I bet Simone Giertz’s Truckla had working windshield wipers…

Front seat? Sure. Back seat? Nah. You have to remove paneling, pull a tab up, then pull a cord forward. That is a three step, non-obvious and non-intuitive way to open a door.

Yeah, okay, fair ban.

Have you listened to his Mythos Trilogy? It’s a compendium of Greek Mythology. He wrote and narrated it and it is brilliant. I’m on Troy right now (the third book).

Right? What other possible materials could they use? Prior to plastic, we just cupped our hands and had people pour beverages into them, or directly into our mouths.

Plastics have been revolutionary in keeping our hands and faces from getting sticky. I, for one, refuse to go back to the days of sucking off the tap.

The half-dog one is from Full Metal Alchemist.

It’s only half dog. Alchemically speaking.

And that would be white privilege. I’m not sure what you’re trying to convey here.

I mean, that’s true. It’s not “white privilege,” but it’s still privilege.

You are conflating two very different things. About half of the gay men I’ve known were fairly or very masculine, they just were attracted to men. And I’ve known plenty of straight guys that ranged from feminine to downright flamboyant. The way you tell if someone likes men or not is either if they tell you or flirt with you, and if they’re a man, then they are gay (or bi or whatever non-strictly-straight flavor).

Incidentally, most of the (non-trans) men I’ve known that were feminine or flamboyant were artists of some flavor, which tend to be a group with less inhibitions, so I would guess there are plenty of non-artist men that would show more femininity if they felt more comfortable with doing so.

How about both?

“The fuckin middle one.”

Kissinger’s already gone, so… I think Cheney is on deck.

I was in a group that traveled the country and stayed in school gyms over the summer. I can tell you, the worst school bathroom I had to poop in had a combination of all the worst things:

The toilet paper came out one piece at a time, like a napkin box at a restaurant but facing down. It was also this super thin ply.

The “stalls” were actually just small walls that went up to your shoulder (when sitting) and forward to your knees (when sitting).

They had a mirror running the full wall opposite the “stalls,” so you had nothing to look at but the wall of dudes pooping or furiously pulling individual tissues of tp out.

AT A HIGH SCHOOL. That shit should be considered abuse. I am so sorry for anyone who had to go to that bullshit school.

So I’m imagining a reboot, where adult Macauley Culkin is accidentally left at home by his wife and kids and figures out some robbers are coming. Rather than calling the police like a normal adult, he lays elaborate traps, many involving his current “toys” (power tools). It plays out the next 20 minutes as a Saw-like vignette, then the rest of the movie is a courtroom drama where he is being tried for the murder of the robbers. Does Castle Doctrine cover him? Can he consider it self defense if he never called police even with enough time to set up traps? Will he get treatment for his mental illness as his wife has been begging him to do (plot twist, she didn’t forget him, she left him at home and took the kids to her family’s for safety)?

Also the robbers are still Harry and Marv (just got out of prison) and they were old as shit and very much not a threat as robbers to a grown ass man.

Mariah Carey is our Christmas nostalgia music.

There have been others that have popped up, we’ve just collectively decided to forget them the following year because they were so bad.

Please don’t make us think of them. Let them die, or I’ll curse you with my yearly Christmas Trolling song, Christmas In The Northwest.

Where I live it would cost at least twice that. The veggie burgers would be about $12 per pack of two, buns would be around $9 (but only come in a 4 pack) and the Danish would probably be $8 or $9.

Real beef is still way cheaper. A pack of probably 15 patties is around $40.

I live in Alaska. Frozen stuff is a premium. And otherwise prices are all over the place, and supply depends on what came on the barge.

I started donating $1 per month, which I probably wouldn’t have if you hadn’t posted the link (happy to contribute, but honestly I lack the motivation to seek out the opportunity myself), so it did make a difference!

I cut my own hair (and do a reasonable job of it, I’d say) as well as my son’s, and this device would be a game changer.
