She highlighted your quoting of someone else's post (rather than their original post) and then clicked the popup "quote selection" button, which erroneously attributes it to you rather than the person you quoted. Happens quite often here, actually.

Secret Life Of Pets

I get these things a lot at my workplace too, and I also really struggle with it. Other people manage to write lengthy heart-felt messages, but I can't ever think of a damn thing to say. I just have to resort to something along the lines of "best wishes". That is even for people with whom I work closely and with whom I get on well. If someone is leaving and I barely even know them, I will sometimes just cross my name off the list when the card reaches me and pass it on without signing it at all.

Welcome, chroniconfusion! Nice to meet you too. I like your avatar!

No, these figures do not have any connection with tax brackets. They are calculated by the Observatoire Français des Conjonctures Économiques using calculations based around the median average income for the entire population, so the concepts of rich or poor are reflective of what income a person has in relation to everyone else - it doesn't necessarily reflect actual spending power, the cost of living, or tax bands. It covers all types income, not just wages, so includes things like income from financial investments, rental income from owned property, and even government benefits.

At least thirteen of his lawyers have already been: Criminally charged Convicted Sanctioned/censured Disbarred License suspended or have the above actions pending as of now. Several of his lawyers are "unindicted co-conspirators" in the Jan. 6 conspiracy case in Washington. Just because they're unindicted as of now doesn't mean they won't be.

If they somehow manage a win I think they'd be considered top-of-the-heap in the way Trump sort of is: obviously pathetic but just the right level of stupid to prat fall their way to success. Or the defense succeeded despite them.

I'm sure there are some that have those sorts of issues, simply not liking using other pronouns. For me the confusion more comes from what "gender" is though. Which, while it is something flexible, isn't something that is just made up. (And I definitely wouldn't feel right saying a trans person's identity is just made up). My understanding has always been that gender is an innate state of being. A trans woman is a woman. It's not just a vibe or personality trait or just a phase but really they are still a guy, it is who they are. Someone isn't literally a fox though.

that's definitely something my stepson would write This just made my day

I mean... yeah, agreed. 😂 'S*x' gets me every time, as do the even weirder versions I've come across. And I'm sure you can imagine Tele's no-bullshit opinion on it. But of course, I am a very charitable person.

"Interesting" is a rather charitable way of putting it, I think. I roll my eyes intensely whenever I see someone saying "s*x" If I feel compelled to respond it'll usually be with a cheeky remark like "six? six what?"

Screw relationships, navigating the high seas is much more fun! Now all you need is a pirate ship. My shoes are trying to eat my dog in revenge, how do I stop this?

I think it says something interesting about our society that simply the word 'sex' might be offensive to anyone. (This certainly isn't new information, of course.) If it's a conversation between adults, whether those adults are people who absolutely love sex or are repulsed by sex or anything in between, the word 'sex' itself should just be a neutral and straightforward term. Everyone knows what sex is, and calling it that isn't offensive. Considering it offensive just adds to problems like shame and repression and the sense that it's something hush-hush or bad. Slight tangent from

It's not like you have to use she/her as a female. It's not like you have to use he/him as a male. It's not like you have to use they/them as an enby. It's not like you have to use all or any pronouns as a genderfluid person. There isn't a given pronoun to anyone of any gender. Just use which one you feel comfortable with and what you truly believe fits you. I personally just use she/her because that's what I'm used to and what I'm happy with being referred to as. It's often said that demigirls, the gender I identify as, are meant to use she/they, but that's def

Tertiary attraction is basically any form of attraction that isn't romantic or sexual. Here are some that I know of: Aesthetic = Finding someone physically attractive Sensual = The desire to interact/touch someone in a non-sexual way, such as hugging or cuddling Platonic = The desire to form a platonic relationship/become friends with someone Alterous = The desire to have a special emotional connection or emotional relationship, but is neither completely platonic or romantic Emotional attraction = Having an affinity for another person based on their persona

Play an annoying song on repeat and then the other one won't be stuck in your head. I struggle navigating relationships.
