It the same thing everytime.
"Do you thing now one should work in a coffee shop?"
"I wouldn't!"
"Do you think coffee shops shouldn't exist?"
"No, I love coffee!"
"So you're bad."

... goddamn that sounds like hell.
It seems like you are in a better place now and I am very glad for you!

They already have their circle-jerk CMAs, but no one cares about those, so they gotta make their mediocrity everyone else's problem.

... maybe I'm a wuss, but i wouldn't be that specific unless asked/prompted. It feels very "brutally honest by way of unnecessarily mean".

It's sarcasm. A dry joke at the expense of racists to highlight the absurdity.

This was quite literally the first crystalline example of misogyny I spotted as a kid.
The idea that women are inherently better cooks at home but wholly incapable of being prestigious pro cooks was obviously stupid to 8yo me. Both of those things can't be true.

I'm so pleased some of the cords are pulled back so they can see.

*rolled up newspaper* No! Bad!
(Seriously, the topic isn't unworthy of discussion, it just gets frustratingly recursive in my experience.)

Nope! TBF it was more "malfunction due to jammed/misaligned internals" than fully broken.
Prior owners were a multigenerational family that seemed to have a lot of internal drama/arguing going on, & didn't follow all of the purchase agreement (took the curtains, etc). We just rolled with it.

I hear you there.
Basically the S & D of the WASD"gamer keys" have rubbed off. They get WAY more use then the rest of the board.
I'm finding that most replacement caps are a very different kind. Hmmm. Maybe I can find a busted one to cannibalize for keycaps.

Razer DeathStalker Expert. Was just looking to see about replacement caps for a couple worn letters.

I don't have any performance issues with mine, buuuuut I've had it for a decade with 2-3 cats.
I highly suspect i should do this, I'm just nervous because I've never done it & don't wanna brick my only keyboard.

I don't get what point you're making here.
If it helps you understand, the cop first tried to convince us we had just misplaced what was stolen (including the truck) & I had to argue with him to fill out a report.
We had moved in recently & this was how we learned that that door's lock didn't work.
comment in response to

Basically. We had a light burglary (teen found an unlocked door) that swiped a wallet, phone, & keys our beater truck.
Cop taking the report was hostile. Only reason the truck was recovered is because a local retired guy likes to drive around town looking for reported stolen/abandoned cars for free.

Tangential question: what's the next thing you rely on since you are a little face blind?
I'm not, but when I can't recognize someone voice/speech is my next big clue. I was floored to learn that doesn't help my somewhat-face-blind wife at all.

What I've learned here is you can successfully rock any hair color and that lady is biased against blonde women.

I'm reminded of a stick-horse competition at my state fair as a kid.
Bunch of elementary kids in colorful, fringed, rhinestone cowboy getups galloping around a barn arena on blinged out stick-horses.
No idea what the judging criteria was , but that was one of the campiest drag things I've witnessed.

So it sounds like you ate the correct amount of pad thai.

Man, I don't see the point of these kinda reviews. If you don't prefer/can't handle the standard dish, then your opinion is useless.
Most Indian dishes aren't my fave texture or flavor profile, so I've no meaningful opinion to share. I love tandoori chicken, so might have something useful on that.

I can think of: power dynamics (for either/both), position comfort, top may prefer some movement/squirming/grinding, and smothering is a kink out there.

I'm currently getting away with a NukaCola Girl poster in my home office that you can see when I'm on camera.
I mean, "getting away" with art less risqué than the vintage ads it's based on is maybe a bit of a stretch, but you know how corps can be.

I always read it as the same thing humans do on earth, have a colloquial name for foreign things that is more conceptually descriptive than correct (eggplant, koala bear, black forest cake, etc).

I don't know if your hives are consistently in streaks like this, or are quite the kind described as dermographia- but maybe? dermographia is associated with a few autoimmune disorders including PoTs & Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.

Hmmm, streaks like that make me think transfer contact. Like scratched your arm while wearing contaminated gardening gloves, brushed across an irritating plant, that sort of thing.

They chiseled the fucking lintel out!?! There's no reason on earth to do that!

This is the lamest shit. If I hear a new (good) noise, my first thought is "oooh, I found a higher gear, fuck yeah". Maybe ask a few questions after to understand a little more to make sure it's repeatable.
Dude is not worth the effort.

I agree, with the minor caveat of straight kinksters in kink spaces.
I think it's for similar reasons; a smaller population where talking specifics & trust is necessary to have the experience you want.

And, let's be real here. "Those guys betrayed you" is an easier sell than "you were too stupid/naive/ignorant/selfish to see what you were voting for"- even if the latter is true. Probably extra when it's true.

People get so defensive!
I'm not judging other's drinks, I just don't drink much because it's pricey, it makes me immediately heat up & sweat, then once I pass tipsy I'm hyper-conversational-philosophy-man and I don't wanna be obnoxious.
We're all happier this way.

For the record, she got permission to harvest from the neighbor's enormous hostas. I don't think he understood she wanted to eat them.
comment in response to

My wife also learned you can harvest and eat the early shoots from an established hosta.
Just ok in my opinion, kinda neutral flavored asparagus shaped things.

I know they're babies, but even wild turkeys are large birds so I didn't think the chicks would be so tiny!
