You seem to think DEI is when employers have to meet a diversity quota, when in reality, it upholds laws stating employers can’t make any hiring decisions based on race or any other such demographic.

Like grass between your thumbs, it buzzes while you sail ass over head

I’m often reminded of my Geo Tracker and think “I can fix him”. It just wasn’t the right time to have a rusted-out, holey-framed, bad-on-the-highway vehicle with basically neither cargo nor passenger capacity. But there’s something special and forgotten about having a Miata-length vehicle of any kind.

The best years for music are [birthyear + 12] until maaaybe [birthyear + 18] but I’d certainly listen to your points about extending that up to [birthyear + 25] because that’s when [band #5] came from behind and pulled to the lead after [band #2] and [band #4] broke up. Glad to hear you had the same experience

Music certainly does. Probably the main emotional cause, followed by staying out too late while stargazing and getting spooked by casual bumps in the night.

A good scream or a sustained wail will do it. Do you like metal? Lacuna Coil - Sleep Paralysis comes to mind.

I want to clarify that I’m straight up accepting the physiology and, separately, wanted to spread the bat explanation!

10/10 would be tricked, just to see how the wings attach.

General reminder that bats, being mammals, have similar bone layout to other mammals, including humans. The wings are arms, the ribs are fingers. Bats fly by the power of vigorous jazz hands

Wheel coverings are required with a maximum exposure limit. The body usually does the job. Look to the 2022 Jag F-type and F-pace for little spats in the upper rear of the rear wheel arch for hidden compliancy.

Those are made up shapes, too.

No different than Lady Gaga’s method which I feel took off a little sooner. The pop funds the art. I appreciate Swift’s singing ability, but I enjoy Gaga’s range when she makes her actual music. The theatrics, peaking with the meat suit? Just marketing to make her name the name to invite.

I can’t think of ever buying something very expensive in raw monies, but I did once pay £2 for an olive. An £8 plate for 4 kalamata olives split 4 ways. They were ricotta stuffed and fried. It was exceptionally tasty, but we did not expect such a wild price ratio for an otherwise affordable place.

"Yes, but have you considered the fact that she is a woman, women enjoy her music, and women enjoying things is a problem because they’re wrong? It’s like you don’t even have a vendetta against pumpkin spice! " - general underlying factor

“her music is not deep” - the opinion of men whose only exposure to her music is the pop songs that gets airtime, not the lyrical depths of the rest of the album that directly hits women in the feels

They’re rare. When you see many identical houses in a neighborhood, it means one contractor developed the whole group. Usually through deforestation to expand the suburbs. They are still fabricated on site, not delivered/assembled

Aw man. I’m guessing the main thing with DGD from brief reading is Tillian Pearson being a rapist (or just rapey?). I’m not big into DGD but I’m sad to learn the one song in my rotation is one of his. 2013-2024 membership

I’ll tack on that the singer of Highly Suspect (Johnny Stevens) was a low blow to me. I liked his voice and bluesy hard rock sound. I guess he’s not rapey-bad, but seems pretty emotionally abusive to women. I found the group while I was in a sad time and the lyrics felt right, but now, in light of his twitter blowups, the lyrics feel so one-sided. He thinks they’d happily drive each other to suicide, she thinks it was just him. Fucked up part to me, the reveal happened before releasing Champagne At Our Funeral

Did it lower from 2/3+1 to 2/3 flat or is this math a perfect 5/7?

They had a kid together. That kid’s name? Also Betel-

Things are funny because they’re unexpected. When you’re tired, your brain does a worse job of predicting things. Suddenly everything is unpredictable and likely to be funny

There’s no clear origin to the name. Both tales on Wikipedia refer to using a screwdriver to stir the drink at work.

Maybe I have bad digital attention span but whether it’s educational books or documents at work, I’m much better at retaining and locating information in paper. The physical register of the document location, location of information within the document, and location on the page gives me a fuller memory of the info.
