One time, while on dispatch for a client, I was stuck on the phone with their ISP. Behind me were all of the company interns, arguing about peanut butter.
It’s always stuck with me for two reasons. 1: One guy was arguing that crunchy peanut butter was like regular peanut butter, but with added wasps. 2: I regret every day that I did not ask the Comcast guy to weigh in over the phone.
The point I’m raising is that it’s dangerously close to telling a lesbian that they “just haven’t had the right dick yet”, etc.
I don’t mean to rebuke, either. I made the exact same comment about everyone being a little bit gay when I came out back in high school, and was immediately met with the same response I gave.
I can’t find a baker who makes loaves of bread to save my life. Even living near a major city, it’s all pastry. I just want to support a local business and have delicious fresh bread.
Careful with that line of thought; it also implies that everyone is a little bit straight.

Democracy@europe.pub•Can we get a “git blame” to tie lawmakers to law, please?
2·15 days agoI think that’s a brilliant plan. Maybe that’s something that could be built and refined at a local government level, then expanded out? You’ll need to work out a system of responsibility for accurately recording the data.
If you cross a Pomeranian with a Sharpei, you get a Pompeii. Very firey.
In my university class on modern China, we read Imperial Twilight during the section on the opium wars. It’s incredibly readable for such a dense topic, and really goes into all of the build up.

Now that’s my cat’s job. Never again will I buy a case with a top mounted power button.
The point is that he literally goes by a pronoun, not that it’s a bad show.
While it’s still probably not wholly original, the Odyssey is about 8 centuries older than the Aeneid.

My dog sometimes brings me one of his toys when I’m feeling down or sick. Though since I generally get more enjoyment out of watching him play with them, it might just be a long game.
My cat knocked a lamp onto me shortly after learning I couldn’t see with the VR headset on.

In theory I’m not opposed to it existing as an option, but I do not like it being mandatory at all. Websites and applications should never be allowed to know any PII without explicit consent.
