I think I had a thing I wrote up and expertly formatted with citations and everything about what makes a good apology and what apologies do more harm than good but that's disappeared without comment or constructive criticism. I thought maybe it was being cleaned or something but maybe it never...

And you want to make me interact with him? Do you think that's a safe idea? I generally do my best to go without cracking skulls, but if you put him in my hands he won't even know what happened.

Yeah, that's something that I struggle with too--are we devolving and forgetting our manners or is it a good thing that these things are shifting in a time when we're reexamining outdated ideas of what a man should and what a woman should (see the list of "don't walk alone at night" and the...

The fuck did you just say? ;) I did a whole week-long ban in a day! Talk about efficiency. Re LL, there was a management change over there (advertisers all got glowing letters about the good news) so maybe the new kids are shifting the vibe of LL to, uh, match an esthetic of other...

Ugh. I used to get a ton of benevolent sexism when I was a courier. At first it was cute to be seen as cute, "let me get Chad to help you load that into your car for you, hang on miss.". And I'd smile as say, thank you, that's very kind, but I gotta keep going, I'm on the clock. After a week...

If it makes sense, they haven't. They're beta-testing. They're going to oscillate between the new one and the old one while and stress test the system. Send it live, find a handful of bugs, switch back to Ol' Faithful, fix bugs, rinse repeat. Best case, they're listening and try to tweak...

It would be too damaging to my career if I told half of the internet that I could hand them their ass if I needed to and then had an opinion about macro-economics. God, getting laid in college after I came out about my stance that Keynesian economics and supply-side policies are the same coin...

These ironies are not lost on me, unfortunately. Re starting a SP-only credit union... can I start on that next week? I've kinda got my hands full right now.

Cash has the benefit of being mattress-able in a world where banks can (and do) decide that, while legal, sex work is an "unsavory" client to have at a bank and we're going to have to close your account.

If you can't understand that, then you're part of the problem! ;) Elsi jokes, buddy's just lost. Let's gently guide him to the other side of the internet. It can be a confusing place and we were all new once.

Wait a minute-- One could theoretically keep Kelsey as their own, hey? Any other object-for-payment situation from someone we find online is called a sale. Yeah, she identifies as an American college student, but I bet she doesn't even have a legal birth certificate. "Tort law would protect the...

Don't slut-shame Kelsey! ;)

This thread has managed to stay respectful and considerate so far and you all have made me so proud. Two blowies for everyone, but sybian loses one (because fuck it, why not, I haven't take a shot at him lately).

We agreed to tell people I was all bark and you had the chompers, remember? No, people don't remember what you say, they remember how you made them feel.

You don't have to agree with the politics to appreciate someone risking their life for their country. Thank you, Vet. I'll pour one out for your buddy too.

And here we go into Combat 418, but many of these skills require practice, the confidence to follow through on a strike, and the ability to think while your head is flooding with adrenaline and the only thing you can hear is the occasional 'pop' or 'crack' over the roar of your own heartbeat...

Ding, ding, ding! Self-Defense 101 says wearing a ponytail is dangerous because if someone decides to nab you, you've given them a handle to grab you by and have made it nearly impossible to escape if you cannot overpower an attacker physically while they have your skull and you're not willing...

I just want a man to tell me why ponytails are dangerous. Ladies, don't spoil it. Watch them spin.

Put on yer subtitles and mute it, I guess.

"Highest recommendation." "Physicality aside, Elsi s one of the wittiest, funniest, smartest people I have ever met. Anywhere. In any context. She is someone i could gladly while away the day with, just bullshitting and drinking beer. No - make that multiple days. She is an exceptional...
