So this probably doesn’t help (except to back other people’s experiences), but there was an asian massage place across from the place I got oil changes and tire swap/rotations (as stud to normal and back). I went there a couple times (first was weird about tipping, but I figured it was a communication issue), got comfortable with it, and the third time the lady put her hand on my junk and just raised her eyebrows. I slowly shook my head, and she went back to a regular massage. That was the last time I went there.

My wife was actually super upset. Not at me, but for me, saying I had been sexually assaulted. I had to explain that while technically that might be true, I was not in a position of vulnerability, she was just doing her thing (and I was clearly in the wrong place), and I get to define my own experience.

I like combination jokes:

What’s brown and sticky?

What’s brown and rhymes with snoop?

Or:

What do you call a cow with three legs?

What do you call a cow with no legs?

What do you call a cow with two legs?

Where’s my two dolllllllllarrrrrrrrs?

Mazda Miada with gatlings. Going for that glass cannon role.

I got a Henson single blade years ago and I’m still on my first box (of 100) blades. It’s delightful.

I want one to make the normal sound, but whenever you put it in park it moves to the Party Rock Anthem. Only the first little bit until they yell “Party Rock!” And then gets quiet.

Since there’s a long intro, it’s at about 1:38 the song starts, ignore the drums.

Additionally, small claims for individual sets or groups of sets totalling less than $20k. It would also mean dragging them into court repeatedly. And with the documents they have it should be a slam-dunk each time.

I also think you missed the biggest thing (to me), which was the absolute, unmitigated corruption of the American Fork (Utah) police department, who acted like hired goons for the B&M guy and harassed a guy trying to collect for the Lego owner.

To me, it was a civil dispute that should have been handled by lawyers long before (or small claims court) right up until those Utah police were involved.

Am I Evil - Metallica, originally by Diamond Head

Somebody that I used to know - Walk Off the Earth, originally by Gotye

Common People - William Shatner and Ben Folds, originally by Pulp.

The first because Metallica was just SO much cleaner, second because I thought the song was trash until I heard it by somebody who didn’t mumble through the whole thing, the third… well the Shatner one isn’t exactly good, but it’s at least entertaining, which is more than can be said for the original.

Millenials are GenY. Confused the hell out of me for awhile until I realized we were the ones people were talking about.

There’s three that I consistently have people who grew up at the same time don’t remember:

Denver the Last Dinosaur

Mighty Max

Exosquad.

Exosquad I watched religiously, and I don’t think they ever finished it. Mighty Max was on every day before I went to school, so it was my breakfast watch.

On an episode of a hospital-based show, a little girl (like, 8 or 10) drowns in a pool and effort to resuscitate fail. That didn’t get me, even with the parents crying. The girl has a sister, who is making a card for the girl who has already been declared dead. Sad, but didn’t get me. Sister explains that the girl died saving her, since she fell in the neighbor’s pool trying to get a ball, and the sister jumped in, pushed the sister out, and then couldn’t get out herself, and eventually drowned.

And I got slammed with a real-life memory. I work in Search and Rescue, and one case my station had over a decade ago was a pair of children that got swept out to sea. Only the younger brother survived. Because the sister spent the whole time keeping him above water, and ended up exhausting and drowning herself. I try not to think about it, because it fucks me up really bad, and especially because now I have a daughter and a younger son. That scene dredged that up real hard, real fast.

In English, orange is essentiall “orange red,” as in “red like an orange.” Prior to oranges making their way to Europe, the color we refer to as “orange” was red, or yellow-red. Hence people with orange hair being called “red-heads.”

Neither of those articles supports what you are saying. The first one, about sexual assault, says in big, bold letters that men are less likely to report sexual assault. The argument was not that more violence is committed against men (sexual assaults at the very least are obviously not), it’s that men are less likely to report it when it happens, which is exactly what your article said. It also said women under-report. But just because women also under-report doesn’t mean they under-report at a higher rate than men.

If I had the choice of the Yaris or another car, I would choose the other car. Because driving that car would make me at least low-level angry for the time I had it.

Interesting that allowing women to vote created a situation where women felt it less absolutely necessary to get married. Because after a while, their voice had to be considered when discussing bills like prohibiting banks from refusing bank accounts, home loans, and credit cards to women.

The Yaris ads did this to me. I got so pissed off by their “It’s a car” commercials that I absolutely despised the product.

For every state that is below Alaska…

Have you seen Alaska? Have you spent time there? Alaska is crazy dangerous! How bad must your healthcare be that the constant threat of the entire environment being against you doesn’t win out for short life expectancy?!

And Mississippi, just… be better.

I get what you are saying, but that’s not the way to do it.

“What about male genital mutilation?”

“We should ban all mutilation of genitals of children. It is barbaric. Some more than others, but it’s all bad.”

If all you do is respond with essentially “what about this other thing that this particular article isn’t talking about,” it derails the conversation of the current article. Saying that all aspects of the subject if the article are bad and have no place in society says “I agree with this, and let’s extend it further.”
