As a person who abandoned prayer along with belief a long time ago it’s hypocritical of me to say this, but “from your mouth to God’s ears!”

(quotes because it’s an old expression but perhaps not universally known, expressing a desire that God will not only hear but do something to make it happen. )

Don’t worry, it will probably get people to take a second glance in case there’s something to leer at, but it’s not going to harm anyone.

Looking at the thread, I bet some people didn’t downvote your initial comment at first, then kept reading and got to “moronic” and your off-topic little rant about “Not everything is USA or Anglo-style body shame double standards, where saying boop makes things 21+. And requires parental warnings more than showing people killing each other.”

And that’s when they went back and downvoted your whole string.

By the way, there’s nothing in my comment that would be NSFW even in the US.

Hey Buffalox, coming in later and seeing all the downvotes, I’m sorry, you don’t deserve them. I was deliberately using phrasing that English or American people would recognize from certain kinds of public instruction short films or nature shows, and also in comic parodies of those films. Specifically, “And here we see…” as the opener. As a Dane, that might not be familiar to you. And I used quotation marks to indicate I was doing the (usually rather pompous) voice of that kind of narrator.

But I probably should have prefaced it.

Oddly, you’ll notice in my history my prefacing actual quotes with

followed by the quote and then

for my comment.

Yes you are wise. I have a couple gifts ordered from companies who have decided to bombard me with spam, but I need to track the order until it arrives and then I can block them.

I live in LA and just checked my TV after reading your post. Colbert, Kimmel and Fallon are all playing as usual (it’s 11:45 here). But they’re all reruns from earlier this month. That’s probably normal on a Friday, just like The Daily Show doesn’t even run on Fridays. The networks have hope for you having a social life on Fridays.

So, maybe your local stations did do a blackout, but you’re not missing out on Trump blowing Mamdani. Maybe SNL tomorrow would be good for that.

I tried this and was no longer able to separate my email into Primary Updates and Promotions, and I started getting pings for every stupid ad. So I put it back. I think I’ll start sending weird emails to myself; “teach your kids (the AI) to talk wrong.”

“And here we see the seatbelt sliding sideways to squash one boob and cut into the side of the female dummy’s neck because it’s not sufficiently adjustable. Meanwhile we notice that in order to be able to fully depress the brake pedal, the female dummy must position the seat so close to the steering column that the airbag will likely cause severe injury.”

They’ve been told these things by actual living women for decades but maybe they’ll find it harder to ignore the proof from the plastic dummy.

The miasma theory claimed diseases were caused by bad sanitation, foul odors and unhealthy air. Before the discovery of germs, it led to the creation of a sewer system in London, and ventilation systems in hospitals, (both of which helped reduce exposure to the germs they didn’t believe in) although it didn’t stop greedy water companies from pumping drinking water from downstream on the Thames, or ease overcrowding and poverty.

The problem with Kennedy’s “just get healthier” version is that like all other Republican schemes it doesn’t provide any actual support for doing so. Because that would take money from the deserving wealthy to aid the indigent poor!

We all know where the real foul odor is coming from…

Old person here, with short legs. If I can hear your feet I’ll try to keep to the right, and I might even slow down a little to make the passing moment faster. I appreciate if you say “On your left,” as you go by. Because then we’re both heroes.

What if the reason homo sapiens out-reproduced Neanderthals is that Neanderthals were so much better at oral sex?

There’s established precedent of few or no consequences for such chatter, and the original perpetrator has already been punished. If it bothers you, refuse to date anyone who participates in Trump-blowing-Bubba laughter and memes.

Yes, and if you GENTLY press on your eyelids you can make other colors happen.

Also if you stare at a clear sky, NOT AT THE SUN, or at a bluish wall, you may see little swirly things, it’s the white blood cells in your retinas swimming around.

Might be a good moment to ask the Board if they’d like to go another route

Did you delete a comment, or is this your comment? Because funny if so

Mythical or not, how creatures or people are portrayed in media often has very little to do with how they actually are. Or especially how one acts towards an individual, such as you. As long as it’s not leading you into doing something dangerous, or withdrawing from reality, your version/interpretation is just as valid as the stories someone else dreamed up.

Yeah that’s what I thought… In the 1970s.

I’m sorry to say it’s not going as well as I’d hoped.

I’d say it’s pretty hard for a woman to both have enough experience to be taken seriously as a candidate and simultaneously have no past baggage or party agenda.

And I don’t think most male candidates are held to that standard, either.

The misogyny is palpable. In the country as a whole.

You probably type too fast for the old typewriters and don’t hit hard enough, but you’d adapt. And don’t forget the carriage return!
