I’m still a little bit racist, despite my best efforts.
That’s mine too. I just got rid of a pile of Fine Gardening magazines yesterday; someone was developing her interest in collage. A lot of “know a good mechanic?” type questions, and today there was a spirited discussion of heat pumps.
People who are jerks or ranters don’t get much of an audience.
John Donne was wrong. There are certain deaths I would cheer.
Woody Allen is not a great filmmaker.
It’s OK to like Adam Sandler movies.
The Terminator in T2 should not have destroyed itself. It had learned empathy. It should have used its empathic AI to create Sky Net.
…or, you know, just kill anyone who tried to reverse engineer it.
While this year I just hung a wreath on the door and plugged in the party lights wrapped around a houseplant still I don’t understand the rush to undo all the trappings of Christmas, it’s depressing to see Christmas trees out on the curb already on the 26. We’d leave it all up until epiphany at least.
It is not the dress that is making your ass look fat.
I totally respect you. And it’s not meant in a bad way. At all.
But, yes, I’ve imagined you naked.
I’ve even imagined you naked and…doing stuff.
I forget which Vonnegut novel it was where he made a statement like “Just because you can reproduce, it doesn’t mean you should.”
Well yes. The problem is there’s no booze at this party!
On the other hand, and here’s my example of something you’re not supposed to say, the Democrats need to stop worrying about being polite and not offending people and being all middle of the road acceptable. They HAVE to start raising hell, and fighting dirty to win.
At least some. Not be batshit crazy about it, but c’mon! GET PISSED OFF!!!
Yep. I’ll attend all sorts of dry events because I want to be there. A wedding? Honestly, I’d rather not attend. However, I will attend with the promise of copious volumes of refreshment.
Equal protection before the law is a fiction, as can be seen on this very board.
To paraphrase: “Stop complaining that Trump is not being treated like anyone else would; Trump is not like anyone else.”
Just claiming something is part of your/their/a culture does not automatically mean it’s good and acceptable.
This was probably ‘covered’ in that discussion, but the efficiency difference isn’t huge — so it’s not amazing for someone to not be aware of it.
For example (from Cook’s Illustrated):
When we brought 4 quarts of water to a boil in covered and uncovered stainless steel Dutch ovens, the covered pot boiled in just over 12 minutes and the uncovered pot boiled in 13 minutes and 15 seconds. But why waste even a small amount of heat when it’s so easy not to? That said, since you’re not losing time or energy until the water begins to steam, put the water on to heat first and then go hunting for the lid.
Well if the lid is on, how will I know when it is boiling?
Maybe use pots with tempered glass lids?
Military personnel are not my heroes. It’s a career choice and it’s something society needs, but I feel no need to gush over you and not over my mailman, garbage man, dentist, doctor, utility worker, and all the others that make society function. Nothing personal, but I don’t see what makes you worthy of adoration nor do I put more stock in your political opinions than those of anyone else.
Statues do not teach history, they show what we value. We know all about Hitler without being exposed to statues of him. There is no valid reason to continue to display statues of people who waged war against our nation.
BobLibDem, I like that last paragraph.
