Working class hero from my neck of the woods.

The student is in my symbolic logic class, so this kinda thing doesn't ever come up, but they were at my office for the first time and saw how many of my office supplies have pride stickers on them.

VERY gay student: "I didn't know you were an Ally, professor."

"Of course I am. I'm not a hateful piece of shit."

"Are you allowed to say that to students?"

"Probably not. You ain't gonna snitch, are you?"

"Nah. It's truth."

Lithe, muscular bodies are fleeting.

Scales are forever.

Well, except in this world, I guess, where some 70-year-old women have IDENTICAL bodies to their 20-something grandchildren.

When people say "no one has a sense of humor anymore," what they actually mean is, "The small group of like-minded chodes I used to tell these jokes to thought they were hilarious, but now that thousands of strangers hear them, apparently most people disagree."

A student sent me a lengthy screed full of Bible quotes trying to convert me to Christianity today. I responded with:

"These are obviously not the words of Christ, since the Christ did not speak English."

Every time some other spaceflight species meets a human for the first time, they ask us if we'd mind whistling for them, and they are absolutely delighted when we do it. It's our thing.

I hope someday humans become part of a galactic community and or turns out what sets us apart from the others is some trivial shit like we can whistle.

That particular brand and model of tire was actually known for wearing down unusually fast, but I did not know this until AFTER I went to the tire place to get new ones and they were like, "Yeah, this model never lasts 25,000 miles. Dunno why."

It was also the case that my tires were very worn despite having less than 25,000 miles on them, and I probably would've been able to maintain control had that not been the case. Check your tires, people. Sometimes they wear down quicker than you think.

I once hit a full on oil slick on the freeway and my car did a fucking 540 before coming a stop, and I'd hit NOTHING. Just sat there for a few minutes, restarted the engine, and drove home. It was the most alert, careful, and law-abiding drive home of my entire life.

Oh, it bangs. It just doesn't experience romantic attachment. 😉

My greyhound's toe beans are all black, but she does have one white claw on each back foot. It's the outermost claw on both of them.

fun fact:

Unless you are EXTREMELY old, Neptune hasn't completed even one half of one orbit in your entire lifetime.

Remember they gotta dust off their hands and straighten their collars as they turn around and go back inside.

Just check out the bibliographies of John Locke or David Hume. They are some of the most brilliant writers who ever lived, and all of their titles are just brief descriptions of the thing they wrote.

I'm not normally one to endorse reboots, sequels, or other schlocky cash grabs based on existing IPs . . . but I could really go for a Legally Blonde 3 in which we see what Elle Woods is up to at the age of 50.

Or just SAY you have the rights, then sign the release yourself, and in the unlikely event the artist DOES sue your employers, they can simply shift liability to you, since you defrauded them. Sometimes a little minor fraud is actually the best strategy, since such a lawsuit is unlikely to happen.

If you are an aspiring model or actor who has visible tattoos, you'll probably just want to get a release from the artists, granting the commercial rights to the artwork to you, that way you don't have to get in touch with them for every single thing you might appear in.

Tattoos are original works of art, protected by copyright, and so (in most jurisdictions) their commercial use requires a release from the artist, just as it would if you wanted to use a song or clip from a movie in a commercial advertisement.

fun fact:

If you have visible tattoos and audition to appear in a commercial advertisement, depending on the jurisdiction, the advertiser might need permission from the tattoo artists to show the tattoos in the commercial. So maybe be willing to cover them up.

This is a nice treat both for drivers who want to bring their dogs to work, and for passengers who want to meet adorable canines. The service can use their usual behavioral algorithms and such to determine whether Ride-With-A-Dog is a premium service or a discount service.

Idea for ridesharing service:

Ride-With-A-Dog
This ride has a dog. The dog will be vaccinated and well-behaved and secured in one of the seats with a harness. It will produce dog hair and dog smells and maybe even dog drool. Do not select this ride unless you want to share it with an adorable pup.

And, to be fair, there's no reason for it to go any further. There's absolutely nothin within the next 40 feet or so that anyone ever would want to get to by sidewalk.

I have to believe that they placed the sign there BEFORE they knew exactly where the sidewalk was going to end, though. Because it's SO CLOSE to the sign

There's a place near me with a sign that says "sidewalk ends within 50 ft" and then the end of the sidewalk is like, 6 or 7 feet past the sign. It's a very strange place to put such a sign.

First day of zoology grad school:

"Look to your left. Now look to your right. Statistically speaking, only one of you is not a nematode."

"Fancy man" should be a DnD class . . . or maybe a Bard subclass

I just like point out that Arizona Iced Tea has been $1 for the same sized can for over 40 fucking years.

Inflation is a con.

I have always loved how much she looks like a cartoon in this photo.
