Wow, what a bunch of crap.

Honestly, to me it’s closer to the opposite. If my wife left me for a woman, it would mean that she was more interested in being with women (or, at least, that woman), and there wasn’t a lot I could do as a man. If she left me for another man, that would mean that she was interested in men and found me lacking.

Your logic just looks like insecurity and homophobia.

The “tepid” reaction is because there’s zero surprise here. A giant swath of the maga base is made up of white supremacists, and I don’t think there’s even debate about that. Lots of people voted for Trump specifically because he said he’d do mass deportations, get rid of LGBTQ protections, etc. We’ve literally been screaming that people were voting for a bunch of Nazis. So now, on inauguration day, someone gets up and does a Nazi salute - what do you want us to say?

And as for “now what,” the best we can do is fight where we can and make sure the mid terms are different, though after this last election my hopes are low. People knew what they were voting for, and he didn’t win by cheating. It’s gross, but that’s where we are.

It’s a great series, but was one of the things that spurred me to get a digital library card; I was spending so much money on books. That’s worked out great.

As a more than triple adult, I can say it for sure isn’t linear.

It’s often a sign that the person is overweight.

It was just pot

My first thought was “How is this a boomer thing, I see people of all ages doing this.”

Yes, because you’ll be too busy being infuriated by badly designed user interfaces that you realize could have so easily been better.

I didn’t think so? When I say Iris, I mean the colored ring. When I say pupil, I mean the hole. When I say asshole, I mean the ring, not the hole. I can’t remember ever wanting to refer to the actual hole. Maybe “gape?”

The phrase “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” comes from this. If someone gives you a horse, you shouldn’t look into its mouth to see how old it is because, hey, free horse.

Except don’t we usually mean the sphincter itself when we say asshole?

Pretty good number of them if you count things like intermission. Slit, slot, crack, aperture, interlude, gap, breach, etc. Others, too.

Yeah, some things I don’t buy online because I want to hold it in my hand before I decide. Makes it tough when they’re locked up or bolted down.

The box is a name brand cereal. The bag is a copycat store brand cereal that’s cheaper.

That’s funny, and good on you for not being intimidated into being rushed or leaving. If they want to lock the stuff up, they should deal with the impact.

Most likely another fake one, by the way.

My wife and I have been paying attention to which companies are making significant donations to conservatives, and have been avoiding doing business with them, but now it’s getting tough as everyone is expected to kiss the ring. It’s about to the point where it might be easier to make a list of companies that haven’t.

Just recently, my wife wanted an eyebrow pencil, so we popped into a drugstore. All the makeup stuff was behind locked cabinets. We just turned around and went to a different store.

It seems like a particularly bad idea for anything that people might want to look at different versions of. If I wanted AA batteries that were locked, I might be okay saying, “Hey, can you grab me the batteries?” But for something that I want to look through the options, I’m not going to do that with the employee standing there tapping their foot.

Some years ago I started reading in bed before going to sleep. Pretty much always, I’m reading a book on my tablet. Now I find that the habit/routine of it helps me go to sleep.

The exception is when the book is so engrossing that I have a hard time putting it down and end up staying awake longer than I should.

Aside from being a cool looking pic, I think it’s because of what’s in it. From the article:

In this image, one can see the core of the Milky Way galaxy, zodiacal light (sunlight diffused by interplanetary dust), streaks of SpaceX Starlink satellites, individual stars, an edge-on view of the atmosphere that appears in burnt umber due to hydroxide emissions, a near-sunrise just over the horizon, and nighttime cities appearing as streaks.
