<> was standard when I was learning math in junior high.

The meat slicer says “We’re gonna take our time.”

If “shire reeves” are sheriffs, then “coral reeves” should be “coriffs”.

I’m also old, and often confused, but less about this one, because of personal experience.

The world is shifting quickly away from “almost everyone adheres to gender norms” to “what’s wrong with people being perceived the way they’d like to be?”

It’s about individual expression of self. The bits and bobs that people have under their clothes may have zero correlation with what their traditionally recognized appearance is.

If someone is lost or a threat, it makes more sense to look for them based on how they present themselves in public, and not how they look naked. (Which can be ambiguous, too.)

Your recognizing your own confusion is a good thing. It means that you are aware that there are still things you need to learn. You’re all right.

That last bit is the important part.

Conventional? God dammit, I fucking did it again.

If you’re going out tomorrow, it would be a wonderful day to treat yourself to some boutique sodas in glass bottles.

If there’s anything I’ve learned in the last few years, it’s that nothing has to make any sense.

“I was the cockroach all along?”

When someone disagrees with you, you have the opportunity to more clearly define what you think. This might mean changing your mind to a greater or lesser degree; it could mean understanding more completely why you hold the view you already have. If the votes show that a lot of people disagree with you, well, conventional wisdom is often enough not very wise.

In my experience, fediverse people have been more reasonable than reddit people - but you’re going to find petulant children on any public forum.

Kind of like when everyone went “We’re all for exploiting and enslaving people, but for fuck’s sake, Columbus.”

I appreciate your kind regards, but she is not.

I regret to inform you that this is not a meme.

We should cut Jeff Bezos in half just to make sure.

Nazis gonna Naz.

Capitalism has entered the chat

Let’s also not forget that it’s been California’s stringent regulations on lots of things that have dragged the rest of the country forward against the will of corporations.
