Norm, you're a mensch. Truly great stuff in this thread.

(And now I need to try the taco place next time I'm in San Marcos.)

The “Scalia” professor of law at Harvard was really all I needed to see from that poster.

Part of it is realize that sometimes, the mood swings are not directed at you (even if you feel like/appear to be the target).

To be fair, this is also me most mornings before I get in my car and go to work.

In other words...

How much of him is human and how much is just a sentient pile of coke?

If nothing else, I hope some people learn that having a functioning government, and career civil servants, really actually matters quite a lot.

I believe it is "Spider-Men" over "Spider-Mans", although both are acceptable.

"Spider People" also comes into play when Spider-Woman (or Spider Gwen, et al.) are involved.

I absolutely snickered at this, and I hate that I know what "boy kibble" is.

Honestly, I thought he was still coming set. But I've never seen the young man pitch before, so I guess it was a balk. But that's tough, to me.

Again, if you want explain why trust in universities has declined in the last decade, & you don't benchmark that decline against contemporaneous declines in trust in <every other societal institution> in 🇺🇸, then you cannot identify variables internal to universities as the main or sole explanations.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Or Diners Drive-ins and Dives time.

Absolutely a “listen to me now. Believe me later on” moment for you.

Oh, Katelyn. I'm so sorry. *hugs*

You hear someone in their 20's talking, and suddenly you're having fucking Nam flashbacks from 20 years ago when the only people who talked like that were ridiculously awful fucking people.

The greying of automobiles is a solid complaint. Like with the greiging of interior design, everything is just so dull.

Well...I mean...seems like some of them are.

Also, I know that we, as an industry, have failed to reach certain folks. So we haven't done ourselves favors here. There's a lot to it.

I am all for the private chef/sous chef. I love that concept. I love to cook, but if I could have someone do my prep for me, that would be the best.

Welp. Seems like it’s not okay. And I agree with Claire’s sentiment.

Why make a cartoon of this using AI?

Using "leaking" when talking about someone named Dick Tips is...something.

But everyone should be happy. Everyone's income is higher than it's ever been. </s>

Why are they booing you?

You're right.

25th also requires Vance at a minimum. So....

It's a constant game of Whack-a-Mole

Yup. Looks like an awesome one.
