Don’t forget to use your paper straw!
  • Right?? Private jet or no private jet, I would jump at the chance to just decree from on high that corporate HQ was now virtual. Like why make that much money and still enslave yourself to a commute?

  • Maybe we should all be calling him Terry.
  • Yeah I'm trans and my wife is a cis lady and neither of our current legal names are our birth name. No one's used my birth name for at least a decade but when we visit my in-laws I'm the only one who doesn't call her by hers. Always amuses me when I stop to think about it.

  • I enjoyed it, granted it was also one of the few movies I've been able to see in theater since my son was born so that might have skewed my perspective. It wasn't high art but it was a solid film with some great set pieces. Really only tangentially related to the story but I think that was for the best, as the story relies a little too heavily on the sheer unlikeability of the David Dasmalchian (sp?) character.

    Re-installing a wall-to-wall closet

    We're moving into a condo where the previous owners removed a wall-to-wall closet that used to be in the second bedroom. We need the storage space so I'm planning on reinstalling it, but the articles and plans I've found so far are not very helpful. Everything I see has a lot of complex wall framing with hanging double doors, but I literally just want a small space with sliding doors, like the unit used to have. How much more complicated do I truly need to get than installing some tracks for sliding doors with a few hang bars and shelves behind them? Is there a particular disadvantage to doing things that way vs. how Google seems to want me to (besides babyproofing)?

  • I made it to the clinic roughly on time despite a sick wife and baby, and there's only one person at reception who's taking five years to solve one client's issue.

    Actually there's two but they're both working on the same problem. And I'm not even the first person in line.

  • Yup
  • I think my landlord sees us as people, he's just fundamentally incapable of understanding what it means to live in a lower income bracket. He's selling the house we live in and seemed genuinely confused why we, as a single earner household paying significantly below market rent, would be worried because "there's only a few situations where they can kick you out". Yes and if they invoke one, which they will because we're a bad investment, we're SCREWED.

    Meanwhile he thinks he's being generous by listing for below appraisal when it's still at least double what he paid a couple years ago. Just living on a totally different planet.

  • Public marriage proposals aren’t romantic – they’re a form of coercion
  • I proposed publicly to my wife but a) I knew she wanted to get married, b) I am super reserved usually so doing it publicly was more meaningful because it was more difficult, and I think most crucially c) I didn't film it for the socials. There's definitely a genre of public proposal that's super cringey but it's not really fair to paint them all with the same brush.

  • can i hide entire instance from /all feed
  • The Connect app allows you to filter out an instance, but it also hides comments from any users logged in to that instance. Which cam be a bit distracting, though all you have to do is press a button to reveal them.

  • What happened in Noah’s tent?
  • I definitely lean to the interpretation of incest. One thing I've learned from listening to theologians is that the language of the Bible is extremely deliberate, as well as highly self-referential. The fact that the phrase "the nakedness of his father" is used makes it almost certain that the reader is expected to take note of its appearance elsewhere in the Torah, and use that context to interpret the Genesis passage. Canaan is very likely a child of incest, just like other rivals of the Israelites are depicted as children of incest through Lot and his daughters.

  • Can I block an entire instance instead of just individual boards?

    I've been blocking individual points boards from All but the vast majority are hosted on a specific NSFW instance. Is there a way to just block everything from that instance instead?

  • I grabbed the Batman pack off the Steam sale - Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight. I had played Asylum on PS3 way back when but got stuck on one of the late game fights and never went back to it. Very fun, I'm a pretty casual gamer and it's good at making me feel capable even when I'm just doing average. Almost done Asylum and looking forward to getting into the other two.
