What is ‘advanced spell check’ anyway? A double red line goes under the words you really spell the wrong way?

Penis-possessor here, so I am obviously an expert: I only ever have it happen to me at the sink or when it’s someone I know like a co-worker (I hate it when that happens).

I mean… they’re right. It’s just that it’s also true for men.

The idea that women only like strong, muscular men is a big trope that has been around for a long time. Hence these covers.

True, but that doesn’t invalidate jokes at the expense of a movie he was in.

My favorite thing about Star Trek- and I do like Star Wars, but this is where I think you may not like Star Trek if you like Star Wars- is that they (generally) try talking things out before using their weapons. I like to dream that we will eventually become a society where violence is not our first reaction to the unknown.

My daughter likes going to cons just to look at the cosplay and she never buys anything, so I guess they only conned her out of the entry fee.

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

And if you score 51 you pass, so 51 is the passing temperature.

Thankfully they’re hipster now, so you can get high quality, deep cut records for just about any album

Yeah, but super expensive. My daughter loves vinyl, but we never buy anything new because you’re going to spend at least $30 for anything decent.

Adjusted for inflation, maybe. But records used to be cheaper than CDs.

I do lament some old things while at the same time being happy things have changed.

I do miss not being expected to have my phone with me all the time - but I’m also happy that I can contact my teenage daughter wherever she is.

I do miss the era of physical media, especially video stores - but I also like being able to download any media I like (arr!) and have a lot of it streaming too, and fitting all of it into a tiny amount of space.

I do miss my old tiny 1980s manual Toyota Corrola - but I also like only spending a fraction of my paycheck on gas because I drive a Prius now. And I certainly don’t miss leaded gasoline.

I do miss the internet of the 1990s when it was more like the Wild West - but I also like things like adblockers and anti-tracking extensions and not having to clean your cookies regularly.

I’m sure I could think of others, but these are off the top of my head.

There were a ton of ads though. And you couldn’t block them.

Oh, oh, I see, running away then. You yellow bastard! Come back here and take what’s coming to you. I’ll bite your legs off!

Between having to wear the mask and the noise, I imagine I would have many bad nights of sleep until I got used to it. Probably would make working a real challenge.
