My employer offered me a modest severance package, and set my last day to be the first working day of the month, meaning my health care benefits are valid for almost a full month after my last day.
Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American

That’s actually something that varies from country to country.
the American style places commas and periods inside the quotation marks, even if they are not in the original material. British style (more sensibly) places unquoted periods and commas outside the quotation marks. For all other punctuation, the British and American styles are in agreement: unless the punctuation is part of the quoted material, it goes outside the quotation marks.

I am very much “lawful good” to “lawful neutral” in general, but when I’m fostering kittens, the TP has to go in the cabinet above the toilet. Where does that land?

I think you mean less viscous? Isn’t more viscosity = more thickness?
- Comment on Ironing 4 months ago:
Yep. The dry cycle also takes about twice as long, but supposedly it’s more gentle on fabrics. It’s a pretty nifty option for small spaces without a way to properly vent the dryer, but I can see why they’re not more popular. The machine came with the place, so I didn’t exactly choose it, but I hang dry most stuff anyway, and definitely prefer it over dealing with shared, coin operated machines.

Ooops. Millennial here and I often iron my bed sheets. I have a weird ventless washer/dryer combo thing, and no matter how quickly I pull my sheets out or what dryness level I set it to, they come out quite wrinkled. I don’t really mind if the main sheet is a bit wrinkly, but it drives me nuts when the top edge gets all folded, and then those folds become permanent creases.

I wish I didn’t read that, and then read it again repeatedly trying to process what I just read. Lol. I’m sorry.

Ummm, acktually, it was on my kitchen counter, and I threw it away like half a day ago.
- Comment on Why does the film press talk so much about box office income? 8 months ago:
I hate it because income feels like a number that the studios really care about, but what about number of tickets sold? A movie released this year has a huge head start on box office income when compared to a movie from 20 years ago, since ticket prices have easily doubled. Plus, theatres often have different prices for students, children, seniors, matinees, and even IMAX/3D. So wouldn’t it be more apples to apples over time to compare number of tickets sold, rather than total income?
