Iirc, they address both the knee thing and the clothes in the books. Skin tight clothing morphs with you, and I distinctly remember one conversation about the knees thing, but I couldn’t tell you which book it was (though, my buddy Goom probably can)

For about 10 years now my phone has been on do not disturb. Not just while I’m driving, but just always. The only exception to the DND is my mom, who until about a month ago when she passed, I was caregiving for, and genuinely needed to be able to get her calls regardless of what was going on. I don’t get notifications for anything, and I don’t see calls when they’re actually happening. Need me, send a text and I’ll see the little thing in the notification shade maybe. Lol.

Because I’m not caregiving for my mom anymore, I’m on the job hunt and have had to turn do not disturb off so if I get a call for an interview I can answer it. I hate it so much. Constant scam/spam calls, telemarketers, et cetera. It suuuucks. Obviously, it’s not the worst thing about all this, but it certainly doesn’t help matters

Like with most shows brought over from the UK, the us version lost a lot of it’s soul, but it builds it back up over the course of the first season. It can be a little silly sometimes, and it’s definitely it’s own little creature by now, but it’s actually pretty good. My mom loved it before she passed, and I quite like it.

You have no downvote on this comment (that I can see, anyway) and the urge to downvote it just for the hahas was quite strong. I won’t, because people apparently care about that stuff, but I just wanted to share that I used will power this night

If Mario ever drops into the public domain, you could make a fortune on this.

Write the movie now and wait. The day it hits public domain you’ll be ready.

“being aware of, and able to accurately diagnose the type of mental illness you’re dealing with is not the same thing as actually working to fix it”

And

“That’s bullshit. Honestly. That’s bullshit. Just because you can articulately attempt to justify it doesn’t mean it’s justified”

Also

“Sometimes things just suck and you have to deal with that for a long time”

Once told a boss “with all due respect, and I do mean all the respect you’re actually due in this moment, I won’t be doing that”

Most of the dudes I’ve let inside me have been clowns

This is the only correct form. Until this very moment I have almost always fallen on the descriptivist side of things, but this is now the prescriptivist hill I will die on.

I’m imagining it like some sort of vaudeville slapstick skit, wherein the doctor just keeps pulling things out, starting like dice and a neckerchief, and ending with an entire clown car full of clowns

My first instinct was to hate you for this.

Then I realized I could send it to so many people, and I became the monster I feared most.

I’m 34. I don’t think I need to schedule one yet, I’m not particularly high risk family history-wise. But I’m worried about scheduling it when the time comes.

That doctor gonna know I’m a bottom, and that’s gonna be embarrassing.

Had to Google that. In my day we would have called it the Masturbatorium

Neither a programmer nor from California. I’m a rare southern red

Write, travel

My mom and I watched every single episode of this when it was airing. Always got so irritated when stupid football games ran late and messed with our show.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch it now that she’s not here to watch it with, but I’m excited for a spin off all the same.

I think all mythology is weird AF, but Hindu folk tales and mythos are definitely some of my favorites.

Yeah, guess Shiva isn’t a big fan of being told no. But at least he found him a cool head to replace it.

So a real nyt letterboxed puzzle is always solvable in a words, but they give you a number to get under depending on how hard the game is that night. Generally it says to solve in 4 words. After we got our two solve (every night we made sure to solve in 2), we would use the board to make funny sentences. We spent hours playing this game each week. Sometimes hours in a single night just having fun writing out silly things.

This is likely not solvable in 2 words, though I haven’t tried. Instead it spells out my mom’s name (Tina Marie), and in another way, it spells out the first funny sentence my mom ever got with a particular reoccurring character named PomPom (PomPom mop popcorn, not turnips!). She and I laughed for so long over that. Made up a whole backstory of this chick PomPom who works at a movie theater and rage quits one day because they have this rocky horror style cult movie showing, and when she comes in to clean up the audience has just thrown fucking turnips everywhere, and PomPom is like “fuck this! PomPom mop popcorn! Not turnips! I’m done with this shit!”

So normally it’s a game you solve with two words, but what we always did was once our two solve was over, we would make funny sentences.

This spells my mom’s name, but it also spells “PomPom mop popcorn not turnips” which was one of our sentences, and the very first sentence involving the recurring (and frequently angry) character of PomPom
