I am not a socialist, trade unionist, or a Jew, so I don’t see any problems here.

Coronation Street. I spend $10 a month for a BritBox subscription to watch just that.

I get that it’s cool to shit on superhero movies these days, but man I hope this is good. I am a DC fan and the Snyder movies never did it for me.

Nice pair of sunglasses. Wanted them, didn’t need them, bought them anyway. My wife thinks they look nice on me. Win win.

Not as bad as when you think, “That first time was probably a fluke…I’ll try drinking again.”

Some things are in our control and others not.

Epictitus, The Enchiridion

Haha! I bet those dummies are gonna feel real stupid when they find out someone already made this movie.

Boston is further north than NYC.

I’m in a fight club, but I’m not supposed to talk about it.

At the moment, it’s that I’ve been awake since 2AM because I can’t shut my brain off about an issue I think might come up later this week at work, that I have no control over, yet can’t help but feel responsible for.

And I would really like to just get some fucking sleep because I’m not being paid to worry about this shit right now.

I’ve had my Hotmail account since 1999 when I was in high school and it still works well enough. It’s what 99% of my accounts or web presence is tied to. I still occasionally get emails from old friends or forum members I haven’t heard from in years who only know me at that address.

I’ve spent (to me) a significant amount of time getting the folder structure, auto-sorting rules, and junk mail filters set up the way I like them. I just can’t be arsed to do that all over again for some new address that will also be considered uncool in a few years time.

I do have a couple more ‘professional’ emails, like first.last@respectableprovider.com, but they just forward to my Hotmail account anyway.

Yes, you have correctly interpreted the answer.

Looks like some conservative astroturf organization co-opted the name in 2022…

Not sure I fully understand the question, but does your water heater have (or can you add) a sacrificial anode?

I am an English monoglot. Years ago, was working overseas in Kuwait when I experienced a sudden onset of testicular pain and swelling. Went to the hospital and got taken to an elderly Arabic ultrasound technician to examine my junk. After a few minutes of smearing cold jelly on me, he says something…in Arabic.

I do not understand.

He repeats it, this time poking me in the fupa.

I look confused and try to adjust my position on the table to give him better access, hoping this is what he wants.

He sighs, searching for the little English he knows. Finally he says, “Like pooping…but not pooping!” and wags his finger in my face. That’s how I understood he wanted me to tense my lower abdominal wall so he could check for a hernia.

Season tickets to Manchester United.

Here ya go

That non sequitur caught my attention, too…best guess is they’re referring to the Carter Administration trying to stabilize the dairy industry with subsidies in 1977 which led to a massive backlog of cheap, processed cheese stuff that Reagan unloaded on welfare recipients throughout the '80s.

I don’t even remember why now, but just a couple days ago I looked up how long ago Harris Yulin died…still alive.

I think it’s a metaphor.
