This happened right outside my building.
Ugh. I saw that on the news this morning. The bastard's still loose, too....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
So my question is, is this jewelry appraisal thing a big scam?
Depends on who's doing it. You'll almost never get appraisal value when reselling, and it's more useful for things like insurance than anything else, to get a ballpark for replacement. I see people trying to sell things for close to the appraisal on craigslist, and just have to say, "Honey, no!" because what they want is usually double what a similar item will go for at market value.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damn, brenda. That's --- people are crazy. I hope they get him soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Definitely glad you weren't there, brenda. Yikes.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Yikes, Brenda. So sad, that a guy should make it 51 years only to get zotzed over cabfare.
When I was 19 I was 6' 3" and 140 lbs. People were concerned for my health.
Tommyrot was me. Nineteen and skeletal. In my case, clumsy as hell, on top of it all.

eta:
Fisking, or to Fisk, refers to the act of critiquing, often in minute detail, an article, essay, argument, etc. with the intent of challenging its conclusion or theses by highlighting supposed logical fallacies and incorrect facts.
Someone having fun with a "how to tell if your child is a Goth" article. The article is so lame - as the fisker says, " I really can't tell if these things are for real anymore."
If five or more of these apply to your child, please intervene immediately. The gothic culture is dangerous and Satan thrives within it. If any of these problems persist, enlist your child into your local mental health center.
eta: Maybe not as fun as Cat Stacking, but... world's smallest PacMan game. No, really....

A Goth fisking
I've definitely been around here too long, because I didn't read that word as "fisking" the first 4 times I read it.
However, I have no idea what a "fisking" is anyway, which may be part of it.

Huh, so not too far off from what I was thinking the word was originally after all. :)
