Getting my bachelor's online, and I just had to use Chicago style for the first time. I'd only used APA before now.

Holy shit did I love it. Erhmhagerd, it was so great.

This is, I guess, the yank equivalent of the four Yorkshire men. Haha

Thanks, I hate it!

God, imagine a vacation company whose entire schtick is that they will screen your calls, provide you cocoa, warm snuggly blankets, and private beds, babysit the kids, and provide a convincing doctors note for work. You go there, and you just nap and Netflix for a weekend.

Honestly, the solution to this, I think, is to start complimenting other men. Men don't compliment each other because they're afraid of being seen as gay (even if they're not aware of it, it's fully ingrained into us from the time we're children). Breaking that barrier and complimenting other men, and not (openly) caring about that stigma will help other men do the same. Eventually, men will start complimenting each other.

Note, I say this as a gay man, so I'm sort of past the whole humiliation of people thinking I'm gay bit. I understand it would likely be more difficult for a straight guy, because you (they?) have to also worry about losing potential romantic partners if people think you're queer.

Well, as we've established, I have a hard time saying no. So, sure! Lol.

I hate stereotypes like this. I have all of these, and you're not going to make me pigeon hole myself into choosing one!

Some of the things about the future sure are weird. Bedazzled pillows, square pillows made of what appear to be cloth covered steel, forks that are either 3 huge thick prongs, or 4 needle like prongs that I'd be terrified to have coming at my face, and jumpsuits. Why does everyone wear a jumpsuit? Does no one have to pee in the future‽ And they're all made of spandex! The poor camera operators had to play hell when Wheaton was on the show, because one bad angle and suddenly the FBI would be knocking on the door for showing underage bulge. I love star trek to death, but I don't necessarily need to know exactly what each characters ass crack looks like, y'know?

Yes. Jesus, why can't Europeans educate themselves on real measurements! We measure in feet and bald eagles for distance. We measure in shotgun shells, elbows and pounds for weight. We measure in ATNT for temperature. That's Ambient Truck Nut Temperature, which is the temperature of a pair of truck nuts after driving for 80 bald eagles at 40 bald eagles per Active Shooter Warning, at sea level on a Wednesday. It's not complicated.
