If there are 4 people at a table, and one of them is a nazi, and the other 3 people don't leave the table, then there are 4 nazis at the table. Complacency is complicity.

The fact that he was a major plot point for the RedShirts book is one of my favorite things about that book. (Or rather, his "legally different because of copyright" Irish equivalent)

automatic response, same as when someone says "how's it going" to a cashier, and the person responds "good". this interaction rarely means anything other than formality. The person asking doesn't usually want to know, and the person responding doesn't usually want to tell

I chose engineering, and when I started I loved it, but eventually I ended up working in places I didn't like, on jobs that made me feel dirty, but now I don't know any other way to maintain the lifestyle I'm accustomed to.

I feel like there's a collision of fetishes here about to start paying for your yarn habit.

Buy a laser printer. They've come down in price a ton and are so so so so so so so so so so much better than fucking ink jet printers. I'll never go back, and regret the years of anger and stress they caused me.

While I agree that hotels are generally better than Airbnb, I have always had really good luck with Airbnb. I traveled across the EU staying almost only in Airbnb's and it was great. It also let me kind of see what the housing market was there if I ever wanted to move.

Plus she had an old orange cat that liked to sit at the breakfast table with us.
