You could almost hear her attorney whimper.
What was her explanation of what it meant?
That's insane troll logic!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm paraphrasing, but it went something like:
Opposing attorney: Excuse me, I may not have quite caught the last thing you said.
DumbAss Witness: he was always trying to jew people down.. you know, save money whereever he could.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Argh!
Is it OK if I kill the people who worked on my car?
OK, so I'm gonna install a new carb. The carb sits on a spacer, which sits on the intake manifold. There is a gasket that goes in between the carb and the spacer, and another gasket that goes in between the spacer and the intake manifold. Even someone who knows nothing about cars should be able to grasp this, right?
So I look - there's two gaskets in between the carb and the spacer, and no gasket in between the spacer and the intake manifold.
So that's where that gas smell was coming from....
Well, I only have one new gasket anyway, so I'll just have to install the new carb tomorrow....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Running water is a beautiful thing. Even if it is a little rusty.
Amen. I'm off to take a shower right now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am entirely flabbergasted when anyone who's seen me tries to be racist/sexist/homophobic with me.
Okay, I was. Now I just wonder -- if I'm light enough that people assume I have a white parent, but am obviously black, although a couple people think I may be part-Korean too? And get taken for lesbian? Shhh. Don't look to me to agree with you.

That's so appalling.

Feh. I just figured out what I wanted to order from the nearby sushi restaurant to pick up on my way home, and then remembered it's still monday and the place is closed.
eta: It really is, Allyson, especially since she was suing because she was allegedly discriminated against.

That's right, Tom, you went through this this morning. I'm a little worried about the boiler, but...running water! Flush! Flush!
I turn into such a whiney first world brat without running water. It's downright panic-making. Which is why I have probably 15 gallons of water stashed in jugs from the last time this happened.

I've been told most of my life that I don't look Jewish. Usually after someone makes an offensive remark about Jews and I inform them that I am one.
Once, after a one nighter, the boy i was with was making small talk about his neighborhood and said something about the "fucking niggers down the street."
I told him that I hoped he didn't have any issues with Jews since he just had his dick in one.
And that was the end of that.
