We can also hear the difference between hot and cold water from the sound it makes while being poured into a cup

Unfortunately, we’re the only ones with true chins, but I still scratch my cat’s undermouth area and call it a chin.

To be fair, he didn’t exactly have to go to dental school or anything

Then they might actually be Gen Z, lol

That’s why it’s done through email and not at checkout

There was a great joke going around near brexit, that the US and UK were in a competition to ruin their countries. The UK really pulled ahead with brexit, but the us had a trump card.
- Comment on Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement. 3 weeks ago:
I get most of my clothing free (I’m not picky and I’m a common size), so at least in my case, sometimes I paid nothing to look like an advertisement. I don’t really care what’s on the shirt, and some of them are logos I don’t recognize, so it could be anything. It’s there to keep me from being arrested or kicked out, and my primary criteria are comfort in texture and temperature. If it’s comfy, has no holes/stains and fits well, I’m not worried about what design it has on it.
…To a point, I’m not wearing anything bigoted (though part of me enjoys the idea of a queer autistic immigrant getting use out of bigotry by wearing it inside out, but not enough)
My favorite sweatshirts are my uniform sweatshirts from the bakery I work at- they’re high quality and comfy as hell, plus I’ll never, ever wear them at work because it’s a bakery, it’s hot as fuck.

On a world scale? Absolutely.

Sure, but I’m rich because I have a net worth of about €10k, retirement savings included. I’m not the rich, because my €700 rent is sometimes tough, even as part of a DINK couple.

Sometimes I try to pause my husband. It’s probably because we have different native languages, but it always gives us a laugh

Yep. Maybe the sister’s named Elizabeth (and they obviously didn’t accept any nicknames)
- Comment on Meta’s Israel Policy Chief Tried to Suppress Pro-Palestinian Instagram Posts 4 weeks ago:
That’s honestly worse. They shouldn’t be allowed to lobby actively enough to warrant a public policy department in any country, let alone all of them.
- Comment on Meta’s Israel Policy Chief Tried to Suppress Pro-Palestinian Instagram Posts 4 weeks ago:
Honestly, the fact that meta has an Israel policy chief is a problem. They’re a private company, why do they have country-specific policy departments?
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 weeks ago:
I thought he willed himself back to full dexterity, but I also didn’t really pay attention to the movie, to be fair.
- Comment on Honey 4 weeks ago:
I’m in the same camp, but wording it as “unable to assimilate new information” might actually help me have more sympathy for the willfully ignorant. That sounds awful to deal with.

That would honestly still be impressive. Maybe not news-worthy, but definitely small town gossip material
- Comment on I love children's sense of humour 1 month ago:
Honestly, everyone just being a little gracious is all you really need.
I’m vegan and I have no issues going to a normal bbq place for someone else’s party(though I don’t know what this place would be like). I can eat corn and undressed salad for a meal, I’ll survive. If the party were for me, I’d probably feel like it was passive aggression or a weird test though.
Similarly, there will be non-vegan food when I introduce my husband to my family and celebrate our wedding in my home country with a potluck, because one of my sisters has celiac’s and the other IBS, which restricts her fiber intake. I would have been totally cool with exclusively mashed potatoes (skin off) for dinner and sorbet for dessert, but I don’t think many others would be, and there’s not much else that works for all of us.
Sure, I could tell them not to bring non-vegan food, but that’s not very gracious, and I want people to be comfortable. They’d probably agree and either eat ahead of time or leave earlier and eat on the way home, so it’s not like there’s a practical difference in meat consumption, and it’s a great way to make people feel less welcome.

While celebrating them, no less

We’ve been seeing these signs for years, but what can we do about it? A world war could never be a surprise, because it requires significant worldwide tension.

There’s also no evidence that horseshoe crabs have individual names and understand the concept of evolution.
