Ah, the panic of having to use the bathroom so severely you can’t make it to your book or magazine in time. Oh look, I wonder what Methyllaurelsulfate does?

I always thought the bathroom reader books were tacky and stupid, then a I got a couple and they came in clutch so many times.

Now that I have a phone, I think it’s kinda gross to have items out for everyone to touch while using the toilet. Weird how perception changes.

Tangentially, isn’t the phrase, “WITH abandon,” to mean unchecked, or unrestrained?

Anachronox. Ion Storm at it’s best. Engaging plot and characters, humor well ahead of its time for a game script, and party members and environments that I’ve still never seen many games match to this day. I don’t know why it didn’t become huge, I think the rpg crowd back then was still pretty married to sword and sandal conventions. If you like old games, I can’t recommend it enough.

Obligatory: Uncle Tom was actually a good guy. The idea that he was some kind of traitor or such comes from a crappy adaptation of the book. In the actual book he dies to save some other slaves.

“Rock the vote”?

1. Happy Birthday!
2. They’re great. You’ll be surprised how often you’ll run to check it after seeing the generic weather and compare them. Mine also isn’t in the right place for the wind, but it gets enough I can pretty confidently multiply by a percentage to get the real number. I hope you find yours as interesting as I do.

I think it’s important that you know that another human being on Lemmy got both sides of your joke. You earned my upvote.

Ga-lactic is where we get lactic!

Appreciate the informative response. Thanks!

Their Indigo cousins are pretty cool too:

Serious question, did you actually have / find that picture laying around or is that an AI image? No shade either way, it’s fantastic, I’m just always amazed that someone can find a perfect specific picture no matter where the conversation goes.

I’m actually almost impressed that it cites the Lord Mansfield decision of 1772, which effectively abolished slavery throughout the British Empire, and was foundational to the American Abolition movement. It makes a weird kind of sense.

Then again, are they saying they’re not beholden to the US government because they’re still working under imperial law? 🤔

'Cause that’s where I draw the line! 😡

Yes, but I find their uncovered legs disturbing. It’s like full body shots of Kermit, something ain’t right.

When I was in HS, back in the early 90s, my friend’s father worked for a 3 letter office, near the Fed Triangle. He got up at 4:30 am every morning to make it to the office by 6 to avoid the worst traffic. That was 30 years ago!

I think we’re saying the same thing. 🤔

Because those very same cops also have access to evidence. And within days every single female officer’s bathroom pics will be in the text messages of every male officer.

I grew up in NOVA. And while I agree with your assessment, you can’t in good faith sell someone on those benefits without also mentioning the miserable, never-ending traffic nightmare that exists 24 hours a day anywhere near the beltway. I’ve lived in Manhattan, Chicago in three different neighborhoods and of course the DC metro area. I just spent a week in Fairfax, and it is the worst traffic I’ve ever seen outside of Atlanta at rush hour. And in VA, it’s ALL THE TIME.

I have to agree, if the headline says, “Man dies after drinking Drano,” nobody is under the impression it was a coincidence.

“Ofc, Bender Bending Rodriguez is capable and willing to bend anything, including gender, but this wasn’t that episode”

Good save, you almost got one helluva nerd thrashing.

Sniff…maybe I should try to reconcile with my older brother… 😥
