Yes, but rarely can I figure out how to use it. Whether it's a text, email, or web site I want to look at, the keys don't work the way they are supposed to or the keys themselves do not make sense.

What energy drink is shaped like that?? Maybe the diameter is similar, but no way it's the size of a whole can.

What a crazy context for this excerpt. Clear example of the depth of anti-semitism during this time period.

It is "A Jew" telling a Christian boy where to go in England once he gets there. While the boy thinks the Jew is looking out for him, he is actually sending him to be butchered by the Jews in Winchester, which he characterizes as the most moral place in England after he goes on and on about the wretchedness of all the other places in England the boy might come upon. He gives the boy a note to show to the Jews in Winchester, "written in Hebrew" so the boy doesn't actually know what it says. Boy gets to Winchester and does as told, then soon disappears. Clearly he's been killed by the Jews, but why they had to go to so much trouble to get him to Winchester is unclear.

Oh... Right... That's because this is all made up by Christians desperate for reasons to get rid of Jews.

For real. Dealers rarely have 93 bricks of cocaine, like this guy.

Ah, so he was just following his set of the instructions. This situation is exactly why I teach students to always put some kind of noun after a "this," so that it is clear what "this" refers to.

At least it's only two floors?

There were curfews in walled towns like London: all citizens were expected to be home with their fires out once the church bells tolled nine. Or maybe it was eight. Anyway, to walk at night then was nefarious in itself, as there was absolutely nothing worth doing that wasn't nefarious after curfew.

Everytime I vote for you, I taste 34 other felony convictions!!

Definitely Hmmm material...

Not trying to be a jerk. Please take this as kindly as it is meant.

The past tense of "draw" is "drawn." It is an irregular verb in English.

Silly English.

I really miss my vx junkies... I've been really discouraged about retuning my quantum slice deinhibitor ever since I left reddit.

Yes!

Honestly, left out the cannibalism so I didn't sound too crazy.

This is what exhaled out of me before I could even fully process what was going on.

Assholes love to fail upwards.

Noise, noise, noise, smoking weed...

In examining sex and gender in Igbo society today, it is evident that colonisation was not just an event. Colonisation is a structure, an unhealed wound that remains open to this day, in the form of Western gender norms among multiple other manifestations.

Thank you for this article. Deeply interesting.

For real. They have to find 90 bricks of cocaine for it to become a thing, I guess.

"Size of a nice rice ball" would have been more appropriate. Maybe if you tried flattening a 5 hour?

Yeah, I think something like 15 would be the perfect "fuck you" amount for something beyond Starbucks and fast food. Enough to make it worth going, but only really enough for an appetizer.

Or be really horrible and just take one of the 50 or 100 ones for a decent restaurant, and just don't get it activated. He won't find out until they try to run it, I think.

This might be the most horrible idea I've ever had.

Red bean anything is awesome.

But those are clearly baked beans.

Get some decent headphones and stop being a selfish jerk who might hurt people. You can transcend without driving a fucking car.

The best idea I have heard is to write letters to future self after certain difficult times that you go through with your parents as they age in order to remind your future self of the logical arguments against the most likely arguments of your future self.

The most persuasive argument should be the person who you have picked to give you the letter, and that fact should feature prominently in the letter.

I can understand the allure of a tail. But if you make it a tail vs. wings, I'll take wings every time they can get me soaring through the air.

The above piece isn't trying to give a deep reason for your actions: that would be ridiculous. You have proved that true with your post.

What the post is trying to convey is how other people feel about your selfish "it feel good to me (sic)" invading their space and awareness.

Be a better one person than this. Do you realize how much noise pollution negatively affects the most vulnerable in our communities the most?

I absolutely understand listening to music loud: it can sound better. I use headphones while at home that ensure I can listen as loud as I like, WITHOUT BOTHERING ANOTHER FUCKING BEING.

Try to to process the actual content here, and find a way to enjoy your shit without annoying others.

You are not alone in this.

Please tell me this is what happened to Walt Disney.

Just... No.

Ugh, that's... Please, it can't be real.

And this last one is fucking beans. Of course.

All three are my spirit animals.

Maybe if they got really good at Queen or Elton John songs the British might rally? However, the gayness of these awesome performers may be a requirement. Not all Queens are gay?

Just imagine it a moment: King Charles performing Freddy Mercury at Live Aid, back in the stadium, one night only. Then he fades to black.

Did you meet the man of your dreams, and then meet his beautiful wife? little bitter giggle

The article does a good job of explaining why so many of us tuned out at around that time. Not just late night, but all sorts of media.

These are all good, but thank you for including The State! So hilarious.

Who are you to tell anyone how to spend their time? How they conceive of themselves in their minds (where they do feel good (hopefully) about who they are) does not match their physical bodies (which can feel alien and abhorrent to them). Feel humbled you have never experienced such a state of being, and let people rock on with they bad selves.

ETA: Apologies, I feel my lack of reading comprehension on this one deeply.

Especially since Nagasaki there has been a disinclination to trigger the kind of mass destruction that will occur with such a conflict.

Yes. As I said in the last post, go get your skin grafts. Spend the time and money trans people have to spend. What does anyone care?

First actual laugh of the day. Thank you!

And Marvin Gaye rules! He was probably just afraid of what his daddy might think.

Wow. All very well said. I'm sorry someone made you this informed on the subject.

But, but... That semi-colon should give anyone a nice little rest? Just sit there, looking at it until you are ready to go on. Just a sweet little pause to marinate at. Oh, yeah, alright, I'm feeling it now!

Or, if after a bit of a wait you still don't want to ingest more of those words, then just move on if it is not necessary to your livelihood.
