I’m loving Love, Death & Robots. The quality of the animation and visuals really excites me. But I can’t watch it without thinking this is what everyone was hoping the PS5’s graphics would be like, in the build up to its launch.

An elderly couple came in wanting help with facebook and gofundme. I couldnt figure it out. But i stayed. Googled a few things to help. They figured out gofundme on their own, which was awesome. But we never could figure out why facebook was bugging. They gave me so much praise and thanked me so much for my help (to which i told them that i didnt do anything, it was all them), but they were adamant. Even going to my coworker who had called me up to help them to thank her for getting me. I honestly did nothing but stand there and try to google solutions, none of which helped. I guess some people just need moral support or someone to give them the confidence to do things on their own? Other than that... Im confused
love it - could be a great writing prompt generator for the flash and short story competitions... Any subject you like as long as it includes the words profile, clad, cleanup, suspect, and closet...
I am a first responder for victim services. If I have learned anything in the last ten years, it is this: sometimes the most valuable thing one does is to simply BE THERE.
Amber Heard -- his ex-wife -- mentioned in an interview that she had been abused. She didn't mention Johnny Depp, but he must have known she meant him (hmmm ... now how could he know that) so he sued her for defamation.
That seems pretty standard for a vending machine. Regular size m&m packages are like 1.50 at every machine i’ve seen lately.
Don't ask me for details because I don't know them. Apparently tight head prop is a specific player on the rugby team, like tight end in American football, except different, of course. Maybe I got the title wrong? It has been a while since I heard it.
It has taken just over two years but finally it's happened. A thread on WF on which I can contribute with absolute conviction, secure that my views below are beyond contradiction. That it happens to be Random and Useless can be set aside for now. A rugby team is comprised of 15 players, broken into 8 forwards and 7 pretty boys. The forwards compete against the opposition forwards at structured play like scrum and lineout. In the scrum, there is the front row, second row and back row. In the front row, the hooker in the middle is flanked on both sides by a prop. To the left is the loose head prop, so called because he nestles against just one opposition player, their tight head prop. The tight head prop is so called because he has an opposition head on both sides at scrum time. The hooker is so called partly because he will hook the ball with his foot when thrown in by one of the pretty boys at scrum time but mostly because he will offer sexual favours for small change. The second row place their heads between prop and hooker during scrum time, binding the prop's jersey with an arm through the prop's legs. Second rows are usually the tallest on the pitch and 14 year old me did a good soprano impression when my second row forgot to lose his bind before standing up after scrum completion. Oh the memories.
Well, yeah, it kinda is, given the number of people of Irish descent in America and the dearth of people of American descent in Poland. I had to look up "larp." Guess I ought to meander on over to the word of the day thread and add my newfound word to the list.
I love hearing Americans on TV list their heritage. They give huge lists like “I’m 1/8 Polish, 1/16th Mexican, 14th level Paladin, my Nan was an armadillo…” and yet their daily lives don’t remotely contain any of those cultures or traditions. They just do what everyone else does . When it comes down to it, millions of Americans have an American family tree made up of Americans. It’s why I don’t list my heritage. My family has been from the Midlands for a long long time, except the Welsh part, but there’s literally nothing about my upbringing that is noticeably Welsh. I wouldn’t say I’m 1/4 Welsh because culturally it had no impact. Unless you want to get into race essentialism, big lists don’t make a difference.
I tell my students that for most Americans, their ancestry means what their grandmothers cook on special occasions.
I feel lie my ancestry has mattered for me, but that's for two important reasons. 1 I am not just 1/4 or 1/8 but like 98% Irish. And 2. It had the very real effect of meaning the older members of my family on both sides, which are both heavily Irish background, have a particular brand of Irish Catholicism. My Mum isn't really religious but she still remembers a lot of the Bible her parents taught her and I've been to Catholic masses a few times with my grandparents on that side. I do feel cheated that no one in my family on either seems to speak Gaelic, despite all that Irish. Probably because it was in decline during the 19th century in Gold Rush immigration times. Still. Would have been kinda cool if I had learned a little of that growing up. Maybe I'll take some classes for it some day.
I think that's cheating because that's inside us, not part of us. Like the bacteria aren't part of your actual body itself anymore than a tapeworm is. It's just that some bacteria are actually necessary symbiotes.
