    Well, it's not like they can stop you, right? The pen is mightier than the sword, after all. ;)

    TMW you're getting all chuffed with yourself because some random pastry chef or restauranteur from New York or San Francisco Liked the homemade food photo you posted on Instagram--- and you're forced to admit what an elitist snob you really are.

    That moment when you go into the kitchen to wash up your bowl and your dad's sandals are soaking in the sink.

    TMW you say you're a liberal in a political discussion and Lucretia, a poster goes on a tirade:


    So you respond with:

    Now let's see how he'll twist it to where I'm the big bad guy out to hurt him because I have a different opinion. And yes, Lucretia is a man.

    To be honest he sounds like an arsehole, so its hard to see why anyone would want to be 'one of them' anyway - i'd put him/them on ignore and move on

    TMW you are reading a book about the zombie apocalypse (real realistic writing), and the team just managed to get on a helicopter, a literal horde of zombies hot on their heels ...

    ... and then a sound is approaching from far. A four bladed copter, with a deep engine noise like I've never heard before (and I know a whole lot of helicopter sounds) - coming nearer, nearer, the sound's getting deeper, it's flying real low, yeah, lower than low, the walls of my living room (I lean with my book against the wall) begin to reverberate ...

    ... and it passes by.

    :supermad::superwhew:

    edit: I've searched around, the closest sound I've found on youtube (yeah, I know!) was from a chinook.

    Lucretia Borgia? He's got the poison thing down, that's for sure.

    That's probably the most likely to be flying around low where you are anyway - they are practicing terrain flying and low level for troop insertion/exfil , we get them round here too, sometimes accompanied by apaches.

    Yeah, about what I figured. They were real slow anyway - but where I live its pretty flat. About gave me heart failure :D Still not completely recovered from my zombie tale. I predict I'll dream tonight..

    If its slow to approach / go away the other possibility is a police heli flying a search pattern/ hovering - various different makes are employed but the most common type in the UK is the Airbus (previously Eurocopter) H135 which is twin engined and four rotored

    TMW you finally get your driver's license. :-D

    FREEDOM!!!

    Also, scary. Darkness+ice+snow+pedestrians and cyclists who wear no reflectors = happy fun time experience!

    TMW you're searching the men's style pages to find out what shoes go with a linen suit, and you find a page which first decries the tendency of American men to wear athletic shoes with everything, yet then goes on to recommend canvas shoes such as Converse All Stars.

    Somebody needs a history lesson.

    The whole shoe market is a racket. Most people (hermits like myself) spend about 5-10 minutes a day between our cars and other enclosed, air conditioned, spaces. As long as you're not living in some ungodly place where people just aren't supposed to be (like where the wind hurts your face, why live somewhere the wind hurts your face?) all you need in life are flip flops, tee-shirts, and shorts. Maybe underwear if its a bit on the colder side.

    ETA

    TMW you go from your drama class last year, where the average age was 20ish, 4/1 female to male ratio to my novel writing class, where the average age is about 35, with a 1/6 female to male ratio.

    I'm starting to think one of the big conflicts in T.V. is that guys want to write the show, gals want to act in it, and they're on completely different pages.

    I put 21,388 steps on today, in a pair of leather-soled Allen Edmonds, and it's currently 8C (~46F).

    TMW you find yourself judging someone (of your own race, those worried I've suddenly become racist) to being a violent thug because he has the body structure of a stereotypical thug.

    Judging people for what they look like is a big no-no, correct? Whether it's race or some other physical attribute, it's still wrong.

    TMW you think you're being kind of an ass for judging.

    Well done!

    So I'm not the only one who didn't get her driver's license till she was in her twenties?

    (Late twenties, in my case. Absurd = me humping two weeks' worth of laundry up a steep hill on the back of a Schwinn bicycle.)

    And expensive? I just went through a hurricane of shoe-buying last summer/fall, and the shoes I bought should last forever.

    Which makes me really hope that I live that long or have the same tastes for quite a while.

    And I want to buy more...

    Thanks. :)
    All the license related costs will eventually amount close to € 2500-3000 so didn't have that kinda money when I was 18! So yeah, had to wait until now. But it's not that uncommon to enrol to the driving school until in your twenties. In fact, here in the capital city region, you can get by without a car quite easily.

    Good grief! I hope there is good public transport, or poor people couldn't afford to get around.

    I had a little wine and read that as Bill WIllis. I was thinking who the heck is Bill Willis and is he related to Bruce.

    TMW you're an extremely non confrontational person (some may even say too nice) and you have a little wine and decide to text this jerk you've been dealing with for the past year an in detail list of all the reasons he is a terrible person.
    Ah, closure.

    TMW you see a comment on a political thread bashing Politician X, and someone replies, apparently sincerely, "My sediments exactly."
