Were you guys eating coffee grounds in your 5th grade science class? Your next teacher either hated it because you guys were bouncing off the walls or loved it because you were all wide awake and paying attention.


Our cat has been trying to kill us for 21 years. He wasn’t feeling well recently, but after a vet visit and meds, I knew he was feeling better as soon as he darted across my path and I almost tripped.


I’m a woman, and what bothers me is when the woman is not believable in that role. Men are generally stronger than women – that’s just a fact. But some women are exceptionally strong and trained in combat. If you’re going to cast someone in a role that’s supposed to show us a strong woman, then for fuck’s sake, she’d better be a strong woman, not a gorgeous woman who just looks great in a tank top and a sheen of sweat. It’s obvious she would be easily overpowered by any of her male opponents, but we’re supposed to believe that she’s kicking all their asses.

Someone else suggested Alien would be accused of wokeness had it been released today. I don’t think so. Ripley was just a regular, somewhat fit woman, and the things she did were believable for someone with her physique and level of training. That’s why that movie works.


I’m terrified of going into lakes and rivers because of what might find its way into my skin.


You must not have seen my reply in that thread:

My husband and I both have been using Tempur-Pedic office chairs for about 15 years. Starting in 2004, we both worked desk jobs from home (he still does, I only recently shifted careers) and both play video games so we have used the shit out of our chairs, and they are still good. I like that the seat is wide enough so I can fold my legs up under me if I want to.
