I’m sure at least some of them are down for pound town.

I’ve never really understood gender segregated public bathrooms. We don’t segregate our bathrooms at home and it’s not like anyone watches anyone else.

I already share my banking details with people who hate me. Namely, the corporations, who I am told are people, that clearly hate me because they keep charging me more money to pay for the same services year after year.

It was a dick move like everything else. He hosted the national college football champs during a partial government shutdown, but rather than pay for some nice food from a third party for those champs, he figured that just being in his presence was reward enough, so enjoy your shitty fast food, boys.

In an explanation for the evening’s menu, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted, “The Democrats’ refusal to compromise on border security and reopen the government didn’t stop President Trump from hosting national champion @ClemsonFB tonight. He personally paid for the event to be catered by some of America’s great fast food joints.”

Though he told reporters that he had personally bought “300 hamburgers,” in a tweet the next morning that number had skyrocketed to “1000 hamberders [sic].” (Photos and videos of the scene show that the lower number is likely the more correct one.)

“1000 hamberders” would have cost him what, $3000 at most? When he flaunts how rich he is constantly? And then brags about it?

Dick move.

I would think so. The sooner you can get widgets shipped out, the sooner they get distributed. 5 am is earlier than 8 am.

It was trash long before that.

Discovery, History and TLC used to all show educational programming. TLC actually stands for The Learning Channel.

There absolutely are intrusive thoughts. Two examples:

Once in a long while, I’ll be talking to a black person and I’ll think of the N-word. It will just pop into my head for a split second and I’ll think “oh my god, no!” and it will be gone. I’ve never said that word out loud, I’ve never thought of anyone black that way, and I certainly don’t want to think of anyone that way. It’s not a thought I meant to have or even a thought that would ever represent how I felt. It isn’t even a thought that is pointed with malice at the person I was talking to. It’s literally just “N-word” and it’s gone. It’s purely unconscious and intrusive racism that I think is just part of being white.

Every so often, I’ll be talking to a couple I know and imagine them fucking. Just for a split second again. I don’t want to imagine them fucking. It’s not titillating to me. I don’t get a rise out of it. I don’t fantasize about it later. But just for a moment, I imagine what it would be like if my perceptive versions of them fucked. We won’t even be talking about anything remotely sexual. But sex is part of the human condition and sometimes we have unconscious, intrusive thoughts about sex.

I don’t think either of these will lead me to murder. In fact, in general, I don’t have violent thoughts, not even intrusive ones. But it could lead me to other atrocious behavior if I dwell on those thoughts and if I let them become more than momentarily intrusive. It’s not being afraid of thinking them, it’s not wanting to think of them and doing my best to will any such thoughts that stray out of my head as quickly as I can. Because those thoughts are not thoughts I want to have about people. I don’t care if I don’t act on them either. I don’t want to think that about any black people I ever encounter in my life. I don’t want to think that about any couples who I know. But sometimes those thoughts just pop into my head and I can’t help it. But I can help moving past them as fast as I possibly can so they don’t end up accumulating and turning me into a person I don’t want to be.

That’s how he taught Nog the joy of reading.

You can’t 3D print laying all the pipe and the electric cabling and adding fixtures and insulation and all sorts of other things homes need.

You can 3D print the basic structure. That’s it. You’re saving on bricklaying or carpentry.

Congratulations, someone has figured out that science fiction is often a commentary on contemporary society.

My dog would do it. She’s evil. She has murdered many small animals and then uses their corpses as toys before eating parts of them and leaving the rest to rot.

She once found a nest of baby bunnies in the yard and slurped them all up like spaghetti as we watched in horror.

We love her, but she’s very definitely evil.

I can’t understand white someone would do it either.

On the one hand, that might work. On the other hand, who gives a fuck about the rules in a contest with arbitrary standards?
