IBroadcast is filling that “good service” niche. Upload your own music and stream it anywhere, ad-free.

No, it’s the symbol for a pound weight. Like: Apples, 5#/$2

Any tool, in human hands, will be used for evil. The problem is humans.

Don’t even joke about that. Things would get a lot worse very quickly.

Sure, but she just says “stonefruits”, not any specific one. shrug

No, that’s it. But it’s every single wine she tastes. They don’t all have stonefruit notes!

How cosmopolitan!

Right now, “demure”.

My boss, specifically: “stonefruit”.

Do you percolate your coffee?

With the caveat that I end up a mill in debt if I slip up? Nope. I know I’d slip up. The risk / reward ratio isn’t good enough.

A mill isn’t that much money to have, but it’s a lot of money to owe. No deal.

There is not that amount of money. I could not make that deal.

Was it a r/nosleep story?

Not Taco Bell, for starters.

In Christianity it’s definitely Easter and Holy Week in general. After that, Christmas, Pentecost, Ash Wednesday, and All Saints. I would argue that theologically Christmas should be lower in priority, but culturally it’s very important.

I once sneezed so hard while lying down that my sock flew off.

Like you, I use a handkerchief. If I’m wearing a T, I might instead lift up the collar and sneeze down the front of my shirt. More gross for me but more hygienic for everyone else around. The third option is to drop into a crouch and sneeze into my elbow between my knees, funnelling it towards the floor.

I would rather do one big sneeze than lots of little sneezes, though.

Okay, so, first, none of us are biologically masculine or feminine, because those aren’t biological concepts, they’re social ones.

People who are biologically male tend to be assigned masculinity, and same with females and femininity. And just because something is socially constructed doesn’t mean it is not important — as a million memes will tell you, we live in a society.

I think the heart of the issue is who assigned the gender roles: The gender role you want to assign me isn’t important; the gender role I assign myself IS.

Seconding this book. It’s one of the best books I’ve read this decade.

Had that at U of Chicago in the early aughts.
