I would definitely try that game.

To back you up, WD40 stands for Water Displacer, 40th try.

While it does kind of lubricate, that isn't what it's meant for, and the leftover ingredients will not keep it lubricated long and possibly cause more damage in the long run.

WD40 to help restore motion to the joint, then clean, then oil. Or just oil if it moves easily.

Repeated concussions will do that to almost any crowd.

Well maybe don't ignore it.

It's a horror story to most women; maybe try engaging with it and see why it's horrifying.

All that said I haven't watched much of it either, so don't think I'm preaching at you.

The paradox of tolerance.

You cannot tolerate those who will not tolerate others. Those acting in bad faith will always work to tear down.

Hour by hour, my job evolved from taking calls from clients who owed us money, to then answering questions from agents who weren't as skilled at it as I was.

In the process of being promoted, I was asked to join a daily meeting of over 100 people talking about the issues affecting our department.

Once in a great while, something came up in that meeting that gave me the heads up to prevent chaos in our department and stress to members.

There's a whole shitload of cogs turning in modern corporations. There's also a huge danger of people leaving and nobody understanding why the cogs are there.

That's one hell of a headline.

I don't know the why but the first thing I said when I found out was "Polonium".

When I was in my mid 30s, a cute young 24 year old online started hitting on me.

Turned out she had three kids with three different dads and the most recent one was in jail for domestic abuse.

I still almost went for it though. Problem is my life was in the shitter and couldn't even afford to fly down or for her up to see me.

We were 'together' for about six months when I wised up and broke it off.

Soup(ply) / planner / propaganda here.

Can you explain the refrain in the rain?

 

I was honestly curious if there was a link between the two terms, not a scientific one.

That said the number of participants in the study makes it a little questionable.

Left to right and actually sorted oldest to youngest we have:

Bernie Sanders is eight years old.

Miles Morales is just over four.

Abed Nadir & Troy Barnes are two and a quarter.

Maryjane is just over a year and is a foster fail. I'm the one that insisted on the failure. My dad adopted Mongo from the same litter.

Maryjane was supposed to be a Peter Parker but my wonderful professional vet tech wife was wrong this time.

Somehow everyone gets along in our house. 5 cats, 2 labradors, 1 tortoise, almost zero fights.

 

Hey all, I'm a cis ally in the upper Midwest of the USA. I offered a room to Keris a while back and she accepted.

She got here Wednesday night and things are going very well. She likes me, my wife, and our cats and one dog, and is learning to tolerate the other.

She has an attic bedroom that is her space alone.

She has time to unwind and figure out what she wants to do without fear of being dumped on the streets.

I just wanted to let you all know that we have taken her in and that she is safe and loved.

 

I've been a fan of They Might Be Giants for most of my life and have always been surprised that people universally disagree with me on this.

Linnell's songs tend to be quirkier but also shallower. (State Songs is a good example here - there isnt a song for every state and theyre often abstract to the point of meaninglessness. I expected such a project to have more inspiration behind it.

I've always found Flansburgh's more melodic and thoughtful, slightly better composed, and with a superior singing voice.

Of course they're a great duo and they play off each other's strengths. I don't dislike Linnell at all, just the songs that he sings tend to not be my favorites.
