I’m glad he’s your ex. At least you’ve gotten that far.

Your mental health is important, too. It’s not worth it to burn yourself out. If that means you have to make a hard choice, then so be it.

While still a major cause for concern, I’m glad my first assumption was wrong - that the bottles were made of some horrible, poisonous material.

Huh. “A form of extreme self harm…” I never looked at it that way, but Anon is completely right.

Seoul is so close to the border, it’s within artillery range of NK. Kim can cause all kinds of havoc without resorting to nukes. If provoked enough, he could put one (or more) craters in South Korea’s largest city, without even playing his scariest card.

Then there’s the possibility of a military response from China. Nobody wants to be on the receiving end of that.

Lastly, NK has been under all kinds of sanctions for years. It might not be the “anything” you have in mind, but many nations seem to be doing about as much as they can without risking all-out war.

Any website that insists on emailing you a login link rather than just using a password. Then they treat it like a positive and say “no more passwords!” Fuck you.

The sanitation issues that happened at Chipotle in such quick succession a few years ago were corporate sabotage. At the time, Chipotle was the fastest growing chain in the U.S.

Now I’m hearing the title in the Get Smart guy’s voice

This is beside your very well made point, but: I avoid using the word “deplorable” specifically because of the connotation Hillary gave it.

I have a friend who accidentally killed his much-loved dog because he’d only intended to be gone for five minutes. He ended up getting distracted and was away from the car for over an hour. By then, the dog was dead. That was years ago, but it’ll always be heartbreaking.

Well, now I know where to go if I ever want the opinion of a racist asshole billionaire. That’ll probably never happen, but I’ll make a mental note.

This is cruel corporate greed. Shit like this is why regulations have to exist.

 

I was expecting it to be just another post-apocalyptic drama, and I’ve seen so many mediocre ones that Station 11 wasn’t high on my list. I was very wrong.

Station 11 was well written, well cast, and interesting (if confusing at times).

 

Just about everyone looks better when they smile. It’s true regardless of gender. I don’t see where sexism enters the equation.

I feel pretty oblivious. What am I missing?

 

Ever have one of those close conversations with some, and walk away thinking “yeh… I’m a good guy” (or whatever pronoun you choose, of course). I just had that happen. It’s a nice, reassuring feeling.

 

Is it because of the instance they’re posting from, some kind of “award”, or what?
