and loved ones see me to be as a bloated, ugly corpse in an expensive box."

Yeah, I'm a little torn on it. I like the idea (Yay, trees!) but the execution is a bit… off-putting. Maybe go the cremation route and then have your ashes mixed with plant mix or something. I realize that cremation is probably way more taxing on the environment than what planting a single tree would offset but, hey,…

There's a "new" thing where you are placed in a biodegradable pod with a tree planted above it. Over time the tree roots reach the pod and you become fertilizer, basically.

Are you this insufferable in person?

Considering her current beau, I assure you, that would be much, much worse. For everyone.

I love the word twat. It's just fun to say. That one can be lobbed around with a little more abandon.

Oh, I didn't expect that it was something you said around your grandmother. And I understand the sexist overtones. But I'm a mechanic. To put it bluntly, shit gets obscene where I work. Even in that environment, dropping the C-word is a rare and extreme instance.

I just ate, jackass. Look at this mess… And now I'm gonna be hungry again before dinner.

I was 18 or 19 at the time. She had just gotten out of a pretty crappy marriage (Spoiler Alert: All of her marriages have been crappy) and was doing a sort of Stella Got Her Groove Back thing.

I liked Looper a little better.
