Warrior.

I seem to want to protect and defend things. Plus I am big and strong.

I’m a little bit rogue though, as I tend to overlook rules if it gets the job done.

And mage? I am bright but terrible at book learning and arcane sigils.

LuxeBidet is the model I got.

Totally entry level, hooks up to the water supply to the toilet tank. No heat or special features, stupid easy to install. Price around $50.

To my mind, no need to go more expensive until you know more what you might want.

I do have an aunt and uncle who got an expensive toilet bidet unit with heated seat and all the features… after having tried my bidet while visiting.

Plus with the cheap unit you get the bonus of hearing the startled yelps of your uninitiated guests as cold water hits their asshole for the first time.

I am identifying obstacles to making this clinic able to operate without being overrun by lawsuits.

I am not at all opposed to workarounds - it’s why I am pointing out the obstacles. We need to update laws so that minors have bodily autonomy.

In my opinion, that’s the legal solution. It doesn’t mean there aren’t other ways to make it work that Mamdani might embrace, because as a mayor he cannot enact that kind of legislation in the first place.

There was a terrible standup bit that I loved. I believe it was from An Evening at the Improv.

Guy is doing a bad private eye shtick: “Either this man was stabbed to death with a spoon, or his entire body is breaking out in little smiles.”

I have searched online for the clip for literally over a decade, and I know this because I searched once a few years ago and found… myself asking the exact same question on a forum a decade earlier.

The unfortunate reality is that not having that policy would mean 80% of their funding would go to legal defense for lawsuits from aggrieved right wing parents who have outside funding for their suits.

Until the laws state clearly that minors can make their own medical decisions independent of their parents, this is the correct decision. And even in that case this clinic would still be under attack.

Reality still sucks, and we still need to keep trying to make it better. Mamdani is a ray of hope, but he isn’t in and of himself hope incarnate, nor is he a perfect ray of light.

He’s just human. So are we. He’s trying to make things better, and so can we.

As discussed in the latest Taskmaster podcast with Ed Gamble and Kumail Nanjiani, Joel Dommett is legitimately about to release a line of men’s skin care products named For Skin.

Man, I am so glad my eye doctor told me it wasn’t worth it rather than just taking the money!

The answer is that Lasik isn’t a cure-all.

I had the same experience. My vision was getting kinda bad and I wanted Lasik. I went to an eye doctor, and while I am farsighted in the left eye, the right is 20/20.

Lasik would fix the farsightedness, but having that in one eye is an asset for driving. So now I have driving glasses and won’t worry about Lasik.

Aww, thanks!

Just to number 3, I wouldn’t read anything more into that than he wanted to say it.

Sometimes you just say something awkwardly or forget you’d already said it, but wanted to be sure you did.

He wants to stay in touch. Maybe get his email so you can keep chatting.

And it could be that he is hoping for more. That’s the cost of pursuing friendships. Sometimes people want different things. It is what it is. The search for human connection doesn’t have a predefined conclusion.

Better Call Sol.

I would wager that an additional two in five were oblivious to such harassment or contact.

As a young boy I was totally unaware when a man flashed me and my sister.

Could’ve added: Cook.

Cook sprayed with non-cooking spray stick.

It’s existence led to this Mr. Show skit.

And I am sorry to say this, but Mustmayostardayonnaise Lincoln was a Jan 6th rioter. (I secretly love having used that brand new sentence.)

That was the upset in the timeline that somehow delayed or prevented the Bell Riots.

They’re all doubleplusgood.

Might have to.

Little steps begin great journeys.

The games are now vastly more complex.

I bounced off of Helldivers 2 for this exact reason. Something around 16 buttons on a PS5 controller and they were assigning functions for short, mid, long press, and button combinations.

I can’t remember all that shit!

Yes, I am getting old.

I used to wait at the bus stop in the winter at 6am when it was still pitch black out.

It would be light before the bus got there and dark again within two hours of getting home.

This was in Minneapolis, but I lived in the south side while going to a specialized program at North High, the other side of the city, so it wasn’t typical.
